  1. I did see this on Instagram. I'd probably caution against being a digby/FBN taking everything on social media at face value. But even if it was fake or embellished it is highly plausible and pretty focking sad

    How would you spend your $5k DOGE dividends?

    lots of more important stuff it can be used for. Social Security reserve will be dead in the next several years, for example. I'm sure Trump would love sending out checks with his signature on them but it would NOT be a good idea. Cutting wasteful government spending and helping reduce our national debt in any way possible IS a good idea. Our debt rose 1.4 trillion last year under Biden. Lowering our debt will also help lower inflation. I feel like he said something like 20% going to pay down debt and 20% going to these dividend checks... please put 40% toward debt.
  3. So the immigration status of the family wasn't discussed? All I will say is the following Bullying has always happened and will always happen. There will always be something for kids to pick on and torment other kids for. So it's sad for a young person to get to a point where they take their own lives. If her parents are illegal and she was born here and enrolled in school, shame on the parents for breaking the law and putting their daughter in that situation.

    Giants Fan?

    yes!... let them have their slap fights around a barrage of golf tip youtube vidoes and back and forth chatter that has nothing to do with politics

    Giants Fan?

    you know what would be great? If a collective group of us went into every political thread those obsessed blow hard start and we hijack it into a thread about sports or food or hot actresses etc.

    Giants Fan?

    Barkley wouldn't have been this Barkley if he had been on the Giants with that offensive line. Jalen Hurts rushing ability was also a big help. That said, it's all very embarrassing for Giants fans, especially with the clip of Mara saying he'd be sick and Schoen kind of laughing at it. I have absolutely no idea how or why the Giants didn't clean house.

    if you're legitimately not him, and not even trying to be a troll version of him, then you show alarming symptoms Honestly with the name "BeenHereBefore" I assumed you were at least someone's alias originally made to pretend to be GF.

    Hah! I had actually scrolled all the way to the bottom of page 1, thinking we must have had a decent amount of draft thread posts, so I was looking at the 2023 bone rolling which was March 4th that year

    Last year we rolled bones first week of March. That still a good time line ?

    Trump and Russia- the optimism is fading

    Biden took a harder stance which was also the dumber stance. First of all, Putin definitely invaded under Biden because he expected a weak response, that much we can agree on... And that is exactly what he got. Perhaps he expected an even weaker one with zero pushback? .. still, the Biden plan of no communication with Russia and constant aid to a country that has no chance to win, is not a very strong response. Russia is not losing that war unless the US fully steps in and says "okay Ukraine, we will go to war with Russia for you". If you think it's up to Ukraine to decide what is best for them, not us, then why do you support all the $$ we sent them under Biden? Now you're saying "what's in it for us anyway?" when a post or two ago you were banging the diplomacy, helping all allies big and small drum. The best outcome, even if concessions have to be made, is for the war to be over. Prolonging it by aiding Ukraine just enough to keep it going only increases the loss of life. Concessions in war happen all the time.

    Trump and Russia- the optimism is fading

    First sentence makes no sense The US should support all allies, I agree. However in THIS case, the best thing we can do to support Ukraine is to figure out a way to END the war. You're right, it is diplomacy. Dipomacy often calls for negotiation. Something the Biden was unwilling to do and instead felt it was more appropriate to waste our money funding Ukraine in a war it can never win without the US completely stepping in from a military perspective. Beating Russia in Ukraine would be a great upside. It's not going to happen and the downside that Ukrainians continue to get demolished is more realistic... unless, again, the US get much more heavily militarily involved. Biden wasn't willing to do that either. If they refuse, then fight on? So I guess you also support funding a war Ukraine can't win for as long as possible . How do you think you get Russia and Ukraine to agree on a ceasefire when your president wasn't willing to speak to Putin?

