Random talk thread: It just keeps happening

[I'm a Puppy!]

Just imagine how much damage I could do if I was ideologically invested in their cause instead of merely being a white collar mercenary. :geoff

"mercenary"

You're just like me. You're a corporate whore.

Football problems

My son plays RB....loud mouthed dad has son who also plays RB.....

My son is the better player, and hence he is starting. Cue loudmouth saying "take his knees out and get that spot son" during a contact drill.

Me "Say that again and we're going to have a chat about respect"

Loudmouth "Dude I'll bust your ass"

Me *laughing and shaking head

loudmouth "you want it, I got it"

Me "In front of the kids? Great idea"

I walk towards the concession stand to have a chat behind it motioning for him to follow me....he calls the cops

Hilarity ensues and he ends up getting arrested for threatening a cop


Idiot parents ruin youth events.

I feel bad for that dude's kid

I feel bad for that dude's kid

I hate the "glory days" type of parent who are living their no existant sports life through their child. There really is nothing worse.

At least my kid got to see how a real man handles an issue. I never raised my voice nor would I have fought him. I would have just asked him to be reasonable and to relax and enjoy the damn sport.

In the metaphorical sense there is little functional distinction between the two. They both sell services for money that are (generally speaking) frowned upon because they should not be bought and sold because reasons.

Grats choosing the one that relies on emasculation and casual misogyny.

On second thought, I can see how stroking off people's brands or w/e to boost their ego has made you feel like more of a whore than a mercenary.

Yeah, you just picked "mercenary" because it sounds cooler and makes you feel better, "mentat".
But hey, let me know if you need me to hold that ladder so you don't fall off that high horse.

[Kara]

Yes I chose a word that means "working or acting merely for money or other reward; venal" because it makes me sound cooler.

You can call shit feces all you like, doesn't change the fact you're in the same shit as me.

[Kara]

A point I did not disagree with?

I'm glad we agree that I agreed that we both sell our services for (more or less) money alone.

[I'm a Puppy!]

Let's be shitty together!

[I'm a Puppy!]

I know it's one of the smaller annoyances from the Fox News/Republican messaging about worshipping "job creators" is this idea that anyone can do it.
I had a college kid come to me and ask me to teach them how to be an entrepreneur. I was like "Dude, I can teach you how to run a business or make it better. But I can't teach you to be an entrepreneur. They're born, not made."

The kid was pissed and thought I was holding out on him. He didn't get it.

And by born I mean born with a trust fund

for the record it's not life threatening, I'll be fine. If anything it's relationship threatening though, trying to stay calm and let things play out.

[Madrun Badrun]

I know it destroys the velvety texture of a BBC, but you should have insisted that they wrapped them before down lowing it, PD.  SMH. 

[Kara]

Happy it's not (termination of) life threatening, PD. Still sounds like it could be a pain, so still sending positive vibes.

For tax purposes they really fuck you over if you have to repay any excess unemployment insurance benefits. Unless you repaid the benefits in the year you received them you can only take the amount paid as a deduction on Schedule A and itemizing isn't even a guaranteed situation for the unemployed.

And if that wasn't bad enough, it's subject to the 2% AGI floor on Schedule A.

Glad I don't often slum it in the W-2 / 1099-INT / 1099-G only demo very often, I'd probably go and become a Naxalite or something.

Looks like I'm headed back to startup culture. 12 hour work days, ramen for dinner, extensive last minute travel, fomenting hatred for coworkers born out of intense proximity and familiarity, the crushing weight of impending failure at every juncture, an emptied savings account...

tbh I'm just happy to be working on something I believe in and have a passion for. Increasing marketing efficiencies so a soulless corporate entity can effectively squeeze each and every last dime out of customers is draining. Pays the rent on time, but draining.

“Then there's amortization,

I know in the actual Russian it's amortization even though it's sometimes translated as depreciation but I feel like a heart should be depreciated instead of amortized.

Date night at my place tonight and Tokyo drift is on IFC and Sung Kang is SO, so sexy. we are both fan girling over him right now. So. SEXY.

Manly sorta pretty but highly well groomed asian man

[toku]

I think the most attractive thing about Sung Kang in TD and the FF series is his attitude more than anything.

[Himu]

He's the best character in the series

[Himu]

How is this man not starring in roles left and right?

[Madrun Badrun]

He's Asian, that's how. 

[Himu]

[Himu]

TD is still my fave FF movie

[toku]

TD is still my fave FF movie

I'm huge fan of the series and I not only endorse this opinion but think it's the correct one.

[Himu]

If Han is alive in FF7 im going to scream in the theatre

[toku]

I might scream too tbh.

[Himu]

DON'T CARE

#TeamTokyoDrift here too.

Last night I went to the other prominent "dive" bar that happens to be 2 doors down from the other prominent "dive" bar in the area. (Zoning, it's so convenient friends.) Our bartender was horrible (took my card and opened a tab for my friend and me when we wanted separate tabs, which tbh happens a lot when we go out because people assume a guy and a gal hanging out in a bar are on a date, then proceeded to not split our subsequent drink orders up between our cards but put them all on my confederate's card) and bartender-looking-for-tips-flirty all night. At least she kept falling out of her dress despite not really having a phenotype where poor fitting clothing would be #struggle.

She had this really loud and obnoxious laugh that drove my friend up the wall to the point of habitually mentioning it so as a joke I wrote "Love your laugh!" at the top of my receipt when we closed out but my fucking friend dicked around at the bar instead of joining me in making a bee line for the exit and I had to watch the bartender try and make sense of my drunken chicken scratch as a result. I hate it when you can't pretend you didn't actually take the L y'all. How am I going to be able to look this bartender in the face now when I go to the 6:00 am happy hour this place has on the weekends? I'm sure the ridiculously high percentage tip I left will smooth over any misgivings.

When I came home at whatever godawful hour it was the commune was passed out in the living room with the front door open. For the length of my exile here I don't think I'll ever be leaving my bedroom door unlocked. As I write this they just now came to and went to their rooms. (It's 0845.)

Though entirely age inappropriate (over drinks we discussed how neither of us want to end up like the commune, 30 somethings who are essentially directionless in life and live like they're in the dorms still), it feels good to once again allow the worser half of my psyche to subsume the rest of it. No more #dualities, no more #struggle, only unmitigated dipshit, which as far as I'm concerned is the real me.

When I told my therapist I was going to sign this armistice with myself (no crazy), they were troubled and asked that I give them a fair shot at healing me of this gestalt of maladaptive behaviors instead of surrendering to it. I have no intention of resisting their process, but I am confident that it will be the psychological equivalent of trench warfare.

So ends this episode of the Sorrows of Young Werthless.

I would enjoy an erotic post from you. Your perspective and diction describing a sexual act seems like it would be most amusing.

Beneath the form would be content that--if you made the mistake of contemplating it of course--would make you feel some amalgamation of acute pity and revulsion.

I'm lucky that I've never undergone Freudian psychoanalysis and have too many obvious surface problems for those of a different school to ever even try and delve into my sexuality before going fgsfds.

Fast and the Furious is a third rate Point Break that somehow launched an IP that outlasted the literal life of one of its principal actors, why the heck should I care if one is of a lesser quality than another or the medium in which it was initially released?

Y'all have spent to long amongst the elements of society that think kitsch is anything but and lost your grasp of what we might colloquially call "the point."
