But you still didn't even attempt to answer the question. Just a gotcha.
I don’t have an answer or a gotcha. Just trying to help you out.

The internal battle boomers have re claiming the halcyon days of 60s-80s and claiming they walked barefoot to school in 98 degree weather is always funny
I’m early Gen X, thankfully. I hate to see the shite that boomers get today, though. I feel like they were just doing the best they could for themselves and their families, and younger generations today bash them for it.
I had a 2003 Frontier with the 3.3L six cylinder. Loved the truck. Timing belt issue killed it. My mechanic said that it was a common issue with that engine.
I started seeing London Fog stuff show up in outlet stores and the like around 20 years ago.

My brother had a receipt from like 1980. 1 quarter was like under $300. Wanna say something like $240-260 or something like that.
I clearly remember that in the Spring semester of 1986 at Southeastern my total tuition and fees for 15 hours as a commuter were $444.

Since when did taking ones shirt off(what violence!) warrant a season suspension?
In today’s culture, to my understanding, if you’re really angry at someone and take your shirt off, it means one thing.
I get that he regrouped quickly and gathered the clothing that he’d shed, but grow the F up a bit.

Locally, the demand for mail carriers is up there with the demand for substitute teachers. You’re not getting high character individuals in most cases.
Someone has some nasty shite on Thune.

And where is Somalia? Oh, yeah. Africa.
Was the USA also built by Hondurans AND Latinos?

College was $1500 a quarter in the 80s also
First in my family to receive a Bachelor’s degree. My parents didn’t contribute one red cent to the cost. I did it with student loans (which I’ve long paid back) and Pell Grants.

Car guys: best, most dependable engine Nissan has made this century?
Posted by High C on 4/18/26 at 1:34 pm
I’m looking for a cheap old beater, no urgency. I’d love to get an old XTerra or Frontier, but I don’t know much about good/bad Nissan engines.
Any info (except Altima jokes) is appreciated.

re: VIDEO: Central baseball coach suspended by LHSAA after stripping incident

Over a close play at first in a non-district, regular season game. :lol:
I coached high school baseball for 16 years, and, unfortunately, these “types” are pretty common in the baseball coaching ranks.

Having grown up in the 70’s and 80’s myself, with my own kids in their 20’s and early 30’s now, I can see both sides.
Today’s younger generations just have higher expectations for their transportation and housing because that’s what they grew up with. My kids grew up in a 3200 sq ft home, BUT my wife and I both had full time+ jobs, we drove cheap vehicles, and we had big credit card debt.
In the 70’s and 80’s, I spent the majority of my youth living in an 800 sq ft mobile home or the 1000 sq ft home of my grandparents. We moved all over the place and spent several years living in that 1000 sq ft home with 11 people and one bathroom. We really never complained because we never created the expectations that my kids have.

Just finished Haunted. I really drug through it because it never clicked. Basically 400+ pages of a writer trying to gross me out.

re: Standardized testing in schools

Standardized Test create a whole school year pointed towards teaching to the test. It is one of the thousands of things in education that sound good in theory but don't work in practicality.
30 years in a public school classroom and this is the biggest issue. Test scores have become the be-all end-all of public education and it shouldn’t be that way.
They would be more effective in monitoring learning if the students were actually held accountable for their own scores in some way. Many years ago in Louisiana it was determined that “high stakes” testing was too stressful and created too much anxiety for these babies, so they can basically blow the tests off with no repercussions. How can it be an effective tool to measure learning when the only ones accountable for student progress are the teachers?

To scrap it? No
To criticize it? Somewhat. There are biases and the tests can always be improved.
Piss off, Sir Know-It-All. You’re out of your lane. I know that’s never bothered you before, just a little heads up.
I think French authorities have come out and called his actions barbaric. Rape our women and children all you want, but hands off the goats and sheep, you barbarian.

We so racist we allow black dudes as dumb as this bitch to lead our cities.
I pay no attention to the terms “racist” or “racism” anymore. Blacks and white progressives have applied it to anything and everything that they claim not to want or like.
We’ve reached a point where black people have chosen to predicate their entire existence on being victims. How do you ever improve your lot in life if you’re always the victim?
