polishgenius Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 It makes him sound like he thinks he's the one who decides the race is over, or that he's the only person qualified to notice that it's tipped definitely in one direction.

I mean, it is him calling the race. And yes, he's at least just as qualified as anyone else to make such calls. Considering news orgs' general and usual reluctance to do so, I appreciate someone credentialed doing it. I suppose adopting a catchphrase is kinda tacky, but this is America. It could be a lot worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IheartIheartTesla Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 His fans (or more precisely, followers on twitter) practically beg him to say it for many important races. Oftentimes with the Simpsons meme and accompanying text 'say it Dave', I guess he just plays into it a bit. In small sh*z, I broke down and got an air fryer (as in, got it as an award for work stuff). Will see what the fuss is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFatCoward Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Work has finally unlocked the board so I don't have to post from my phone anymore, expect much longer responses and more rambling from me moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhaenysBee Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 The upside of hysterical crying fits is that they clean your sinuses like a dream. The shit I just bawled into a six pieces of tissue paper has been stuck in my face for weeks. A bit more drama and I may actually get out of this cold.

Raja Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 The best part about switching to wireless earbuds is that I can change clothes without having to pause the song or worry about the wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGP Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Be glad you don’t have glasses then, Raja. Only been a few years for me and I still fall asleep with them on, or fling them across the room taking off a hoodie or whatever lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 All outweighed by the fact you look daft as fuck. It's the 21st century equivalent of pince-nez.

Raja Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Nah, some wireless earbuds look terrible - like the apple ones, but there are plenty that look decent. You have no choice if your phone does not have a headphone jack Also, I've had wireless headphones for ages for my computer and they're ace. I wouldn't go back to wired ones at home *at all*. Same with wired mice. Lastly, I'm old enough not to care what it looks like to other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry of the Lawn Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Wireless headphones have made my work life much more bearable. I don't wear earbuds, mine kind of look like studio monitors but no wires. They also have a mic so I can do hands free phone calls at work. I doubt I'll ever get the earbud style ones because I don't like how they feel. I've gotten a lot of laughs out of the airpods though, the first year they came out, when I was loading chairs at the ski mt, people would come up and ask if anyone had turned in any airpods at the lost and found. White airpods. On a ski mt. In the spring melt it's a veritable harvest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLastWolf Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Well my grandfather asked if we millennials have any hearing problems all of a sudden these past few years airpods became the norm...it reminded him of the aids you see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sw33t Summ3r Ch1ld Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I sang OTHERSIDE by Beyoncé to my grandma who died several years ago. I cried but I think I am going to be okay. I was sort of going through some bereavement. And doing this seemed to say I Love You. I live in the house of my Dad’s family that he bought once she passed away and she died here. I hope that this experience might have reached her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for home that are headphones probably similar to yours, though mine are more specific to a gaming headset & then my earbuds when i'm out. I want to get a new pair of headphones as I've had my current pair for like 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
