The part that's most annoying, and that I keep thinking about, is that literally none of this has to be this way.

tbh dudes also need more silly little group chats.
as the husband of a mahjong addict, dudes need to identify an activity that can be done relatively easily in groups with minimal financial commitment so they can get out of the house for 2-3 hours on a school night, have two beers, and shoot the shit with their buddies.

It won't be mahjong tho.
This is excellent, and great fun to read. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Interviewer: Are you confident that this time you'll be able to kick the football?

Senator Charlie Brown: Well, certainly, yes, um, Lucy has promised that she's not going to pull it out from under me this time. We talked about it and she's serious this time, so, we'll see if she means it.

This is very sweet, confirms my initial feelings, and also: gig em.
The Texas A&M money machine has a tendency to change everyone inside it — and drive many of them to madness.

In his second season as head coach, Mike Elko has the Aggies ranked No. 3 in the country. The Elkos are attempting to stay normal.
Amid the madness of Texas A&M, a coach and his family try to keep it real
At Texas A&M, where one booster says, “We’ve got more money than we’ve got brains,” Coach Mike Elko aims to tune out the noise.

Slicing it kinda went to shit but from the bits I've had to far I think we hit 9, 9.5/10.

Tbh I hope we never get to where we expect to win because how boring.

The weekly dose of terror is more fun(?)
Just very suspicious of everything we are.

Making a touchdown isn't helpful if the other team immediately turns around and makes their own.

Although tbh not surprising if I sit in another room my stream is often as much as 30-45 seconds behind the one in the living room.

Paul will cheer for something and I have to shout SPOILERS.
LOL spoilers my stream is somehow wayyyyy behind I just now saw the touchdown cc @maybeacrook.bsky.social