    Trump and Russia- the optimism is fading

    Putin invaded Ukraine once Biden took office. Never in the 4 years of Trumps first presidency.. Why? The war needs to end. Part of that needs to be putting aside the words enemy and allies. Lets be honest, how strong of an ally is Ukraine? How strong of an ally will they be if we continue to fund them in a war they can't win? What was the upside of the Biden plan of prolonging a war Ukraine won't win? Why is the TDS crowd so against the idea of simply doing what needs to be done to end the war? At this point the only win for Ukraine will be when the war ends. ... like honestly who cares if Putin gets his ego stroked? Who cares if we have to do a little appeasing of the enemy if the result is ending the war and saving lives? Liberals had no problem appeasing the enemy when we traded the merchant of death for Brittney Griner
  16. I wouldn't trust an 18 year old with 100k in hand. I might have ended up using the $$ to make my first semester tuition payment, then invested the rest in the market The most logical thing to do, and safest for the student and family, is to send that loan directly to the school to cover tuition and related expenses first. If you're living on campus with a meal plan, that's all part of it. Possibly books as well? Although I recall still having to buy my books and normally If I had a close friend or someone I lived with in the same class or taking the same class, we just split one or if their parents bought all their books they usually didn't care and let me just borrow it when needed. I didn't even do work study programs or have a job while I was at school. I worked on my summer breaks and I was pretty good managing my money so I was able to pay off my student loans pretty quickly after graduating.

    Who is the most liked geek?

    For me, in no particular order Fumbleweed, Bill E, Skids, MTSki (does he count if he doesn't post anymore?), Edjr even though we have a semi love hate relationship, BiffLager, AliasDetective even though I believe he can't stand me, I guess I could name the rest of the edex guys... Pat, Dain, even rain delay Cloaca. My IBL crew doesn't really post here but the long time members like Dan, Me200x, Cuse, StewburtX. Geek Homers guys like Lambert, CMH,... RHR has been a welcomed non vaginitis addition, ZT I guess it's a lot of guys I participate in Fantasy Sports related stuff with and many of them steer clear of the geek club. I also have always gotten along with OldMaid and was super disappointed by her vanishing act.
  18. Even though I have been labeled "Mr LIV" around here, I have now watched almost as much TGL as LIV over LIVs lifespan. I don't think this is surprising. Still not sure of its shelf life but the fact that it is prime time, indoors, in the winter makes it an easy watch. If you exclude some final rounds of PGA Tour events, i've probably now watched more LIV than PGA this season. I didn't watch a single shot of the WMPO, I checked out basically after round 1 of the Genesis, etc. It's still going to irk me that most people who trashed LIV for its format, with teams being part of that, are now super on board with teams when its produced by Tiger, the PGA, ESPN etc. BUT that does not sway my opinion that there is a market for team/club golf in the sport. It's a global game and club soccer's popularity could translate to club golf.
  19. It was genuinely funny watching Tiger hit 56 degree wedge from "99" not realizing it was 199. You see the screen in front of you, there is not way he could have been 99 yards away so I absolutely get them telling him 99 under the assumption he knew the yardage was closer to 200 than 100. the banter that went on after that, the way Tom Kim and Kisner were laughing and the way Tiger ultimately owned up to his fock up and called it one of the most embarrassing moments in his golfing life was pretty funny.
  20. Im sure theres some crap in various contracts, maybe with ESPN that say he has to play in a certain number of events unless injured. they need people watching and he's still going to be the biggest draw. he's played in all 3 matches for Jupiter. Homa hasn't played the past 2.
  21. Im pretty sure the federal student loans go directly to the schools and the only way you're going to see any of it for use on living expenses is if there is excess after.
  22. I definitely got a credit card when I was 18 with something close to that 5k limit. It was excellent because I quickly built up my credit score. I had student loans but I’m almost positive my parents had some involvement in that. It’s not like I went somewhere by myself and some sleazy fock gave me a loan
  23. He’s talking out his ass but technically you can make the argument that loan = less of your own money spent immediately on tuition = more disposable income for lattes
  24. Which is why they should tackle the problem where it begins. The universities. not take the easy way out and offer loan forgiveness for votes.
