But sports betting being so integrated into sports now and gambling in general aren’t a problem in the country according to a lot of people. :rolleyes:

Apparently, NCAA athletes are allowed to bet on horse and greyhound races, but not any sporting events that involve human beings. That was an interesting to twist.



Nate is going to have a busy summer since he is now on a summer box lacrosse team based in East Aurora and a summer field lacrosse team in the Rochester summer league.

He has talked about wanting to get a motorcycle to ride with his buddies in college. I may be hoping that he is spending so much time and money on lacrosse this summer that he does not end up with enough money to buy a motorcycle before heading back to school.

5000 sq ft for $2560 and half of your cost is in personnel. Christ on a Bike.

It's so cheap because I don't have rent or a mortgage as that would be an extra 3k+.

My biggest takeaway was the fact that my property tax is $1600 for the year and my HOA is a little less for 24hr guarded gate with roving security at night.

My groceries I could cut down if I didn't spend so much on western junk food

I thought it was weird that you pay to eat out, to be honest. Feels like that would be pro bono.

:innocent:

Literally it's cheaper to eat out unless it's western food. A Thai dish is usually about $1.50. Generally if I eat out it's stuff like pizza, chicken parm ($5) or when Cheap Charlie's has a daily $3 special I like. The girls know what I like so if they go to the night market they come back with a $2 chicken wrap, or they splurge for 3 big egg rolls like 8" for $1.

I give them $10 and they go to town, coming back with 6 or 7 dishes that you couldn't cook for less money. The groceries besides my snacks, is cheeses, deli meats, steaks, chicken wings or boneless chicken so I can cook what I like.

I have chili cooking right now in the slow cooker that I'm pairing with flat bread and corn bread. Trying out my baking skills, the flat bread is easy but corn bread can be tricky with the humidity

Shoulda got one game in
I really need to hire a camera crew to follow me around and live stream my life. I am simultaneously trying to move my friend into the open apartment in my building, having the family of my niece hating my family, dealing with issues with 5 different women in the building next to me, and trying to figure out a timeline to do repairs and/or renovations in my building.

It really makes my broken hand seem like nothing

An addendum to this: one of my friends has been missing for the past 8 years. I knew he was thinking about it because he was tired of dealing with society. His family is worried, but I also promised him that if he falls off the face of the earth, I won’t say anything. They’re worried and thinking the worst, but if I say anything I’m breaking a promise I made to him. He also broke a promise to me, because he didn’t leave a note for his family. So what the f*** do I do?

If he left 8yrs ago and hasn't contacted you, then realistically what could you tell them besides he was thinking of taking off?

They're worried after 8 years? Unless he's been sending money to them, I would have assumed he's long dead.

"Hey, this is NBA Central, and we'd like to remind our audience that we are proudly sponsored by Draft Kings. Draft Kings: where professional sports leagues go to sell their last shreds of integrity."

*disclaimer - I have no idea what NBA Central is, but the point stands that sports gambling is terrible for anyone who isn't the owner of the gambling company.

Really just where he said he’d go.

No. They’ve been worried since day one.

So my friend (the one I’m trying to get that apartment for) is having a really shitty day. He ex is getting a bunch of charges dropped AND getting released on bail, and she’s f***ing terrified that he’s gonna find her once he’s out. I offered her the extra bedroom here, as he doesn’t know me from a hole in the ground, so we’ll see what happens with that.

I won't ever tell him but Gus needs a raise. He's back in Australia for some big rugby shindig so had to work more. I don't know how @Chainshot does it but moderating, and dealing with idiots online is taxing.

Needing to explain repeatedly why someone who doesn't want her pics online doesn't show up in the posts. Why does X YouTuber say how things really are, but it's different than what is posted here. Needing to explain that X doesn't own, has never owned, probably never will own a bar and that my books / experience says different. Etc etc etc Then having these spammers come on discord and post porno links in every sub-topic so after banning them you spend 30 minutes deleting and resetting everything
