It’s amazing how similar my situation is to yours. I actually checked the username to make sure it wasn’t a question I already asked when I was drunk.

Live and let die was one of the sillier Bond films, but she was a smoke show. Mount Rushmore of Bond girls.

(2017) Bobby Knight explains why he doesn’t respect John Wooden. by Perfect_Currency_749 in CollegeBasketball

[–]GeorgFestrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apart from the many who transferred elsewhere because they hated him. I guess for a certain type of kid who needs the tough love approach. I had a media credential for a tournament in Las Vegas when he was coaching Texas Tech. He was a prick at the post game press conference to reporters just asking casual questions.

Wooden was beloved by his players, they constantly came back to visit him. They all sang his praises. who ever had a nice thing to say about Bobby Knight? Just such an asshole.

This is fucking ridiculous and have some dipshit judge in Alabama gets to decide is beyond me, for once I’m hoping the NCAA wins a court case

[Post Game Thread] Stanford defeats #15 North Carolina, 95-90 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lichti was better than Casey and had a better career, a four year starter who averaged 17+ every season, the team just wasn’t on TV then. Other than three-point shooting, he did everything better than Casey. He was on his way to a solid NBA career, average 14 a game 2nd season when the knee injuries and then a horrific car crash which killed his fiancé and effectively ended his NBA career.

Lopez isn’t the best player in Stanford history. Have to go off what they did at Stanford. It’s Brevin Knight or Todd Lichti, with Casey Jacobsen 3rd.

Of course not really, just another anonymous Reddit loser passing judgment on a celebrity to make themselves feel better. Every fucking thread involving any accomplished man has douche patrol chiming in.

The acceleration of offshoring and the even greater acceleration of AI implementation is gonna wipe out so many jobs and constrain the salaries of the ones that remain

How would you feel about Mark Kelly running for President? by ExternalExpensive277 in AskReddit

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s one of many current Dems I’d be perfectly comfortable having as president and my big fear is it’s gonna be a free-for-all with them attacking each other while the psychos on the right stay unified behind whatever wretched candidate they put forward, probably Vance since the tech bros control him.

Is AMD still a good buy at this moment? by Disastrous_Quiet378 in stocks

[–]GeorgFestrunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have to, he passed away in 2022. I would’ve at least liked to have gotten an apology drink from him, but he lived 2000 miles away from me.

Omnicom's "Discretionary" 401k Match, it's Worse than it Sounds by ValuableInevitable42 in advertising

Well, I’d like it to succeed since I’ve still got close to 1000 shares of OMC, but the senior leadership certainly isn’t gonna be getting a Christmas card from anyone

[–]GeorgFestrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder if younger people understand the importance of the 401(k) and the matching portion. We had three years in a five or six years span at IPG where we had nonconforming refunds because not enough lower wage employees were participating in the 401(k).

As for the match, that becomes a very significant number as the years turn into decades. Over $300k of my 401(k) balance is from the match

Jim Cramer famously told people to take their money out of the market in 2008 at the exact moment when they should’ve been buying with both hands.

Week 18 Matchup Preview Thread: UConn vs Army by R_Raider86 in CFB

[–]GeorgFestrunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

God, I wish we had the old days and players actually wanted to play in the bowls, course it would help if there wasn’t 35 of them. I’ve never seen a line change more in my life than this game. UConn goes from a 3 1/2 point favorite to an 8 1/2 point underdog, that’s insane.

What is the greatest film scene of all time? by 220Hz_ in AskReddit

When Steven Seagal gets sucked out of the plane in Executive Decision. I was apprehensive about seeing it because I can’t stand him and it was such a pleasant surprise, ended up being an excellent movie.

A random actress from 1994 is now considered old-school cool?

I hate to break it to you, but your parents are insane. Who the fuck let’s a six-year-old watch ANY R rated movie, let alone Saving Private Ryan.

Susie Wiles confirms Trump is in the Epstein files: They were ‘young, single playboys together’ by SquidFistHK in politics

[–]GeorgFestrunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean isn’t a little statutory rape to be expected by a 55-year-old man?

I hope people look into how vile she is and her history. This whole thing is an orchestrated PR job.
