  1. Lots of good points already made here, but I think this is a big part of it. We've looked down on blue collar work a while now. Boys that would be better off going into the trades instead go to some shitty directional state school or commuter college because it was the only place that would take them, then rack up a bunch of debt to get a shit degree that doesn't land them a good paying job. Then they're in an office setting surrounded by high achieving women who aren't very interested in them. I will say it seems like Gen Z is rediscovering the trades, and I'm hopeful it will be good for a lot of them. Those are mostly jobs that aren't going to get automated away and there's going to be a ton of jobs available as the boomers finally retire.
  2. I've been calling this since the midterms. I thought Texas might go the same way (still might) but Texas growth seems a bit more diverse.
  3. Have you seen the YouTube vids of the one they restored with the original lambo engines? Fucking art.
  4. Nah, if GOLL is going to blow a fortune on something aquatic, it’s going to be something like one of those gorgeous mahogany speedboats you see on Lake Como. Which might actually be a worse investment than jet skis
  5. Hopefully the Rogan bros see the rain and think “oh well, he’s gonna win Texas anyway.” And stay home
  6. hopefully not in the room where they keep the litterboxes!
  7. That’s honestly not the worst AI business pitch I’ve ever heard.
  8. I hope he’s made some promises to Putin he can’t keep
  9. shit, 3 fingers. I’m not a bowler
  10. I heard it as “you can only get four fingers in a bowling ball”
  11. Hard to do if they let the line hold
  12. also, unless I'm missing it, that truck isn't 4WD. No selector I can see anywhere. I didn't think they made a TRD Pro that wasn't 4x4
  13. 30 seconds of sweet, sweet love, and three minutes of apologizing.
  14. He's funny as a roast comedian, where everyone goes in expecting some off-color insults. But even in that environment, he has a meanness about him you don't see in some of the other great roast comedians. Jeff Ross, Jesilnek, Nikki Glaser are all great roast comics, but they say stuff with a bit of a wink and grin that keeps it light. Hinchcliffe comes off as an asshole more often than not.
  15. I wonder about their definition of rural. If they're including all the exurbs around the major metros that are blowing up I could see it.
  16. You know what? I wouldn't hate Kamala appointing Liz AG, or some kind of Special Counsel to investigate domestic terrorism. And I'd love to be a fly on the wall at MAL when Trump hears the news.
  17. I voted in the D primary so I could vote for Roland Gutierrez.
  18. This. I vote in the R primary a lot in mid-term years because in many of the county and judicial elections it may as well be the general. A lot of the races in the general, the R winner is unopposed.
