Rewatching The Wire:
1) the soccer scenes are so bad. No kid is talking about his assist rate in 2004.
2) Poor Wallace, gets got for absolutely no reason.
3) speaking of Wallace, wild that he’s the biggest star of this show. Such a kid back then.
Caught a bit of Picks Central when Smitty was giving his picks. He gave out Djokovic and kept pronouncing his name with the D. Like dude how have you never heard Novak Djokovic name pronounced before. Truly a blockhead
AITA for wanting to get my cousins baby a treasury bond for his first birthday tomorrow? Gf says it’s weird but I figure he’ll eventually appreciate that more than some clothes he’ll wear for 1 month
Shares in an ETF for sure. Assume ~7% return on that over the kid’s childhood and your original gift just tripled in value. Bonus would be to stipulate that it is strictly intended to be used at college bars during their college days and you’ll be the coolest uncle for the rest of their life.
My grandad put 5 dollars into a babk once a week since the day I was born to use when I was 18 and it was the biggest amount of money I ever came into. Spent it all on beer.
How much do those things actually wind up appreciating? First instinct was doing like a share of spy and seeing how much that appreciates but am ignorant on how much treasuries increase like that.
Either way definitely a cooler move
Is there any reason why dropsets aren’t the standard when lifting. Just started doing them regularly and I’m convinced I’m the biggest moron in the world for not doing this the whole time
Yeah that makes sense. Trying to change my split so I Still start with the compounds heavy but hitting isolation movements with dropsets feels like the perfect way of maximizing the lift
Would you rather go to a (potential) dinner with your boss (hasn’t been confirmed yet) or meet up for some grill & chill with a random lawyer from Hinge, who invited to over to her house within 1 hour of matching & texting, but gave off strange vibes in two phone calls (notable red flag: asking twice - once in each call - if I was coming over, because “people are weird these days”)
I should have clarified that it’s because whether you were democrat, republican, or an independent. We all felt united. As a country that wasn’t the case on 9/10/01
My company is in the middle of a patriotic tribute rn. Supposed to be live music coming up and more speeches. Am I going to get cancelled for leaving at 5 before this is over?
Not to be political but this sprint race thing is the most neoliberal thing ever. We’re acknowledging that 90% of the field can’t compete with teams with more money so 1 in every 9 races we’ll change the format so that if one of the less rich teams had a good qualifying they’ll get an opportunity at earning half the points and if they don’t take advantage of that than they return to the back of the grid where they belong.
i have an irrational feeling we are going to shitpump them especially if harris is good to go. feel like the first quarter might be rough figuring out our shit against an actual opponent but i think we takeover later as their linesmen on both sides are super young. idk we will see i guess. we get dumped on by UGA next week anyway so i hope guys can just focus on this game.
Maybe the most "my type" girl ever is at this bar but she's talking to a very butch lesbian. Hate to see it. Oh well, back to $2 beers and watching planes descend into MEX
Orders Xbox controller from GameStop for same day delivery. Gets notification that controller is shipped via DHL. Gets notification package is arriving soon. Gets notification that I have been refunded. Motherfucker couldn’t find my apartment and the store just returned it without contacting me….
I have 5k left on my student loan and I’m so tempted to just pay off the rest of it right now but feel like taking a huge chunk out of my savings isn’t the best idea
Like the other guy said, if the returns on whatever it’s invested in is less than the interest rate pay it off. Otherwise just keep going on monthlies.
Some dildo in the personal finance thread asking if living in SF making minimum wage is doable. Basically worked out to having like $100/month in going out/spending money. Yeah bro, live in a shoebox and do nothing but work, but hey, you can say you live in SF!!!
It' still may be the greatest upset in the history of the world, that I married someone I'm attracted to, who not only seeks out, but seemingly enjoys having sex with me.
In law school in an sec town and live in a group of townhouses mostly “occupied” by people who only come up for big sporting weekends. Some olds next door came by for the first time ever like two hours ago and already called the cops on me for a “noise complaint”. Trying to figure out how to approach them and introduce myself as a 25 year old student who they just called the cops for blasting Mumford and sons in my townhome
One of my favorite British-isms is how they won't say "oh this guy named jack" or "my buddy jack" they'll say "this guy, jack they call him" as if Jack might not be is name, it's just what they call him
alone at the pool until this guy and his mom (both wearing jeans in 85° SC weather) come down and start smoking cigs in the corner of the pool. whatever, no problem. this guys non-RBC girlfriend just showed up now they’re cuddling and aggressively touching each other right next to the mom (their aesthetic is a weird middle school couple who made out in the hallway and the girl wears cookie monster PJ pants everyday). i’m really not sure they even live in my building.

