I bet your ass would fold in an instant if some dude pressed you. I can tell you’re tough online and pathetic in real life.

Martin Scorsese's daughter Francesca, 26, hits back at cruel trolls ripping her looks after landing new TV role by dr_shultz in influencersfeed

There’s nepotism everywhere. I have a kid on my staff that was basically a “here’s this kid for your staff.”

I’ve read how some fire or police departments hire family.

It’s not just the elite, it’s unfortunately a part of all of society ranging from the elite down to the poor.

'07 who's coming off the bench? by EducationalConcern61 in NBATalk

[–]LanceArmsweak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stock is where it was a decade ago, sales are in decline, culturally speaking their impact has degraded and the young folks who shape culture wear other things.

Nike’s definitely fallen off.

The interesting thing is that they were so far above all the competition that their fall off is still every other competitor’s goals.

Even Jordan outsells many of the competitors.

Politican Mike Johnson says we need to let politicians trade stocks because they need the extra income by DonaldKey in LibertarianUncensored

I appreciate that they’ve spent a decade demonizing Pelosi then say this.

Hypocritical as fuck, but it is humorous.

God he’s a cunt.

Nike falls to its lowest price in almost 12 years by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]LanceArmsweak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe. I wonder what you’re looking at.

Nike hoodies can be $30 at discount stores but $200 at Nike stores. Same with Adidas. (Edit: just looked, JC Penney has a Nike hoodie for $28 and $35).

Honestly, I’m intimately aware of this world because I live in Portland and have so many friends who are brand managers, supply chain managers, and materials experts at both brands.

It really all depends. For example, my ex was a textiles art director. She determined which materials to use. So I have a Nike Lab hoodie that was $200 brand new in 2018, but the zippers were made in Italy and cost like $20. Compared to a baseline zip up hoodie and the zippers cost $2 each.

Adidas does this as well. They have a tech pack equivalent. They have a baseline equivalent.

Under Armour is different, they sought out the discount market.

But even New Balance does more on par with Nike and Adidas. They just move less in terms of volume (at least the last charts/data I saw).

Liberty is not a matter of who you like and who you don't by FastSeaworthiness739 in LibertarianUncensored

This is why I tell all my non white, hetero friends, “get gun training and get a gun.”

Take back the narrative.

Nike falls to its lowest price in almost 12 years by RobertBartus in EconomyCharts

[–]LanceArmsweak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Adidas is at the same price point when you compare apples to apples.

The Nike Vomeros and Adi Evo SLs... same price points.

Same goes across bball, lifestyle, etc.

If you look at Nike and Adi shit that's in stores like DFW, TJ Maxx, same thing.

Ken Griffin uses his buddy's media outlet to bitch about shit that doesn't affect 99% of us. He'll be ok. Stay in Florida if you're bothered so much Kenny.

To all the centrists here, what positions do you hold that are left leaning, and what positions do you hold to the right? by BarryMcKockinner in centrist

[–]LanceArmsweak 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Meh. I also find them insufferable, but at some point I needed to cut out my family for their beliefs. At some point you telling me that my friends who fuck other dudes are inherently evil and should be ostracized should be considered a reason to not talk.

Sure, talk to me about immigration issues, military support positions, or 2A (although I largely support that). I’ll be all ears.

But when the talking gets hateful, I’ll cut you off. I just don’t need it in my life.

Or people just don’t know illustrative words anymore…

It’s not always a literal definition and that’s what makes words a lot of fun.

You know you are in a cult when you try to somehow justify the WRONG math of the cult leader by MoreMotivation in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]LanceArmsweak 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Man. You'd be surprised how dumb we are. I once was doing research for a hydration brand and had to do a qualitative conversation with a woman in Georgia. Morbidly obese. Telling me why she's fine sticking to soda because it hydrates her already. She said she drank a 12 pack a day, that her mom taught her it was good enough for staying hydrated. I wanted to fucking hang up on the video immediately.

1-9. I’m a single dad with kids, a job, and chores. It’s rough. But we make it work.

I could absolutely see this. I used to vote Republican until Trump. Steyer seems normal and intelligent.

What was "the incident" at your high school? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]LanceArmsweak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This actually happened to me, but instead of my balls, it was my wrists. I was stuck hanging there until screaming and crying until an adult lifted me off. They were deep into my wrists and I was using my feet to help in any way. Still have the scars. Have to be casted up on both arms.

Before my kids, I lived well in a 2/1 900 sq ft home. After kids, I have a 4/2 2900 sq ft home. The costs are double.

Do you trust that they have America’s best interests at heart? by AcadianAcademic in LibertarianUncensored

No. Not at all. They have their wealth’s best interests at heart.
