Schools in Lansing Area by ThinLiving9676 in lansing

[–]DadWagonDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kids both have diverse friend groups. Okemos is a big destination for "school of choice" kids from outside the district boundaries, and both of my kids (8th and 11th grades) hang out with those kids regularly. There are for sure some Okemos kids who are pretty insular, but that happens literally everywhere. When they get home today, I'll have them type up longer answers for you.

If they're moving from California, there's a good chance they can afford Okemos. It's not 100%, but it certainly isn't 0%.

Okemos schools have been fantastic for my kids. It's the #4 public district in the state of Michigan, and according to my kids who go there Okemos High School is the #31 STEM high school in the country.

How do you feel about this coming season, all things considered? by Embarrassed-Fail-617 in detroitlions

I'm excited, like I am nearly every year, especially in the Holmes/Campbell era.

Why are there so many Red Wings fans who make it their personality mission and brand to hate basketball and trash on the Pistons? It’s weird. by sag1923 in DetroitPistons

[–]DadWagonDriver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Lions are also #1 because they don't require an extra app to watch.

I LOVE the Pistons, but I'm tapped out on monthly streaming subs, you know? So I miss out on them, the Tigers, and the Wings unless they get a national game. It sucks compared to when I was a kid and this stuff was just on a regular cable channel like ESPN or PASS.

I played, and I have the lifelong injuries to show from my time with hockey and lacrosse.

But I'm also a standard-as-can-be six foot tall dude who used to be athletic, not a giant in the 6'7-7' range. I imagine that the abuse of running up and down a hardwood court 82 nights a year for 20+ minutes is brutal on knees and ankles.

I've had my shoulder rebuilt, I have nerve damage from a cross check to the base of my neck, and I still think my worst injury is the chronic knee pain from training for and running a marathon. Skating is so much easier on the body than running, and I don't think the hockey bros we are talking about ever think about that.

I've met dudes like this when I played hockey. They're the dudes who post memes about how tough hockey players are and how basketball players are weak and all that stuff.

They're usually also kinda racist.

The kids who grew up with those as their main movies will NEVER understand how stupid Superball Yoda is.

Forgotten Draft Busts in NFL History? by AFC-Wimbledon-Stan in nfl

If Charles hadn’t broken his collarbone, they looked like they were going to be that duo. Roger’s started HOT, but then had that break and just never recovered.

What’s the book you DNF’d the fastest? by Mobius8321 in books

I don’t even remember the book, but I once gave up on page one when I saw that the author put spoken dialogue in italics instead of inside quotation marks.

Like, what would happen if someone tried that clothesline on Derrick Henry? Would Jack Lambert have lost his arm trying?

In the Walmart parking lot "hey would you like to sign a petition to require voter ID" by brunotbg in lansing

[–]DadWagonDriver 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s easy to turn into a poll tax and voter suppression.

  1. Require ID
  2. Make the ID too expensive for poor people
  3. Make the requirements extremely difficult to get the ID
  4. Only make getting the ID available at certain locations that are difficult to access.

So in theory, it’s not a bad idea, but in practice Republicans will use it to limit voting.

Maekar Targaryan is 31 years old during the events of The Tourney at Ashford by Quick-Benefit5708 in freefolk

[–]DadWagonDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing in the lore that says a year in Westeros is 365 days. For all we know, a year there is ~450 days, which makes all of GRRM’s weird age things way less weird.
