Might want to actually use products that help with that my guy.

Or maybe youre just being a pussy and an insult to your ancestors.

This isn't quite true. It happened in 2023 as well. Before that it was after 9-11.

That's wasn't a full grounding though. Checked and it lists 23, but says this is the first time since 911 it has been a full issue stop

Shoot, I set the standard in the office.

Wear the appropriate matching watches too. None of that digital crap.

And ill be honest, I can thank StichFix for updating the office wardrobe.

7-9 NFL team makes the playoffs: Woo hoo it’s wild card weekend!

The difference is a 7-9 team of pro athletes could still win it all.

Tell me with a 24 team playoff in College if an 8-4 OSU (Okie St.) or a 9-3 New Mexico team has a legit shot.

This is more proof that all you need to ruin anything, a product, a sport, a business, is a bunch of fat cats in suits around a table discussing how much they get, how little everyone else gets, and then telling you they know best.

Seen enough of it in my adult years to hate the entire system.

But sure, make your argument about how its better while they talk down to you and make sure they get as much as possible and give zero shites about the final product.

It was only ever about money and will be until this cash cow runs dry

"Ryan! Ryan! You're dumb as f***."

Snapped the ball at 41 so couldnt run it out

Oh if he was Muslim, they'd chastise and then arrest the woman who reported it.

Then the BBC stations in the UK would report on how vile it was a woman would accuse a Muslim of mostly peacefully raping her.

Yep your choices were

Vote black or you are a racist to get the liberal white women out

Or

Vote for this wealthy white dude who hasn't done anything and enjoys lemonade on his mansion and high fives Trump

GA failed because our roster of GOP options was a complete joke

Its so funny to me that people think these politicians care about you. They dont.

Its also quite telling how bad the GOP is at the moment when it had everything going for it the last election cycle.

Dems - will threaten and openly talk about the harm they will do, and do it. 100% of the time they follow through ruining this country in the name of equity and helping non citizens and minorities

Then you got the GOP - tell you how they will fight back but get into power and do nothing. Sometimes less than nothing like ol Mitch.

Those are your two parties

One that openly runs on an Anti American platform and continues to draw in young voters and another that is about as flaccid as the guy sitting in their cuck chair in the corner.

Republicans deserve a better party than what our options currently are.

Tired of voting for these losers for them to do nothing in office

Look, I know we crap on AI a lot on here and I agree that most of it is slop. However, out of my circle of acquaintances and friends that fall on the other side of the political spectrum, only 1 or 2 are capable of having any discussion that goes against their current beliefs and political biases.

We always here the term "Late Stage Capitalism" or "America is at a crossroads" from both sides, but what would that failure look like for America?

Well, I asked AI by feeding it a great deal of information related to current events without hallucinating or making up its own skewed data.

Based on the summary of results, looks like what it deems as a failure of the country is already in the process.

Do you see this changing at all?

As someone on the right side of the isle, to me at least, this is already happening in full swing.

Actual Risks:

1. Collapse of institutional legitimacy and political norms
2. Extreme polarization turning political opponents into existential enemies
3. Economic inequality combined with declining perceived mobility
4. Concentration of political/economic power and regulatory capture
5. Unsustainable fiscal commitments and debt
6. Information ecosystems that reward outrage and misinformation
7. Institutional paralysis caused by constitutional structures poorly adapted to modern political parties

They reinforce one another.

Economic frustration ? populism.

Populism ? distrust of institutions.

Distrust ? political extremism.

Extremism ? legislative paralysis.

Paralysis ? executive power.

Executive expansion ? greater fear when the opposing party controls the presidency.

Fear ? greater polarization.

It becomes a feedback loop.

Imagine 20–30 years where:

Congress becomes increasingly incapable of legislating.

Presidents consequently rely more heavily on executive authority.

Each succeeding president expands those powers because the previous president did.

Congress objects when the opposing party does it but tolerates it when its own party does it.

Courts increasingly decide questions that legislatures refuse to resolve.

Each side starts viewing unfavorable court decisions as illegitimate.

States begin openly resisting federal policies.

Federal deficits constrain policy choices.

Economic resentment intensifies.

Politics becomes increasingly personality-driven.

And Americans become willing to tolerate increasingly aggressive uses of government power because their preferred leader promises to use it against the people they fear.

Imagine being a slave to the corporate machine and thinking not taking your allowed PTO is somehow something to brag about?

What an idiot.

Better belive my allotment is used up before it expires because we dont get paid for what we dont use.

I work for the money and thats it. Outside of that, I could give less of a shite about the company cause, as soon as im gone or I die, that position will be posted the next day.

Belive what you want, but your job gives 0 craps about you and not using your PTO.

They just hope the next guy will be dumb enough to have that same mentality.

I get flashed with my low beams on. I turn on hi beams to show them it was low beams and they still get mad and flash over and over

I said the same in an older post.

Get mad at the automakers or the current NTSB rules.

If youre driving a Civic and my low beams in my pickup hurt your eyes and you flash your lights, ill happily show you the surface of the sun so you know the difference.
