@Jolly said in It’s a Hard Knock Life for the AFC North: @LuFins-Dad said in It’s a Hard Knock Life for the AFC North: All 6 of the Steeler’s divisional games are in the last 8 weeks of the season. The 2 non division games are Philadelphia and KC. The last thing we need in the middle of that murderer’s row is frigging cameras in the middle of everything and being a distraction. Goodell hates y'all. Not as much as New Orleans, but he hates y'all. There's no other explanation for such a schedule. Or… He knows that Pittsburgh is a national team with one of the largest fan bases in the league. They also knew that they were planning on making the AFC North the focus of this series. Wouldn’t they want to up the drama by making every game a huge game? Bengals, Browns, and Ravens all play half their division dames in the final 6 weeks and also have at least 1 other major game in that stretch. The league manipulated the schedule to drum up more interest in the series. It’s no coincidence that the Ravens play the Chargers (Harbaugh vs Harbaugh) the first week of the show…

@Copper said in Eject! Eject! Eject!: I gave a lot of rides like that, fun stuff. Good for you. Absolute core memory for my kids. Wish I could share the video here but you hear my kids saying: “this is the fastest plane ever! hey we are flying!! I can see Disney world! I can see the ocean!” Our pilot was a young fella but very professional the whole time, even though he flew the loop many times that day he was following the flight plan very strictly.

@jon-nyc just a little dusty.

I could see Pewee Herman riding that.

Nope.

@LuFins-Dad said in Dont Get the Bikini Barista Mad!!: And one final part of this story that I would like an answer to is why exactly she has a claw hammer that close to hand and instinctively reached for it and attacked… I don't think that's particularly unusual for people in that kind of job who work alone. A friend of mine worked in a gas station back when people came into pay late at night and had something similar.

@LuFins-Dad said in I'm late to this one...: You know, black culture takes pride in being ghetto… Has anyone ever told them that ghetto literally means the area set aside for the Jews to live in? I mean, in a way, Israel is as ghetto as it gets…. Twofer? [image: OIP.flZY1dT7GWjAsOD9MDTTvgHaF_?dpr=1.5&pid=ImgDetMain]

Celebrate inclusion

@jon-nyc said in Fathers Day 2024 - share your dad wisdom here: unhinged Yes, I was surprised by the inclusivity.

For the record, I think healing can happen, but I think it's FAR rarer than what folks (like my family) claim.

In fairness, there is a sense of great adventure to immigrating to a new country where your hard work will be rewarded with a lifestyle you could not have achieved in your home country. But of course, being born somewhere, life there is the antithesis of adventure, so that motivation necessarily evaporates over the course of a generation or two.

No it stays up. It's next to a garage light that turns on from sunset to sunrise.

@George-K said in American Thinker du jour - Prison Edition: I eagerly await Merrick Garland's prison interview. I wouldn't be too eager...Disappointment awaits...

I don't think the general public was completely aware, but many of the people who move in those circles probably are.

@jon-nyc said in Trump and the waitress...: @Jolly said in Trump and the waitress...: Funny, back when Trump was President, I had more groceries in my cart for the same amount of money Then Covid hit and his appointee tripled the money supply in six weeks. And, not satisfied with the ice cream, Biden ordered two more scoops, chocolate topping and a cherry on top.
