If he's actually 6'3 or whatever it was? 280 minimum, probably. I look decent compared to him and I'm 5'11 245ish.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I once had a job where we had no set days off, it was just two or three random days and every week it changed. Back then I was CONSTANTLY forgetting what day it was.

Throughout middle school and the first two years of high school. I think my worst memory was when the bullying started. Up until third grade there was really no bullying. There was this one kid who was best friends with me in third grade--we were inseparable all year. We went to each others' houses almost every day, and we'd always say how we were best friends forever.

Then fourth grade started, and immediately things were different. We started separating into a social hierarchy and because of my big nerdy glasses and general awkwardness, I was with three or four kids at the bottom. One day when a bunch of kids were picking on me, and I went to my "best friend" hoping he would stick up for me, he literally was like "You're not my friend!" and joined them in picking on me, and one of those kids became his new best friend.

I know it was self preservation--he didn't want me to drag him down, so he attacked me to keep himself out of the "nerd" group. I understand it. But still... says a lot about loyalty. I feel sure I would never have done the same if the situation were reversed.

I remember there was a black girl who had a group of bullies. It was very sad and pathetic on her bullies' part. I went to a school of mostly white people in the south. I kinda got by maybe because I found a lot of friends who enjoyed the same nerdy hobbies as I did. But this black girl was bullied fucking fierce. The fucked up thing is that she was very attractive. She would easily be a popular girl in a more diverse school but I honestly think the girls that picked on her bullied her because they were racists pieces of shit.

They would pull her hair while she was in the hallway, call her "ducklips", etc. There were rumors that they SA'd her in the bathroom not too long after she left the school. Its one of my biggest regrets as an adult. Not sticking up for her.

elementary/middle school

didn't help i had a learning disability and i was overweight.

high school only had the problem in 9th grade but that was because i switched schools for one year.

edit: trying to switch into lower calorie drinks (sparkling water) for half of the beverages saves calories.

Didn't have to tell anyone. This happened in the middle of class - full of witnesses.

Dude took advantage of the substitute teacher's lack of attention to take issue with me grading their test. With their fists.

I think the teacher turned around after about the eighth or ninth punch to the face. Good job.

North Carolina city and county police use various types of Dodges.

Of course the state police have the bad boy ones.

I don't have a Chick-fil-A near me. So Popeyes wins by default.

I've never given a dime to chick fil a and never will. Got a free sandwich once and it was alright, but popeye's fried chicken's better.

Depends. I prefer Chick Fil A sandwiches, and Popeyes regular chicken or chicken tenders.

When I was young the town I lived in had a souped up 'Vette for high speed chases.

Yes.

Canadian police cars are a massive joke. Everyone drives a Ford Explorer or Fusion, and they cant keep up with shit.

Meanwhile US police forces get Mustangs and Camaros, and Italian police rip Alfa Romeos and even have 4 Lambos.

Time to step it up.

I made a topic earlier this year about my next watch.

Was eyeing a Tudor BB w/METAS certification.
Forgot the user name, but was more turned onto the used market (he suggested a Grand Seiko).

So atm I'm actually looking at a used or ~2 year NOS Tudor BB. No METAS but I think saving a couple grand will be more worthwhile as I want it to be a beater.

Might even be more of a beater than my Sinn 104 despite costing more. There's less sentimental value and it's more of a bucket list, secondary acquisition.

<$3k is the goal

If something insanely good happens this year I'm going new, or used Omega Seamaster. GS isn't off the table but I still want something of a tool watch to always have in daily rotation.

$200

The only watch Im interested in is an Apple Watch and I might not even get it tho

I've stopped at 14k - one moonwatch and a grand seiko

Cops really shouldn't be getting into high-speed car chases in modern times, it's highly dangerous and completely unnecessary with modern technology. Just follow the car with a drone until the driver stops and gets out, then arrest them. We just went through something like this in Canada, they pursued the driver when he went the wrong way on the highway to try to evade them, and they hit and killed 3 people.

The cars they drive are already fast enough. I saw a speeder going absurdly fast on the freeway a few years ago. Like, had to be over 100. Then a minute or so later, the cop chasing him went by going way faster. I was astonished.

Needless to say, I passed the pullover a couple miles down the road.

And IIRC that was even one of those SUVs, not even the sedan type.

Yeah I got it for the design, aside from the tiny little Swatch logo it looks just like a Speedmaster. Even a beat to crap used Speedmaster Automatic costs 3-4 times as much.

I wore $20-$30 watches until cell phones made them unnecessary. Dont see myself ever buying a watch again.

Nope I think I paid about $450 on eBay. The strawberry limited edition ones seem to even more expensive today but the regular Moon version goes for barely over retail now.

Artificially; it's just that you can't buy them online and Swatch only has like 15 retail stores. If you go to a store they'll likely have every model available, or on a short waitlist.

Yeah. It's got cute lil strawberrys on the stopwatch second hand.

I've never bought one before and my last company gave me a ~$500 watch as a leaving present so I don't think I'll ever buy one in the future.

Yeah, I paid 400 for a nixon back in 2012. Never spending near that amount again. Im content using fitbits or timex watches.

does it have lightning mcqueen on it

I've wanted a Speedmaster Moonwatch for a few years now.

Settled for this at ~1/10th the price. Just need to get a non-velcro strap for it and I'll be happy enough.

I paid like $800 for a Nixon. Nothing crazy like what you're talking about though.

inb4 horny posting

One opened here last year and there was a lot of buzz around it. But I heard it wasnt very good.

"The board says I got money targets to hit so we better do this or the board will get mad and then muh stocks."

Probably something like that.

they did the thing they said they were going to do months earlier when the game came out

???

IIRC they said it was something about being able to handle cheaters better, but I kinda doubt it.

Nope. The source material sucks. Superman is boring.

"The board says I got money targets to hit so we better do this or the board will get mad and then muh stocks."

Probably something like that.
