Epic Cajun

The Spurs saved us from having to watch another Thunder game this season. I think I’m forced to root for them for that reason.

Late July through late August is the worst month for sports, especially this year.

Louisiana's trajectory has been downward since at least the days of Huey Long, and that's due to the voters. Their concern isn't their careers, it's making sure they can go see their cousin in Opelousas every other weekend, and have a boat that is worth more than their doublewide to go fishing every weekend, etc. They will turn a blind eye to political corruption, put up with public schools that are utter trash, and make excuses for anything and everything. But culture!

Meh, if you make decent money you can have a solid quality of life in Louisiana.

And it’s funny that you think people should value their careers over their family.

Weird to me that no healthcare organizations are listed.

Lack the common sense to know how to behave in civil society.

Right, I’m sure there also isn’t a rule that says you can’t strip down naked and walk across the stage on your hands either, but some things should just be inferred.

quote:

You want to be able to indoctrinate your children without outside interference. Put another way, you’re not opposed to indoctrination; you simply want to have a monopoly on it in regard to your children. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with that, but it doesn’t magically make it not indoctrination.

---

I think the word you’re looking for is “parent” not “indoctrinate”.

If it wasn’t for outside attempts at indoctrination, I doubt I would ever bring up homosexuality to my child at all.

try not to judge but i judge people who bring tablets to resturants. I get it, sometime i am jealous of them having a peaceful dinner, but they won't learn how to behave in public if they are watching cocomelon everytime you go out with them.

We have a 5 year old and a 1 year old, going out to dinner is hard at this time (only due to the 1 year old), so we just limit how often we and where we go with her.

Our 5 year old has only ever looked at a personal screen to FaceTime with family members from our phones. She’s been on 10+ hour road trips with us and plays with an etch a sketch, a tonie box, or coloring books :lol:

If you don’t think having your retirement already funded changes the way any relatively ordinary person looks at work and their financial obligations, you’re not thinking. This opens up significant discretionary spending for anyone.

---

You wouldn’t still contribute to your retirement enough to get your company’s match? I know I sure as hell would, I’m not fond of passing on free money.

Im 39 years old. $600k cash would be an absolutely life changing sum rn, would open up so many avenues we dont currently have available. I say that despite the fact we already have the house and cars paid off.

---

I’m not sure if I should say “I’m sorry” or “Congratulations” :lol:

It depends, busy weeks, probably 30 hours, non busy weeks, probably 15.

I guess it depends on what you call work, too. A lot of what I have to do is research on how to fix an issue, so maybe you can bump those numbers up by 5 hours or so.

Thats life changing money for a lot of folks.

600k?

I mean I guess I could retire a few years early, but is that really life changing?
