@ZippDroid @MostlyTechPod @IanLandsman @aarondfrancis I got 100% correct answers every time, so all I can say is great work.

Just got back from our beach house about an hour ago. It’s not the only place we go with the kids, but it’s definitely one of their favorites. Restaurants they know, tourist traps they look forward to, and beds they think of as their own. It’ll go down as probably the worst investment we make financially, but the best for the memories.

@JoshInEncinitas I agree with that. The driver in question was not driving defensively, though.

@FreddyLA7 Come to the state fair for Texas vs Oklahoma, it’s a great and unique atmosphere but you have to wear burnt orange, that’s the only rule.

@EricNahlin Hopefully nothing like this ever happens…

@cucurella3 We will miss you! My favorite at Chelsea and an inspiration to my son who plays your position. Best of luck at Real Madrid!

@aarondfrancis Non stop football! Taking my 10YO to the Spain v France semifinal. He doesn’t know yet. Super excited for him to figure it out when I pick him up early from camp.

@the_transit_guy @ilandc @Hy0rt This hurt my head

I’m a bit disappointed in the play tonight. It wasn’t to the level we have shown in this World Cup. But still proud of the team and excited for the future. Keep building and keep Poch. @USMNT

I love this Cape Verde side. Unlucky for them to draw Argentina. That was by far the best match of this World Cup so far. Hold your heads high, fellas!

@Boenau I’ve taught my kids to call fire trucks traffic cones.

@ChelseaFC Noooooo!

@DschlopesIsBack Nah, Stamford Bridge is leagues better than Allen HS on any dimension you want to measure against. Don’t be ridiculous.

[Chad Janicek @chadjanicek]

This is in large part due to very poor city planning.

[Financial Dystopia @financedystop]

Gen Z realizing one of the biggest shocks after college is that life no longer happens around you.

In school, friends, events, relationships, and opportunities are built into your environment.

As an adult, if you don't actively create a social life, weeks can turn into months surprisingly fast.

Aside from the fact that people don’t like to pay taxes, I think the argument has emotional appeal because most people pay property taxes via escrow. They view it as part of their mortgage payment, and once the mortgage has been paid off that should be the end of it.

Withholding causing many people to view tax refunds as bonus money is probably related to this instinct. The less immediately visible a tax is, the easier it is to build an incorrect mental model about what it is, what it’s for, etc.
