re: we sent women to space on a rocket shaped like a weiner... bring your best one liner!

Is Bezos’ fiancée hot? I can’t decide. I feel like all of the fakeness with her looks makes me feel like she’s trashy and into butt stuff, so I’m confused.

In high school, I woke up to Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith every morning. The first 30 seconds in a perfect alarm.
re: I just heard about the connection with Coke (soda) and McDonald's...
Posted by BrianFlanagan on 3/22/25 at 9:28 pm
McDonald’s Coke products taste better than other places bc they’re the only ones that use a glycol system similar to a place serving draft beer where the beer has to travel from somewhere. The syrup is refrigerated, which is also unique, and it’s kept cool/fresher all the way to the dispenser. It’s a $100k system that other fast food places must not think is worth it.

I’m not reading eight pages so maybe someone else has already said it, but skilled illegal labor has got to a point where it isn’t really cheaper than legal labor. The skilled workers figured out their worth. The difference is you have a better chance of the illegal worker giving a shite about their work.

And before someone says "That's why you spank! You make them want to care about what you want them to care about!" it's not like that at all. My six year old literally doesn't even realize he's not giving a shite about how to spell words or whatever. His mind is probably off somewhere debating who's better all-time, Messi or Ronaldo.
Real parenting problems is your kid deciding professional soccer is their first love. And teaching them how to be decent at wiping their own arse. It all has to be downhill from here, right?

The OT never disappoints… 90% of the posts have been from expert parents telling this guy he does not know what he’s doing or that he’s a pussy. I am all about spanking. My children cause me rage that can only be topped by my wife. When I was in middle school, my Dad actually spoke with my shop teacher and had me cut a paddle out of a 1x4 in front of my friends to bring home to get spanked with later that day.
This dude could be the best parent on Earth and that might not matter. All kids are different. I have a six and three year old and their brains couldn’t work more differently. Both very intelligent.
The terms autism and “on the spectrum” have become such general terms these days that they don’t really mean anything at this point. Having ADHD these days means you’re both autistic and on the spectrum.
I used to be somewhat similar to many of these posters. “Medicating your kid means you’re a lazy parent.” I ended up with personal experience that changed my opinion. I made a 34 for the English section of the ACT in high school, but I can’t read a book if my life depended on it. I can read a how to book (for example, I passed both the Louisiana commercial contractor and electrician exams just from studying and I wanted the licenses) but to this day I can’t read a novel. I have to read every page three times and still won’t always remember what I just read. I have two college degrees. First one I completed with around a 3.0 GPA. Someone recommended talking to my doctor about adderall while in college and I completed the second degree one B from a 4.0.
My six year old’s brain is very similar to mine. We can only really focus on what we WANT to focus on. Otherwise, spanking will only help each time there are issues. For example, he will do what I want after spanking only because he doesn’t want to get spanked again. Tomorrow we would be right back to the same situation every single time. That’s how he was from 2-4. Daily spanking and yelling just to get him to choose between fricken chicken nuggets or a hamburger happy meal from McDonald’s.
Last year, as a four year old (he turned five a month in) he started PreK-4 at a Catholic school here in BR after years of daycare. At the first parent-teacher conference, his teacher’s probably first sentence out of her mouth was he needed to be on ADHD medicine. I thought it was wild that a PreK teacher was telling us to medicate our kid. At this point, I’ve taken adderall for 20 years and was worried it would affect his personality. Our pediatrician was confident it wouldn’t and we started it.
He’s super smart. He’s getting good at sports. He might actually have been larger at three than the OP’s kid. Still 99th percentile for height and weight. His kindergarten teacher this year will literally call us to bring his medication, if we forgot. She can tell every single time. You literally can’t have a conversation about schoolwork with him. No amount of spanking would fix his situation for more than 15 minutes. It’s just how his brain is wired. We’re all different. He has zero social issues, because he WANTS to play with his friends and he’s popular. He has a lot of friends. I tell people all the time he can’t quit the medication until he’s 18. I don’t want him to be the shithead kid in the class. I want him to be awesome.
And for the posters that said medicating kids is the pussification of society, I have zero doubts that my medicated six year old would kick your six year old’s arse. Neither he nor I take any medication other then to help focus. The actual way to be a good parent is to do whatever necessary for your kid to have a great life. Don’t listen to most of these idiots.

When Taylor accepted the penalty to make it 3rd & 25, I genuinely expected Pickens to finally catch a deep one in the end zone and the Bengals lose. Zac Taylor is an idiot.

If Tyler Warren is available at the Saints pick and they don't draft him it would be the most Saints thing ever. He is Taysom Hill 2.0.
The Saints should draft Jaxson in round 2 or 3 as a quarterback. I'd rather have him over most other quarterbacks in this draft so why not take a flyer.

My two cents is a selfish/bias two cents and I wish Burrow could have someone like KOC or Andy Reid calling his shots. He’s putting up video game numbers with a joke organization, currently.

I kinda feel the opposite of what everyone is saying and I don’t think Mahomes sits next week. Maybe just plays the first half. With the round 1 bye, I don’t think it would be smart for Mahomes to be off two weeks in a row.
re: Zac Taylor needs to give his salary back to Cincinnati
Posted by BrianFlanagan on 12/28/24 at 4:45 pm
Bias aside, Joe Burrow is a top 5 quarterback in the league. Every top 5 quarterback to play the game has made their play caller look better.
Back to original point, Zac Taylor is not an elite coach.

Very fair… But, I’ve watched almost every Bengals game and he seems to always shite the bed when it matters with terrible play calling, like the 3rd and 4th down play calls on the first drive.
The Bengals are 2-7 on the season in one score games. Same with Brian Kelly getting blamed for not finishing games. I’m not blaming Joe in Cincy.

I got a great education at St. Amant, played sports, made friends, qualified for Honors Tops and got paid to go to LSU.
My kids will go to Catholic and go to St. Jude currently. Couldn’t be any happier with St. Jude.
Like someone else said, it really just comes down to the parents and the kid. I’ve known plenty of shitheads to come out of both Catholic and StA. There’s definitely no guarantees.
