My entry:
Working on three year old’s potty training right now. He goes in his throne and I congratulate and then dump out the piss in the toilet. I turn and rinse the seat in the sink. When I turn back to get the pot to rinse, my son has it on his head. Damn it all.
I’ll play devils advocate here. JD has been gracious enough to let us in on 14 wonderful episodes detailing the trials and tribulations of his dating life and I really feel we are starting to really get to know him. Still, we are not JD so we can’t possibly know the whole situation. What we do know about JD is that he is a shooter and never misses an opportunity to take his shot. So I say, play to your strengths Johnny. Feel the situation out. And if starts to Titanic on you, we all know you’re capable of breaking away with a simple “lol” text.
I’m a little embarrassed to say I must have missed the episode. I refuse to be known as the guy that plagiarizes, even if unintentional.
The above clause belongs to Barney Stinson, a fictional character from How I Met Your Mother. Though I maintain that I thought of the clause independently, Mr. Stinson was the original creator. I apologize to the community for my transgressions.
I’ll preface this by saying I haven’t dated in someone for quite some time but I think this needs to be said for everyone that is. The “emergency call” thing needs to die. Every guy knows that there wasn’t an “emergency”. Its been overdone. Its in movies. We aren’t as dumb as you think. Instead, I offer the first-date-lemon clause. At any time during a first date, either party can get up and walk away with no more explanation than “I’m sorry. This is just never going to work out. Thank you for your time anyway”. And that’s it. No hard feelings. No passive aggressive messages to decode. Just a simple “no”. Everyone will be happier.
I’m way off the market but let me try this for fun anyway. “Just a normal guy looking for a normal woman. Message me so I have an excuse to grill you something yummy. We’ll drink mojitos and toss the bumper around the back yard for my dog.”
I disagree. That basic income, the number I hear most often is about $2000/month, would be next to worthless. Value is assigned to things on how hard it is to obtain. If everyone is just given $2000 for existing, people that would have to rely on it would still be poor. It is the same argument for raising minimum wage. The goal shouldn’t be to raise the minimum, it should be get people to understand they can be worth more than the minimum. Doesn’t matter what the minimum wage is, if that is all you are making, you will still be poor.
There will still be jobs. People just won’t be able to work mindless jobs anymore. We will need more technicians, engineers, etc. Also, with more and more being automated, niche markets will really come to life with people wanting hand crafted products. At least, that is what I see happening. A “basic income” will just devalue money even more than it already is.

I think we all just died a little bit inside.
I for one, will not underestimate JD.

“Sorry boss, I have rectal glaucoma. I just can’t see my ass coming into work today.”

You’re a sick, sick man deFries. But God dammit I respect you.
Haha. I don’t think I’m dead inside. I’ve just never attached any real value to my birthday.
I turn 30 this summer. I guess I’m not as pessimistic about it as you are. I suspect it will be just another day for me.
Ghosting 4 chicks at once with a simple “lol”. Love it.
How so?
I’d rather just keep my money because I can invest it better than the government can. #walletfeelingthebern
It probably wouldn’t even cover that.

Chipotle is so, so, SO overrated.
And I almost forgot Stuart Scott and Andy Roddick. “Did Alex Rodriguez put you up to this?!”
Dan Patrick having Danica Patrick’s racecar towed for parking in his spot was my favorite.
