I get a nice kick out of reading people complain about how the M brand is "diluted" and "it's not the same anymore"

The full M brand is alive and well in my opinion. The M variants are fun and priced accordingly. Both have a place and I do get annoyed when the two get confused in general conversation but no differently than anything else. Had a neighbor last week that we stopped to talk to (kept 10' distance) on our Polaris. He was telling me about his friends new Supra he just bought. How it was the same motor as a BMW M motor and had 550hp. I tried to explain that it was the engine used in a M240i and other Mxxx cars. That it didn't have 550hp. He wasn't having it. Then asked me if our X3MC was sporty. I just said yea, it's sporty. Carry on Chad, carry on.

My husband got me into watching Survivor. And although I'm disappointed they don't fight to the death, it has taught me some about office politics.

How much more enjoyable would "reality" TV be if they had to fight to the death???

If someone had the guts to do it, the whole nation would grind to a halt as we watched it unfold. I even have this idea where each state could send a "tribute", and if your tribute won the whole state would get some special federal benefits ...

OK, at least now it makes sense.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who does this, but perhaps the first one posting about it in this thread.

Now that all my meetings are videoconferences, my favorite activity is to zoom in on everyone's video feed and decide which participant gets the "Most Bangable" award. That and i also like to look for any cool stuff visible in their rooms

Extremely upset with Chase bank. I called in April 15 to dispute purchase done in CA via debit card, card was cancel. It will take 3 to 5 business day to receive new one. Ok fine.
Today no debit card in hand. I found out it took Chase 2 business days to process my claim. I found out I couldve option for 2 day shipping and received debit card by Saturday.
Now i have to wait if it arrives by Thursday or Friday. Bank near me is closed, my debit card is inactive as of April 15.
Who sends replacement debit card by regular mail?
Send it to UPS or Fedex I will pay the fee. I been locked out of my funds all this time.

rant over lol

I'm surprised anyone still uses debit cards to be honest. My friend has had his debit card hacked twice now and they emptied his bank account. Both times were from gas stations. Yeah, he got the money back through the bank, but what a PITA. I'll never use mine.

At least the one time my credit card got compromised they cancelled the card and sent a new one in 2 days and the money never left my account. I view it as a safety net.

For all you people on SM who think Covid is a conspiracy and asking "do you know someone who personally has it/".

My daughter called me last night crying her eyes out as she witnessed her first death from this virus yesterday.

Woman was in her 70's....nothing else really wrong with her as she had a clean history of health...just older.

She had no family and my daughter held her hand as she died because she had no one else to be with her.

So FU@K all of you who think this isn't real!

SM?

Also keeping your daughter in my prayers. I have a high school friend who is in a hospital in Seattle and can't even imagine what that is like.

Social Media.

I'm not on FB, but in our area apparently there are a lot of people who are asking if they personally know anyone who has the virus...basically questioning the validity of it.
