Nothing on earth can bring you the moments of sheer joy that children can. No major sporting event. Concert. Vacation anywhere on this planet. Or any material possession. I have experienced all of those. Nothing can bring the joy to the level a child can. Praise to the most high.

My 2 cents on foul-baiting/flopping:
It’s always been perfectly within the rules to do it. But it’s always just been up to players to have the self-respect and integrity to not over-do it.
Like, honestly, a well-timed occasional strategic flop, I can accept.
But when it becomes a hallmark of your whole game, when you’re seeking it out every time or every other time you touch the ball…
That’s when sportsmanship is killed by gamesmanship. That’s when winning becomes completely divorced from ethics. That’s when the game becomes unwatchable.
That’s when the rules have to change.
When players can no longer be trusted to reasonably govern themselves, that’s when official governance has to be increased.
Same thing happens in all aspects of society, when you think about it. And that’s just unfortunate.
Something here has to change.

the NBA is now basically about who’s better at drawing fouls

The on-campus game experience is college football’s best and most unique feature. No other sport, college or pro, has anything remotely like that
If we’re just going play these games in a sterile, domed neutral site that fans hate, then what the hell is the point of this sport?

@CJRealHoops2 @cf__davey @YoungTrayce @GMoney_1978 Most major cities have some pretty violent shifts in socioeconomic conditions. Literal pockets of insane wealth right next to poverty is pretty par for the course in many places. But I get it’s a little more weird in our neck of the woods where it’s a little more homogeneous.
English
@cf__davey @YoungTrayce @GMoney_1978 Oh, nothing weird about that in principle.
Just the juxtaposition of these small quaint 1950s-ish ranch houses sprinkled in between the mansions. It’s like the town’s demographic shifted from Panguitch Utah to The Hamptons within living memory. It’s a little eerie 😅

Alpine Utah is such a weird town, man
You have these obscenely big, gaudy mansions that have all been built in the last 10 years. And then go a quarter mile down the hill and you have “Old Alpine” homes, single story mid-20th century grandparent houses
It’s actually so bizarre

Listen to all of MJ albums some years ago and I’m telling you everything after the 80s snooze fest

Michael Jackson is probably the last superstar we’ll ever have.
Not because nobody else is talented. The world that made him is gone, and the kind of person he was doesn’t really happen anymore.
And Taylor Swift doesn’t come close. Just calling it now.
He came up in the last real monoculture. When something hit, it hit everybody on the same night.
47 million Americans watched the moonwalk at Motown 25 and the next morning every kid in the country was trying it on their kitchen floor.
That’s not happening again.
Taylor Swift sells out stadiums and there are still millions of people who couldn’t pick her song out of a lineup.
Everybody now has a lane.
MJ never had one. He was loved everywhere at the same time, because there was nowhere else for the culture to go.
He shot the Beat It video with actual Crips and Bloods on set, from rival sets in LA, in the same room with him.
Nobody else was doing that. Nobody else COULD.
He was lonely and weird and broken, and he poured all of it into the music. There’s a reason you can still feel something in Billie Jean and She’s Out of My Life forty years later.
That’s a person bleeding into a microphone. Not a brand.
The biggest stars now are LLCs. They’re products.
Taylor Swift is about breakups within a target demo. Songs are two minutes long because that’s what TikTok pays for. There’s no soul.
MJ was a ridiculously talented person who actually moved people. Produced, wrote, danced, made short films it’s pretty insane.
Anyways just saw the movie and was reminiscing.
It’s like Hollywood.
The era of superstars is waning.
Don’t think we get another like him.

@abelopezz My dad bought an 01 F-150 from new. I loved that experience as a kid. That truck was so cool then.

This is a great question. What car would you pick?
Rob Boyd, Esq@AvonandsomerRob
If you could have ONE of the previous cars you've owned back in your possession, in NEW condition, which would you choose?

While I’m not a fan of Utah County myself stop buying this garbage. The life he describes here is better off than like 90% of the world today and 99% of all humanity. You’re not a victim. You have favorable circumstances beyond what you can comprehend.

Drive down I-15 through Silicon Slopes at 5:30 PM. Look at the glass boxes baking in the smog. Look at the thousands of identical crossovers idling in bumper-to-bumper traffic, filled with people who moved here from California because the taxes were lower and they liked the aesthetic of mountains. They don't know what it means to sweat on a mountain. They just want a backdrop for their lifestyle brand. Utah swapped its birthright for a tech boom and a real estate bubble. Every square inch of the valley is being paved over with cheap five-over-one apartments and master-planned communities with names like "The Orchard" built directly on top of the actual orchards they bulldozed to make room for them. The modern Utahn’s highest aspiration isn't to build a kingdom; it’s to land a mid-level project management role at a SaaS company, buy a house with a 30-year mortgage, and spend weekends drinking 60-ounce dirty sodas from a drive-thru while their kids play competitive soccer. It’s a giant, lukewarm simulation of success. The Great Salt Lake is drying up, exposing a bed of toxic arsenic dust that blows across the golf courses and manicured lawns. It’s the perfect metaphor. The literal foundation of the valley is turning to poison.

@edgaralandough It’s unpopular because it’s more than half of it. Only one individual has a fully developed brain. Onus is on them, not the child.

half of parenting is learning to regulate yourself, not your child.

I forget who said it but a post said "buying my 30 year old daughter with 3 kids a mini van has a bigger impact in her life than $300,000 when I am dead" (something like that)
I have never stopped thinking about it and will use that as a compass as my kids get married, have kids, buy houses etc.

If you're a boomer in your 60s and 70s and you own property and are well off but your children are struggling and can't even buy a home, what the hell are you doin? Your time is over. It's their time. Help them. Be a good parent, do whatever it is you need to do... sell the house if you need to, give them some kickbacks to help buy their first home, etc. Life is short. Be a good parent and don't squat on stuff that doesn't matter. Give them their time.

I like it. I’d probably remove Boise State and BYU. But I like where you’re going.

Finally was able to watch Project Hail Mary last night.
Purchased it to stream and watched it with the whole family.

@darkstartravels @iiTzz_Tyrell I’ll secede that electric snowblowers are inferior. But mowers? Edgers? Way better electric. I’ve had them all and it’s not even close imo.
English
@iiTzz_Tyrell Yup, I love mine. So much quieter, easier to start, doesn’t smell bad, lighter weight, never runs out of gas.
I suppose the question is what is the benefit of gas
