Ironically the ones that are actually a decent price and look the best are the Air Jordans, but I am not showing up day 1 to a rec league in brand new Jordans. Might as well wear a shooting sleeve...

Get the Jordans and then wear Rec Specs to balance it out :v:

So basically between General Dog and that other dude who was fraudulently using his own address to boost up his required sales numbers, Chat Thread is scaring me a bit with business acumen

I'm just tired of the job really. I think I'm the kind of easygoing boss that I'd like to work under, but not the kind of manager that I'd want to employ if I owned the company. I essentially committed that to the record and they can do with it what they like.

Get the Jordans but go for a hike in the woods with them so it looks like you wear them regularly.

I saw them a couple years ago. It was the same group as what you saw plus Colin. It's extra special because Ryan is from the PNW and makes the jokes extremely local. Hearing him yell "You can back gently caress off back to Sedro-Wooley" doesn't make sense to 90% of Americans but made me lose it.

He got a sales job for like a lawn maintenance service or something and it had a quota for people getting a follow up. He wasn't hitting the quota so he started using his own address to make it look like he was. He got caught and was fired. I don't know him outside this thread but he seemed nice enough except for being a loving idiot when it came to his job.

Ugh I confirmed in January that I did, in fact, want my student loan to be on autopay when I paid my bill but apparently it didn'y stick since I got a call aboug being overdue. I'm about 2 months out from being able to pay it off in full and never deal with this again but I'm irritated.

I think it was a tree-trimming service. And he was still living with his parents into his late 30s.

But, yeah, the whole "quotes from my own address" thing was a hilarious own-goal. I don't know what kind of thought process goes into that.

Her husband cheated on her so she’s protesting by refusing to play the royal game by avoiding the spotlight.

I have never given a single poo poo about the royal family except when the queen died 2 days before I went to London and now with the Kate Middleton stuff.

Either A) she dead or B) they have the worst PR team in the history of the world.

To summarize:

- Kate hasn’t been seen in public in a couple months. The official story was that she had some stomach surgery and was recovering.

- this of course sent conspiracy theorists wild with anything from “she ded” to “she got a BBL and the surgery went horribly wrong”

- to “prove” that she was fine, on Mothers Day (UK celebrated March 10) they posted a picture of her and the kids that is obviously photoshopped or created by AI.

https://x.com/kensingtonroyal/status/1766750995445387393?s=46&t=eGtKhFFooZWFwCmcVJDt3Q

Which of course lead to some pretty amazing memes.

https://x.com/waynedavid81/status/1766838044781383845?s=46&t=eGtKhFFooZWFwCmcVJDt3Q

- everyone pointed out that it was clearly a photoshop, so then “Kate” posted on Twitter (since deleted) that she was an amateur photographer and was bad at photoshop, so sorry. Because the royal family definitely photoshops their own photos.

https://x.com/aidanke42592122/status/1767168960552718338?s=46&t=eGtKhFFooZWFwCmcVJDt3Q

- today someone pointed out that Kate’s face is actually from a Vogue cover photo shot a few years ago

https://x.com/rubynaldrett/status/1767184942859997400?s=46&t=eGtKhFFooZWFwCmcVJDt3Q

Also there was another pic of Kate released of her “in public”
