Counterpoint: it’s only “mandatory and weighted” when they grow older because the schools make it that. If I recall the studies I’ve seen correctly (admittedly only abstracts and articles like this), they say that older children benefit from learning how to do longer projects outside of class, but otherwise math…

If you are friends or even worse, dating someone who refuses to acknowledge your thoughts, the only answer is you shouldn’t be friends or dating this person. you don’t have to be friends with everyone, not everyone has to like you. Cut out negativity in your life. Even if it’s family.

I’m sensing a pattern here.

If enough of us vote CP it could cause a market shift towards more affordable used Porsches. 

Can they just hold it at Road Atlanta, or Watkins Glen, or Barber, or Mid-Ohio, or VIR, or anywhere but another shitty Tilkedrome street circuit?

Unfortunately I’ll be unable to watch as Alex Roy is the ultimate (or perhaps the Apex) in insufferable douchebaggery and there’s no way I could stomach 90+ minutes of him.
