@jamesonhaslam Correct. You can only do it occasionally for that effect to exist. And since I am a #girldad, it means that there will be lots of tears afterwards.

@_jujucollins @twinnmama6 @MattLaneWrites @Eazy_EI @CertifTard5 I think it’s the combination of less work travel for parents (thank you video calls), more structured kids activities vs come in when it gets dark (increased time together in car and at home), and A LOT more time spent at youth sports events/travel.

The Wisconsin Socialist Caucus has a bill to lower property taxes by 44% by taxing the rich. Let’s get it passed.

@aurumfinancial @CoachRolfes He gets a lot right and is very prescriptive, which is what most folks deep in debt need. A sure fire plan to get out of a tough spot. No one who does what Dave says to a T will be in a worse spot financially.

Do the opposite of what society tells you: Do you → Follow God Debt is normal → Pay it off Stay broke → Build with a budget Max out cards → Use them wisely Ignore retirement → Invest 15%+ Buy to impress → Live below your means New car → Buy used Be lazy → Work out Money is everything → God is Buy now → Delay gratification Casual dating → Build a marriage Most people follow the crowd. The crowd is broke, stressed, and distracted. Choose differently.

@DanRShafer The appropriate respond to this group. I haven’t had their beer and now I never will.

These comments from Kirk Bangstad and Minocqua Brewing are reprehensible. I find him and his operation to be repugnant, and I think he makes everyone left-of-center in Wisconsin look worse. There's a reason I've never worked with them and I think less of anyone who does.

@Atomixion2 @KaeleyT If they are truly withholding sex from a partner routinely that is not ok. The idea that marriage means sex whenever one partner wants it is not “withholding Sex”.

For the record, it’s possible to rape your wife. If she says “no,” and you proceed, you’re raping her. Stop. Immediately.

@K_Miriani17 @realJJGOesq @SpartanHoops_DK Fears needs two focuses this off season. Working out / diet til he has visible abs and then 700 made 3’s a day. If he can be a half step quicker and shoot he’s a 10 yr NBA starter.

@bwestmke @realJJGOesq @SpartanHoops_DK That’s the shooting lineup. You’ll probably get it 7-10 minutes of it a game if i understand the staff well enough at this point. I think he will man, he really started to consistently hit the 15 footer the last two months of the year. It should be his main focus this offseason.

The three point line is the massive swing skill for him on that end. If he can shoot 33-34% taking two a game it helps with the entire floor spacing. MSU has a pretty good track record of taking bigs who show flashes of 3PT shooting and increasing their volume/%
Matthew Winick@matthewwinick

7-footers with 50 dunks and 10 threes in a season per @totally_t_bomb: Anton Bonke Henri Veesaar (NBA draft process) Ryan Kalkbrenner (NBA) Vlad Goldin (NBA) Kel'el Ware (NBA) Branden Carlson (NBA) Chet Holmgren (NBA) Walker Kessler (NBA) Evan Mobley (NBA) Deandre Ayton (NBA)

@K_Miriani17 @realJJGOesq @SpartanHoops_DK If Fears is 37% from deep I will lose my mind with joy. I don’t see it with his shot. I wanna believe in Jordan. A lineup of Fears, Teng/Jervis, Jordan, Glenn and Bonke in stretches would be dynamite offensively Jordan can be a knock down guy.

@bwestmke @realJJGOesq @SpartanHoops_DK Feel free to come back to this but i’ll put money on Teng Scott Jervis and Fears all being above 37 next season. Jesse probably will too but on low volume for the kicker. Scott has always been a shooter at every level, he took a second to get comfortable.

@bwestmke @realJJGOesq @SpartanHoops_DK Jesse was low volume and he’s a 10 minute guy so i’ll give you that i don’t hold huge stock in that. Scott/Glenn i’m very confident are capable shooters. Bonke, we shall see. Fears will improve. Add teng/jervis that we agree on, that’s still 4-6 guys.

@rosethaaartist That has always been a thing in America. What hasn’t been a thing is starter homes costing 400-500k in many metros.

You can make 80k a year with good credit and not afford a 400k home. That has never been a thing ever in America.
