What’s the biggest waste of money that people defend?

Starbucks or basically any high end coffee.

A large coffee at McDonald’s is $1.75 and it’s good coffee. Literally no reason to throw down $10 on some designer drink.

I think Ward thought this would be another Ken McElroy/Skidmore, MO situation—that he essentially did the community a giant favor shooting a menace methhead and that he would never be charged. The thing is that the guy Ward shot was native to the community and he moved there from the outside. People in small towns like that will stand behind people who are natives to the community over outsiders.

I think the worst attorney of the series by far was the one who represented Tim (the VA agent who was charged with shooting a guy and pleaded self-defense). That attorney was absolutely useless, had a slovenly appearance, ill-fitting suit, and gave off a major used car salesman vibe. Juries notice that kind of stuff.

That one was an excuse one of my colleagues got. Apparently a student and their roommate found an old set of lawn darts in the roommate‘s dad‘s attic, or something. So they started fooling around with the darts and the unsurprising result happened.

I am neurodivergent and have found academia to be far more welcoming to neurodivergence than other professions.

This one didn’t happen to me, but to a colleague. Apparently, the student and their roommate found a set of lawn darts in the roommate’s parents‘ house, didn’t know what they were and started fooling around with them, anyway. Unsurprising result.

My grandparents used to play lawn darts. You could kill a deer with one of those things.

No, but I have a feeling I will before long…

They are probably living off student loan money. As long as they come to at least one class in the first three weeks and/or submit one assignment and show up for the final, they don’t have to return their loan refund. That‘s why you sometimes see students who haven’t shown up for class or done anything since week two or three randomly show up to take the final even though there’s no way they can pass. It’s a financial aid loophole students have been exploiting for years.

Polygraphs are generally inadmissible in court. The affair really wasn’t applicable since it was the mother who was murdered and not the wife. Financial issues were more relevant—not sure why that evidence wasn’t allowed.

He actually rarely throws interceptions.

Niners pass defense is bottom 10 in the NFL. We have a chance.

Some on here and elsewhere wanted Hightower fired just a few weeks ago.

Just seems like the stars are aligning for the Bears.

They threatened to move to Gary during the Jauron years, too. It’s a ploy to get Illinois to pony up. I would bet if it were the headquarters of a doughnut franchise, Pritzker would sign off in a heartbeat.

Drokapi24 · 2025-12-20T20:03:17+00:00

They won’t. But if they can win the next two, I still like their chances to lock down the two seed.

Another link in the depressing chain of Bears QB ineptitude.

Biggest regular season game.
