@indygrl As a kid we rarely got to eat out. It felt so special to go to restaurant and eat a meal.

@alex_verem No thank you!

[Shane @floydplace]

@2nd_zoeyy Never have visited NYC and have no desire to start. So, yes I would take that deal.

@LarryJones I tested positive in Nov 2020. Never took the vaccine later on and never tested again. I was 50 at the time and did not consider it to be a top 10 sickness in my life experience.

@CajunCombatVet Teachers named their pandles back in my day.

Coaches jumping for bigger contracts isn’t new. It’s been happening for decades. What’s new is the complete free-for-all: unlimited transfers every year, NIL turning every roster into a free-agent market, and courts handing out extra years of eligibility on a class-wide basis right before the season. That combination destroys any sense of continuity or team identity. Fans don’t just follow coaches. They follow the players and the program. When the roster completely turns over every offseason and eligibility is decided by lawsuits instead of consistent rules, the product stops feeling like college sports. Pointing out that coaches move too doesn’t erase how much the current system has changed the sport for the worse.

@MayorOfElmhurst @On3 I agree on that point too.

[Shane @floydplace]

@lmblanch @On3 why the frown?

[Shane @floydplace]

@meme_relay @financedystop Thats what i have.

Happy 4th of July.

Hope everybody gets a little time today with the grill going, fireworks later, and people they actually want to be around.

Nothing complicated.

Just one of those days where the simple stuff still works.

@ConcerndBassist @itsJeffTiedrich @RandPaul What? I agree with Rand.

[Shane @floydplace]

GPS made getting lost rare.

That’s useful.

But learning roads, landmarks, and direction used to build a kind of awareness most people don’t practice anymore.

[Shane @floydplace]

I don’t miss everything about growing up before the internet.

But I do miss being unreachable.

There was something healthy about not being available, trackable, searchable, and notified every minute of the day.

[Shane @floydplace]

A lot of modern life feels designed to remove friction.

But friction is where people learned patience, skill, judgment, and boredom tolerance.

I’m not sure you can remove all friction and still build capable people.

[Shane @floydplace]

Being unreachable as a kid used to be normal.

Now adults panic if a text goes unanswered for 12 minutes.

Did we gain safety or lose resilience?

@itsJeffTiedrich @RandPaul Using the 1st Amendment on a smartphone to argue that the 2nd Amendment only applies to muskets is peak irony. Go grab a quill and parchment.
