My new to me Fri music discovery - JD Aug 16, 09:24 [youtube]
For your amusement - read this insta thread showing the most insane break up text ever. -- (link) - Andie Aug 16, 08:59 10
- Man, where *else* is she gonna find a needy and controlling dude? Good luck matching that! -- nm - Reagen Aug 16, 09:24 1
  - If he can’t get the math 🤷‍♂️ (committed to the wedding 12 months ago….relationship is 7 months old)—she dodged a bullet with a sociopath -- nm* - Trending Aug 16, 09:31
- Immaculate jumped out at me, too. -- nm - David Aug 16, 09:17
- That response is perfect, though -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 16, 09:14 3
  - I would have corrected the your/you're as well -- nm - oblique Aug 16, 09:22 1
    - it's better with no response to the content and just pointing out that one very-misused word. Simple, deadly. -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 09:25
  - oh, it's great -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 09:14
- *smh* I hope she finds someone that lets her be herself. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 09:06 1
  - ... I hope he never does -- nm - rollo Aug 16, 09:31
- That’s….wow. -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 09:01
Mapping the Human Brain - JD Aug 16, 08:55 1
- this creeps me out and at the same time is really fascinating -- nm - prayformojo Aug 16, 09:14
Star Trek Lower Decks finale will be 'gigantic' -- (link) - Remlik Aug 16, 08:47 2
- They're going to the middle decks -- nm - con_carne Aug 16, 09:23
- I hate those words. -- nm - David Aug 16, 09:17
WWE: Bobby Lashley and MVP are gone. -- nm - Remlik Aug 16, 08:40 2
- I’m surprised Lashley didn’t have more to do the last 2-3 years but he’s older and not a good talker. - Will Hunting Aug 16, 08:46 1
  - Agree. Hurt Business had a license to print money and Vince fumbled it. -- nm - Remlik Aug 16, 08:49
Harris-Walz campaign economic proposals: - decline Aug 16, 08:32 6
- Supposedly also restoring the expanded child tax credit being announced later today -- nm* - znufrii Aug 16, 08:39
- That seems like.. not much? -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 08:33 4
  - the more detailed and specific the more material you give for the NYT/CNN to pretend to be shocked about for the next three months -- nm - mr mooch Aug 16, 08:36 3
    - Plus there's a difference between "achievable goals" a la Obama and old fashioned "campaign promises" writ large. -- nm - con_carne Aug 16, 09:24
    - Just saying, if I am a corporation it makes me think about breathing a sigh of relief. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 08:37 1
      - other than maybe stopping corporate real estate portfolios, big business cares more about the antitrust stuff. they want Lina Khan's head on a stick -- nm - mr mooch Aug 16, 08:39
A word of warning on Alien: Romulus. Don't read *anything* lest you get spoiled on some stuff. -- nm - David Aug 16, 08:11 15
- In an incredible cross-franchise twist, the Romulans show up -- nm - Trending Aug 16, 08:55
- Thanks! I will stick to ST only, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 08:25 12
  - the aliens kill a lot of people - mr mooch Aug 16, 08:27 11
    - You. Bastard. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 08:29
    - But if we go to their planet, then aren't WE the aliens? -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 08:28 7
      - Way to ruin that we go to their planet, jerk! -- nm - David Aug 16, 08:45 6
        
        wait what -- nm - mud Aug 16, 08:57 5
        
        all I know is that this thread essentially has spoiled the movie a little. Now Im wondering, do they go to their home planet? is this just a joke? -- (edited) - Jovian Aug 16, 09:00 4
        
        It’s a joke. -- nm - David Aug 16, 09:14 2
        
        (But I love that you built an entire backstory around said joke.) -- nm - David Aug 16, 09:14 1
        
        lol yes exactly! - Jovian Aug 16, 09:16
        
        I think I have seen one commercial for this movie and have read nothing about it. I know nothing. Anything I have posted is a joke. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 09:07
    - some, not a lot -- nm - oblique Aug 16, 08:28 1
      - "Aliens Devastate Mining Colony, Not Many 20Somethings Dead" -- nm - Space News Network Aug 16, 08:42
- All I know is that the trailer makes me think of the video game Dead Space and that the lead (I think shes the lead) is from the movie Civil War. - Jovian Aug 16, 08:13
DTL: In the conference tournament final and on the NTT bubble. Think I'd rather lose and get a high PTT seed. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 07:45 9
- I think the 64th NTT team gets more “win” than the PRT champ so get that spot. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 08:24 2
  - They do. Conference titles (both reg season and tourney) are also worth something -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 16, 08:57
  - I'm not tanking the game and I'm currently #49 so I have a chance to get in with a loss any way. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 08:28
- Also, congratulations to Hunter Richards who became Buffalo's all time career leader in points in the semifinal game. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 08:11
- tanking! -- nm - rollo Aug 16, 08:01 3
  - Strategic outcome positioning -- nm - JD Aug 16, 08:20
  - I'm not tanking, but I hope I lose. -- nm - Dano Aug 16, 08:04 1
    - rooting against your own team! -- nm - rollo Aug 16, 08:06
- I lost in the semis and will not be sneaking into the NTT through the 5 hole this year. My team's clutch rating is @$$. - Baron of the Rings Aug 16, 07:47
Look at this cool building -- (link) - ty97 Aug 16, 07:45 14
- that green is my total fav bathroom color. like, it's flawless in a bathroom. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 16, 08:27 5
  - I painted my bathroom green but a lighter shade than that one. I love it! It's fun, bright and looks great. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:40 4
    - I love a green bathroom in winter. like "spring will come eventually." -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 16, 08:42 3
      - It is kind of a refreshing color when the cold, dark days of winter hit. - Krusty Aug 16, 08:44 2
        
