re: When did you/your kids stop believing in Santa?

My Dad works with a woman who said her son is starting to get suspicious and ask questions. He's 13...Thirteen! Meanwhile one of his classmates is probably banging the teacher.
I have no idea what the hell is going on with kids these days.

They haven’t won an NFCCG since what? 96?!!!!
They haven't even played in one since 1995. And they played in 14 of them from 1970-1995.
Pretty crazy how the Cowboys, Dolphins and Raiders practically made the league what it is today and they collectively have one conference championship appearance between them over the last three decades.
Arrowhead is probably five miles from the Kansas border. Other than shifting some municipal bureaucracy from ghetto arse St. Louis to the leafy suburbs around Overland Park, I don't really see why this matters.
I think the point the OP is trying to make is:
1. There have been college QBs that had a lot of elite weapons surrounding them.
2. There have been NFL QBs that had a lot of elite weapons surrounding them.
But how many QBs had the privilege of sitting in both of those cockpits?
Both of them were in season 1 of White Lotus on HBO and while there are plenty of bikini shots, neither let the sweater puppies out to play. The show is made by a gay dude so that explains a lot of it.
Well the secret society was Christmas based for some inexplicable reason. So maybe the timing is appropriate. Hail St. Nick!
At least they won back to back World Series and reaped huge marketing returns.
What the hell are the Mets getting out of that $91 million check?

I spend most of my time at work reading. In my free time I like to give my eyeballs a rest.

Before everyone calls me crazy, this trip is purely about flying, not seeing the cities.
That's what makes you crazy.
You're basically flying a weird leg hopping route all of the way to Helsinki (in the dead of winter no less) and you have to buy tickets for two of those legs, all just to turn straight around and come home? And while you have a new kid at home? Just seems really pointless and directly in the bucket of whatever fallacy applies to people who waste time and money trying to chase bargains or free stuff that aren't worth the effort and resources expended in the process.

I've likened it before to a football game where one team is always playing defense and the other is always playing offense. Sure the defense can stop them half the time and occasionally score some points via a safety or interception return but the opposing "offense only" team will eventually score more points and will ultimately wear out their opponents and score at will.
Look at immigration. Every single deportee will just come right back across our border as soon as the next Democrat is sworn in and they will be even more committed and open to the concept of open borders now that it is a wedge issue. Same with welfare, DEI, crime and every other Machiavellian tool in their hands.
It's a lost cause and were just fighting to prolong the inevitable collapse.
If you think about it in a more complete way, most organisms - including the octopus - never make it close to one year. They lay hundreds of thousands of eggs and a lucky few of those will survive to adulthood or die of natural causes.
Nature is a cruel numbers game. Most of the numbers get eaten soon or quickly perish in some other fashion. Humans are just an outlier.

My cousin's boyfriend is committed to an SEC school but he's getting some draft love as well. But his draft evaluations are kinda all over the place. Will be interesting to see where he gets drafted and what he decides to do. I chipped in about the greatness of SEC baseball, and SEC life in general, but there's a point somewhere in the draft order where it makes since to invest a signing bonus and begin your career in earnest.
re: Chicago Bears idly threaten to relocate to Gary, IN

There are non-Gary towns in N. Indiana filled with quaint, well-behaved Midwesterners.
A Christmas Story (and the book upon which it was based) were set in Jean Sheperd's hometown of Hammond, IN. But I think Ralphie's old man hated the Bears and ridiculed the so-called monsters of the midway.

The son had a history of drug abuse and homelessness.
Drugs, I get. But how does the son of a rich Hollywood type (remember he owns a big piece of Seinfeld along with his hit movies) ever become homeless? You would think the parents would buy a place for him to live in and pay the utilities. I don't really see Reiner as the tough love type but I wonder if that's what led to the stabbing?
Kid will probably go the Menendez route and claim he was the real victim.

I truly don't understand how an individual gets THAT hung up on politics that change every four to eight years. Crazy.
There was a guy in Nashville - very wealthy/influential and a very big donor to Democrat politicians and liberal orgs who killed himself a few days after Trump won re-election. Dude just had full blown TDS and the election flipped a circuit breaker.
If I had that kind of money I would just completely divorce myself from anything that caused me anguish. OK, family can't be helped but social media and MSNBC...yeah, piss off.

Possible double suicide?
It's very unlikely that two people would die naturally at the same time. I know it happened with Gene Hackman but he was mid-90s and invalid.
The options here are: (1) mutual suicide pact, (2) murder suicide or (3) double murder.

Lions went to the playoffs six times during Sanders career. Granted they were mediocre teams, but that's not "wasted".

I know what you mean. Last year my daughter bought a skyscraper in Los Angeles and it was taken over by European terrorists during their Christmas party. Now when I watch Die Hard it hits home in a much different way then it did when I was a kid.

I’m really excited for the meeting with Carol that’s coming and where it goes from there.
Based on how they have slow burned the candle on this show, I'm now dreading the language barrier and stubbornness of these two. I mean it should be a pivotal moment in the plot development but I could see an entire episode where she just yells at him for 50 minutes because he can't say anything other than "the dog chased the grey cat".
re: Do you suffer from "Range Anxiety" while driving?
Posted by AUFANATL on 12/11/25 at 1:23 pm to boxcarbarney
Ive had that like three times in my life and it was always driving in the middle of nowhere out west when you can go 50 miles without seeing a gas station.
Otherwise, LOL, I know how to fill my car up when the needle gets low.
Low paying summer job in high school. Among the assorted cast of characters you typically meet in these situations was a 25 year old black woman who weighed at least 400 lbs, drove a giant beaten up '70s land yacht and wasn't exactly known for her smarts or work ethic.
Well, one day she doesn't show up for work and people start chattering that she's gonna get fired, etc. Later in the day the cops show up and inform us that they found her dead, naked in the back seat of her land yacht which was parked out in the woods in a remote location and that they are treating it as a homicide investigation. People start crying and getting upset and then the cops start asking co-workers questions about her life, whether she had enemies, etc. Her work friend - another corpulent black woman - starts acting squirely and admits that she was having an affair with a skinny 60 year old married dude who had like 8 kids or something. They brace the dude and he admits they had been screwing in the backseat of her car and that she had a heart attack so he pulled his pants up, jumped out of the car and ran like 10 miles to his home and just left her there.
