RANT: Sailing An Ocean of Bud Light Lime

[im2manly]

Male perverts and flipflopping Bruce Jenners aside, on a serious note it dawned on me that a father alone with his young daughter(s) in a public place has to lurk outside the women's restroom like a freak.

Mothers obviously don't have this problem. With a daughter it's a non issue and they won't think twice about taking their son into the women's restroom.

Yea, that is a good point about the daughters. Wasn't even thinking about that. I guess i just invision the scenario that Curt Schilling raised.

DE blade reviews are pointless

everyone's face will prefer a different brand of sharpness

that's why DE variety packs exist, so you can find out what works best for you

[Dominik]

That's tough, we try to go places that we know have the family restrooms when we go out without mama.

That's the option I've used where it's available but when it's not I can see it'll be an awkward situation.

In other news, it's the first time I've successfully fcked up ordering on Amazon. Didn't do my research. Saw a better product a day later but the horse has bolted. It's already shipping. Cost of item is $260 and $60 of that is shipping. Combined with the cost of shipping it back I might be better off just selling it.

Curt Schilling is an idiot and a bigoted, pathetic moron. He makes me sorry that I ever rooted for him every time he opens his mouth and spews out the half-formed idiotic diarrhea that are his thoughts.

Rule of thumb: If Curt Schilling says something, it's almost always wrong.

Wasn't aware. Now aware.

Strange world we live in these days. You either fall into line with the opinion held by the majority and is PC, or lose your job, get dropped by sponsors, burned at the stake, etc.

If you're in the public eye it's a lot safer to avoid social media altogether.

[therorschach]

If I see a tranny blowing a goose in the restroom, I'm not really concerned. I just need to piss and get back to the sports match. However, if I walk in and see someone shaving with an unconfirmed DE blade that I am not familiar with, I am calling the police.

Yes, it's a travesty that a public figurehead was fired after comparing Muslims to Nazis, calling Obama the antichrist and Hillary Clinton a murderer, as well as posting multiple stupid memes about black people, trans people, people who are sane enough to not believe in Creationism, etc. What kind of PC world do we live in where someone could get fired for these transgressions after repeatedly being asked to stop? Won't someone think of the children?

[im2manly]

Apparently not

I ate like 11.2 ounces of chicken.

Don't get your cape in a bunch.

I wasn't specifically talking about him and I don't follow baseball or his commentary — I was referring to the way people on social media go on a witch hunt in an attempt to destroy anyone who shows insensitivity or shares a contrasting opinion.

News sites then cherrypick the loudest "tweets" and turn it into a story. An apology is demanded. Sponsors distances themselves. It's become a soft ass precious little world if you ask me, which of course you didn't.

People with lower IQs tend to compartmentalize things as good/bad and other generic categories and fit them into the same little box in their head without any recognition or realization of how different or contrasting such items may be. Once it's been poured and molded into that little box it hardens and stays like cement. When someone says Hitlery, or compares Sanders to the derogatory slang abbreviation of the former National Socialist German Workers' Party, I know I'm dealing with mortar brains that's going to be an easy sell and I bring out the applications and start calculating the commissions in my head.

Too hot for the cape today. If I weren't concerned about my taint, I would have biked au naturale.

[theshoupguy]

Is this rant thread seriously almost a year old? What is wrong with you people?

These two questions are unrelated.

[theshoupguy]

Also Farles, if you're confident you can run Battlefield 1 on your new lappytoppy, you might as well pick up Witcher 3.

[theshoupguy]

Also the bathroom debate is dumb and politics are dumb, and people spending more than a few minutes thinking about either need to rethink their priorities in life.

[theshoupguy]

Also I spent $20 five years ago for a beard trimmer.

Haven't bought a single razor since.

Getcha beards ready

I've never had a ward trimmer last that long, tell me your secrets!

[theshoupguy]

I only trim it every few months.

Charge dies out after that trim, and I charge it back up the morning/day before I plan on cleaning the beard up.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[theshoupguy]

The single player / campaign of the new DOOM is super f**kin' fun. Combat and graphics feel up to the level of the Wolfenstein reboot. Really, really solid and enjoyable.

The multiplayer still sucks though, just like the beta.

This has been a demon-blasting report.

[medjen]

They are both related and unrelated, I think. Though you can take the second one in a broader context.

That's all well and good and until one day you break from your little video games to grill a man size slab of meat only to find your big beautiful Georgia backyard being infested by commies.

The problem with not thinking too much about politics...it's politics that decide whether doing something is 100% lawful and commonplace, or can cause armed government employees to take you away and lock you in prison for years. And of course, how much of your money is taken from you.

Small example: Somebody my wife's company was about to hire got dropped because he tested positive for THC in his pre-employment drug screen. He lives in Colorado.

Not a lot anyone could do at that point though, huh

O & Farles, you'll be pleased to know Hayne's NFL experiment is over.

Looks like he was tired of doing nothing and playing for peanuts on a crappy team. Wants to play Rugby 7s at the Olympics and return home to rugby league.

At least the guy will get the ball now.

Cliffs: NFL is much harder than it looks and he wasn't good enough to be an elite RB without going through college, etc.

lol I didn't care so much as I thought it was funny people were going crazy over some backup who never did anything at all.

The NFL looks pretty hard, it being harder than it looks is still probably accurate though

I wanted him to do well but never expected him to make the roster. He did that but clearly wasn't ready for prime time.

Running style was too upright, there was too much hype and pressure from the Australian press, and he couldn't get his head around the playbook. He was trying too hard to impress and that resulted in dropping the ball. With less hype he could have played it safe.

There are a handful of freaks who could walk into almost any sport and do well but he wasn't one of them.

I could see J.J. Watt and Gronk being devastating in rugby with minimal knowledge of the game just because of their size and strength but that's probably not going to be the case for someone like Brady or Rodgers. They'd need time to learn the game and adapt their skill set to it.

Rodgers and Brady would probably get crushed in rugby, unless I haven't seen the game enough. Gronk would be questionable.
Interesting thing about JJ Watt, the best college scholarship he could get was Central Michigan until he decided to walk-on at Wisconsin and earn his scholarship through the scout team.
