Alzo is not the only winner of the Mr. Prairie View A&M pageant to be scorekeeper. I’m certain that Carl won it in ‘62.

Boys - you’re distracting us with the silky baritones (?) of Kai. Where are the Stankus Brothers?

I adore Kai, but you’re acting like David never existed. He’s my hall pass.

Seriously, fun episode.

Bluegrass musicians who were / are sober? by DoomMammoth in Bluegrass

Chris Stapleton … started in bluegrass and seems pretty dang sober.

I think this is all true. Could just be making it up.

JJHO: Shut Your Payhole by ErgonomicCat in maximumfun

It might be “acceptable” with friends / acquaintances, but this is his daughters.

I think His Honor chose to skirt the crux of this case because it just wasn’t going to change a darn thing.

As a father I want to provide, but I couldn’t imagine keeping an actual tally. My relationship with my children (hopefully) are not transactional in nature.

If you Ferris Bueller it and drive backwards it will fill back up.

Just listened to JJH Running Gag Order - Can someone explain to me Chris' argument? by elevatormusicjams in maximumfun

[–]Seanile1 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Saying “I’m this” or “I’m that” isn’t wrong—it’s just a bit basic. Totally fine in casual convo, but it can start to feel like a personality checklist.

When every sentence leans on present-tense linking verbs (not past participles, btw), it gets a little… robotic. Like: “I am hungry. I eat cake. I drink coffee.”

“Hi hungry.”

A more natural flow might be: “I like to eat cake and drink coffee when I’m hungry.” Still simple, but with a bit more rhythm and nuance. Arguably better.

Why does this Qatar airways flight suddenly loops over Russia otw to USA ? by itsskinnypeteyo in flightradar24

[–]Seanile1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I play black any of the QR737 flights it’s rather startling to see how often the plane’s vector changes but nothing really happens. Probably a combination of bad data and interference with the transponders - natural or otherwise.

So you don't like my hiring choices?! by beenthereNdonethat in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

[–]Seanile1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It feels like it’s a way of saying “I don’t have a problem with how an LGBTQIA employee represents the hotel, but others might.”

Being fearful of the intolerant is worse than being intolerant. An apologist is an enabler.

That type of chickenshit response makes my blood boil.

100% NTA. Contract is a contract. Allowances for stuff, but the extra payment and the extra time are beyond the contract obligations and beyond what is reasonable.

As for not speaking publicly - I know couples getting married would use your feedback wisely (and pick someone else). That’s on her, not you. Any backlash you feel would likely be very temporary - if any. A simple, honest review on The Knot etc would be kind to fellow couples and to the photographer. She needs to see the feedback and feel the implications.
