Rant About Whatever

Yeah I know there were some rant threads over the years grinds my gears and whatever. I don't think any of them were that happening to dig up. I probably made one of them honestly. Whatever.

I figured if we could rant somewhere we'd be more docile creatures in the rest of the forums.

Call out the dad and embarrass him in front of his wife and kids. Repeatedly harrass him with jokes about how you hope his kids learn to read better than him
No-mercy scorched-earth for shitters that refuse to properly navigate a lift line.
If they're young park rats, ask them if they get extra time on their tests like the other speds. If they're adults, shame them in front of their families.
Best case, they try to fight you and you get their pass pulled

that's insane. going in singles line as a group is already iffy (im personally fine with it) but using it to just skip line and group up anyways is straight up douchey, just fuck with them at that point. also bad parenting for the kiddos.

went through that a few years ago it sucks. How old is dog?
Mine was 10 when she tore her first, got that one fixed and then tore the other a year later. Her first surgery got infected too so that was also not cool. We didn't get the 2nd fixed. Now she walks with mostly her front legs. We didn't do stretches and exercises to force her to strengthen her back legs back up as much as we should have besides walks. If you got any questions I can go into more detail with my experience, vets are hard to talk to cuz they make you feel like shit all the time, we thankfully found a place that was decent.

Sad thing is she’s not even 3, was some freak thing where she fell down the stairs or something, didn’t even see it happen.



im praying it’s not that, heard two different things from other vets, but waiting on a final ortho visit. She walks fine, but the first day she whined up and down stairs/couches. praying it’s just a strain or mild tear at the most.

Even if it is the acl if you focus on her recovery and stretches you should be able to get her back to 90%. That's what the vet told me at least.
My dog was already slowing down when she did it so that didn't help trying to get her to use her weak leg. Neighbor has a young dog with a torn acl and you'd never know it.

Why do Washington State drivers in particular love to camp out in the left lane doing whatever speed feels good to them? Is there a worse state for this? There's like 1000 signs that say "State Law - All vehicles stay right except to pass"
State wasted like $10M on the signs because the problem obviously continues unabated.

also im sure if you talked it over with them and acknowledge your fuck up in a chill way over a beer or something that would be better than avoidance.

Yeah. I had a really bad call that was my first last season with a kid as well, but I just wanted to follow my leads orders. I fucked up because I didn't ask for a witness statement from an off-duty firefighter that was first-on when the crash happened.

I just did this with my dog, went to a community vet and they stitched the ACL together and the whole thing was $900, as opposed to TPLO surgery which was like 3-4k at most vets. The injury sucks, it’s really common and a lot of pet insurances don’t cover the surgery, and it sucks for the dog.

your fuckup was not getting a witness statement? Doesn't seem that bad, at least from a helping people standpoint. I can see why your employer would be pissed but fuck em, if you helped someone to the best of your ability that is what is important.

maybe she isn't productive at home and doesn't want to get fired.
social distancing worked really well, just do that.
still i get how that's really annoying, i hate hearing people cough, too.

Most schools have some ways around the application charge if they really want you to apply. Lots of schools have an alumni waiver where any grad can just get a waiver for an applicant, there are hardship waivers, and waivers that some recruiters/ admissions officers that work for the college can give out at their discretion. Ask before you pay to apply and make sure they know that an application fee waiver is something you are interested in

coaches are paid with football revenue and booster donations, totally separate from academic budget

and at 90% of schools the football program subsidizes the entire rest of the athletic department. big money in college ball

it was a joke. I know they are separate budgets.




But where'd you get that 90% number from? From what I remember its something like half of schools don't even break even. Id 100% believe that the big football schools like any of the SEC, ND, Michigan, Ohio state etc etc etc....... have tens of millions left over to fund other programs. But for every one of those there are 10 small schools with football programs that are fighting to break even or lose money. There's big money in college ball for the big names, the rest are left with crumbs.

sorry i struggle with internet sarcasm. 90% number came from my ass. it's newschoolers so i'm not exactly pulling up tableau for this shit

and yeah most athletic depts run at a loss but that's rarely due to football. FCS schools are a whole different discussion as even football is a non rev sport at most of those

I work with someone in the broadcast industry for D1 sports teams and he told me something like all programs get allotted an equal budget for Mens and womens sports equivolently ? So like men's football budget is equivolent to like 13 women's budgets combined? Idk exactly what he said but it seemed whack and I have no idea if that is just something he said while intoxicated.

Fuck my bad lol



Either way, only a handful of FBS schools actually make money off football tickets and sales. Let alone make enough money to cover the rest of athletics. But the big ones make biiiiiig money. I just think it's pretty fucked how nearly every public school requires tax money and student fees to run athletic departments that hemorrhage money.

I mean I love college football, but I feel those funds could be better used educating, which is the entire point of college, rather than building a new gym or hiring new coaches. Lame ass opinion but whatever

nah i’m just not applying to as many colleges now cause my parents are making me pay for my own college apps. Amazes me that they make 300k a year and want me to pay for my college apps and most of my college. You’d think they don’t want me to be in debt but they’re only concerned about having money for my sisters soccer and a second or third home to retire too

That's not correct.

The only dollar for dollar match that is mandated by title IX is in equality of financial assistance. Aka if you're giving 2.5 million in scholarships to men in athletics, you must also give 2.5 to women in athletics.


But he was kind of on the right track. The money allotted to say a football team is equivalent to a lot more in women's sports, just due to the sheer amount of scholarships given and the fact that there are so many people on a football team.


This is a requirement for all universities that receive federal funding.
