We can't disappoint the stakeholders. Next 12 months needs to be hotter.

Facts. I had a major health issue essentially overnight, no long term disability but decent health insurance. Maxed out my deductible 2 consecutive years, was unable to work for 10 months. Still in medical debt with no savings almost 3 years later because of this setback. Hoping to get the debt paid off in the next year and start saving up again.

Same, I had to read up on it again.

Also, this was the first time parents were charged, as they purchased the gun for him.

I swear I used to work with that guy in eastern Kentucky

I thought this was AI. My brain did not comprehend this at first look.

I honestly love that statistic. It's like a venn diagram of Trump screwing people over, people dumb enough to buy NFTs, and Trump supporters. It looks like this 🔴

That's incorrect. The goal of the GOP is to delegitimize it. They're just upset because their guy was the only president to be impeached twice for legitimate reasons.

That's not what happened

I've voted straight Democrat for 10 years and I hate it. I don't believe the US is as polarized as its portrayed. But our options are either "Fascist" or "At least we're not those guys". I HOPE ranked choice voting becomes a thing in our lifetime.

I just left the restaurant industry after 10 years (mostly as a cook). This is too accurate, unfortunately 😐

You're correct. She was 17 when this occurred

Or just not vote.

My wife and I have an Australian shepard named Olive. We've already committed to getting a mini and naming it caper

I haven't seen anyone mention it in this thread, but speculation is this is a feud between two Oklahoma State fraternities. They have been placing dead animals on each other's property for months and this has nothing to do with the championship game. The longhorn apparently died on one of the students farms and they relocated it.

I can't confirm any of this, just what I read elsewhere.

Which one are you voting for?

I'd like to find a viable 3rd party candidate that can win the presidential election and disrupt the 2 party system we currently have.

Your hair looks small.

I have a pretty uncommon name and happen to share it with a local news reporter/host. I don't ever watch the local news so I rarely think about it.

At least a few times a year someone I don't know will bring it up. Mostly it's if I have an appointment or made reservations. I'll check in and they'll have a disappointed look and say they expected someone else.

Rant:

I had a pretty intense acid trip once and came to the conclusion that nothing matters, there is no meaning to life, there is only an illusion of free will, and most likely our existence and personal experiences in life will be completely forgotten within 3 generations (almost like we never existed to begin with). I was super duper depressed after that for several months.

It eventually gave me a different outlook on life though. If it's only temporary and there is no meaning, I can create my own meaning and enjoyment in life. Live in the moment, do what you want, and create as much meaning and enjoyment for yourself as you can while you have the opportunity. Don't worry about what others might think because eventually their existence is going to be forgotten as well.

The act of dying might suck, but being dead and not existing seems very serene. Sometimes things just sort of end.

Thanks Biden

I think he still got into the boy s ol.

Buddy, not all Asians love KFC

What a weird comment. They are not even remotely comparable.

Here's similar statement from an article I found.

Kennedy Thomason, a reporter for The O'Colly, told _WFAA that she speculates this to be a prank from a rival fraternity. She was first on the scene, and her pictures of the steer before it was hauled off have been widely shared.

"I can't confirm that, but from my own opinion, yeah, that's what I would say."_

The original statement I made originated from a local OSU podcast. I'm not sure where that was from and can't source it. __

Edit: For what it's worth "The O'Colly" looks like Oklahoma State's student newspaper?

You look good and it looks like you're making an effort to do so. That first impression is a huge first step in interviewing! Good luck!

It's a partial/focal seizure. I have those :(

I used to be a 2 pillow guy but I've moved down to one. I'm using a Nectar pillow now. It's pricey but so far so good.

I'm sorry to hear that and i hope it gets better for you and your wife. It's not easy hitting those deductibles when one or both of you aren't able to work.

I use it in tandem with my other 4 fingers.

That hurts to read.

King Gizz was number 1 on my list this year too. Honestly, surprised how many I'm seeing in this thread lol

I also got Boulder with top 3 of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, Portugal. The Man, and Flatbush Zombies

Where do you think 99% of restaurants supply their food from? It's all store bought. They just make it for you.

Yea, it doesn't really matter if this was done because of a rivalry between schools or between fraternities. It's pretty fucked up regardless. Hopefully, they find the responsible parties and hold them accountable

Try mansplaining. Rephrase their argument, use it as your new position and act like they don't get it.

Interesting position. Seems very elitist and non-inclusive. Maybe that stance contributes to why rural areas in America don't support the democratic party.

Bro, this is a capitalist country. If you want something, pull yourself up by those bootstraps and go earn some money to buy it.
