  1. Did not go as hoped or even conceived. Apparently I am the black sheep of the family now. I just cannot comprehend it. One of those real "Jesus... am I the crazy one?" kind of moments to be that soundly rebuffed, and literally called a communist. Thank god for my wife and son, but I feel really fucking alone right now.
  2. I haven't been this upset that I can recall. To have this happen, to a mother of three who just dropped her kid off (same age as my kid) and then have this happen, and then to have the admin COMPLETELY lie and gaslight the public and blame the woman is beyond me. I can't deal with this any more, but we're stuck. No easy way to move overseas. I just sent a group chat to my family members (parents and grandparents mostly... obviously...) telling them to defend their vote in front of the family. Fucking OWN it. Seeing this shit makes it much, MUCH easier to understand how people have become radicalized against America in other parts of the world where we just indiscriminately kill people, collateral damage be damned.
  3. Almost exact same age bracket. I was conscious enough to know that when I got prior promotions to being a head professional and then eventually GM of a country club in Florida, those opportunities would not have been presented to me if I wasn’t a well spoken white man. Not a chance. Anyone thinking otherwise is being willfully obtuse.
  4. Wife and I easily would have had another one if not for COVID and then daycare and health insurance running us $30,000/year. Would love for my son to have a sibling but we could barely afford it (just kidding, we couldn't afford it and suffered financially in many ways). As someone else mentioned... it's almost a selfish move to have kids in this country these days. Being born into a country who's days of the global superpower/leader of the "free" world beginning to sunset has not historically gone well for other empires.
  5. Jesus... you know you've been on this board, and it's former aliases, WAY too long when you see this and laugh, but can't remember the details of that story. God... it's been like 10-15 years hasn't it?
  6. Can relate to this quite a bit. As I've mentioned on other threads, I WFH in Colorado while my company is still in Florida. Travel a couple times a quarter for meetings/etc. I LOVE WFH, especially with a child in kindergarten, the flexibility is priceless. But I'd be lying if I said that even though I don't miss the commute, morning prep, etc., I do miss the people I work with and being in and around the office and the chatter. I'm fortunate enough to have a really great team that we truly enjoy spending time together. For example, our leadership team just visited the Philippines for a week to meet some of our remote staff that live out there. There's an undeniable intangible benefit to working across the desk from someone rather than just a face on the Teams call. I'd go back to in office for $240 vs WFH for $120. Now... if the WFH was $160k+, easily choose WFH.
  7. Who the fuck cares? It'd be like finishing birdie birdie to shoot 105. Already a shit round who cares how it ends.
  8. $55. To feed 10 people a Thanksgiving dinner. Total.

    It's hard to justify $19.99/lb store price for NY Strips... let alone approaching $30/lb for a good Ribeye.
  10. The narrative tomorrow will be Trump crowing about how the Dems finally came to their senses/etc... and they're letting that happen. If you weren't going to hold out until the GOP finally decided to negotiate more, then why even hold out to begin with? And now you're throwing away any and all leverage you have for the "promise" of a future vote... where you don't even have the votes to get it passed? I CANNOT WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THIS IDIOCY Pray tell... who, if anyone, ARE they good enough to? Besides the liberal 1%?
  11. I’d say it’s unfuckingbelievable but it’s the democrats under Schumer, so it’s actually par for the course. Fuck these traitors, all of them.
  12. The later seasons didn't capture the same magic, but those early to mid times of The Office were absolute gold.
  13. It truly is exhausting. I've mentioned in other threads I work in Property Management, notably short term/vacation rentals, and we actually have guests calling in and asking if we will refund their stays because they decided not to travel due to the shutdown. Keep in mind most of our guest clientele is the Boomer/affluent type, so I know the vast majority of them voted for this. The mere idea that they think small business should bail them out personally because of lack of a functioning federal government is laughable, but also just incredibly frustrating because they then blame us for the situation they're in. There are days I struggle to understand how they breathe the same air as we do. I can feel myself becoming more and more jaded these last several months, mostly due to the sheer overwhelming stupidity of the average FOX viewer/GOP and just outright lies and gaslighting by the administration constantly, but also as a dad and husband who's struggling to really see any optimism for this country any time soon.
  14. The DNC needs to stop trying to court voters who voted for Trump in 2024. There are no centrists anymore, if people are too either ignorant or stupid to vote for Trump... why bother worrying about being too radical for that small subset of voters? Instead, generate some excitement and energy by being "radical" and offering healthcare, daycare, etc. and court the 1/3 of the country that sits out every election cycle. For fucks sakes the next time I hear Pelosi/Schumer/Jeffries worry about alienating themselves from some of the voters on the right... "Well, look... we have to be willing to embrace a little bit of fascism and racism, otherwise we risk losing out on those potential swing voters." The DNC has done nearly as much as the RNC to shift the Overton window as much as it has in recent years due to their pointless capitulation at every opportunity to not offend Cletus.
  15. How and where do you live lol
