This is how you can tell Clemson lost.

Umm 8-1 on the season, bud, after Amir hit a game winning shot in the final seconds. We gonna be ranked bitches!!

Can't imagine trying to pine for the approval of others after the age of 22.

Facebook made a billion dollar business based on this exact formula.

 

[RubinRock]

That's why you guys didn't go near Olave. He only quarantined 17 days.

RIP. Just like the dodgers, OSU not giving a shit about player safety. Think of all the lives murdered. Disgusting.

I mean, to be fair, Facebook's origins were in that sweet spot of people <22.

I don't know if Zuck himself even knew the amount of manchildren out there who need validation of "friend counts" as they approach their 40s.

So you didn't watch Friday night? Probably for the best.

as a notre dame fan, i was embarrassed for them.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Friday was pretty good. Anyone else?

Lots and lotsa fun!

HUZZAH!

So my 4th kid (3rd son) is due a week from today (prob sooner but that’s the date) and because everybody asks about the name, we’ve been fucking with people who ask,

My mom thinks he will be a Gunnar. Told a few neighbors he will be a Bo. Even told one nosey neighbor we might call him Ralph lol (Christmas story)

Is it normal to ask people what they’re gonna name their baby? Seems like just waiting to find out would be more polite?

Gunnar's a great name.

I'm always telling mine, good boy, good boy.

I mean, I get it in a lot of instances...and she had asthma and was afraid that she was truly at risk.

I don't feel bad for anyone who decides to be more on the cautious side of things.

she mentioned a couple times how much she misses sex though

Even with asthma, is she really that "at risk" though?

I'm assuming she's in her 30's, which has a COVID mortality rate of 0.12%. According to the CDC, about 8% of Americans have asthma.

trust me, I tried that argument.

but she was still overly cautious.

 

[Me]

trust me, I tried that argument.

but she was still overly cautious.

Was it earlier in the year? When not as much was known, I can see why she might be like that.

Congrats, dude! So nine months ago, you walked into the bedroom and said, "I'm Rob Base and I came to get down!"

Is it normal to ask people what they’re gonna name their baby?

I can't believe this is your fourth kid and you're asking this. Yes, it's normal to be asked that question. In my experience (three kids) it's only uncomfortable to field that question when you haven't decided. Our third wasn't named until after we'd been home for twelve hours and we'd spent three days in the hospital after her birth, so she existed for nearly four days being called only "baby."

it was earlier in the year...but I think she is still very cautious. I haven't really checked back in with her though

 

[basement bias]

Hoping that I get an email or call to get an interview scheduled. Seems similar to the role I'm doing but maybe little less responsibility. Probably be a pay cut, but I'll take it to just have a job. See how this new company works out for now.

There's no shortage of folks approaching COVID illogically.

Good point.

1973 dead in ohio since December 9th. I'll let you guess what changed on that day. Absolutely disgusting. Al qaeda killed 3000 people and we mourned as a country. 1973 have been murdered and counting. And we just act like nothing is happening. Disgusting. Hitler, Hussein, Mao, Kai Shek, Stalin, Pol Pot, Ohio State, Dodgers. Forever linked together.

on both sides

I think you need to weigh your risks and not go totally overboard, but you can't operate like it isn't a thing.
