That is actually a crazy good deal. A builder trade spec house costs about $175 per square foot to build these days. That house would probably cost $500-600 per square foot new with the ultra high end finishes and huge ceilings

While this would directly benefit me, I don’t think this is the right move. We need all the help we can get to pay down our current debts. Let’s talk about cutting taxes after we get in the black

We haven’t seen an Austrian this mad in about 80 years

I hate flying spirit but sometimes the deals are too good to pass up. Going from Dallas to Vegas next week for $65 round trip. No wonder they are bankrupt

Also, as a poster already said anything to make them think you might have a gun is enticing. Particularly if you have gun themed stickers on your car.

I had a pistol stolen out of a truck 7 years ago and learned my lesson. I have no stickers and nothing valuable in the vehicle whatsoever. This truck is so new it still has dealer plates :lol:

These are copes to deal with the fact that they can’t afford to have kids or can’t find a partner worth marrying.

Sadly there is some truth to this. I am 33 and have plenty of friends who say they don't want to get married but deep down I think most of them have just accepted the fact that it's not likely to happen. It's easier to say you don't want it than admitting that it is likely not possible

As an LSU fan, the past few seasons have not felt the same. While I still watch most LSU games, I am no longer excited to watch the Tigers take the field like I used to be. On three separate occasions this year I chose not to watch LSU becasue there were seemingly better things to do - a thought that would not have crossed my mind only a few years ago

I still love our school and team but it's very hard to be as devoted and excited about a team that is comprised of 50% mercenaries chasing the dollar more than a championship. 18 year old kids are begging for money and holding fanbases hostage with threat of transfer or decommitment until they get it. We need to continue to raise hell over this until the NCAA and congress hear our voices and make changes to the law that bring the term student back to student athlete. It's terrible watching this great sport turn into a pro league but if enough people speak out we may be able to stop this progression before it's too late

Sporting events are no longer affordable for ordinary people. Look at every championship event in pro sports. It's a celebrity event.

Agreed. Even at LSU, it will cost a regular family of 4 almost $1000 to attend one game when you factor everything in. Asking these same families to donate $50 a month so an 18 year old kid can drive a Mercedes is the real outrage here. We already give them scholarships, books, meal plans, dorm rooms, training rooms, etc. I'm getting to the point where I have absolutely no sympathy for these kids asking for money and I think many feel the same

“Demanding” Name, image, likeness money is a funny notion considering that if a players value is actually legit they would be getting those advertising dollars organically. This just signifies how much of a joke “NIL” is

We went shopping for our group of 20 people and spent $575 on ingredients for everything including soft drinks. We will definitely have leftovers but $58 is a joke
