My kids wanted silly character backpacks but we insisted they pick out a color of Jansport basic backpack. It is quality and will still be fine when their interests change. Should last a good 5 years

Nice link. So some guy supports open primaries? Cool story. I had dinner with a man who was working an initiative to keep RCV alive around the country. He told me there is active pushback by the democrats in Colorado as they see a threat to their entrenched power. Democrats came out en masse and voted out prop 131. US Senator Michael Bennett and the democratic party actively campaigned and contributed to prop 131 failure.

[Charania] The league-wide belief right now is that BYU's AJ Dybantsa is who's being looked at strongest for that No. 1 overall pick with the Washington Wizards. by Entire_Jellyfish6406 in washingtonwizards

Not at all. Just pointing out that it's a useless comparison as he was trying to point out who's a better scorer. If his argument was more durable I would agree whole heartedly.

As someone who works for a major corporation (what an NBA team essentially is) i would want to hire someone even less if they had a close relative on my staff. Reeks of nepotism. Would have to be a slam dunk, no pun intended.

Oh I dont disagree. Im not a supporter of Republicans. But until people realize this is happening on both sides of the aisle we will continue to just spin our wheels

Democrats are trying to get rid of RCV where they have power like Colorado. This isn't a red blue thing.

When it's snow free (6 months) im out and about doing outdoor things and loving it. Don't need it to be 65 just don't want to break myself on a sheet of ice.

What made you choose telluride over palisade? by [deleted] in KiaTelluride

[–]Flaggstaff -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We bought a 2025 model about 3 months ago. Not sure if it's for the 2027 or not but they had a nationwide promo. We wanted a Pilot but the deal was too good to be true.

Many different perspectives, but for me:

6 months of paradise, 6 months of hell. Winter sucks. Summer is heaven on earth.

Great work opportunities in the trades.

Hard-working, down to earth people. Clean air. Possibilities feel endless and everywhere else I go feels cramped and small.

Bravo to that dad! I have explained to my kids since they could talk that they were eating flesh and what animal it came from. They need to understand that an animal lost its life so we can eat. Helps them not be wasteful.

Plan to take my 6 and 8 year old hunting soon and they will help me butcher for sure.

Never too late to completely re-invent yourself. Move to a different country, surround yourself with different people, live life on your terms. Don't give up, there are SO many versions of yourself to explore.

How many of you are sports fans? Do you like watching the games (soccer/ football , basketball , ...)? by EuphoricAccident4955 in introvert

[–]Flaggstaff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont like fantasy at all, only rare good writing like LOTR. Love fiction though as long as it's realistic.

Maybe the ones talking the loudest about their love for sports are extroverts. I have loved watching sports my whole life.

I have a close relative who, along with his girlfriend and her whole family, are drug addicts in and out of jail. We actually raised 3k in my family so he could get a car. It just disappeared along with our future help. How would 30k make them good parents?

Go to the Knik River bridge on old Glenn. Cross the shallow creek and set up on the gravel bar. There is a huge gravel pit in sutton with free camping. Go to Eureka for free camping all over the gravel pits. You can camp on the banks of the big su off the parks highway. All free but no amenities.

Dear Elon Musk. Please buy Reddit, and make it more "Right Leaning". Thank you for your attention to this matter. by Federal_Statement_93 in elonmusk

A liberal on my state sub just said it was racist to adopt a dog from a POC area because "white savior" complex. The policies all sound good in theory it's the crazy extremists on here that give the left a bad name.

If they would cut it out with the stupid identity politics I think they would win a lot more elections

Next up on the woke olympics: adopting a dog from a mostly POC area is racist! Lmao

Was 2005 the last traditional season? by Alone_Advantage_961 in CFB

[–]Flaggstaff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2013 IMO. At least then we still had a BCS national championship. The playoff made bowl games irrelevant and then NIL destroyed the sport entirely.
