Exactly. I like and play sports a lot, I get my competition there. I didn’t need it in my games.

I know right? I mean if they colluded to lower advertising prices through collective agreement that would be something. Especially if they had an internal forcing mechanism to ensure compliance.
But um, they set out voluntary guidelines they suggested everyone follow to protect each member’s own best interests, and decided to spend zero dollars to buy nothing, which is a far far cry from trying to spend zero dollars to buy something.
What an ultra-maroon.
I’ll allow it!
Exactly. Hence the chaos creating.
You forgot: don’t wear underwear. So exhausting AND gross.
Create some real chaos, make it look like Putin did it using one of his preferred methods.
Not sure why you’re getting the down votes, that was funny AF :)
Yup. This is my guy, my VA rep. I remember getting either a mailer, or a newsletter, or whatever, update from his office talking about him starting this. Thought it was great and locked in my support. I agree we need to keep flowing in young blood into congress, but Don is still doing good work and doing his best to keep relevant.
‘Please proceed, governor Mr. Trump’
Sounds like a great reason to GTFO of Tennessee
Hahaha love it
I don’t have kids, and perhaps you don’t either?
I’m old enough with enough friend with kids, and recall being a 2yo myself, and I can say its INCREDIBLY easy to lose track of a 2yo. It only takes seconds to lose sight of them. How far they get after losing site isn’t an indicator of how long you weren’t paying attention, but how long you’ve been looking before finding them.
Correct.
Next question.
I want off this timeline!
Yup, 100% with you there. I’m just saying that friendship can start with that one thing in common and grow. Or fizzle out when you quickly figure out it’s the only thing in common.
As another responder said, work is potentially your largest adult social pool to source from. Don’t dismiss it. But of course don’t feel obligated either.
Nope, not hard to understand. But that’s a different context than people’s blanket, “No”.
I can very much relate to being in a work environment where I there was no one I’d choose to interact with outside of professional conversation or idle water-cooler talk; if even that!
I’ve also been lucky enough to be in other ones where I’ve made great friends that I’ve had over for game nights, taken road trips with, invited to my house, been to their wedding (and they mine), and gone to shows with.
All I’m suggesting is to be open to it.
ITT: I don’t want to ever socialize with my co-workers Also: How do you make friends as an adult?
Look I’m not a huge fan of forced socialization myself. I HATE small talk. I’m looking for the door before I have the first drink in my hand at “networking events”. But I also know one of the biggest opportunities I have to meet new people as an adult is at at work. So I choose the situation carefully to make sure it’s one I’m comfortable with and I give it a go. I’ve made a few lasting friends, people I play soccer with, people I invite over my house, people who my other friends got tight with, and over all growing my social group. A number of them don’t even work for the same company anymore, or in my immediate office at least.
I’m not saying to do anything you don’t want to do, and forced fun can suck, but if you DO want to meet people in life and make friends, don’t force-limit your opportunities to interact with new people. Pick, or even suggest!, the situation that works for you.
“Team Blue”? who’s talking politics. Nature DGAF about who you voted for. Anyway …
Geologic time for continental drift is not even close to the same as annual hurricane season and [wait for it] wild fires!!! And guess what, I DO say the same about anyone loving in areas prone to more and more wild fires who continue to rebuild there. But at least wild fires have one small chance of being mitigated through proper fuel management and power-line spark prevention.
I know I said it, but you’re focusing too much on my one-in-a-million comment, as if I was saying what you described isn’t happening. I know wealth consolidation is happening.
My point was that unlike the downturn, recession, busts, that cause what your describing, THIS type of climate related weather event is just going to keep happening to that same location. And that it’s better to help the poor that are impacted relocate where they won’t get hammered by the next hurricane.
And if the rich want to swoop in and build on that land that is now legit worthless they are welcome to. I believe they will regret it when Nature strikes again. They can’t gentrify against nature. And all their value will be wiped out each time.
I understand your overall concept, for real, unpredictable one-in-a-million catastrophes.
But this is slightly different. So the wealthy swoop in, buy cheap, and renovate. GOOD. LET THEM. They will pay a lot of money to poor workers in need of jobs, pay INSANE costs to insure, if anyone will even insure them, and then climate change will wipe out their house too. Rinse repeat until everyone gets it through their thick skulls it’s a problem not to be fucked with.
Or said another way, if you want the government to support the poor people who lost their homes, do it by helping them relocate, not help them rebuild their castle so it can sink into the swamp again.
