I was there for this and had it occurred about 30 minutes later, there would have been a bunch of dead high schoolers. I *GET* rolling eyes about tornado worries but I also understand the precaution from school officials.

Just to play devils advocate couldn’t you say well if it rolled through a neighborhood where everyone had gone home from work and school there would’ve been less dead had they stayed at work and school?
Like I said, most of those places are built out of concrete.
I’m not a vet but a basement is crucial if you’re going to be “that house.” Every multi kid sleepover house I went to we always stayed in the basement. Otherwise it was a 1 or 2 kid at a time thing.
When we eventually move a finished basement will be high on the list to host stuff like that.
This is GYERO. We all have finished basements, home theaters, media rooms, golf simulators, she sheds, man caves, etc.
Yeah, we apparently got some roof damage in Evansville.
You got room in the boat to take Rogue fishing today? I'll pay for the gas.
Hey dipshit. Check out the first photo in the GD article. It shows multiple collapsed classrooms in a (wait for it) masonry building.
Had the tornado occurred at 8 am rather than 7:30 am, those classrooms would have been filled with school kids and pre-COVID lunatic teachers (so worth saving, imo).
STFU.
“I am the storm.”
I didn’t click the article and I said devils advocate, if you know what that means, you’ll understand that as a “what if” not an I think this should’ve happened instead.
Also, the principal ordered kids to stay on the buses which saved many lives.
The issue isn’t whether the kids are in a building when a tornado hits, it’s if they are on a bus or waiting on a bus or walking to or from school. Last time I checked tornados don’t send you an outlook invite with a date and time if their arrival, so playing it safe is the way to go.
Also, people seem to think that kids today are the ones canceling school. It’s the adults, you guys realize that, right? It’s not gen z being soft, it’s literally our generation. We’re also the ones handing out participation trophies in case you haven’t figured that out.
I know it makes me a bad parent but I can’t stand sleepovers. Those little ******** will play nerf hoop ALL night, right above my bedroom. It actually does sound like a tornado. I need a basement bad.

When the 9 year old gets invited to sleepover at her friend's things can be louder.
I enjoy.
I enjoy.

If the tweet is true we could lose UL and UT as every year opponents which is absolute garbage.
Those are literally our two biggest rivals for like almost a century (I know we didn’t play UL for a long time but my whole life we basically have).
I mean, does anyone here seriously get up for Miss State and South Carolina (who we’ve dominated for most of the stoops era) really get up for those games?
No we get riled up and pissing vinegar for UL & UT.

The only thing we care about on sleepovers is:
1- Kitchen is closed for food at 10pm. If you didn’t know what time it is, that’s not my problem.
2- Kitchen is closed for drinks at 11pm. Again not my problem.
We don’t care how long they stay up playing Fortnite, Minecraft, Mario Cart or Call of Duty. But I don’t want to hear a single complaint when my 6YO or 3YO are ready to play and jumping all over anyone to wake up.
I won’t stop them, and again it’s not my problem so no tattle telling!
All kids must be gone by 1pm so my next day isn’t wrecked by extra kids being around causing me to not be able to do things in a fashion where I have to plan around them or their parents……..won’t be my problem. All messes are cleaned immediately after kids leave, and if my kids are smart they’ll have their friends help before they leave.
If any of these rules are broken and become my problem, no more sleepovers.
Amazingly it sounds very overbearing and authoritarian but most of the kids love our house more than theirs still which tells me what I remember about being a kid. Set boundaries and kids are usually respectful and happy to oblige………don’t set boundaries and you’ll be the only one that’s miserable frustrated for no reason really.

Hey chief don’t steal my thunder bro, I know you haven’t blocked me. I genuinely always liked you. Back in the days of urban active you were a real nice fella to be around. Also, why I never pile on you. Dude is a genuine guy.
That’s a joke just fyi.

The entire top of my neighbor’s tree (4 stories high) just sheared off and landed on another neighbor’s tree. We have no power. Meanwhile my wife is texting asking where we’re going for dinner.
He posted KU’s 2-point FG% (which includes dunks, contested 20-footers, and everything in between) as proof that the mid range jumper is great.
You truly can’t make this stuff up. Psycho clown.
Nice evening for a picnic. Get out into a heavily wooded area and really ENJOY the power and majesty of nature.
Give her directions and tell her you'll meet her there.

Generator came on seamlessly, have every light on including front porch, and producing crazy amounts of noise pollution. Now I just hope one of these 80 year old oaks don't land on my house.
We're 30th in offensive efficiency. If you take out the scrub schools that don't really count we're 16th (e.g., leave in Gonzaga, St Mary's and Power 5 schools, take out Toledo, Detroit, etc.). What's your answer to that Mr. Sabermetrics PTI?
Allow me, PTI -----> you're a waterhead.
We’re also a 10-seed if the tournament starts today. That’s my answer.
Welp, we’re at the Mexican restaurant. They don’t give two f***s about the weather either.
Just ordered the Uber which is 15 mins away, in laws just arrived, getting ready to go downtown for date night. I might as well be an 8 year old and the clock is 2PM on the last day of school. Lord get me TF out of this house and with a cocktail in my hand.
1pm?!
10am is testing the limit in this household. Breakfast then it’s time to call Mom and Dad.
I appreciate your consistency, if nothing else.
Eh, even when the 4-6 extras leave I’m stuck with 7 so whatever, and most of the kids that come over love playing with our little kids so it’s just more “help” usually!
UCL/MP is talking to himself again.
Yep. Back in the day, when my kids were young, GENERALLY speaking, your children having friends over (provided you have enough room in your house to separate them from you and your wife (or, if it's a nice day, a yard they can play in) provided a break. IIRC though, when it goes bad, it REALLY goes bad.
Activities that are fvcking GUARANTEED to start a fight: finger paints, crayons (if you don't have enough for everyone to have every color, and the mother of all fight starters, I mean NOTHING comes close to this. WATER BALLOONS. My ex-wife ALWAYS bought those things, and it NEVER failed to start WWIII in the backyard.
Stupid *****.
Good luck navigating around the Arnold Clientele
Congrats @KingLlama on the big Kraken win in Columbus tonight. Hope you enjoyed the arena where UK lost to UAB in 2004.
Seems pretty spot on to me.
Always seems to be the one kid whose parents just assumed their kid was ours for the day too and they don't show up till much later. Assuming they got trashed the night before, don't care, or just ****** parents? Anyway that one isn't that kids fault but we keep that one on our mental list next time a sleepover happens as to discourage that invite. Maybe we are ****** too.
Always love the awkward conv when one of the step parents usually show up several hrs late and you see it's a divorced situation where custody etc issues and the they are talking some bs and you don't care