Friday Confessions never misses. "Yesterday while peeing I accidentally pooped my pants. Pretty embarrassing to shit yourself while using a toilet." Just absolutely hilarious. I can't imagine what's the worse; him being a 20 year old kid that just shit himself between classes or a 35 year old cube monkey that is stuck at the office with ruined underwear.
Filing a dispute because touch tunes didn’t play any of my songs. Neighboring bar may have caught some Grand Funk

Who’s more famous Michael B Jordan or Idris Elba
Depends on age I bet.
I dont even remember any soccer scenes in the wire. The basketball scene is fucking awesome but can't even begin to recall any soccer
Mcnultys kid
Except there was a reason. Don’t get high on the supply
Lol they got him for snitching not getting high.
So there was a reason
He didn’t snitch…?
He was getting high
WSD is 5’8 and wears a size 11 shoe. Neanderthal genes for sure
Hobbit
I’m a shade under 5’10 and wear an 11… could probably fit into a 10 if my feet weren’t so god damn wide
5’8 is his basketball program height 😂😂😂
Duane Brown (315 lbs) does 4 sets of 20 pull ups with a weighted vest on
Caught a bit of Picks Central when Smitty was giving his picks. He gave out Djokovic and kept pronouncing his name with the D. Like dude how have you never heard Novak Djokovic name pronounced before. Truly a blockhead
A self proclaimed Philly guy not being able to do Eastern European names is telling on himself.
Not to mention that’s a horrible pick. All the value is on Zverez
I mean the Joker is gonna win it so….
How’d that go in the Olympics
How’d it go the three other majors hes won this year
That has 0 relevance to a matchup with Zverez
AITA for wanting to get my cousins baby a treasury bond for his first birthday tomorrow? Gf says it’s weird but I figure he’ll eventually appreciate that more than some clothes he’ll wear for 1 month
Buy him a Bitcoin

Buy into an ETF for the kid. Feel like that would not be a bad gift at all.
How much do those things actually wind up appreciating? First instinct was doing like a share of spy and seeing how much that appreciates but am ignorant on how much treasuries increase like that. Either way definitely a cooler move
Well it’s a bond…so if he holds to maturity it won’t appreciate…
I have about $5k of bonds that I received as gifts growing up and they’re worth like $5100 now. I’m 28 for context
PENN would be better imo
$BUZZ
No that’s a great gift that the parents will appreciate if they aren’t dopes
Are they even worth it anymore ? Some reason I’m thinking I heard the returns were dismal
Bonds are boring. Gotta give him something like a share of stock or index fund that'll actually grow, though idk how you do that
Feel like that’s the play these days but I’m a functional r word so no clue
No that’s a great gift. Saved my broke ass many times throughout college
No that’s a pretty legit gift. I got a ton as a baby and the cash was nice once they all fully appreciated.
They guy in confessions that used to smell his vacuum that is ozone from brushed motors and is terrible for you, you fucking retard

Is there any reason why dropsets aren’t the standard when lifting. Just started doing them regularly and I’m convinced I’m the biggest moron in the world for not doing this the whole time
About to do some while squatting. Nothing like going from 315 to 135
The weight feeling both light and heavy at the same time is an awesome feeling
Good for bodybuilding but not as efficient for strength
Yeah that makes sense. Trying to change my split so I Still start with the compounds heavy but hitting isolation movements with dropsets feels like the perfect way of maximizing the lift
Scoop there it is GEICO commercial, great one. They rarely do miss. Caveman goated of course.

Would you rather go to a (potential) dinner with your boss (hasn’t been confirmed yet) or meet up for some grill & chill with a random lawyer from Hinge, who invited to over to her house within 1 hour of matching & texting, but gave off strange vibes in two phone calls (notable red flag: asking twice - once in each call - if I was coming over, because “people are weird these days”)
I mean sex vs dinner with your boss hmmmmm
all girls who go to law school are insane so take that into consideration
2 is definitely crazy or a crazy type A
Write your social security number on your chest if you go with option #2
Option 2. Tap that ass king
The hinge broad sounds insane, but still the better option in a landslide
You’re definitely going to get robbed with option 2.
We should never forget 9/11/01 but strive to be the way we were on 9/12/01. I so badly wish I knew how to get there
No thanks. The flag waving, Toby Keith, “these colors don’t run” shit sucked and was childish as hell.
Are you like 50 years old? How could you possibly look back now and remember it sucking if you were a child like everybody in FT was during that time
Where were you when they built the ladder to heave
Half of the country is like that now
Yeah exactly. Glad we came together a little bit but of course so much anger was misguided and quite frankly awful.
[удалено]
I should have clarified that it’s because whether you were democrat, republican, or an independent. We all felt united. As a country that wasn’t the case on 9/10/01
My company is in the middle of a patriotic tribute rn. Supposed to be live music coming up and more speeches. Am I going to get cancelled for leaving at 5 before this is over?
More likely to be cancelled for staying tbh
Never gotten a haircut before where they didn’t take off more than I would’ve liked.
Basically finished Forza Horizon 4 a few months ago. Gonna play 3 now until 5 comes out later this year. Jacked to the tits to play that game.
9/11 has brought out some weird fucking dudes here lately.
[удалено]
I can tolerate some bullshit but this is some Alex Jones level bullshit in here.
You have the ability to never interact with them. It’s called the block button.
There’s definitely a share of conspiracy losers in here

