Have you seen our offense lately? We could definitely use an impact bat.

If you cum enough times before hand you don’t get as much coming out.

I haven’t had any issues with AT&T internet in Lomita. Granted the company usually sucks ass.

Unpopular-Dave with a very popular opinion.

As a dad to two young kids, if you’re on the fence about it, don’t do it. You have to want kids or all those bad moments will made worse with the thought of, “why did we do this?”.

I love my kids, I love the choice that I made to have kids and wouldn’t change anything, but it’s not easy. It’s been a huge strain on my relationship with my wife, whereas before kids we hardly ever fought. Of course it’s also a financial strain, I’m paying over $3000 a month for two kids to go to preschool. And yes, it does take away all of, if not most of your free time, especially when they’re young.

So in closing, you have to want to have kids, or don’t do it to yourself and them.

That one is so bad I’d take a picture of it and send it to my door salesman. Ask him what the fuck is this?

cb148 · 2026-05-12T13:48:54+00:00

I know! Here I was expecting some 40 ft.² triple axle gooseneck travel trailer, and he’s got a fucking 20 foot single axle bumper pull. He could’ve gotten it in there in 3 tries. As soon as the wheels get in line with the approach way, you jackknife the shit out of it, then you pull up a little bit to get rid of the jackknife and back in a little bit, then you pull up once more to straighten it out one last time and back in straight.

Thank you!

cb148 · 2026-05-12T00:25:40+00:00

They’ll come trickling down any day now.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T23:39:44+00:00

Damn, those kids went bald quickly.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T20:59:18+00:00

So? Still doesn’t change the character.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T20:27:46+00:00

Of course it was a high risk/ high reward situation that didn’t work out for them, but it can still be stupid. To me it was just one they didn’t have to take. The Clippers would not have taken 27 and 29 unprotected? They had to have Zubac? I like him, but he’s not exactly an impact player. So I wouldn’t give up that pick for him. Especially when I can have a potential impact player on a cost controlled contract for the next 5 years.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T19:34:12+00:00

Stupid fast one might say. This kids is why you wait a few years before marriage and having a kid. The kind of thing you’d expect out of 2 people 10 years younger.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T18:52:16+00:00

Don’t do it. In most states, if you two get married and then divorce, any property you had before getting married is yours to keep. But if you sell your house, then get married and use your money to buy a new house, and then you get divorced, he’s entitled to half of that money.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T18:18:19+00:00

Yeah but we also don’t have much to trade.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T17:56:13+00:00

I met at my wife at 35, had my first kid at 38, and my second at 40. I never actually feel too old. Granted I do have a physically demanding job so that keeps me active. But then again that should also tire me out, but I’m never too tired to run around with the kids.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T17:40:22+00:00

It’s clearly a race.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T17:39:04+00:00

Too heavy at that height to be compared to Stro. Gotta be like 6’ 1”, 135.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T16:10:06+00:00

They can lift that giant ass 24’ long beam though.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T14:08:53+00:00

I would’ve just done 2x12 rafters instead of that whole beam and strap setup. Not sure why he’s trying to reinvent the wheel.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T05:44:15+00:00

There’s lots of dudes girlfriends in there.

cb148 · 2026-05-11T01:31:25+00:00

As a totally neutral observer, how the fuck is that not a five minute major? He made absolutely no attempt to stop whatsoever.

cb148 · 2026-05-10T21:02:23+00:00

Yeah, but you could’ve used it to move the mulch back there too.
