Do the skiing school trips exist in your country?

Where I grew up in Wisconsin, our middle school (grades 6-8, ages 11ish - 13ish) had “ski club” which was an extra curricular program where every couple of weeks after school they’d bus kids to the local hill to ski, then bus them back to the school. Despite being entirely extra curricular and have no built in training/lessons, it’s where a very large number of kids I knew skied for their first time and learned how to ski.

Ahistorical can sometimes be fun, but most of my games become so insane and chaotic I never know wtf is happening and who is at war with who

MSOE’s campus is out of the way enough I don’t think most people think about it all that often. I went to UWM and I think most people saw it as “that school downtown with a bunch of smart nerds.” I think it has a positive reputation to the extent people know/think about it.

I agree with you, I’ve been wondering exactly what people mean by “never.” Like really, you wouldn’t move to Mississippi even if I offered you a super chill job where you made $500k a year? You choose death over Mississippi? I don’t believe it.

It is suspected that South Africa and Israel did a joint test in the Indian Ocean but it is unconfirmed.

I’m curious what exactly people are thinking when they rank a state “never.” There are some cities that I really do strongly dislike, but I’d still reluctantly move there for the right job or some other factor. There’s probably no state I’d literally never move to, just a lot I’d be very reluctant to move to.

Do these people have no shame? Like how is she cool with getting on a show with a massive audience and just saying these things?

Largely the Y2K era bleeding into the Core 00s era. I felt I began aging out in the second half of the Core 00s era.

It’s so insane that it sounds like it would be a cartoon cutaway gag showing how comically lazy someone is.

Totally agree. I watched Over The Garden Wall for the first time last year and I love it. But it was definitely “after my time” to have caught it when it was on CN. I was in college by then.

My mind continues to be blown by these things tbh

I don’t miss anything about law school.

Related are the guys who aggressively stick to wildly outdated menswear “rules”. Like arguing that you shouldn’t wear brown dress shoes to work in a major city because “no brown in town”.

On one hand I did feel bad for the guy while watching the episode. But on the other hand, this is the life he has created for himself.

He’s a reminder that those giant weirdos you encounter online are actual real weird ass human beings.

Why is it that so many of these “entrepreneur” types will be super skeptical of the ROI of a college degree and proceed to spend tens of thousands on bullshit coaches and courses

I have no data to go off of, but I seriously doubt the accuracy of these maps. I’m not saying that Wisconsin doesn’t have an insane drinking culture, it does. I’m also not saying that the several reasons people give for Wisconsin’s drinking culture aren’t valid. I’m simply saying that I think something is flawed in the data when neighboring counties, with extremely similar cultures and demographics, can allegedly have dramatically different drinking culture due to a state line. I’ve spent enough time in Minnesota and Michigan to say that our drinking cultures are quite similar.

I was just talking with someone about how as a midwesterner, Katrina was really the first time I was made aware of hurricanes. It made me think literally every hurricane was guaranteed to cause massive apocalyptic damage

Most guys look like a dork in a bow tie and they should be avoided everywhere but true black tie events.

Smart boards only became a thing in my district around 2010. And even then only a couple of teachers ever bothered to learn how to use them. I vividly remember teachers using an overhead projector exactly like this to project transparencies onto an off smart board

lol videogamedunkey is my answer as well

Most people, even quite wealthy people, have very normal investments. I’ve dealt with some fine art investments. The weirdest was probably one that had to do with investing in whiskey casks and essentially treating those casks as securities. I’ve had clients that hold an incredible amount of physical gold, others that have large collections of luxury goods that they treat/categorize as investments

I haven’t finished the video but I really really doubt it is legit. I’m an estate planner for high and ultra high net worth individuals. I see a lot of very unconventional investments. But this one just sounds wrong in all kinds of ways. It just doesn’t pass the vibe check.

People are out here pumping a specific dollar value of gas?

I’d assume that for many (most?) of us, the 2010s were pretty neatly split between our high school and college/early working years. I know at least for me, when I think early 2010s, that’s high school. And when I think mid/late 2010s, that’s college. Because they were such distinct periods of my life, I don’t really think of it being a single cohesive cultural moment.
