That team struggled, but still had a few games where they showed sparks (Florida, Ole Miss, aTm bowl game)

Les was good for a handful of trick plays a season usually against Florida

Offense at least ate clock and shorten games which is better than can be said for Sloans

I’m almost starting to believe that this is the ultimate goal of the people making these decisions. Force people to constantly move so they can never have roots in any one spot and develop a local culture and community.

One nice thing about the interest rate whiplash is that there has been nearly zero turnover in my neighborhood. Despite it all being 3/2 starter ranches and nearly everyone having at least 2 kids since 2020.

Little economical forced community, it’s good for the kids

Expectations have risen. No one wants a 1400 square foot house with window units. Because of that, the average house now has amenities that were true luxuries 30 or 40 years ago.

---

A window unit is cheaper today, not adjusted for inflation, than it was in the 70s and 80s.

Central air was $2000-$5000 install in the 80s. No one is going to build a house without central air in the south because it wouldn’t sell

Appliances and tv simply aren’t the luxury purchase they used to be

The middle class is shrinking because the upper class is growing. What is also growing is the expectations of Americans as to what they are entitled to have. The typical lower middle class household is filled with luxuries that the same family couldn't dream of 40 years ago (and I'm not talking about just tech).

$126,038k household income is not upper class, that is less than what two teachers make

That’s what I was thinking. Mexicans ain’t got time for that shite. I saw a crew of 5 put together a prefab barn years ago and I think it took them all of 30 minutes from start to finish.

My tree guy is or at least was pre Trump cheap as hell and would have 4 dudes climbing like monkeys up the tree

It was honestly impressive how fast they got rid of my dead water oak

You want the right kind of people to have 7 kids but don’t have clue how expensive it is to have a kid these days


Cost me $7k just to get the baby out of my wife

I'm not gonna argue a couple inches as if it makes a difference. He looks to be cowering in the shot you are talking. Irrelevant, he's a teenager

he's 12 per the news so no but close enough.

A 44-year-old former Mobile teacher was arrested and fired after a disturbing video went viral showing a woman allegedly hitting a child more than 20 times with a belt.

Nicole Staples was released from Metro Jail Wednesday evening and captured on video bolting straight onto a golf cart after posting a $7,500 bond.

Staples was arrested Wednesday afternoon and charged with willful abuse of a child under 18 after the video circulated on social media.

Her son Jackson Staples who no longer lives at home, said he received the video Tuesday and was alarmed.

“I didn’t feel like, you know, she should be working at the school or even doing that to my little brothers. You know, she done it to me my whole life, so I’m 24,” Jackson Staples said.

Jackson said the incident appeared to start because his younger brother had not completed his chores.

“Something about he wasn’t clearing the kitchen like he was supposed to be, he left, went to the neighbor’s house, come back and then it transpired into that,” he said.

so she had a kid at 20, and at least two more by 44. She is just poor white trash doing poor white trash behavior

The kid is taller than her

she is 5'2 and has several inches on him, as seen by her holding his hair up and leaning down to yell at him

I used to have to pick my own switch.

Which was 99% of the discipline. Going to get to it and thinking about the punishment