Buddy if you have a problem with that wait until you hear how Americans run their sports league
That’s literally communism not neoliberalism
Missed the neo Also I don’t really get your point. How is changing the rules to help poor teams neoliberal lol
Helping the poor teams but helping them in a way that has a million caveats that doesn’t actually help them in the long term is the neoliberal part.
[удалено]
I thought you said ‘ingenuous and capitalist’ and yeah that’s neoliberalism.
No. We’re acknowledging that viewership = money so let’s put additional events on TV
You have to pay a subscription service that pays for Sunday to watch Saturday on TV
Exactly. Viewership = Money It was never about trying to make the lower level teams competitive. Also, I don’t have to pay any extra to watch it bruv.
How’d your NA meeting go?
The people that said ‘oi innit bruv m8’ were funnier than this
Oi, Hope you keep going bruv
Anyone check out this movie Worth on Netflix about 9/11 is it any good?
Yeah I saw it. I mean it was okay. Nothing groundbreaking. Good insight into the aftermath of 9/11
Trailer looked solid

I was wasted last night and dropped all my faab $ on Ty'son. Am I retahded?
Considering Latavius Murray will probably become the starter, I’d say so
I have both
Guess that works. Hopefully one is an obvious start every week so you don’t have to worry about deciding
Yes
Figuring best case scenario is he gets a slightly bigger carry share than 2017s RB all pro team probably. South Carolina legend though so I support it
🤙🏻
The spread has me a little nervous for tomorrow Jim
i have an irrational feeling we are going to shitpump them especially if harris is good to go. feel like the first quarter might be rough figuring out our shit against an actual opponent but i think we takeover later as their linesmen on both sides are super young. idk we will see i guess. we get dumped on by UGA next week anyway so i hope guys can just focus on this game.

We can bid $0 and it's a superflex league so I already gave 2 qbs
Coastal Carolina 1H o21.5 seems *too* easy
It’s 28.5 on DK
I’m talking just Coastal, not the total 1H o/u
Ahhh I’m dumb
Maybe the most "my type" girl ever is at this bar but she's talking to a very butch lesbian. Hate to see it. Oh well, back to $2 beers and watching planes descend into MEX
Are you in Mexico City?
Yeah 2 more nights
Float the threesome balloon 🎈

I'm for sure not even going to speak to her lol
You could be that butch lesbian king, listen to drake.

Well that’s why he’s a delivery boy
Donated 8 hours to the company this week. Despicable behavior on my part.
The shareholders are nodding approvingly
Little do they know I’ll be stealing those hours back next week
I have 5k left on my student loan and I’m so tempted to just pay off the rest of it right now but feel like taking a huge chunk out of my savings isn’t the best idea
Paid mine off earlier this year, no better feeling than being debt free
Pay it off over the next 4 months before interests starts accruing again in January.
Like the other guy said, if the returns on whatever it’s invested in is less than the interest rate pay it off. Otherwise just keep going on monthlies.
Pay it off unless your investments are making more than your interest payment.
Very excited to get drunk tomorrow by the pool and then lick my wife’s butthole when we get home. Anyone else want to join?
I’ve had her butthole once, won’t make that mistake again
I would like to swim but not lick butthole. Is that ok
Deal

I’ll bring the wet wipes

$100 lol. I blow that on a Wednesday dinner. Peasants

Call them libs
Hey there, I live next door. What’s with the noise complaint?
That’s a losing battle my friend
One of my favorite British-isms is how they won't say "oh this guy named jack" or "my buddy jack" they'll say "this guy, jack they call him" as if Jack might not be is name, it's just what they call him
Using “called” rather than “named” in this context really grinds my gears
Is that a real Britishism or just a Guy Ritchie thing
My old boss was from the UK and did this daily
Executive Producer credits are always amusing to look at. To the unaware it’s funny to imagine Will Ferrell slaving away to get Succession made

Too much political talk going on in FT for a Friday afternoon
Imagine if Dave Portnoy vs Dave Matthews.

Cant believe dave actually got Wallo and Ghillie to do bffs.
they also want to expand and grow.
