Seems to be popular (car) culture now that EVERY car needs to have dark or black rims.  I'm sorry, but they don't work on every car, ESPECIALLY your mini-van!  WTH!?  

I had a grayish-blue Ford Maverick and I put black rims on it.  I thought it made it look stupid, personally.  I have a dark gray Ford Ranger now, and my dark rims (on the truck when I bought it) look much better.  

I also saw a mini-van with low profile wheels yesterday.  Why is it important for a mini-van to look "sporty?" 

Get off my lawn /rant

I have black wheels on my truck!!

I'm actually noticing more bronze. 

Tuner vans have been around forever, because Hispanic.

It is a decent but not long hike from the train station to the waterfall (maybe 60-90 minutes round trip?)

Bump.  What waterfall in particular.  Never made it last summer, perhaps we will this summer.  

This fucking line: “Is there a good name for that order?”

What is wrong with “May I get your name?”  Or, hell, even “your name?”

ME: I’ll have two tacos and a burrito.

CASHIER: Is there a good name for that order?

ME: Yeah. How about “Two Tacos and a Burrito”.

I'd pay $12/year to not see these threads.

Powerless against clicking on the thread.  I'd say the issue is not with the threads...

Abortion is killing a baby.  I hate the government.  Kill your baby.  God will judge you. That's not my place.

Is this libertarian? 

Egocentric daily social media posting.  I know people who update their "friends" and the world on every mundane detail of their life.  People actually think that other people are out there waiting for what they have to say next, when in reality the likelihood of people hoping they DON'T see your post today is higher.

Honestly I went a solid 10-15 years where I had no desire to wear a hat and didn't understand why people did. Lately I've had a change of heart and been mulling getting a hat.

Then yesterday I pressure washed my deck and got a sunburn on my head. Closer than ever to getting a hat now.

I look forward to following the hat saga of MontyBrunswick.  Can we please have a spinoff thread?

Ergo the word “unpopular” in the thread title.  You follow?

Yea bro. I’ll add wearing anything slim fit or skinny jeans.

What a horrible opinion

Oh. That’s bad man. 

Allow me to give you the whole story.  I'm not very happy, and I don't agree with how we left, but... 

We couldn't board our 6:30 a.m. flight in Indy because of an issue.  We got to the airport around 4:30.  So we had to find a hotel quick, try to sleep, etc.  We've been dragging all day, and decided to go to the game (with my daughter and her friend).  The teenagers were "over it," but still... $300+ for the season for 4 tickets... let's stick this one out.  I got the "I don't feel well" a few times, but apparently I was supposed to read through the lines and suggest that we leave the game.  I'm the asshole for not suggesting...

I was at the Florida/Colorado game.  GF pulled the, "I'm sick and I want to leave" card.  So... I got to see the buzzer beater in the hotel... 🤦🏼‍♂️ 

Wat?

I am a subtitle person.

I completely understand why people would not vote for Trump.  But I do not understand, even slightly, how anyone can confidently vote for Biden.  I understand the, "I vote for Biden because I won't vote for Trump" logic, but why wouldn't you go 3rd party?  How can anyone conscientiously and confidently say that Biden and his administration are best for the country?

I like what I do, and for the most part, like the people I work with.  But "happy" is such a relative term.  My kids are about the only thing that truly make me happy.

Kids are definitely getting worse though.

100% this, 100x over.

Toughness is not longer a pillar of our culture.  Mental, emotional, physical.  You name it.  

yes

I feel like the entire country (people of all ages) is dealing with a complete lack of motivation to do anything.  It is incredibly prevalent in our youth right now.  I think it is a very large byproduct of the COVID shutdown, but I think there is more at play.  

The state of our entire world right now sucks, and is very bleak. It's tough to really get motivated for anything, when you feel you have no control on what the future holds. 

Is it possible to root for both teams to lose in AFC Championship game?
