I think we're mostly of a certain age, with apologies to dax. When was the last time you guys heard someone say, "Let's not and say we did"?

It was a big thing for the teens to say when I was in grade school/middle school. 2000 hs grad. Def a gen X saying.

Cashier at Jimmy John’s turns around the tablet.

Cashier: It’s just gonna ask you a couple of questions

Me: …

I feel guilty and add a dolar, while the cashier stares me down.

Furniture guys, 2 couches, what are we tipping now a days?

I would scramble and probably try and find my kids hidden money because I never have any cash and hope to find a $20 to give them.

Yeah I'm thinking 10 each or 20 each depending on how little they eff up my walls.

I used to deliver furniture for Faith Furniture in MHK back in the day. We used to get paid 7.50/hr + tips. Well, when I started they didn’t have a delivery fee and most people tipped. After I’d been there about 6 months, they started adding a $20 delivery fee and tips slowed way down.

We were always pumped when we got a tip. It was usually $20 or $10 bill split between two guys.

We definitely messed up some walls. Sometimes it’s almost impossible not to.

Has anyone seen Loudermilk?

I’m excited to see it just based on this scene alone:

Outside of like athletes and celebrities, who makes $500k a year in salary? I feel like most people who make that much typically have so much going on business wise that with a good accountant they can finagle things to where there reported net income is a lot less.

If you told me at the beginning of the year we'd make the tournament I would've taken it.  We lost a lot from last year and had lots of question marks heading into this season in terms of production.

Kind of wild that it’s only our sixth appearance all time

Went on a road trip w my dad to the Black Hills region of SD a couple of weeks ago, and took him to visit Deadwood. He, of course, was enamored with the place and its history. Introduced him to the show Deadwood on HBO and he is all in.

Been a pretty fun rewatch so far.

Only way to find out if Nic's new SA friends are racist is to get them to post here

I couldn’t remember, but when I asked my wife if she remembered them even mentioning anything about racial attacks or black people or anything like that and she didn’t. They were basically just saying there was just tons of violent crime, robberies, kidnappings, etc., like it was the Wild West or something.

Knew some SA'n truck drivers that worked silage harvest in the states half the year

Comically (like 1950's southerner) Racist

Did know a revolving crew of SA dudes who did custom cutting on a crew w a few hs buddies. Don’t remember if they were hugely racist, but there was always a black dude or two around as well, so prob not the best environment for racism detecting.

Of course they moved to Germany lol

Like I said, they didn’t seem like the type to make up stories.

Elon doing what he did with his ai is not good obv, which is really the point of the convo imo.

To be clear, I'm implying they're Nazis

Seems like a weird thing to imply.

I’d never heard of South Africa being a dangerous place until my wife and I met a couple on a work trip dinner this past September. They were both natives/born in SA, but moved to Germany in 2005 or so. We’re prob in their early to mid 50s at the time we spoke. I can’t remember any real specifics, but they were telling legit horror stories about how bad things had gotten in SA even then.

I’m talking barricaded windows, and extra locks/super strong security type doors inside the house, being mugged several times, etc. They definitely didn’t seem like the type to make up stories.

This wasn’t a big news story at the time of the conversation and it was pretty random how it came up.

Also, never heard of the white rock thing, but have heard of the pineapples and looked for them today for some reason in my neighborhood… didn’t see any.

I have lived in this house for 9 years and one of my diagonal neighbors introduced himself today as I took the trash can to the street. He's lived in that house since the 80's. I have a giant tree in the front yard (no clue what kind) and he told me he calls them "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) trees" because the branches will spur off in random locations.

Now the only neighbor I haven't talked to is the people that moved next door 3 years ago.

Whenever I move to a new neighborhood/town, which is rare these days, I’m always excited to get to know my neighbors and hang out and stuff. But what usually happens is I don’t make the first move and then I feel like it’s too late to become buds, so I just wave awkwardly and stuff.

This is especially pronounced in the neighborhood I live in now, where you can go for days without seeing someone aside from exiting or entering the garage. All the other places I’ve lived were more normal neighborhoods w people parking on the street, having big front porches, hanging out outside, etc., so you end up getting more acquainted with people without trying.

Ant is pure joy. Last night while he was on the bench someone on his team made a three and the camera cut to him standing there, big smile, jawing away, and making his weird Spiderman hand signs in the general direction of the crowd.

I saw this for the first time last night and lmao
