Scarlet Overkill

I’m starting to feel a bit like this, too. I was very high on them at the end of the year, and optimistic for this year, but there is just too much hype. How many times have we heard, “we’re back!” Only to fall flat on our butts enroute to another embarrassing season and another coach on the hot seat. Now, I don’t for a second think that any result this year will land Frost on the hot seat, but we’ve just been down this road too many times before. Just like last year, I’m not going to worry about the record, I’m just going to watch it unfold the way it unfolds and relish in the good times and drink away the bad.

And feel the toxins enter your body

If you play in the PAC12 on a team not called USC, you’ll never win it. Christian was robbed.

Your sarcasm meter is broken.

Get him a sammy

OMG, I wanted to say that but thought it would come across the wrong way. I thought we were more diverse than this.

Terrible news. Get well soon, coach.

Are you really this bothered by it, or just bored enough to keep commenting your disbelief? FWIW, the dude I said it to, immediately laughed. Pretty sure he was baiting one of us to do it. Also, you really don’t know the dynamics of it. In your work setting, it’s unthinkable, I get it. Maybe it’s a Northeast thing, but the F bomb is very common in all the offices I’ve worked at, so to me, it’s not like this major deal you’re making it out to be. Also, there are things this man has said that are 10000% more offensive without using profanity. I am hesitant to even say it, but amongst other things, he’s been overheard as saying he wants to go to the border and start picking off people... so, which is worse - using profanity one time, or things he repeatedly says? I think most of the time he does it to get me and another girl completely worked up about it, but I think he does believe the crap he peddles and either way THAT is not acceptable work discussion.

and to bring this back to topic, some of us actually called her, Female Trump. (BTW - she wasn't even that old. nor qualified to be a VP, or any aptitude for it, but she could sure hurl word bombs at people)

guess you had to be there? This is the first time i've done anything like that ever. I could no longer zone out with him, and my past, more professional, attempts to get him to stop didn't work. Which is worse - listening non stop to rants of any kind all day, or 10 seconds of stfu? Believe it or not, we get along great when he's not whining about everything.

you should have heard how our VP talked at my last company. Screaming F bombs on an hourly basis that could be heard in China. Meanwhile, we shared a suite with another company and her office was right by people from the other company who had to talk with customers on the phone.

whoa - who said anything about being a victim?

Do I sense some butthurtedness?

Money talks... and prevents talking. That and threats of violence. Just saying. Again, it’s your call to believe or not. My stance is - what is the harm in believing the alleged victims? Get them help in some way, even if they’re making it up. Believe them at first until proven otherwise. If they made it up, what’s the angle? The perfect victim is always the outcast from broken homes, or street trash that no one would ever believe anything they say over a wealthy person in a position of power, or law enforcement. Some priminant people at the OWH were allegedly involved, and it was not in their best interest to publish the truth. But no one in the news or law enforcement would ever be corrupt or lie or anything like that, right? Back then, that was unheard of for people to question any of these entities. Now, it should be expected to question everything. How’d Epstein get away with his stuff for so long without actual tangible prosecution? How’d Trump? Connections, wealth, power, money. there was a financial scandal at Franklin CU. The charges for that actually stuck. It’s always the money that gets them into power, and then takes them down. Did Al Capone get taken down for all the violent crimes he committed? No, it was tax evasion.

I don’t think it was a hoax. The problem is that those in power have the ability to squelch victims, like we’re seeing come to light now. I read Sen. John DeCamp’s book on the matter. I could read it thinking the whole time that it was all make believe, since that was the only way I could get through it. That is, until I found out that a friend of mine knew one of the people mentioned (found “suicided”) in the book pretty well. (Was a roommate to her boyfriend at one time, who I also knew). it got pretty real then. Too many dots connect too well for it have been a “Carefully Crafted Hoax”, as it is deemed. (I only even went down that rabbit hole to begin with because Graham Spanier was at UNL and also at PSU during Sandusky’s ring and was just hoping I would find there was no connection but the rabbit hole on this goes pretty far down.) I mean, I don’t blame people for not believing it - it’s too horrific to even comprehend. A person with any kind of ethic/moral compass should hope and PRAY it’s false. But, the MO for these people really never changes.
