  1. Tim Horton's almost every time. Dunkin is usually good at night because I'm pretty sure they automate their coffee dumping/brewing fresh every 15 minutes or whatever it is. With Tim's you have to rely on a teenager making fresh coffee and dumping the stuff sitting around, which usually doesn't happen. I hate getting a stale cup when I need a post dinner pickup.

     

    Tim's coffee fresh is superior.

  2. i really have no dog in this fight as i am a political atheist but... really? Trump low energy? not sure where you get that from, sure wasn't the campaign trail.

    It was a mid level use of irony, that elicited a mid level "HA" from me.

     

    7.5/10

     

    I have grown to love the energy of Trump and the comedic hilarity that ensues. Hilarious for all the wrong reasons.

  3. We were first time buyers last year (June 16) in North Buffalo. It was a very stressful few months with several disappointments. Anything we looked at had multiple offers the day of the open house.

     

    Finally got lucky putting in a full price offer the day of the open house and encountered sellers who needed to move quickly to get into the new house they found faster than they expected. I wrote a sappy letter and everything.

     

    Fast forward a year and I see now that we actually had it easy. My freinds are getting beat up worse and losing out with offers significantly above asking. So much competition and absurd prices.

     

    Comparables where we bought are now 25-35k more than what we spent 11 months ago and they are selling immediately. Great time to be a seller.

  4. The driver only did what most of us fantasize about doing.

     

    I've mentioned in another thread that I don't feel as much rage from cyclists while I'm driving (unless they are cutting me off, hogging a lane on a busy street, doing other normal DB cyclist stuff) but rather when I'm walking and they are ringing their stupid bells or shaking their stupid condescending heads because my dog and I cannot see behind us and had the audacity to be walking in their path.

     

    Get off the highway Lance. We aren't in France.

  5. I'm taking the Corleones as well. Completely agree that the Cicero gang was sloppy. Not real professionals.

     

    As for the Sopranos...I finally watched all of them a couple years ago. It didn't live up to the decade of hype I was subject to before finally watching it, although it was a solid show.

  6. It would be nice if somebody grew up eventually. The real problems with the country for the most part boil down to "But they started it!" politics.

     

    But it's not going to happen.

     

    I would argue that the environment is ripe for an independent who's campaign was built upon opposition to that very brand of politics.

     

    But, that could be a ways off still or maybe I am still naive. Technology has cleared at least some of the hurdles third party candidates experience.

  7. yea, and the biggest are the ones in suits.

     

    beat your spouse/child, drive under the influence, go on racially fueled rants (riley cooper), beat up a kid (kromer) "hit the field". smoke a plant, "whoa! that's against the rules. we have morals". so by the nfl's interpretation, the latter is about the worst thing you can do. got it.

     

     

     

    I think rather, you have.

    To be fair, while I'm completely against the NFL's ridiculous marijuana rule, the first offenses for failing tests carry pretty minimal punishments. If the above referenced were repeat offenders it would probably escalate to Gordon's point far quicker.

     

    I do feel for guy's who had unbelievable earning potential only to be blackballed by a marijuana addiction, which is barely anything, but yet there is a level of personal responsibility here.

  8. I have already identified that as my worst nightmare.

     

    I agree with you on most of these points. The media has hurt its' cause more than they've helped it. (so many problems with the fact this sentence makes sense).

     

    I still think Trump is actually great for the Democrats' prospects looking forward. Much better than Hillary would have been.

  9. You honestly think what you're watching on behalf of the far left base and the media is precisely what we've been watching for the past eight years from the far right base and media?

     

    Really?

     

    Woah.

    I'm not ignoring your essay request by the way, just don't feel like devoting the time right now. Oh well.

     

    To the above quote...hard to judge considering main stream media outlets we all encounter are primarily firmly left slanted. But how can I forget gems about Obama the muslim not born in America. Or Obama didn't really go to Harvard. Or any of the other drivel out there.

     

    You should at least admit you love liberal bashing.

  10. I sat there and listened to people tell me earnestly how:

     

    McGovern was going to beat Nixon

    Carter would easily beat Reagan

    Mondale would beat Reagan

    whatshizzzface would beat Papa Bush

     

    and my reaction wasn't to attack angrily the IQ or brains or entire existence of that person

     

    the reaction to someone who didn't think Hillary was taking every electoral college vote was hostile, rude, ignorant and almost dangerous at times

     

    suck it y'all...

    I was in the sixth grade when GWB was elected. What proceded was eight years of dems and the liberal media thrashing him every step of the way.

     

    Then Obama was elected and what proceded was the right thrashing him every step of the way.

     

    Here we are with Trump...guess what happens next.

     

    I think it's funny that both sides upon their candidates victories all of a sudden decide, "common guy and gals, let's grow up now and get stuff done.", while the other side is comprised of whiney children until the roles are reversed.

  11. Did you hear Obama thinks there are 57 states?

     

    Did you hear Joe Biden thinks "jobs" is a three-letter word?

     

    Did you hear Benghazi was caused by a Youtube video?

     

    We can do this all day. Whomever is in charge is going to say stupid crap, and it's possible Trump may set new records, but I really wish the collective media would just keep it's eye on the ball and stop creating new headlines for clickbait.

    But you had eight years to revel in the stupidity of your foes. Everyone is supposed to grow up now?

     

    For the record I agree with you, but it's been a vicious cycle we have all fed into. It hasn't been long since my former forum of choice was eliminated, but I noticed quickly that you LOVE zingers towards liberals and the politicians that represent them.
