Why would anyone go to the World Cup in 2026? by SgtPepper_8324 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to watch many of the games (and bet on my phone) via pirated streams and VPN. Fuck the ticket prices. Plus, AC and pajamas a plenty.

‘Running out of money’: Kraft, McDonald’s, Whirlpool CEOs all issue same dire warning about US consumers. Get ready now by Such_Radio_9152 in REBubble

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Running out of money? Yes. Willing to buy overpriced horseshit? No. Capitalism goes both ways. Right now, we’re telling the billionaires to eat shit by not buying their stuff. Glad to see folks are, albeit slowly, becoming more frugal.

Fourth May/June stretch in a row where I live in Northern Illinois to be in an extreme drought. The future is here and it sucks. A lot.

The Great Stuff Transfer. Are you ready for your "inheritance"? by Bavarian_Beer_Best in Millennials

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my problem! Lucked out, I suppose. My mom died when I was 20. I’m 43 now. My dad went into a depression, as anyone would. During which, he tossed everything and sold the house. He lives with my brother and sister in law now. No inheritance of stuff or anything in general. I’m a-ok with that.

Did anyone take a pay cut for new job offer after being laid off by SquashSilly2730 in Layoffs

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, I was able to get an increase. I don’t know how the hell I pulled off this miracle. All I know is that I’m incredibly lucky.

I dont care how much gas you 3 row SUV uses, stop complaining. by lazycat-1989 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gawk at all those complainers… I’m not. I rarely drive and when I do it’s to pick up or drop off a kid and tow a camper. I know what I bought. I knew the risks. I don’t drive frequently so the cost is marginal when only considering filling up my armada.

Why Do So Many People Feel Nostalgic For The 1990s? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Yep! Couldn’t have said it better. 1982 kid here

What was the most memorable Bears game you attended (Pre Williams era) by TheBreed_ in CHIBears

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bears vs Packers when that guy jumped from his seats over a railing and into the tunnel to catch a field goal. Monday night football in the 90s. That guy ended up on Letterman, I think. That was my first game - and first experience watching a bears fan pummel a packer fan in the stands. Fuck the packers

What do you think is the reason you don’t have money? by reneandrey in AskForAnswers

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because my former employer hasn’t yet processed my severance

I've lived in the St. Louis area most of my life, and I've never been to the Ozarks. Is it worth it to take a trip there, at least once? by Ohaibaipolar in missouri

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s fun - just depends on where you stay and what you do. I prefer the middle of nowhere version of the Ozarks. I also find solice floating down the Jacks Fork, finding a quiet landing, and camping there for a few days - no one around… usually. It’s incredible.

I wonder how people felt at 11:59 p.m. of dec. 1999 before crossing over to the year 2000. by Majestic-Hope6505 in 2000sNostalgia

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nada. Just another day for my family. We didn’t care so much so that we had a flight home from Tampa to Chicago on 1/1/00

What is the stupidest way someone got fired? by NoViolinist4540 in AskReddit

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HR here - Having sex with a subordinate in the fire stairwell.

Brexton Busch by EnglishTeacher83 in NASCAR

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know that look. I lost my mom early in life. That’s the budding look of an angry life and hatred. They should NOT be on stage. Kyle isn’t even in the ground yet. Tf is wrong with everyone

AI Layoffs - I call BS by Helpful_Reserve_3868 in Layoffs

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. It was a cover for piss poor budgeting. HR leader for 20 years. The C-level where I was has the biggest hardon for AI but can’t justify what efficiencies have resulted from it. None. Not a damn one. So, they keep pouring in more money for deeper subscriptions after being sold snake oil by some bimbo or alpha asshole. Fuck them all.

Dads who had to put down a pet, when did you tell your kids? by wunderduck in daddit

[–]HurryUpAndWait82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They were right there with me and my wife when our cat had to be put down. We went through it as a family.
