    Yeah I liked the OG Eaat Nashville spot but the new one is super nice. Met my buddy there before caravaning to Louisville where we stayed for the Natty this year. Was a fun trip, all things considered.

    I'm teaching my fiancée how to drive she is basically ready for her driving test once we fine tune her parking. Due to her anxiety and PTSD she has never ever felt comfortable learning to drive until about a year ago. We were leaving Target, and she is looking to turn down the aisle and this teenager is starting to walk across the cross walk. She stops, and he waves her to keep going smiling, she starts to accelerate making her turn and he grins and then sprints right at our car then dodges at the last second after she slams on the brakes scaring the hell out of our 4 year old, and freaking her out. He is grinning and laughing hysterically he then reaches out to grab the passenger side door so my fiancée freaks and floors it and he runs after just laughing and flipping us off. I guess I was just boring as teenager because we did a lot of dumb ass shit, but playing chicken with a car wasn't ever a thought.

    Kids used to intentionally jump out in front of nice cars at the intersection in front of the Cabrini Green Jewel-Osco in Chicago, because the cars weren't going fast enough to hurt them, but they could maybe make some money from the driver or the insurance company. Some kid misjudged the speed of the SUV my friend was driving and she put him in the hospital for a couple of months with a brain injury. Classic fucking around and finding out.

    Family Hides Profane Phrase In Headstone For Iowa Man
    By Bill Galluccio

    June 16, 2022

    a profane message hidden in the epitaph. The family of Steven Owens had the following words engraved on his tombstone at the Warren-Powers Cemetery in Polk County:

    "Forever in our hearts, until we meet again, cherished memories, known as our brother, father, papa, uncle, friend, and cousin."

    While it may seem like a touching rembereance of Owens, the first letter in each line spells out, "F*** Off," which was a phrase that Owens loved to use, according to his family.

    "It was definitely his term of endearment. If he didn't like you, he didn't speak to you. It's just who he was," his daughter, Lindsay Owens, told KCCI.

    "He's easily riled up. It was always a goal of some sort to have him tell you to do this," his son, Zachary Owens, added.

    Officials at the cemetery weren't thrilled with the message and tried to prevent the headstone from being installed with the message engraved on it. According to the Witchita Eagle, the company that made the headstone, Wittenbeck Memorial, told the cemetery that they would not make any changes unless it received a court order halting the installation.

    The Owens hope the headstone will be allowed to remain at the cemetery.

    "No one's forcing anyone to come out and look at it. That's a choice that you make, We didn't do it to offend anyone or hurt anyone's feelings. We did it because it was our father, and we love him, and that's the way we remember him," Zachary said.

    I think it’s the opposite for me. Now that I’m older I spend a lot more time thinking and agonizing about deadlines, etc which seems to speed things up for me. So instead of looking forward to fun things I’m not looking forward to bad things

    Wasn't sure where to put this but: https://www.jdsupra.com/legalnews/supreme-court-decides-viking-river-8929437/

    In short, arbitration agreements can be drafted up by employers to protect themselves from class action lawsuits. Been the norm for a while in a lot of states, but California has had PAGA for a while as well. Arbitration agreements didn't affect PAGA, so an employee could essentially file a version of a class action here even if an arbitration agreement was in place. Businesses couldn't get away with being fuckwads due to the threat of PAGA. Well, that's been totally negated as of today. Good stuff

    Example: I own a farm. I really don't give a shit if my migrant worker gets a water break as long as things get done -- as a base. However, I do care if neglecting to give that person a water break can cost me a cool mil. I stop caring once I learn it only costs 5k on a technicality assuming they can win, and I'll just call border patrol to deport them if they make too much noise and not have to pay shit

    I don’t think he means feeding but discretionary spending on pets. There’s actually a really strong indicator of whether we’re headed into a recession called the fluffy puppy index that measures owners spending on things like pet clothes, toys, etc. When that goes down it normally indicates we’re headed to a slowdown in the economy.

    For reference, my wife spends like $400 a month on unnecessary pet food additives and supplements and we feed the best tier of widely available dry food.
    If she quit being totally ridiculous and we just met the nutritional needs of our dogs to be healthy we could probably cut 80% of that budget.
