My point is you can’t know.

Our entire justice system is predicated upon the basis that we must know for certain. For certain. Not one single doubt.

It’s not perfect but it’s the best we have ever had. Ever. In the history of the world. And it’s exact antithesis is vigilante justice.

That’s not at all what I saw.

I saw fat white guys driving the most aggressively.

Been there. Those are bad.

Lafayette is worse in terms of sheer disregard and stupidity.

They can but science has shown men biologically aren’t made for it and are rather terrible at it add this that at super high rates women file for divorce when they make more money than the man.

What a cop out.

How do you deal with the fact that any day could be your last day on Earth?

Poorly.

Nah, I remember the very first time it hit me that I was mortal. I was 19. From there my health anxiety was through the roof, I’d say until about 2020. A good decade of my life ruined.

I deal with it now by trying to be grateful every day I’m alive.

When it’s a nice day I take a walk and think “isn’t it nice I’m not in prison. Do you know what some of those people would give to be in my shoes right now?”

That sort of thing. It works. Just feel the wind. Know you’re alive. There’s nothing better as long as you accept that moment.

I stopped into Walmart to pick something up for my wife and only the self checkout was open, I was cooking gumbo that day so I figured I'd just get the produce stuff there. While doing the self checkout the machine stopped and wanted an attendant to come over, he comes over, ask what he can help with, I tell him no clue, the machine did it, turns out the overhead camera thought I'd put 5 bell peppers in my bag, even though I only had 4, and put 4 into the quantity.

I rarely shop at Walmart, limited almost exclusively to "I can't get this anywhere else and I need it right now". But if this ever happens to me, I will find it easy to never step foot in their stores again.

The system of unlimited transfers will hurt more than it helps, like telling kids they can just skip the school lunch line and opt for unlimited soft serve ice cream. There is a better way, and one in the interest of most athletes, but the system is currently stuck on giving them absolute freedom to do anything.

The system of unlimited transfers has done far more good than harm for these kids. Tyler Shough might have gone undrafted without the portal. Jayden Daniels won a Heisman because of the portal. Beck would be benched at UGA, Pavia, Mendoza, all these guys are nothing without the portal and NIL.

Cut the bull. If you're worried about the student athlete's future success, don't put them in pads and have them batter one another until they have brain damage.

The transferring to 6 different schools is a TJ Finley problem. And I feel bad for him. But that's something that he's going to have to learn himself.

Is this clown around 26 years old by now?

He's 23.

The reality is the transfer portal and NIL is what has given us Texas Tech and Indiana in the top 4.

These are good things for CFB.

A lot of yall don't like it because it's been beaten into your head that staying loyal to a place that has no loyalty to you (whether that's work, school of family) is somehow a virtue. Yall get jealous that 18-24 year olds have more mobility and opportunity, despite it being objectively good for everyone involved.

There's no virtue in remaining somewhere you don't want to be when it doesn't suit your interest long-term. You can disagree that he's doing the right thing for himself long-term, but to say there's a flaw in the system is nothing more than not thinking critically about it.

Accounting firms.

Not mid management. Like I said, leadership positions. Like at the top. And there may be a young manager who is ready to step into that same leadership position, albeit a bit junior. However the younger person has a vastly different idea of doing things and the top guy won’t fricking leave because he sees the younger person as not ready, when the reality is the philosophies are diametrically opposed. So he hangs on. When in reality the world has passed him by.

This is actually not me. I’m not in that position. But I’ve seen it happen and talked to people who have seen it happen.

I don’t know you, but the boomers that I have worked with are woefully unprepared to hear that the next generation is about to do everything almost the opposite of how they did it. And then they chalk this up to “not ready to take over” when the reality is they are running good people off.
