  1. In 2013 my wife had a miscarriage. I think it affected her a bit more than me, which I think is understandable. What is tough was we had been trying for awhile to get pregnant. But it wasn’t meant to be at that point. The day after the D&C procedure, I was on my way to work and flipped my truck on its side and spun down MOPAC. Fortunately Toyota makes a pretty damn good vehicle and I wasn’t injured. It was a fairly intense couple of days. Oh, and as far as intense and emotional, 9/11 was pretty crazy as I was living in DC at the time. But I am pretty sure I have told that story a few times over the years on this and the old site.
  2. Apple earbuds are fucking awful. Won’t stay in place. I bought some shit called Palo Vue I think. Cheap but had good reviews. Apple earbuds are fucking awful. Won’t stay in place. I bought some shit called Palo Vue I think. Cheap but had good reviews.
  3. How about skyline chili 4-ways the fuck out of this thread? It’s like I’m in the texas bbq thread and motherfuckers are putting mayonnaise on grilled chicken and calling it bbq.
  4. New Balance. See the N pattern? Looks like a common garter snake.
  5. Are there any Elon fanboys left on this site? How about ones that think the cybertruck is cool?
  6. I always thought glory holes were more of a sexually woke thing.
  7. Problem is, we are stable like a top. If we stop spinning, we fall down.
  8. We are the middle child of the generations that are running things right now.
  9. Exactly. Goddamn it man, either shake my hand or don’t.
  10. Yep, I feel the same. And like other introverts or semi-introverts, I don’t think this has anything to do with loneliness. I think the quality of the social interactions and the regularity (whether that means daily for one person, or quarterly to another) is what is important.
  11. I don’t care for the middle eastern handshake style. Catches me off guard every time.
  12. That’s funny. In reading this and a couple of replies to my question further proves that while I am capable of being social, even outgoing, at times, it’s not my normal MO. I prefer to be on my own or a small group.
  13. That’s narcissism. And I do believe a lot of it these days is fueled by social media/keeping up with the joneses.
  14. When was the last time one of y’all had a block party in your neighborhood? My folks, before retiring to the coast, lived in the same hood for over 40 years. Before I was 10 we had at least 2 big block parties that I can remember. I asked my folks if any had happened since I moved out at 18 and they said no. Now some of that is because it was young, growing families that moved in when the neighborhood was built and as kids (and parents) got older, moved out, promotions at work with more responsibilities these things fell to the wayside. However, in the past 10-15 years right before they left, much of the hood had flipped and again has younger, growing families. But still no block parties. I guess it’s all the same factors that we are discussing that have caused people to become more insulated and isolated.
  15. I told that Kraut a fuckin' thousand times, I don't roll on shabbos.
  16. All true. I recently returned to the engineering side of O&G from the owner side (because I am a fucking idiot). The story is always the same. Client is one of the more notorious hard ass oil companies in the world and drives a schedule that is just absurd. Many of the engineers are working 50-60 hours a week to try to deliver. It’s not worth it, especially if you have kids. And if both parents work, it just puts more stress on home life. Not because of lack of earnings, but time. That’s great that you worked your ass off and squirreled away money for your kids education, but at the rate we are going those kids will be so fucked up it might not matter.
  17. Chrispy must be the loneliest person on the internet because he absolutely can not walk away from this site/community. Yet he is here with his homie deacon dickbag to give us all advice. Regarding smart phones and the like, axiom mentioned this was in motion prior to their invention. However, there does seem to be a correlation with the proliferation of the internet in the mid 90s. It’s a double edged sword to say the least.
  18. Which proves the point that he is a pathetic dickhead.
  19. I have asked this several times in the shitposters thread. And you are leaving out a few of his screen names. Imagine being such a loser that you can’t find something better to do with your short time on this planet that you feel compelled to create 15 different accounts on a forum where you aren’t welcome because you are a fucking idiot douchebag.
  20. Y’all need stop calling them fake Baptists. They are quintessential baptists. Texas 38 Baylor 20
  21. Why not both? I mean I am brain dead after the first 3 quarters of the Texas game.
