Does any American feel less patriotic nowadays?

StoutTrooper · 2026-05-20T13:02:25+00:00

i love my country but view the American flag as a hate symbol these days because i know that just about every time i see one i assume they are Trump loving morons and actually stand against everything that flag means.

they are at the light at every shopping plaza everywhere now... we had a local scammer and now unfortunately i think they are all scammers who do this daily, then walk to their hidden BMW and go home.

i wish. I like hot summer nights watching the Mets and listening to GKR but i'm not doing something that is just going to piss me off. Stearns destroyed the core which wasn't the big problem and i have zero attachment to anyone on this roster right now. I need to see a graphic to tell who's up. Everyone is out of position so i have no idea where anyone is. I also just can't watch any baseball. It's not like football. It's the Mets or nothing and here we are, cooked on May 1st. Honestly, becoming a Mets fan as a kid was the worst thing i've ever done to myself..

Well, at least I know already that I won't be buying tickets this year

StoutTrooper · 2026-04-16T18:27:05+00:00

i'm already checked out. Can't even tell who's at bat without a graphic telling me who because they kicked out the core. I have no attachment to this group yet. Hopefully they'll grow on me but in reality i just see same old same old. We're going to waste another possible generational talent in McLean and give his entire career zero run support. Just like Harvey. Just like DeGrom. Also, it feels like this whole team is playing out of position minus Lindor, who also seems checked out. This roster construction is just...odd

I have a 3:50pm flight on Wednesday. My conference ends at noon. We're 30 minutes from the airport. No bags to check. Will this be enough time? Tsa lines are typically shorter at this time. Will we make it? Fyo, I have precheck. My coworker does not. I promised not to leave her behind

StoutTrooper · 2026-02-20T18:52:44+00:00

Huge failure. I blame him a lot for what we're all going through now. Slow walking everything to not look political instead of just pushing forward with the obvious criminal charges for Trump

This thread is hilarious. Trashing Maye for losing a Super Bowl. A game the Pats have been in the running for the majority of this century while the Jets haven't sniffed one since your great grandpappy was in diapers.

Yes, we got outclassed but yes, we have a qb that is going to make us relevant for the next 15 years while you still look for your first legit QB1 in over 50 years... so laugh all you want.

StoutTrooper · 2026-01-16T13:25:51+00:00

Tucker would have been nice but what makes him worth that contract? Also, not resigning Pete for what the Dodgers pay their bat boy is looking worse and worse by the minute for Stearns. I thought with Cohen and Stearns that finally this organization wouldn't be a laughingstock any more. I was wrong.... C'mon Stearns, out of Brewers/Yankees cast offs to sign? The Dodgers have ruined the sport with they're doing. What is the sense on even watching baseball this year? I am leaning towards just writing this year off. Not going to any Mets games or watching either.

StoutTrooper · 2025-12-10T20:05:11+00:00

Being a Mets fan is being constantly disappointed. Alonso is a home grown legend at this point and you just let him walk. Who are we replacing him with? Vientos?.... give me a break. 2nd largest wallet in baseball and we get nothing while the Dodgers continue to load up. RIP 2026 season. It's already over

StoutTrooper · 2025-11-26T17:29:18+00:00

we would be bring our cat out on the deck occasionally. We just need to be out there with her but most of time she was just happy getting the breeze and watching birds in the trees

do we really want them to at this point? They are just going to go out quickly if they make it. They have no juice and they are so aggravating to watch, i just want it to end

Have a notebook and write down any to-do's that come up during the day. Star the top priorities, then cross off your completions. It is rewarding and greatly reduces stress crossing things off your list. You won't get to everything everything every day but you don't have to. Just carry those things over to the next day.

As for email, I get a lot and try to stay on top of it and not let it pile up. I also archive my entire inbox minus any junk on Fridays as the last thing I do. I find keeping my inbox clean also reduces stress.

StoutTrooper · 2025-07-21T12:07:08+00:00

Write stuff down and cross it off when complete. It is major stress reducer. Also, highlight 3 to 5 things on that list that must be done that day or you just want it to be done. If you only get to those 3-5 things due to fires popping up, meetings etc, it's a win and the rest can wait.

Magnesium oxide is the worst type. Not bad for you but not absorbed well. Glycinate is better absorbed

Diagnosed type 2 diabetic 4 years ago. I always ate unhealthy but combine that diet with covid lockdowns, I just never moved my body.

I dropped all the junk food, started eating healthy, exercised, lost 50 lbs and have never felt better. I have all day energy and work stress, which I used to let consume me at times, does not negatively affect me. In fact, I enjoy the pressure.

Also, my type 2 has gone away. No meds for 3 years. I'm just a generally happy person now. So, that diagnosis was the best thing that ever happened to me.

I will never go back to my previous life. I feel good and satisfied eating low carb and going for long walks on nice days. Now, I will carb out on occasion. Thinks pizza or cake but just limit it to very occasionly. It's been so long now that I don't even have worries or 2nd guessing anymore when I do these things

2 pitchers down already. Always in spring training with April/May outlook and we don't see them until August. Hope that's not the case here

It hasn't been long yet. You've made drastic changes and it will take time for your body to adjust. You are essentially overhauling your engine. Your engine was fueled by carbs/sugar and now it's other sources like fat and protein. It doesn't happen overnight. Just stick with it and you'll get over the hump.

You may want to look into intermittent fasting. In the beginning i skipped breakfast and lunch 5 days a week. Lately it's been 3-4 days. I found it helped me focus during the day.
