I thought he died; but it looks like just bumming heavy.

Until he passed earlier this year, I still trotted out “Fire Millen” whenever I could.

I’ve always been an early riser. It’s great on the weekdays because my wife is not a morning person and I can get the kids off to school without having to bother her.

Larry King was doing it for decades before any of those guys.  He wasn’t so much as edgy as clueless.

Thanks, I was trying to say the athletes didn’t go to the White House, not Mar-A-Lago. Although, I would imagine the Venn diagram of those groups not attending both would be 2 overlapping circles.

By going, you’re tacitly supporting his stance. He’s clearly anti-LGBTQ, so it would fly in the face of everything Rapinoe stands for. It’s the same with a lot of minority athletes; Trump only cares about POCs as long as they are serving him drinks at Mar-A-Lago. That’s why athletes that have won the Superbowl & NBA…

So sticking with abortion, it’s anyone, any where, any time, for any reason otherwise someone if forcing their will on you? That’s the only position you’re willing to hear?

Nice assumption, but no. Trump is a threat to democracy and a stable world. I didn’t vote for him before and won’t again. My local Representative is a coward, a huckster, and a Republican. I didn’t vote for him before and won’t again.

I’m largely the token conservative around these parts. I grew up in a very white, very conservative, fairly Catholic community. I’ve identified as a Republican for most of my life, aligning with their views on 2A, business growth=prosperity for all, and a strong military. I do have disagreements with the Party - I’m…

Not just North Carolina, but Texas, Alabama, Georgia, and maybe Michigan or Ohio could force the NCAA’s hand. You can’t have the PAC 10, SEC, or Big 10 without those states for either football or basketball.

When we started the GWOT, I would have liked to see us go on full wartime footing. Draft, rationing, victory gardens...the whole works. I think part of the reason these conflicts have been going on so long is only 2-3% of the country is directly affected in relation to soldiers & their immediate family. When Meatless…

I’m looking at it through a lens of past world wars. Instead of the millions killed/ displaced in WWI & WWII there’s “only” been hundreds of thousands. It’s still an awful number, especially considering how ill advised Iraq was.

It absolutely does, that’s why I made sure to mention civilian casualties in the OP. The US media goes out of it’s way to not mention “collateral damage” but the figures are out there and they’re frightening. With the push button wars we can wage, it’s just too easy to write off the incidentals when we want to bomb an…

I say this as a former Army officer, but war is too cheap now. With drones, cruise missiles, and near impenetrable tanks, it’s just dollars down the hole. As Robert E. Lee said “It is well that war is so terrible, otherwise we should grow too fond of it.” We’ve made war cheap and cheapened lives in the end.

ATL LOLZ FTW

I totally dropped the ball on this. With our first one, we let her sleep with us a couple times, and it turned into nearly 3 years of co-sleeping. It was the worst. She would wear disney princess dresses all the time, even to sleep. Taffeta is hot as hell in the summer. When we found out we were having another, we…

False - rollercoasters are actually the safest means of mass transit.  There were 500 fatalities associated with airplanes in 2018, vs 25 through 1972-1997.

Part of it is the old saw that politics stop at the water’s edge. While Ds & Rs may be at each other’s throats in DC, when they’re abroad they’re all American and put on a unified front.

How is Johnny Depp not on this list? Dude stopped acting after Edward Scissorhands and is just varying levels of over the top.  He may have acted at some point in the past, but now he’s just the same eccentric person in every movie. 

Not only should you resign cordially and professionally, you should have a transition plan ready to go. Make sure it details all your open projects & status, all important internal and external customer/ supplier contacts, and any lingering issues that you won’t be able to close in your notice window. This will help…
