I wish I could say the same thing. My dad has gone from a never Trumper in 2020 to a full blown supporter. In the last few weeks he has told me that he thinks Trump is a good man, that tariffs are a good thing for the economy and that gas in CA is $8/gallon because Newsome shut down the refineries. They believe so many things that are objectively false and easily disprovable with 2 min of Google searches. But he sits at home, mainlining Fox News all day long and believes them over anything else.
Had dinner with him 2 nights ago because my youngest is going off to college. It was such a strained conversation because all he wants to talk about is his dumb Fox News shit but he knows that I won't abide that. So we had several long, awkward silences as I tried to think of safe topics to discuss. And even then, he tried to slip some bullshit into the conversation a couple of times but stopped when it was immediately refuted.
I want the man who raised me back and I know he's gone forever. He's 85 and has been fully consumed by the right wing propaganda machine.
Depends on what kind of dog you have. When we got our current dog (9 year old purebred Newfie), the cheapest pet insurance policy I could find was $200/mo. For an 8 week old puppy. And we know it just goes up every year from there. Even with all the money we've spent on him (probably 15k), we are well ahead of where we would be with pet insurance.
This is fucking bizarre. Since they clearly are not going to play him unless they have to, they should trade him at this point. This is an insane depth chart after how he played on Friday, though.
He thinks windmills are ugly so he doesn't want them built. I don't think it goes any deeper than that.
This cocksucker is doing serious harm to my business for no fucking reason at all right now. I hate him so fucking much.
Yeah, I respect the engineering and the performance but today's hypercars do nothing for me. I think the Porsche 918/La Ferrari/P1 are the last ones I really liked.
I would never own any sports car at this point in my life, though. They are useless where I live.
My favorite medieval torture I've heard of was in Munich. If a meat vendor sold bad meat, they would be placed in a cage bare ass naked and dunked in the shit river coming out of the city. Our tour guide told us they didn't have much of a problem with meat vendors selling bad meat.
They are also deciding en masse to not vacation in the US anymore. Wife was reading me an article earlier today. Canadian visits to the US are down almost 60% and European visits are down almost 40%. It's a big deal because they stay for weeks at a time and spend a lot of money when they visit.
It's not that bad unless you've got weather to deal with. Independence, OTOH, is sketchy as fuck. Last time I drove that I was certain one of the vans with rafts on the trailer was gonna hit me and send me off the edge.
After slogging through Book 5 of the Stormlight Archive, I found the Blacktongue Thief. Really enjoyed the first book and I'm halfway through book #2. Highly recommend.
Thinking about adding one of these for my 5wt rod. I'm not 100% sure I like the styling, but you can't get the Ross Animas with the Coors logo anymore. It's only the Cimarron now. What do you think? It's heavy, too. 5.8 oz for the 4/5 wt reel.
