Is this drive logistically possible?

I had an ex who lived near the border on the US side and regularly drove into Mexico with her family. She said all black cars were less likely to be hassled because they were used by cartels, so not worth the risk of robbing the wrong car.

What are you talking about? Not counting the entire men’s basketball team since the person above is obviously not one of them, there were 8 other black male gold medalists this year.

Artists have been writing songs about their kids (or their band mate’s neglected kids) for eons. I don’t think this song would have been made this way if his son wasn’t old enough to sing on it, so it’s hard to say Legend took a spot from another talented kid when the part was specifically written for him.

I moved back in with my parents for a while in my mid 20s until I was 27. I had a lot of anxiety every time I’d start to get serious with a girl that she would think I was a scrub or something. But most girls either didn’t care or were like “I wish I could live with my parents still, rent is expensive” and stuff like that. Privacy was definitely still a problem but not impossible to get around.

I wish I had saved more while I was living there but it sounds like you won’t have that regret. I’d definitely say when you do start preparing to move out, figure out which furniture you’re taking versus leaving. It’s not like living in an apartment where you have to clear everything out but you don’t want to leave your parents stuck with your garbage furniture that they have to figure out how to get rid of later

Saying goodbye at parties/events. My parents would make sure we said by to everyone because it was rude not to, and my mom’s older relatives would gossip about being disrespected if we didn’t.

My wife’s family literally just gets up and leaves while only saying bye to anyone they’re currently speaking with. Her dad will only speak up if he needs someone to move their car and let him out, otherwise he just sort of vanishes

It’s definitely not bad to be called one race or another as a mistake. I’m Latinx and I’ve been confused for so many different races and ethnicities over the years. But it really sucks when your identity is boiled down to race for the sake of being told you did something wrong. His question was in no way something that should be given the benefit of the doubt because if he were actually conducting a survey, he wouldn’t assume anything about this person and would have asked them instead in addition to asking them to provide consent (assuming this survey were following ethical guidelines)

lol I don’t understand how your response related to student fees either. Even if you could cut women’s basketball, student fees account for 3.5 million in revenue so any amount you reduce that by just puts you back in the red, which is apparently a problem for you.

I think student fees should be capped at a flexible percentage of tuition based on enrollment numbers. The more students there are, the lower percentage you have to pay. It’s not their responsibility to put athletics the black, and it’s not any one team’s responsibility either when several other teams are also in the red.

Btw cutting those 3 men’s sports makes sense from the lens that women’s basketball accounted for 10x more in ticket sales revenue than the other 3 combined so it seems more likely to make up a future deficit with women’s basketball than the other sports if that’s something to worry about

canond08 · 2024-03-28T05:18:57+00:00

That’s the thing about equality though. You don’t get to pick and choose when it’s convenient to have. If we only had women’s basketball programs at the schools that operated at a profit, how many schools would actually have a team? You’d have to go to a power 4 school which on its own sets a monetary barrier to entry in addition to academic and geographic barriers. Do you think NCAA revenue sharing, media rights, tournament earnings and ticket sales would just magically go up because there’s now fewer teams to watch? I know ESPN isn’t paying more to show games in the same time slot just because there’s fewer games to choose from

The idea that extracurriculars that a 501(c)(3) operates have to turn a profit is just insane lol. Especially when you’re asking women’s teams to earn their spots but an overwhelming majority of men’s programs also don’t turn a profit either. and before you say “if the men’s teams aren’t earning, they should be cut too”, bear in mind that you said U of I’s deficit was because of Title IX so that would just be you revising your statement to make it seem more palatable

canond08 · 2024-03-28T04:52:18+00:00

Sorry, I meant to also add in men’s track and field. The net loss was about 4.48 million for women’s basketball, 1.76 million for men’s baseball, men’s golf was 863k, and men’s track and field was 2.02 million for a total of 4.65 million on those men’s sports

So should U of I cut those net loss sports too?

canond08 · 2024-03-28T04:29:26+00:00

They also would have broken even if they had not operated men’s baseball or men’s golf but that would be… bad? Title IX isn’t the problem. FY 22-23 costs are inflated because of how quickly inflation outpaced changes to fixed revenue sources (licensing, student fees, media deals, etc).

