re: Why do they play so late?

Depends on the person.

Generally, enough to where your body doesn’t feel the need to shut down during the day.

I don't need to nap.

I get the correct amount of sleep.

Why do they play so late?

I wish they did not.

My mother died at 85 after a prolonged illness. My dad is 90 and in poor health. From my perspective, an extended longevity is not a desirable outcome.


The extension is so you push everything back.

My dad never exercised. Ever. I feel a lot better at 33 than he did.

The end is going to be painful. There's no way around it. But I'll take feeling 15% better throughout my entire life.

It's not just about extending life. Have you ever buckled down, ate clean, and exercised for a couple of months? I'm sure you have. It feels fricking amazing.
Because you frickers won’t stop blocking the sidewalk.

It’s more dangerous to weave on and off the sidewalk than to assert yourself in one spot.

Dying in a plane crash would be one of the coolest ways to go.

That guy that got sucked into the engine? I mean, it'd be horrible, but it'd be over pretty quickly. And your story is you got sucked into an engine. In 100 years when everyone you love is dead and gone and there's a news clip about a guy getting sucked into an engine, that's a legacy.

its also the privilege of the rest of the student body to tell her to shut the frick up too. not a thing the school can do about it.


Totally agree. 100%

The valedictorian has the microphone, though.
If they've earned the honor to speak as valedictorian it's their privilege to direct their speech in whichever way they see fit.

A lot of these guys idolized 2019 LSU growing up.

For us it was 6-7 years ago and seems like not long ago.

For a 21 year old on Indiana they were 14. Probably seems like their childhood.
I worked remote for the first 2.5 years of my “career”.

This was after 10 years of manual labor jobs. So I’d been in a work setting before, but never an office on a day to day basis.

It’s a tough adjustment. It’s just hard to block out the noise of coworkers and actually focus. At your house you can literally sit there and not have anything disrupt your peripheral. In an office it’s every 10 minutes unless you’re insanely focused on something.

Also, it’s made me realize that I just don’t care to talk to people. There’s some benefit in it, but the shite people want to talk about makes me want to rip my eyeballs out.

There’s also the etiquette adjustment. I have to suppress burps now. Which I don’t have an issue or anything so it’s not a big deal but just little stuff like that you don’t think of.

I will say that being in office you learn a lot more just based on talking to people.

The long commute is the real killer. Especially if you’re actually busy. Because the commute the isn’t just taking up your free time. It’s putting you behind on work. 1-1.5 hours everyday that you could be using to get shite done is out the window. Probably another .5-1 hour as well due to the settling down and ramping back up. It’s actually not productive.

It’s a tough adjustment though.

38% don't cook at home, even breakfast?


I think it can be a time thing.

Up at 6, 30 minutes to get dressed, coffee, etc. 45 minute commute, get to the office around 715ish, settle in start work around 730. If you're salary maybe there's a fire or something and you stay until 6-7ish. Drive home 3-45 minutes. By then it's nearly 8, you're tired, etc. You just pick something up.

Another fire, you spend Saturday on and off working while trying to do other chores. Tired, order out or go out to eat. Sunday maybe you cook.

Also for single people you have to think the gap between eating out and home cooking gets a little thinner. Especially if you don't like cooking. You can grab some yogurt or something, for lunch grab a sandwich, dinner maybe a burrito. Frees up your time for things you might want to do.

Doesn't seem like the best choice, but I understand it.
This is true.

It's not easy and it requires a lot of luck and hard work, but people do it. There are even more people who try to do it and fail. The odds aren't in your favor.

But it does happen, and there's nothing stopping you, particularly in this country.
quote:

We've been told that two days a week to ourselves is acceptable, and we squeeze household chores like laundry, errands, cutting the grass into these two days. We work around kid's sports, our own "down" time, and trying to make time for aging parents into these two days, and the evening before returning to work we're exhausted more than we are on worknights. Then we do it all again bright and early the following morning.


Look, I don't like the way the system is set up, but nobody "told" us to do this. It's just that there's an agreed upon time of the day that's used for work. If you want a normal, generally low stress job, that's when you work.

You have every opportunity go do something else. There are plenty of jobs where you can have more than that to yourself. You can work as a paramedic/emt/firefighter and work 24 hour shifts and have 4 days off.

You can work night shift jobs.

You can start your own business and work 3 days a week and not make as much money. You can reduce expenses and ride a bike. You can leave the country if you have the right skills.

I think the in general the system is bullshite, but there isn't some demonic presence lording over you controlling you. I don't think there's any virtue or point to being a victim like this. That's not to say to "pull yourself up". It's harder now than it has been, I agree with that, but what is the point of toiling in misery like this? The world is what it is, if you want to change it get into politics.

There may be a group of elite who generally sit at the top, but they are doing what they are doing to keep themselves rich, and the result of that is the system. It is not a setup of the system to keep others down so that those people can stay rich. It's the result, not the input.
quote:

What lasting subconscious effect is a video of a land whale wrasslin with a dog going to have?


Woman being shown is identifying as a dog. Which group is said to identify as things other than who they are? The left. This lady is on the left. Look at how gross she is. Leftists are gross. Look, she's being attacked, well maybe if she didn't pretend to be a dog she wouldn't be attacked. Democrats are dumb.

The same shite happens with AI videos of right-wing people being shown to be aggressive.

Whether you like it or not, this stuff sticks with you.
quote:

Yea, people fall for AI slop.


I guess I just didn't realize the willingness people had to accept things at face value.

It's scary because the video is short and you'll forget about it, but it can have a lasting subconscious effect.
quote:

probably because it's believable in the world in which we live.


You see a lot of grown women barking at storefronts?
Hey everyone, that's not a real video.

Some of you seem to think it's real, which is worrisome.

Go frame by frame. Look at her right arm. Think about the situation, why is there a camera at that angle? What is it on? She's actively being mauled, and the man asks "are you alright" to which she straightens up, still being mauled, and drops her tone and says that she thinks so. A peculiar reaction, I'd say.

Try to read the windows. What are they selling?

Weird sign in the background. Looks like it goes literally into the store front.

I'm only making this thread because I actually think it might help someone who thought that was real to second guess videos they are seeing.

Edit - Lot of folks below mad they got duped.

Lot of EBR Parish education showing colors in here.
This is fricking nuts.

I know AI has gotten better, but this is still clearly not real.

And they genuinely believe that this is a real video.
......................

This is AI.

Is it not that obvious to yall?

We're fricked.