        how much time are you all spending in your bathrooms? :) -- nm - oblique Aug 16, 08:50 1
        
        Enough to maintain my beautiful visage. :-) My bathroom is beautiful while my bedroom needs so much work. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 16, 09:03
- cool building. dislike the kitchen countertops. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 16, 07:58 1
  - Yup. I don't like the cabinets much either but they can be stained or painted. Gotta replace those countertops though. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 08:41
- That's cool. I would remove the doors on that breakfast closet. I like the idea of original(?) floors but I think that style clashes. - Max Aug 16, 07:50
- that's great (especially bldg) - seems wildly underpriced? -- nm* - Andie Aug 16, 07:47 4
  - pretty great, right? furniture is way too big for space, is way bigger than it looks. -- nm - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 16, 08:29
  - I don't know if that's common for the city it's in. It's not on the main commuter train line to the city, so perhaps that's why? - ty97 Aug 16, 08:21
  - Interesting that it's more than double the assessed value. -- nm - Max Aug 16, 07:52 1
    - that's common here. the assessed value you get taxed on is much much lower than market value (thank goodness.) -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 07:54
Hello from Scotland! -- nm - Mop🧹 Aug 16, 07:42 9

  - YOP! -- nm - oblique Aug 16, 07:53
- I went and saw Alien: Romulus yesterday. It wiped me out so much that I went to bed at 7 pm and woke up at 9 am. -- (edited) - David Aug 16, 07:48
- Grandkids visiting, unending list of new house stuff to do, drive up to Jax and back Sunday. (i.e., exhausting.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 16, 07:44
- reading, maybe go to a pool party. sort of blessed nothingness. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 07:44
- Not entirely sure. Birthday party on Saturday morning, followed by the pool if weather cooperates. Then to the shore, maybe? -- nm - znufrii Aug 16, 07:43
- Gym PR workout after work. Deserts/drinks with friends tonight. Daughter comes home from TN before going back to school. Son should be arriving Sun - oblique Aug 16, 07:42 1

ADHDlol - znufrii Aug 16, 07:12 10
- The latest I heard is that driving for long periods appeals to those with ADHD. And the reasons listed why? 100% me! - Spawn Aug 16, 08:36
- a very good friend was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which seems accurate. but now, her entire facebook feed is filled with ADHD related memes... - Andie Aug 16, 07:21 8
  - Yeah. That’s not what ADHD is. - znufrii Aug 16, 07:29 3
    - Right, and she definitely has it. but she can't seem to find the line between what it relates to and what it doesn't. -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 07:30 2
      - The most useful illustration in the book, to me, is drawing a parallel to nearsightedness. - znufrii Aug 16, 07:32 1
        
        ... - Andie Aug 16, 07:36
  - looking back I know I have it to some degree. I find kids let it own them while as you mature you just deal with it and move on - Beaker 🍺 Aug 16, 07:24 1
    - yep -- nm - Andie Aug 16, 07:25
  - We humans need something to blame for everything. -- nm - Spawn Aug 16, 07:22 1
    - Not always about blame. There’s value in simply having the language to talk about things accurately and precisely. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 16, 08:42
my immediate supervisor has a kid who is on the softball team for her junior high school (yes, they play in fall). the school has a rule that for - ☀️ mandy chem ☀️ Aug 16, 07:02 13

    - Or kids with modern, very not nuclear families who can rotate a whole list of bio and step parents -- nm - JD Aug 16, 08:18
    - Do rich people have time to attend every sports practice? -- nm - Roger More Aug 16, 08:03 5
      - most likely only 1 parent works, so yeah -- nm - decline Aug 16, 08:08 4
        
        Or super rich, single parents -- nm - JD Aug 16, 08:17 2
        
        or... very poor parents who work as groundskeepers at the softball field -- nm - rollo Aug 16, 08:22 1
        
        😏 -- nm - JD Aug 16, 08:23
        
        Yeah, I agree it's a specific type of well-off family. -- nm - Roger More Aug 16, 08:15

  - This one was comparing the income of a minimum wage worker with the wealth of a billionaire - znufrii Aug 16, 06:47 3
    - To your IM, they do, but they don't. - Baron of the Rings Aug 16, 06:59 2
      - But at least we can all agree that the existence of billionaires is objectively a bad thing. :) -- nm* - znufrii Aug 16, 07:01 1
        
        I definitely agree. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 16, 07:20
