Hunter2_1 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) - People thinking chicken parm or excessively cheesy lasagne or Italian beef sandwiches etc are actually examples of Italian food - People claiming they are [enter other nationality here], whilst being the product of two Americans who have never even been to [X country]. It's your ancestry, not your nationality. "I'm Irish", no you're American. - Have you noticed the dudes walking around streets playing their music loud from speakers now? What happened to ear phones? Why do we all have to listen to your ish music? That one really bugs me. Should be punishable. For a football one..I find it a bit strange that you often get comments on how the players look as the top line in the 'strengths' section. For example; "Rocked up frame, highly defined quads and boulder shoulders". Well.....Vernon Gholston had all that....weird Edited March 27, 2023 by Hunter2_1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Hmm, you know what, that's more just things that annoy me personally. Not really the point of the thread. Let's agree with ET and go with choice of clothing for certain people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a reality that i'm gonna be working until i die. But also hopefully something that i don't truly despise and might actually even want to do on some sort of basis at that point. Something where i can maybe find interesting pursuits and challenges within it. But the whole thing is absolutely absurd. Literally just living to work. So you can afford to retire and die. I gave way too many of the prime years of my life to stupid waste of time bull**** that was way beneath what i'm productively capable of. Real efficient system. I think my mindset and everything changed for me when my son was born last year. We work from 9-5p and then he gets home from daycare. We have from 5pm-7pm, 2 hours each day to spend time with him. Thats it. I get to see my 1 year old for 1.5-2 hours a day when he is not sleeping or at daycare and its not enough. Also, watching my parents at 63 go through the retirement process right now. It seems miserable. Its like watching them go through a second mid-life crisis with planning, freaking out over healthcare, if they have enough money, ect. It just a situation I dont want to find myself in which is causing me to go crazy at 33 trying to have a plan for the next 20 years Edited March 27, 2023 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I think it's a little weird wearing a polo shirt with the pro sports team logo on it unless you work for the team. If you don't, it's a weird combination of trying to dress it up a little but also being really sporty by having the logo on there. I don't like it.

Family stuff but with them being so young and malleable I wish it was more than relying on the 2 days of the weekends. I assume this will all change though when the kids get older and are able to stay awake until 8-9p. Just sucks right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see having a kid rearranging some things and making you look at the world differently. Personally, i find that i barely have enough time in a day to keep myself alive half the time. Much less another dependent human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retirement should be 50. You had my work/time from 16-50 years old, I want 50-85 years old to live. Even split. We all pay enough money in taxes to make it happen within the budget, but we would rather spend those tax dollars on......other things besides the lives of the people who earned it. Im desperately trying to get out by the time Im 50-55 (33 now). Ill do anything and go on whatever business venture I have to (Ive already done 2). Walking into a cooperate office building at 60 years old to sit behind a desk for 40hrs a week is just not something I can even think about doing with my life. It aint happening, get me out. Im just doing my retirement while i work. I dont care to save any money because when im old, my needs will be meager Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty21 Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 On the flip side, something that isn’t common practice but should be: fat people should be required by law to announce “nobody better go in there for 15 minutes” every time they’re seen exiting a public restroom. For no other reason than to make me laugh every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
