re: The trash from the Swift-Kelce wedding has sold out at $25 per bag

One horrible couples trash is some deranged lunatics treasure.
I’m not even going to put this on Swift/Kelce (is she going by Kelce now? No idea).
We vote with our dollars on a societal level. The reason these two were able to rent half of Manhattan and a small army of cops and other personnel for their exclusive wedding, then sell the literal garbage from that event is because at a societal level, this is what “we” want.

re: Pilots of the OT - is AI and automation threatening your job?

Flying is complex but much more controlled than driving. Autoland technology is already in place, but not legally allowed to be utilized unless in very certain circumstances.
And millions of driverless cars are already on the roads, but most people don't know that.
I guess I should have said “the potentially problematic scenarios in flying are more difficult for automation to deal with”.
Yes, there are a lot of driverless cars on the road, but when my Model 3 with FSD encounters an edge-case that it can’t deal with, and I’m incapacitated so I can’t either, it will stop and pull over.
In an airplane, it can just go to “straight/level” in an emergency but if it can’t land, it has to solve the problem. You can’t have any unsolvable emergencies with autonomous flying.

we have. I actually enjoy loading it because she cooks 95% of the time and I like seeing a nearly organized dishwasher that I know is going to get the dishes clean.
Problem is I'm too "slow" at it so she races to the sink to do it first.
Not sure what the rush is, but if it’s to get to bed, maybe you take an L on the dishes and go with her. :lol:
In all seriousness, yeah this one is difficult. It doesn’t sound like a knowledge thing, sounds like she just doesn’t care…or maybe she cares more about “tidying up” than getting things clean (you mentioned her beef with soaking things in the sink).
If she’s doing all the cooking, I’d just try to convince her that you’ll handle kitchen cleaning but she has to get out. Get her input on how she wants things, but once she plates/dishes the food, that’s a wrap. Time to go. Then you take over.
Not a pilot, but I have to believe there’s going to be a place for human pilots for a very long time. We’re not even there with driving yet and flying is far more complex.
It’ll be at least a couple of generations before people trust unmanned commercial aviation. Military applications might be different considering drones/UAVs have been around for a while but even there, the flying branches are still sending human pilots through expensive schoolhouses and the USAF is currently working on a manned 6th generation fighter.
In short, if you follow where the money is going, it looks like significant investments are still going towards training human pilots and putting them in cockpits.

I try to be sweet boy cad and unload the dishwasher and I'm greeted to a crime scene in the morning and she'll walk by and comment "I think we need a new dishwasher there's food all over everything and nothing is clean" as I'm dumping out the plastic bowl that's half full of dishwasher water and random strands of floating spaghetti.
Have yall tried a “CAD loads, Mrs. CAD unloads and puts away” method?
That way she “discovers” that there’s a better way to do it with your current machine without you telling her.

I mean we all have our moments where we kinda suck, but we’re social creatures by design, so I don’t buy that someone “is just an a-hole”.
That’s a cop-out for not giving a shite enough to treat people better. Simple as that.

If the intent is to show no racial discrimination in hiring, then racial reporting needs to be done on new hires, not job applicants.
Unless they might need to show that they had no minority applicants and so no choice in hiring, or something similar.
Yeah I believe it’s “end to end” (screening, to hiring).
In fairness to the EEOC, plenty of applications used to go in the trash because the first name was Jamal or Lakisha, or the applicant’s address was in the “wrong part of town”, so they are trying to address an actual problem. I think they just need to rethink what success looks like.

They shouldn’t be able to ask about race on a job application.
They’re not doing it because they want to. They’re doing it to prove compliance with EEOC.
The problem as I see it is that the door only seems to swing one way because employers are incentivized to reverse-discriminate their way into compliance and make their organizations “look diverse”.
The standard should be “do not make hiring decisions based on race period”. Regardless of what the outcome of that is. Nobody should care if a department/org/LOB is lilly white or chocolate city as long as nobody got screwed over to make it that way. Equal opportunity, not forced outcome.

How are they going to find out whom he is?"
Sure, but if they take this to court, wouldn’t they have to explain how they identified the OP….which would completely validate the OP’s claim?
It would be pretty stupid for Westlake to take legal action, but if they’re actually doing what the OP claims, I guess they might be just that stupid.
Dude moved from doing some tranny crap to doing some Viking berserker crap in a few seconds.
re: 9 shot, dozens arrested after massive 4th of July 'teen takeovers' across Raleigh NC

My son and I were in downtown Raleigh for a few days recently. Other than the nightmare they call parking, it was nice. No homeless people all over (like downtown ATL) and the areas were clean and tidy.
They did have a solid city police presence and I feel like that makes a difference. We only passed through Glenwood South so I could have missed them but zero police presence.
Bottom line is every municipality has trash. If you’re a decent area, or a nightlife/eatery scene like Glenwood South, you have to keep the trash where it belongs. You can’t just let it roll in and take over.

True or not, a college commencement speech is probably not the time to be telling people to embrace the thing that might end up making their four year investment pointless.
If you’re giving a speech, know your audience.
There are a lot of people living here that take this country for granted in 2026. That wasn’t really the case in 1976.

See this is the trap that a lot of guys fall into. They set “visually appealing” equal to “attractive”. Attraction is the net of what draws you in minus what pushes you away. “Purty” is only a part of it.
quote:
And remember - she's getting her jollies off teenagers - all they care about is getting it wet and she is using that to her advantage.
Correct. That is the repulsive thing about her that more than cancels out her “purtyness” (IMO).
So she is an unattractive person in a pretty package.

Is the OT excited for Taylor Swift s Wedding today?
Gratitude is more what I’m feeling.
Gratitude that it will soon be over and people move on to something else.
And gratitude that I live in a place where two self-important assholes won’t shut down a part of my city for their exclusive, invite-only wedding on a holiday weekend.

I find them depressing.
Didn’t we just have a thread about guys marrying women who are a financial train wreck, where the main takeaway was to avoid women who lack impulse control?
Here we are a day later, hard-legging over a deranged kid predator because she’s purty. We’ve learned nothing. :casty:

Not speaking for that poster, but I don’t think his post was directed at you.
It was likely directed at the handful of posters who absolutely would have made it a race thing if the additional context/video was not added.

At what point is he a threat? Once he closes the distance?
