Yeah it’s terrifying that the psychology is so down to a science like that. I’d rather just waste the money killing my brain with beer.

My sister’s kid would go a week a time holding it in. That stuff was dark matter by the end.

In regards to Fantasy Football, I’d rather just relax and watch the real thing with nothing on the line. If I’m going to pretend I’m a winner for while statistically losing money, I’ll just drink a lot of my homemade beer instead.

Well yeah they definitely are having fun, and it’s basically the perfect father-son situation that lots of people would like to emulate.

Well it would be the case if I didn’t do something about it later in life. That’s that whole “I started building motorcycles after moving out in college” thing.

They literally could have had the dad say “In truth, I’m paying for it all, and I had to teach him everything, and I’m doing a lot of the work, but he’s learned a lot here and I think he’s really promising.”

It seems like you’re feigning incredulity here and severely misinterpreting what I wrote. Whatever you’re replying to probably needs quotation now. If you do that, you might figure out what you “don’t even” about is not what I actually wrote.

See, you did it again.

Seems like a pretty brilliant heads up prank he pulled.

“Just seemed like you wanted to make a fairly nice story about you.”

You get a star for the lolz

Yeah we all come from our own experiences as a baseline. Having a roof over your head makes that seem like a given, when other kids have it way worse off.

That’s a damn solid point there.

Depends on if I’m the devil.

I’m shitting on the story, not the kid. The words were pretty clear.

Apparently my devil’s advocate post that went the other way didn’t get as much airplay in this same thread.

Your post is basically standing up for Donald Trump because the poor kid is just “butthurt” and we should all give the extremely lucky kid yet another break.

BTW I hate that the video doesn’t bother pointing out the obvious in sugarcoating “he built it” that his dad paid for everything and his dad very likely helped an awful lot. I’d have loved to have had a dad who had his own shop and bought me a motorcycle when I was f’ing 12 years old and gave me money to modify it and…

I imagine that’s exactly what I’ll do at a certain point, as opposed to my dad telling me “you can never ever have a motorcycle” (which of course made me buy a motorcycle).

I feel 100% the same way. I loved the first one and was horrified by the second one, and I don’t think any of the others from the other companies came close to the combo of light weight, practicality, and just massive cargo room. Just an amazing vehicle, absolutely ruined by the second generation.
