I am gonna be brutally honest here and say that this is the best goddamn thing I have ever read on this site.

I get that too. For me personally, as I have gotten older I have less time for games and I have gotten worse at them. Hell, I generally just play games on easy so I can get through the story and be on to the next one. That is why I loved the “just give me the story” mode on Horizon Zero Dawn where I just one shot…

I’m glad I am not alone in this. As I have aged, the prospect of boss battles has really soured me on some games. It’s probably the reason I never got super far into Witcher 3. Every boss I encountered required me to die a few times, go to youtube, find out what I needed to craft or cast to beat the boss, and by that…

Yeah, outside of the small D1 college my cousin plays for I stopped following all sports teams and most sports personalities on twitter. The fandom around sports there is fucking awful.

Use that word, it’s a hate crime. Period. End of story.

When it comes to he said/she said, the last person on earth I would ever believe is a cop. Especially a Texas cop. I was once pulled over in Dallas on the morning of July 5 after staying at a friend’s house because I had been drinking and didn’t want to drive. The cops pulled me over for having a tail light out. They…

When I was in high school we had a kid who today would have prototypically been the type you would assume would shoot up a school. He never talked to anyone. If you tried to talk to him, he just snarled at you. Most people just avoided him because he creeped them out. I ended up sitting next to him during Spanish my…

I started the first book when you recommended it before but only got about 100 pages into it. I think I’ll try and give it another shot this summer now that I am no longer bogged down by work and school at the same time.

Look at Mr I’m Gonna Steal Your Fucking Voice over here.

This entire thread is all the proof I need that I made the right decision to be a single 38 year old man who stays inside playing video games during all of my free time. The cougars in Far Cry 5 are way easier to kill and I am much better equipped.

That is exactly how I would look at it too if any of my students did this. It’s a teaching moment (as most of life is). And it’s a perfect way to start a discussion. I’m in special education so I don’t have kids in my classroom when we do the pledge every morning, but if a teacher in my building attempted to do this…

I would be so damn proud of any of my students if they took a knee during the anthem or the pledge. My students are first and second graders so most of them just stand and zone out during the pledge every day or talk to their neighbors. I could definitely name a few teachers in my school who would probably act like…

I live in Paul Ryan’s home county. The only hope I have for him in retirement is that he is made to feel unwelcome anywhere he goes in Rock County, Wisconsin (or anywhere else in the world) for the rest of his natural life.

Thank you.

Thank you!

Yeah, from what I have been told, it is pretty common across the whole company. You really have to bust your ass to get fired there.

I would kill for a woman like that (even though I don’t mind dogs), but would also gladly break any of those rules for the right one. What’s the point of being in a relationship if you can’t be flexible?

Thanks! My little guy that I talked about is sitting right to me enjoying the free time he has earned for good behavior. We have had a good day and even those they don’t happen as often as the bad ones, one good one easily outweighs ten bad. I take care of myself too, don’t worry!

I need my kiddos way more than they need me. They are what keep me getting up every morning.

You shouldn’t. Ever. If I heard another teacher at my school say that to a kid, they would get a tongue lashing like no other, in front of the children.
