Counterpoint worth considering: Why shouldn't it cost that much, and what is the inherent problem with it costing that much? It's a year's salary for a non-specialist doctor, right? I don’t think this is true. But what you’re saying is that we should only encourage people to be high paid specialist...

Y’all. It’s so cold here. It was 3 when I woke up. It was below zero with wind chill. We just got power back about two hours ago. That’s the first consistent power we’ve had since 7 last night. It was 53 in my house this morning. We had five inches of snow, which was topped with sleet and freezing r...

It addresses a symptom and not a cause. You’re going to put a bandaid on a problem that is fundamentally flawed. Before you forgive student debt, you need to address why schools are (still currently) requiring people to incur six figure debts to get a professional degree. By forgiving student loans ...

All bangers except Against All Odds- but it’s still a great song!

Kyle

Holy shit. Best way to end 1983.

Kyle

1983 is winning.

Kyle

Bang, bang, bang on the door baby! A banger!

Kyle

Clearly Joe Dea, who wrote and directed Greg Kihn in that video, was heavily influenced by Cronenberg and Carpenter, but was shackled by a Greg Kihn budget.

I remember loving how freaky and weird that video was when it came out.

Kyle

Ah, I get it, so it's an investment club which then donates proceeds to charity, but the interesting part is considering the investments. Ok, sounds good. Yeah- otherwise we could just donate money to charity. But if folks are inclined to do that, they don’t need a group to do it. This way people t...

Uh. Two thoughts:

Why is Bowie wearing Mickey Mouse gloves?

That video is a weird rejection of his own song. Watch it. Is it some thinly-veiled protest against the record company?

Kyle

I know this album is considered a sell out by Bowie, but I still love it.

Kyle

I get the idea of hating how certain people use the phrases- and I agree. But I don't know that I condemn the phrases themselves because of the ignorant intentions of hollow-shelled, soulless people.

Kyle

I don't really want to invest in a fund. If we want that- then we can just donate money to charity. I wanted to do something that would be interesting and fun for people, and benefit a charity at the same time. I want to do something that everyone can be involved in, even if they're not in a place w...

Kyle

I'm cooling putting in my opinions, but maybe I'll just look on for now as I feel back that I can't chip in currently. No, no, no. I want you to participate. I really, really don't want to have people feel like they have to contribute money. I want to use our collective wisdom for the best result. ...

Kyle

I'll be honest with y'all- none of that bothers me. Like- not a little bit. I don't understand why Phoebe's bother her. What's wrong with using with terms like "disruptive" or "data driven" or "reaching out." Again- it's cool that they bother you- that's what this threa...

Kyle

1983 is cooling off.

Kyle

So what's a charity people would be interested in? For me personally, it doesn't have to be a pure secular charity (i.e., Habitats for Humanity is a charity I've donated to before), but I also would prefer it not be a religious-forward charity. Thoughts?

Same here.

Kyle

I'm in. It sounds like you're not someone who is going to move the money around every week, which I appreciate. Well, we won't move any money unless the group consensus agrees to it. But you're also right- I think we ought to hold stocks for an extended time. Look at mid to long term appreciation.

Kyle

Holy shit. It's the banger of all bangers!

This usage is permissible:

Rankin' Full Stop

Sustained.

Kyle

So I had an idea that we, as a community, start an investment fund where we all agree in stocks to invest in and, after a year or two (or whatever the group decides), we donate the money we used and any gains to a charity. I'll agree to donate $100 to start it off, and no one else has to donate anyt...

Hrmmm. Not good.

Kyle

It’s too bad Boy George turned out to be a creep and predator. He was so delightfully different. Also- ANOTHER BANGER!

Kyle

So this is appropriate to the thread because the pet peeve is people who fastidiously correct double negatives.

Kyle

If you are saying something and then say "full stop" then you need to stop talking after you say "full stop." For example- don't do this: Q: Did the impeachment managers prove their case on impeachment? A: Yes. Full stop. The case they put on.... [proceed to talk for two minutes....

Kyle

This thread is just for petty things that bug you, even though you know they shouldn't.

Kyle

I love Annie Lenox so much.

Kyle

Our second Flashdance song!

Kyle

Oof. Our first miss.

Kyle

1983 is killing it. KILLING IT!

Kyle

Motherfucking 1983!

Kyle

Y'all. Y'all! What a feeling 1983 is giving me!

Kyle

Killing it so far, 1983.

Kyle

I'm so in love with 1982.

Kyle

No. No can do. ANOTHER BANGER!

Kyle

Oh snap!

Kyle

The leg is healing. I can walk pretty much normally. Going up or down stairs, or standing on my tiptoes, I can feel a knot in the calf and a bit of pain, so it's not ready to start working out again just yet. But it's steadily improving. When I tore my calf, I had a "stripe" that went hal...

Kyle

Nope.

Kyle

And we’re back!

Kyle

Oof. I really don't like the Steve Miller Band.

Kyle

Our first miss. That's okay, 1982- you're still pretty great!

Kyle

4. Silence of the Lambs

8. Resident Evil

Kyle

Oh John Cougar.

Kyle

Bangers. Front to back, fucking bangers.

Kyle

Y’all! I fixed my refrigerator! It had a clogged defrost drain! It’s a great day!

Kyle

Not a banger- but still awesome! Let’s go 1982!

Kyle

Where did you find my chart? Wow- I haven't seen that since I submitted it with my masters thesis 20 years ago.

Kyle

Also- edit my first post.