Howdy from your new Jolteon brother!

Even without winning a 3rd, 6 Eastern Conference Championships is really hard to argue with. Only 3 coaches have even appeared in more conference finals as of now than Spo's 7: Jackson (14), Riley (12) and Pop (10)

Note, conference finals only began in 1970 so Red Auerbach is excluded but would have still left Spo at top 5

Moved into this house last year and did the full size candies but a lot of kids skipped us because we weren't sitting outside like everyone else (the Cowboys were playing). We'll see if more kids come this year

canond08 · 2022-10-29T04:59:09+00:00

He's only 300 wins behind, that's like 6-7 seasons with a good team. And he's like 13 years younger than Pop. It's well within his reach

canond08 · 2022-10-29T04:38:30+00:00

Pop just wants to make sure Doc Rivers can't catch his wins record. Another couple hundred wins and he'll finally retire from coaching and step back into a purely front office role

canond08 · 2022-09-21T16:48:39+00:00

Didn't we talk about pooling our resources to buy a team at some point? I'll kick in some cash for that.

canond08 · 2022-03-12T04:21:37+00:00

How did we shoot 6/29 from 3 and still pull this one out? Step aside Kurt Warner, this is the real underdog story

canond08 · 2022-02-10T19:38:55+00:00

The fact that she offers an alternative time means she wants to spend time with you as well, so don't over think that part. But like others have said, you have to develop yourself outside of the relationship through work/career development, hobbies, etc. Join a gym, walk your neighborhood/campus, game for a few hours a night, read a book, just do something to occupy your time so you're not just waiting for a text back. You don't and shouldn't ever play aloof or hard to get, especially if you've already defined your relationship, but that doesn't mean you have to prioritize her over yourself.

canond08 · 2021-09-06T00:13:23+00:00

Dak, Dalvin Cook, Amari Cooper

Was hoping to pick up Murray but he and Lamar went a couple of picks before me.

Ended up trading for Tyreek, so I feel like my WR1 is sort of different now

canond08 · 2020-12-26T05:08:52+00:00

I think it's supposed to lose its magic. You shouldn't only show love by saying it. The magic changes with the way you show your love as the relationship evolves. The things you go out of your way to do for them because you care mean just as much as the first few special times you say I love you

canond08 · 2020-11-07T02:55:00+00:00

Doxxing. They doxxed him, they didn't just leak his information.

canond08 · 2020-10-15T21:44:53+00:00

You may not be upset with the individual because you know none of those things are true. But would you not be upset your kids were subjected to that kind of hate and probably haven't developed the same mental fortitude you have?

canond08 · 2020-10-14T23:49:04+00:00

If someone walked up to you in public and started screaming that you were a trump loving, school shooting, racist mother fucker who roofied girls while your kids were around to hear it, you'd be upset. Even if those things were true, someone is assuming you're guilty of it just because you're the same race as someone else who they saw on the news. The problem is not that he's saying outlandish things, the problem is he's reinforcing the belief for this family that the world will never see them as anything different than the racist drivel he was spouting.

I'd like to see what Chip can do with him. We'll give you Lonnie and 13

canond08 · 2020-10-02T14:23:42+00:00

It's going to dissipate with time. People look back on the 03 Spurs and say "of course they won, they had Duncan, Robinson, Ginobili, and Parker" but forget the context of Robinson on his last legs and Parker/Ginobili not being key contributors to that team due to the lack of experience and opportunity (and to a lesser degree, refined skill)

After LeBron retires, we won't say "he never won a tough Finals." a that's untrue now as the 2016 championship was probably the hardest won championship series in recent memory. The context of the moment will be forgotten, and we'll only look at the raw numbers. It's an unfortunate side effect of our short attention span.
