I'd say you're grasping at straws trying to make a stupid point. I've discussed her without going out of my way to be like Captain America.



Now if my posts in this thread only said "I definitely know who this person is," you might have a point


Now you've definitely gone out of your way, guy. Don’t get your panties in a wad. My apologies for this. It's just conversation, carry on.

Several of the first posts are a version of "who?"

And it happens in pretty much every thread about a popular person


How is that going out of their way? These threads are sort of like a conversation in a group setting.

One guy says check out this photo some chick is using for her new album.
You get a couple guys saying they don't know who she is, some that do know who she is and discuss the music, some say they'd like to know who she is and bang her, etc. Then there's the guy who finds it funny that some guys "go out of their way" to say they don't know she is. I'm the guy that finds it funny to think that's going out of someone's way. They didn't call all their buddies to get online and vouch for them that they don't know who she is. They just said "who?"

Has anyone done this?


Not exactly, but no one has done this either....

That goes two ways. Posters trying to convince people they definitely know who this is, because she's famous/popular is funny to me.

Even if you have heard her songs, unknowingly, it doesn't mean you know who she is. OP could have made up a name for the picture and I wouldn't have known differently.

Brah, you were relying on your in-laws hand-me-down until y’all broke that one too.

Get a minivan, it’s the most efficient option.

I had Mrs Füt (no pics) in one for six years, though it was new and back when Nissan was a good option. It gave us great service.


This is the answer. Had my wife in a dodge caravan for 6 years or so. It was a fully loaded GT model, slightly used still with plenty of warranty at the time for around 30k or a little less maybe.
The point I am trying to add to here is that OP could get a damn near brand new model of minivan for his price range. Once you own it and drive around, you get over your pride quick. I never gave a shite in the first place, but my preference is purpose and function within my means, not how you think you look.

quote:

Back in/back out, what’s the difference? Still have to back out either way.


It really depends on the vehicle and the purpose of why you are wherever you are, as to parking forwards or backwards.
You are correct though, in a busy parking lot, forward parkers generally waste more time overall when including the departure. Bitching about people backing in, then proceed to ignore that it takes them longer when backing out because they can't see shite.
All that said, if you can't back in worth a shite, don't. Minus the additional time it takes to travel past the spot, I can back my truck in just as fast as most people pull in forward, and won't require any correction like forward parking in a tight lot. Some lots are so tight that it is impossible to perfectly park going forward in a truck, without having to adjust.
quote:

We have to wait for you to back in when you could just quickly pull In.


I don't give a shite if you have to wait 5 extra seconds for me to back in. Meanwhile, your clearly impatient arse, will whip right in, park all fricked up so no one can even utilize the spot next to you. Now they have to search for another spot. Who's the bigger inconvenience here? Go through any parking lot and at least half the forward parked cars are shite park jobs. The backed in park jobs are probably around 90% plus perfectly parked.

Dudes probably living it pretty good up in there. frick a big arse house and being house poor.


This. Just sold the big arse house to live in a big arse double wide we already had as a rental for a while. We remodeled it back to better than brand new condition a while back. Now there's no house payment and plenty of money to work on other investments, plus do some more traveling and just living life.

We'll buy another house down the road, once we get more important goals underway.

trashy really depends on what is included for beer. Is that only bud light, or do they have actual beer?

Graduating HS is a pretty minimum achievement. It’s said people feel the need to celebrate that much for it.


It is minimum, but if you're not going to celebrate a little, why even go? You just want to sit in silence, listen to some boring speeches, then remain in silence as they just read off names and have them walk across the stage? Why even bother, if that's all it is?

No elaboration needed. Asked to hold applause and ignored. Celebrate if you must but don’t ruin it for the family whose kid is next. Just be civil, if you must scream Shamikas name then time it so you don’t cover up the next kids name.


So you must have been at a smaller ceremony, if you couldn't hear the speaker over the screaming. It doesn't really make a difference at a big venue, but I agree it should only be a quick shout/cheer, then stfu for the next kid. I prefer a brief cheer for each kid over a boring monotone announce every name in quietness, then everyone cheer. It's each kid's moment for a brief second, let them get cheered on and celebrated for their accomplishment, while on a stage in front of a crowd. The excessive drawing it out for 30 seconds plus is ridiculous though.

I don't think it needs to be excessive, but do you want it to just be quiet?

Was just at one in the cajun dome. It was loud, plenty of noise made for almost every name called, and never had a problem hearing anything said over the speaker.
People have always made noise at graduations and they always will. You must have been at a small ceremony with someone just ridiculously loud or something, to have started a thread about it. Maybe you can elaborate more.

what do you mean a final decision? PSLF has never changed and is still active.
They're scrutinizing to make sure people are working for legitimate organizations/companies/agencies, but nothing has changed about it.

Because they’re too long. I don’t like 1980s short shorts, but I want them hitting above my knees.

To answer the OP I own zero cargo shorts or pants.


All I own are cargo shorts, all hit above the knees, none of them have the extra large pockets, but I use the pockets almost every time I wear them. A couple pairs feel way to short and I rarely wear them (at least six inches of thigh showing standing up).

Yikes. There are levels of, you know, materiality etc. to consider. Also, process and procedure. Could be costing the institution a lot of money just doing the my way or the high way thing.


That kind of thing primarily happens at low level jobs, grunt work, entry positions, etc...where it really is best to just do it the best way known, which the boss knows.
Mid level on up, that doesn't really happen, not in successful operations.

a vetted isn't really catching anyone's attention. If those stand out as flashy, you probably are broke as shite and jealous. Around Lafayette area, they seem to be almost as common as camaros and mustangs.
one of my great grandmothers went back to get her highschool diploma at 92 years old. I wasn't there, but know she actually attended classes to complete whatever she was missing. I'm sure it wasn't a perfect line up or credit, but there was effort made and a legitimate grade given.
