  1. @Gatorubet looks like we were reading the same article-- should have read your post first!
  2. I agree. Been thinking of that. I read earlier this week that the number or percentage of folks late on their car payments has doubled and is higher than during the 2008 crisis (and the economists interviewed were talking about how it's a very big deal because the car payment is one that most people prioritize first, after shelter because it's so important in US). ETA: Also a big driver obviously is car payments are like literally twice what they were in 2008 with the average car price being so high and the dearth of cheap/budget/economy vehicles anymore, etc. Might be able to get some sweet rides on the cheap soon?
  3. Um. WHAT? are you a literal insane person? I was saying that @immamacis like Atlas with the world (tailgate) on his singular shoulder and he has decided it's not worth carrying the weight of it all alone.
  4. Atlas Shrugged
  5. Dang I just cancelled Netflix too, this is the ONE thing I would want to watch on that platform.
  6. 100% agree with that explanation. I think the pod save interview solidified that for me.
  7. Not only is it a very iffy source, if you watched the pod save america podcast, he mentioned getting threats from the party and leaders that if he didn't pull back from his ambitions and running, they would ruin his life and harrass him. So one could reasonably assume, if you believe him to be a truthteller, that this could be an attempt at some political skullduggery.
  8. I mean truly, it's pretty obvious to me that this guy isn't a sleeper cell or secret nazi, but an ignorant former marine who is trying his hand as a B-team populist. If the fine people of beautiful Maine think he's compelling and interesting and have faith that he can be an operator, then God bless them and good luck.
  9. Which is the biggest "overton window has shifted" evidence and all you really need because in the 00's to liberals Ronald Reagan was the most right-wing, conservative devil to have ever governed.
  10. Had to google, is this right? If so, big congrats to you, that is a big milestone!
  11. Agree 100%
  12. Saw Overshown at Baylor (The Star) yesterday. He's hilarious and quite the personality. Everyone loves him there, obviously he's a known commodity.
  13. Wait, the cease fire is over?
  14. I'm not insinuating that a job interviewee being honest and open is a bad thing, I'm saying that trying to bend a narrative to fit what you think the other side of the desk wants to hear, is cringy when it's a miss which is what is happening in that PSA. I would argue that it's actually NOT being honest and open when you are trying to fit a square hole in a round peg and you can hear it. It's like when a musician makes music and an album that you think would best sell and will make you popular versus playing good music intrinsic to you. Either way, that's why it's always good to have a couple of different people in the room, for like when you are interviewing, some people hear things or perceive things differently than others and that diversity is good. How is the job search going btw?
  15. The way Mayor Pete communicates is the gold standard for me, personally. I also appreciated Mitt Romney's communication style and Bill Clinton and Obama. I even appreciated some of Dubya's "folksy" communication style. So I can appreciate a spectrum. Fair enough, we are just hearing different things I guess. It happens.
  16. It actually sounds like he is trying to tell you what you want to hear and isn't doing a great job of it. The tone feels like an afectation, like one of trying to sound agrieved and attacked, as his defense. Have you listened to the PSA podcast interview? I listened to about 20 mins of it.
  17. Man, this guy is not media trained at all. He sounds like when you interview a guy for a job who isn't a great fit but they really want the job and it's just very hard to sit through (Pod Save America interview).
  18. Listening to the Pod Save America video, I think it's kinda funny that he is owning, if not doubling down, on the problematic reddit stuff, especially about "HeY GuYs WhY dOnT bLaCk pEoPle TiP, iS iT CuLtUrAl?" His defense of, "hey, I was just asking questions because I didn't grow up around black people and was genuinely curious" feels like a miss.
  19. Thought this was funny:
  20. $200mm in aid gone. Poof, like a far in the wind: https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/trump-says-u-s-is-cutting-aid-to-colombia-over-drugs-9e22e64b
  21. 17. Missing JAX, Indy and surprisingly Philly.
  22. I had Sammy's downtown Dallas late last week for the first time in probably 10 years. Wow. It's so bad. Maybe I should have posted in the "how is this place still in business" thread. And that I would guess is a primo real estate location.
  23. I know almost next to nothing about Joey except that somehow, out of 7 fully grown men and some living legends, as a baby rapper he had the best verse on 1 train. That got my attention but then it obviously faded. I'm an old man with little free time.
