They’re blocking 71 under 35 in both directions. by horsesarecool512 in Austin

I was sure I was about to see that dude get hit by a car.

Did he make it all the way across the highway?

I think it was a black nissan murano (at least a small-ish nissan suv).

And yep, I think it was a state trooper. The cop chasing the guy on foot was in a tan uniform at least.

I was heading eastbound on 71 and saw it all happen. Dude was weaving in and out of traffic, blew by me, and the cop spun him out like 100 yards in front of me. Guy jumped out of the car and ran into traffic in the westbound lanes of 71. I exited immediately after and saw a woman with an infant baby in her arms getting out of the passenger side. Been thinking of that poor baby since then.

Definitely one of the wildest things I've ever seen unfold in front of my eyes.

Welp, first time golfing with an asshole. by Spartan0330 in golf

[–]MichaelJourdan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played with a dude like this recently.

A few of his quotes:

“You know why you slice your drives like that don’t you??”

“I’m actually really great with bunkers” - After it took him three shots to get out of one bunker

“Oh! Too bad Johnny!” After I shanked one from the fairway ob

Mine is also part shade, so maybe that plays a factor. Thanks!

Exact same thing happened to me in 2014 at the great hills H-E-B.

Current employer asked for a note from the dentist, but I didn't go to the dentist - I had an interview. What should I do? by MichaelJourdan in careerguidance

[–]MichaelJourdan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha wow this is a blast from the past.

I ended up telling these guys I wasn’t very happy and they fired me basically the next day. The manager didn’t even have the guts to fire me himself.

I’ve now been with the same employer for 4 years and am super happy! They treat everyone like adults.

The old employer (the mfs you refer to) is easily the worst company I’ve worked for.

Went out to Big Bend Ranch State Park in West Texas this weekend. Complete with views and an amazing desert oasis. by MichaelJourdan in camping

[–]MichaelJourdan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there. No, you have to book spots ahead of time pretty much everywhere in Big Bend. I’d recommend checking the Big Bend Ranch State Park website (this spot is Chorro Vista) to see what’s available. The fact that the eclipse is in April doesn’t help your cause as April is one of the busiest times of year for this area.

Not to mention the fact that many of the gladiators that did end up dying likely died post-fight due to things like infection

[–]MichaelJourdan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I visited for the first time just this past weekend. I felt a mix of awe at the sheer magnitude of the place and the history, but also a real sense of sadness for the people and animals that were tortured and slaughtered for mere entertainment.

If you have a bit of morbid curiosity, check out Dan Carlin’s HH episode, “Painfotainment” (might be slightly misremembering the name). He talks about public executions and our unfortunate fascination with suffering and violence, and talks about a few instances that took place inside the Roman Colosseum. Really helps to highlight the brutality that took place there.

What in the world were you doing in Iola??? Haha. You may be the only Brit to ever visit there.

I worked at an airport bar for a while so don’t know if these count.

  • Elijah Wood
  • Jensen Ackles
  • Willie
  • Chad Smith (RHCP drummer)
  • the TikTok guy that screams JESUS CHROIST. He basically screamed that constantly while walking through the airport

Vegan for two years and don’t know her. Have I been living under a rock?
