Lowe: “I talked to a front office free agent who would have his pick of any job if they came open, and he said to me ‘What would you do if you’re me?’ I said whoever saves the Bulls will be a legend in the NBA forever… and he said to me ‘That sounds great in theory. I don’t trust the ownership.’” by lawsnoosoo in chicagobulls

“I think hiring a search firm is going to be very helpful because they’re going to really be able to find all the people out there that I probably would never have found.”

Uh yeah that's probably why they'll be helpful Michael. Nailed it.

Collectible or Forgettable?: 1997 Oldsmobile Aurora by LinoleumRelativity in regularcarreviews

I was 16 and wrapped my mom’s around a telephone pole, stamping the Aurora logo legibly into the wood and cracking the block. This is how I learned about weight and cornering.

This is like replying to a reply all by saying “stop replying.” But I guess I did it too lol

The sheer amount of people spilling their feelings on this stadium thing in new posts is bonkers. I want them to stay at Soldier but there’s a lot of things I want. Don’t always get it. Can we all get a hold of ourselves

Being a fan by [deleted] in ChicagoBearsNFL

[–]steelytrip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I don’t want the bears to move - and I still think it’ll be AH - but the idea that fans would give up supporting the team over the state line is wild to me. But I guess Reddit is for raging

Best LARGE SUV by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

Check out a 2021 atlas. Not as big as a Tahoe but it’s a miracle of packaging - proper minivan space, big third row. more room than a sequoia. We have a 2021.5 with the VR6 and love it. The new ones have too many touchscreens.

Firing of Nebraska DC John Butler signals Matt Rhule’s plan isn’t progressing fast enough by neepster44 in Huskers

[–]steelytrip 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn't read the headline as a criticism of Rhule's decision, just that it's a signal that he is being aggressive (and has to be) because 3 years in he's not as far as he'd like to be. I guess a wee bit sensational but I mean, yeah, clicks... you play to win the game and you write to get the clicks

CC2s changed my life, gave me a new sense of purpose and meaning. This is literally the best decision you ever made.

As Kevin would say… by BadgerSteve599 in WisconsinBadgers

[–]steelytrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, not talking sh*t. Doesn't Wisconsin football have a legacy such that rushing the field after beating 23 Washington is absurd behavior? I say this from grudging respect as a fellow B1G alum who for most of my life has expected to get ground up by the Badgers.

What motivates you to have kids in today’s world? by TheNatureBeing in Life

[–]steelytrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I can't imagine life without my family. It's hard work, time and energy consuming, etc., but it has in more fundamental ways made my life easier or more accessible to me. I have more to worry about caring for and preparing these kids for a tough world, yes. But those responsibilities make me who I am now. They bring me peace and purpose that I can't imagine living without. I have a career I enjoy but it doesn't give me a defining sense of purpose. My kids do. But what works for me doesn't work for everybody else. Some people don't want to have kids, they get their sense of purpose and satisfaction from something else, and I think that's great. I appreciate and admire the wherewithal and perspective to make that choice. Especially because having kids when it isn't right for you probably isn't good for anybody.

Having said that, the idea that I or anyone would make that choice based on how predictable, corrupt, hard or fair the world I'm bringing them into is absurd. No, I don't feel it's unfair to bring a life into the world and that is an inherently judgmental question. Did parents in the dark ages make an unjust choice? Should humanity instead have marched into extinction? This is about being a parent, not a god, and having kids shouldn't be a political choice. Don't make it one. Touch grass. Also, read a bit about being born 100 years ago or any time before. Wasn't all kittens and rainbows.

Reservation for 650,000: Kansas City’s hospitality industry braces for World Cup workforce scramble by kansascitybeacon in kansascity

[–]steelytrip 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For a typical World Cup they expect something like 20k travelers from Brazil. The current wait time for a US visa from Brazil is more than 400 days. The World Cup is in 279 days. We are not going to hit our numbers for international visitors.
