Dude's one of my favorite players of all time. Pure class.

I know I already responded to this post earlier, but I'd add that they'll do anything they can to get the upper hand, even when it gains them no advantage at all, and even when they might actually be worse off for it. This is simply how they live their lives. 'Fuck errbody' is their mindset. 'Winning!' It's like a friend of mine said about working with COTA's Bobby Epstein: "He'll go out of his way to lie, even when he doesn't need to, and/or even when it does him no good to do so".

Nobody's questioning their right to not vote. It's just fucking stupid. It's not that hard to understand. It's also a copout. "Hey, I didn't vote for ______. Don't blame me for this shitshow" ... no matter who wins.

Yeah I'd vote for Kamala, fwiw. People can vote for whomever they want, but they need to stop being pussies and get out and do it. Now, possibly more than ever.

What in the actual fuck? Who are these morons? They need a foot in their ass.

Just wait til you start seeing these fuckers at HEB ... when it's open.

I didn't have one when I posted. My kid watches it all the time and I was watching with him. A very quick google search led me here ... ETA: btw iirc there is no Kill Tony thread on the surl, which absolutely blows my mind. It might be the most surly-esque show/podcast ever.

Just watched the Biden/Trump episode of Kill Tony. omfg. Tears of laughter. Do yourself a favor and go watch it. /csb

I've heard FAs make announcements telling people how to do it the right way, the quickest way, and I've even seen one come back through the plane as the front rows emptied out, directing the process for the numbnuts dipshits that can't see beyond their own little bubble where they're the only ones who matter. I really appreciated her going out of her way to do that, esp on the shit salary she makes for a thankless job.

Yes.

Este. Fucking stupid, and it pisses me off.

Yeah when we flew KAL to Thailand via Seoul last month, it was like another universe. Just an amazing flying experience, in terms of passenger behavior. The Koreans are probably the best-behaved people I've ever seen in airplanes and airports. Everything is calm, quiet, orderly, and runs like clockwork. No stupid, selfish complaining, no unnecessary noise. People wait their turn, are considerate af, and keep to themselves. Before we left LAX for Seoul, we sat at the gate for about 45 minutes waiting for connecting passengers. Probably 95% of the passengers were Korean. It was like a church on that plane. Everyone just chill and quiet. I'd never seen anything like it.Get delayed for 10 minutes on a flight here, and there's always a ruckus. While connecting in Seoul, in what is by far the nicest airport I've ever seen, you could barely even tell when they were boarding a flight at a gate. Everyone was just chilling, only getting up to board once their zone was quietly announced. It was amazing. When did manners stop being a thing here?

Stayed in Akumal a few days ago like we always do, bouncing from cenote to cenote. Went to Tulum, and it's insane how much it's blown up even just since we were there two years ago. Fucking overrun with dipshit hipster dufuses & wannabe social media stars.

Go to Zermatt. You're welcome. And Montreux, like @elfenix said. Yeah when we went, I didn't research well enough about how crazy expensive Switzerland is. Went to Spain. Cheap. Got to Geneva and then Zermatt, and just wow. Then on to Italy, and everything's super cheap again. Once I got my head around the Swiss prices, I just accepted we'd just have to spend a shit-ton to do the place justice, and we just went with it. Don't regret it one bit. Amazing trip. It was all worth it.

Yeah I've never seen a Democratic or Republican party convention that looked or sounded anything like this. This thing tonight is just bizarre. The whole thing is clearly aimed at the absolutely lowest IQ level imaginable. If this actually helps them gain votes, then we're all fucked.

Yeah the extreme lack of shade/shelter out there is probably its biggest problem for attendees.

Yep, and MSP says 'Hi'.

So, just got back from Isla today... Took American from Cancun. Dumb Blonde Bitch ahead of us in the boarding line argues with the gate agent, saying her huge purse shouldn't count as a third carry-on. Gate agent won. Made her check her bag. Then, mid flight, her and her DBag boyfriend are loud enough to wake Mrs. Wood (no pics) in 17A. She was not amused.We're in 17A-D, and they're in 17 E & F. I could hear 'em even with my noise-cancelling headphones on. Then we land. As soon as the plane comes to a stop at the gate, DBag and Dumb Blonde Bitch tap my 20 yo in 17D on the shoulder, and then immediately start climbing over him to get to the aisle and get his bags. I was sitting in 17B so I couldn't really do anything about it like I would normally do, by simply standing up and stepping partially into the aisle. My kid was taken off guard by the suddenness of it all, and he just let 'em go. They grab their stuff 2 rows ahead of where they were sitting (of course), and block people in up there. While this is happening, a bunch of idiots from behind us rush up behind DBag & DBB. Me first. Fuck errbody. Too many people just fucking suck on airplanes and most places these days, especially Americans, at least in my experience flying internationally. The silver lining was that deplaning was delayed because of a jetway issue, so the assholes had to stand there for 10 minutes like vertical sardines, sweating while everyone around them ridiculed them. Better yet, they were breaking their necks to get off the plane just to stand waiting at the baggage carousel for the bag she earlier tried to slip onto the plane as a carry-on. We laughed at 'em as we passed them on the way to the GE kiosk, and were out of there before the baggage carousel even started moving. Karma's a bitch. /csb

Airport ... bus station. 220. 221. They're all the same now.

Yeah, don't ever go to a race at COTA in September. I was there when they had their only other WEC race in September, late September iirc. It was hot as fuck. Ant Davidson drove in that race and said not long ago that it was easily the hottest race he'd ever driven. "Dangerously hot", iirc. And this one will likely be hotter. I'll probably go, but I doubt I'll get there before late afternoon.

They could make the cars more 'spec', which they've already done a lot of over the last few years, but the further they move in that direction, the further they move away from the DNA of F1.

This here.
