Don’t you think part of that weakness comes from the fact that you are barred from making money in what is really your “prime” years.... college? And therefore your short window to make money makes you weak and makes those at the top desperate not to give away what they have earned.

YES!! I was surprised at how good this was! Especially when they interview the old anthropologist(?) lady and show the old photos of the valley they studied in the 70s before it was flooded.....

Although I don’t disagree with your point, I think your analogy is missing a factor in this instance (of which you are responding to). It’s more like the person being pushed is a thrill seeker who loves the idea/danger/thrill of being pushed down the stairs..... and knowing full well that not only could this very…

This is true, and that’s the point of the article. It wasn’t written for those who have no problem going past 2 drinks. if this offends you, you’re either worried you may have a drinking problem, or you think someone trying to keep their alcohol consumption low is a projection onto you.

Or....OR, it’s an article not meant for those who want to have more than 2 drinks but find it hard to stop at two because their dick head friends get all offended and pushy when they tell them, “I’m pacing myself”. mostly because for some reason those friends thinks it’s some sort of judgement towards them if you…

It’s comments like theses that make it hard to stop for the people who have a problem. You knew the article wasn’t for you, yet you feel like you are being treated like a pariah. I know that feeling.... I have a problem.

Christ, this is oddly specific.

Oh, you know Jessica and Tim as well, ha?

This is a good point that tacks on to what I have been replying with..... not only are the job opportunities low, but they don’t get paid in college during what should be their early money-making years. When they finally get to the pros, they also have on average only 3 years to make anything off of the skill they…

And their weakness comes largely from the fact that the NCAA doesn’t pay them when they are in college during their arguably most effective years. Leaves no leverage when they only have an average of 3 years to make money off of this skill they have worked their entire life to perfect. They are not allowed to skip…

The reason is actually in big part the NCAA.  The NCAA doesn’t pay players - since players don’t get paid in what is essentially a very lucrative minor leagues for the NFL, they spend most of their prime and formative years playing for free and risking everything. When they finally make it to the NFL, they have on…

I’ve gone to the triple divide, but can’t remember the trail name.

How has NO ONE suggested Goldust’s “Shattered Dreams”?

Seconds, not minutes right?

Jesus, I must be the only person who makes, and loves zucchini noodles.

Oh, hey Phil! I was there during that time as well! Wasnt it fun to take advantage of all the price hikes so all the new buildings could be finished right when you leave?

Endangering the welfare of a minor.... get it? GET IT?!

Holy crap #2 and #4 hit so close to home for me you have no idea. I haven’t gotten to any point of wanting a divorce, but I’m 31 with 2 kids and despise what I have become. I used to be so intent on optimism and despised cynicism... and now here I am. Anxiety attacks, HATE what I do, and I’m almost willing to give up…

Why does every one of his fingers look like a pinky?
