True Story, when I first read about the tweet this morning, I shuffled it into my mental box of “most likely fake news someone made up to make the VP look even worse, no way did he actually say that”.

Then I found out this was real life. I just can’t. I need to go get some Jesus...

...typical black twitter, using comedy and sass as a coping mechanism for what’s going on. I can’t honestly tell if its a good thing to get some laughs off to feel better about the situation, or if its really a bad thing as it hides exactly HOW bad things are and are going...like are they going to cancel February…

Nah, tricking doesn’t work, at that point you have to understand that the fight just isn’t worth it...roll your eyes and go about your day.

always always always when engaging in an argument, stop looking at it from your view, do a 180 and look through their view. That’s been a strat of mine since high school. Why? Not only does it help with trying to break thing down in a palatable way for whom you are talking to, but lets cut the self-centered crap,…

Yeah this past Sunday I stepped outside while talking to a friend and realized, its almost time to start working...

I “think/feel” the decision starts with the initial split of “quality of life” - are you managing it well while paying off the debt, or are you suffering so much from the debt that pulling out of debt IS about quality of life.

#1 is IMO the strongest one. My perspective may be skewed as I am functioning as a scheduler right now so balancing resources IS a large part of my job, but moderate to good supervisors do understand what is reasonable. When an employee says they have no problem doing something, but they are currently working on…

I to this date debate my car purchase. I LOVE my car (Acura TL 10'), but I think about the circumstances of its purchase, and how life played out shortly after. My car at the time was in need of serious work, to the tune of 3-4k (05 Murano) - none of which was drive train related, and my transmission had issues as…

Yeah, my typical rule of thumb is to follow the manufacture’s roadmap to the end, then root/customize - so if this IS the end, then I’ll finally start looking into rooting. I’d much prefer a new Note, but between the 5 taking things away, and the 7 not allowed on airplanes....yyyeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh…

The one thing missing from the article - you brought up - and that’s the demonization of Malcolm X and other more extreme, less “friendly” members of the Civil Rights movement. MLK gets accolades - he’s been turned into a black carebear - as if things were just handed to him because he said “Please, lets hold hands”,…

I think you could distill this down to “White Guilt”. That guilt has built up fear. that fear incites violence.

When my wife and I were dating back in high school and even some post college, she did some things to me that were flat out “wrong”. Because of her actions then, she ALWAYS has this innate fear that one…

So if I have a Note 4, does that mean they are done providing updates for me?

What speaks to me more than anything is that, while I’m not leaping for her to run for a political position - I WANT her to stay in the spotlight. I don’t want her to fade away into a book or some forgotten piece of history. My daughter (mixed) is about to turn 2, I want HER to know who she is. I want my daughter…

The second I saw the sass start to force her lip to want to curl up...I knew it was real spit. This isn’t some shallow “Party-lines” disgust, this is from the heart disgust, like Trump hanging from a cliff or a chicago style hot dog from sonics cooling off, what are you going to do first, she’s going to eat that Hot…

the irony, this is exactly what we started talking about last night. Our bill with TWC is over $100 - and that is JUST internet. I don’t torrent like I used to, and our wifi is more a bottleneck than our cable connection. with us being tight on the budget for the next few months, I’m ready to drop that internet…

That vid, ‘almost’ falls into the “satisfying to watch” category. I can’t tell how much of that was my awe at the method or what.

Lack of Clear Career Development- this this this. This was my issue on my current situation. I’ve had to start turning away all the offers that come my way because so many people see certain things in my skillset, want me for just that skillset - and have NO Career development alotted - I’ve even had employers…

I suck at being consistent about working out, its one of the sacrifices I made for my side business *wham wham*, but something that I think is important, no matter how hectic things get, even if you feel you can’t go to the gym regularly - don’t “NOT” go. If you can only make it there Saturday mornings (this guy),…

Agreed its not going to happen on its own - 1000% - my comment is more aimed at how it feels as though that part was “skimmed over” - “reduce Netflix and the such”, “somethings will be harder”, when - at least for my experience so far and discussions with others who have made it - that is conceptually the biggest…

That last part has to function as motivation. For me - it is music, and my drive is based on, being unhappy in pretty much any role someone wants to hire me in (due to experience and passion for music). The feelign of making something great is so rewarding, the trouble is getting to that mark enough to stay motivated…
