Ha! Ok. Didn’t know if it was just a stray shot. My bad Boyst 🍻

I had five months of paid paternity leave with my son. I have a very stressful job. I have over 500 employees in my span of control (obviously directors who work for me, managers for them, etc, etc). But like everyone, work is “stressful.” Without question, those 5 months of pat leave were the hardest job I’ve ever had, by orders of magnitude. I think some folks on here are baby boomers, who I believe the stat is that something like 80% never changed a diaper… And if it shows my lack of work ethic, GOOD. I know on my death bed I won’t say “I wish I had spent one more month on that project to make my company another couple million.” I will say “I wish I had 1 more minute with Liam.”

Thanks man. It was brutal - of course moreso for my wife - but in the end, we kept trying and now have my mini me, whose 17 months, and is sooooo close to saying “go bills” I think we’re like a week away. ☺️

That’s REALLY early to announce broadly (from sad personal experience).

Curious on your thoughts on this bill. What are the positives? I can’t weed through all the “millions will lose healthcare” (which is horrifying if it’s not done with precision to only remove those who are abusing the system) rhetoric so I’m interested in learning what the positive is? Tax free OT? Seems lame. No tax on tips? Sounds like it was written by someone who never worked for tips. Not being argumentative; honestly curious what the pros are to the bill from someone on the other side of the aisle I respect.

Yes, of course. But unless they used an AI Trump, they are simply using clips of the man speaking. I fully understand he has been misquoted/taken out of context by the left many times before - “very good people” “suckers and losers,” to name a few times the left embarrassed themselves by taking things out of context when they don’t need to because he has plenty of stupid s.hit on his own accord - but these are pretty clear cut, regardless of which station reported on them, no? Inflation is not going down, egg prices spiked in March but are back down (and while I truly don’t believe the POTUS has control, nor should worry about ***** eggs - just eat less eggs, fatties - , he said he would reduce the price “from day one” so he should have just skipped that one, but my biggest issue is: “We’re not going to touch Medicare” is a pretty binary statement - and regardless if it was posted on MSNBC or Breitbart, it’s an out and out lie.

I lived in Hoboken for four years. Truly the best place I’ve ever lived and I’ve lived in 8 different cities across the country. Just an awesome place. I will say though, I paid $4700/mo for a 750sq ft loft so the secret is out and the prices are not substantially lower than NYC anymore.

My buddies own several wing joints in NYC. Their story is amazing. But to get to the point: best (and in my opinion only truly authentic wings in NYC). Dan and John’s wings. At least three locations. Just Google maps when you get there to find the closest. They also play all bills games with a bunch of bills fans.

I always loved Jay Riemersma when he was a Bill. Being an idiot, I wore a tshirt to a game that said “Jay Riemersma is my Dad” in 2014 (ten years after he retired). At least 50% of people who read it said “man I loved your dad when he was on the bills!” I’m exactly 6 years younger than Jay. I found him on Facebook and sent him that story thinking he’d never respond because it’s so stupid. He did reply, and said how much he loves Bills fans. We now chat every once in a while about our chances against certain teams, what position we need at the draft, and he sends me a happy birthday message annually.

I wish your employer could see this post.

I don’t know how anyone can deny - now, a few days later with good/clearer intel - that: 1) This was a resoundingly successful mission based on its goal and the resulting outcome. 2) the “leak” was weak far left nonsensical reporting at best, criminal conduct at worst. 3) We can still disagree on whether the action and mission itself was still in the best interest of America. But, its seeming more and more to me (a far left whacko or a MAGA in disguise, depending on who you ask on this bored) that it was at least not as dangerous a move as I thought initially. So I’ll stand corrected there, for now, unless Iran does something insanely stupid. And I don’t think they want to be wiped off the face of the planet over “pride.” But again, what the ***** do I know? 4) Pete liquid lunch Hegseth still isn’t the best we could do for this very important government position, but at least this time, he seemed to do something right. That’s where I’m at right now.

Very difficult to argue with this post. 👍

I honestly think he’s just pointing out that Pete’s completely irrational and overly emotional response to a question about the success of the mission is bizarre. No one (well no one sane) is questioning the bravery of the men who flew those planes. No one. And he knows that. So why the cheap theatrics and awful attempt at spin? They are questioning if his mission (since he’s supposedly the leader) might not have actually been as successful as he claimed it was nearly immediately after and instead of saying - like an adult - that we need to wait for more intel to show exactly how much was destroyed, he’s spinning it in a truly odd direction - that questioning the mission’s success is somehow questioning the bravery of the men directly involved. That’s such a leap that it’s insane. I believe the missions were likely a large success.But who cares what I think? And we’ll know more in the next week or so. It’s just a truly weird way to spin the line of questioning unless he’s hiding something.

It’s the equivalent of saying “how dare you say the FDNY didn’t save every person in twin towers?? How dare you disrespect those brave men and women??!?” He’s either full on DTS (daddy Trump syndrome), just stupid, or back deep on the sauce. But we all knew he was a laughable pick for that very important position. Like a reasonable republican on this forum said yesterday, let’s all just wait for the full report. No one knows the full extent of the damage - or if material was moved prior. Let’s wait and see.

Him pretending that saying the mission didn’t 100% destroy of the nuclear sites is somehow an attack on the pilots is such a trumpian way of spinning things. 😂

⬆️ The old man woke up!! 😂😂😂

I’m now 45. And our second is due in November. I can only surmise that the Stockholm syndrome I’ve developed from being a Bills fan has expanded to all facets of my life. Typing this took all the energy I had left for the day. And NOW back to bills talk: Justin Shorter is on the Raiders.

I was going to say maybe this is the year we hear Justin Shorter’s name for the first time. Then I googled and found out he’s not a bill anymore. Have a kid at 44 years old they said. It will be fun they said.

I’m fine with you having your opinion. It just seems absolutely no one agrees with you by reading the replies. Doesn’t mean you’re wrong, but it sure does point in that direction. Again, without Josh, he’s nothing. And don’t even give me the Andy Dalton led team that got us to the playoffs as a sign of Clappy’s ability to lead a non-Josh team to the playoffs. Plus that year our strength of schedule was basically negative. You seem a bit over the top with your defense of a coach who is simply not good enough defensively to take the world’s best football player to the Super Bowl. It’s cool if your his brother or something but your passionate defense of him is a little odd.

it’s still really really really really bad for a “defensive minded” HC. So the stat is wrong and he’s only second or third worst in that category? Not anything to crow about. He’s the sole reason Josh doesn’t have at least two rings.

GREAT post. Thank you! Particularly liked the bolded part. Let’s hope Pete is right. And all the incoming reports are wrong. Truly.

He lucked into Allen. There is nothing - in his scheme, his clock/game management, his decision making, or his “defensive mindset” that puts him in the top 20. Without Allen, he’s out of a job 4 years ago.

Honest question since I of course have no way of knowing what actually happened, nor do any of us here. But since many on the right are blasting any suggestion that the sites weren’t destroyed (by judging the website that posts the story) are you believing they did completely destroy them because Hegseth said they did? Or are you just waiting for more confirmation. Aljzerra is also reporting they have not been destroyed, along with other sources. So, aside from “CNN is biased” (no s.hit) what gives you confidence that the mission was indeed accomplished?

Has anyone told these guys that cease means stop? No?
