I have a bit of a story to tell.

In my CP US History class, we're gonna be taking a field trip on Wednesday to the Abraham Lincoln Museum. For the bus ride, our teacher came up with the idea of making a music playlist for the ride to and from (since it's about three hours round-trip).

I added some songs that i like. A majority of it was metal, because i like metal, but i switched it up a bit: among the Metallicas and AC/DCs and Judas Priests i threw in some Nelly, and Phil Collins, and Creedence Clearwater Revival (before you ask, no, it was not Fortunate Son, i'm not THAT basic. If you want to know, it was Bad Moon Rising) among others.

The next day, I checked in on it, and someone else added a whole lot more metal, but it was a whole lot more emo and sh*t (My Chemical Romance, Three Days Grace, etc.). It got a pop out of me, but everyone else had the collective opinion of "y'all's music taste is trash". Everyone was talking trash about it. Most of the people that were clowning on the playlist were my good friends. I swear to god, i heard my best friend who i've known since kindergarten say "Who is Pantera?" I straight up almost jumped up out of my chair and walked home. I had no idea that a man that i could call my friend could be so violently uncultured. They all decided to go through it and purge all the stuff they don't like.

Surprisingly, i didn't get much flak for it myself, mainly because the other kid is an easier target (this kid is openly gay and i live in a town where a good 90% of the population thinks that the 2020 election was rigged). Man has like a scene hairstyle fresh out of 2008, and wears like all black (usually metal band t-shirts. As far as i know, he's not one of those posers that wears like a Slayer t-shirt and then can't name three Slayer songs. He listens to Slayer).

Over the weekend, i looked at it, and those folks just removed all the Metallica and added more rap (which really isn't a bad thing to me, i like a bit of rap). A part of me believed that the only metal band they all collectively knew was Metallica, and that's actually kinda sad. I just thought to myself "Okay, maybe i added too much Metallica for their tastes, let's just keep it to Enter Sandman and call it a day".


TL: DR: I figured out my friends are uncultured last week.


I suffer from Bipolar music taste disorder lol. I like a bit of pop, (cant stand breakup pop like olivia rodrigo etc), some hip hop, and old school rock. My playlist is messed. One minute itll be some eminem, then bieber, then acdc. I need help lol

The reason I ask is because I need a mentor. I’ve made big mistakes in the gm game. A lot of people dislike me and some have me blocked, I just need to learn how to be in it the right way

When you have a lot of free time, you take an idea and think way too much on it.

Over the weekend, i read a bit about the old A1 Grand Prix series, which ran from 2005 to 2009. It was essentially a World Cup of auto racing, where over 20 different teams represented their country. This got me thinking:

How would I set up my own World Cup of Auto Racing?

First off, it would be an open wheel series, and all drivers will be required to have open-wheel experience anywhere from Formula Ford/Renault to Indycar or Formula 1. 20 drivers from 20 countries will participate, and the countries and drivers that represent them are as follows:

United States: Josef Newgarden
Canada: Lance Stroll
Mexico: Patricio O'Ward
Venezuela: Pastor Maldonado
Brazil: Pietro Fittipaldi
Great Britain: Lando Norris
Spain: Carlos Sainz
France: Romain Grosjean
Germany: Mick Schumacher
Netherlands: Max Verstappen
Italy: Antonio Giovinazzi
Sweden: Marcus Ericsson
Finland: Valtteri Bottas
Russia: Daniil Kvyat
India: Jehan Daruvala
Thailand: Alexander Albon
China: Guanyu Zhou
Japan: Takuma Sato
Australia: Will Power
New Zealand: Scott Dixon

Onto the cars themselves, it would obviously be a spec series. All drivers would drive the Dallara IR-18, powered by the Honda Indy V6. So, in other words, your average, run-of-the-mill Indycar with Honda power.

The schedule has to be the hardest part. I think i have it down, though.

Round 1: United States (Indianapolis Motor Speedway)
Round 2: Canada (Circuit Gilles Villleneuve)
Round 3: Mexico (Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez)
Round 4: Venezuela (San Carlos Circuit)
Round 5: Brazil (Autodromo Jose Carlos Pace)
Round 6: Great Britain (Brands Hatch)
Round 7: Spain (Circuito de Jerez)
Round 8: France (Circuit de Nevers-Magny Cours)
Round 9: Germany (Hockenheimring)
Round 10: Netherlands (Zandvoort)
Round 11: Italy (Imola)
Round 12: Sweden (Anderstorp Raceway)
Round 13: Finland (Helsinki Thunder)
Round 14: Russia (Sochi Autodrom)
Round 15: India (Madras Race Track)
Round 16: Thailand (Chang International Circuit)
Round 17: China (Shanghai International Circuit)
Round 18: Japan (Twin Ring Motegi)
Round 19: Australia (Melbourne Street Circuit)
Round 20: New Zealand (Rapauna Raceway)

How did i do? What would you change? Give me your feedback.

I like this idea a lot.

My one change would be to pivot away from Venezuela. I think racing there would be a lost cause given all the issues that plague the country. I'd love to see Pastor back, but it is tough to sell anything relating to Venezuela. I would replace Venezuela with Colombia's Autodromo de Tocancipá, and have Colombia be represented by good ole' Juan Pablo Montoya.

made an NHL 22 franchise mode, felt like making a rundown of some things that have happened over the course of this franchise mode that i can remember

Patrice Bergeron left BOS to sign with MTL in 2022-23 FA... and i may or may not have traded him somewhere else in turn (dont remember where, but i wanted Suzuki as the 1C and Bergeron was "clogging" the spot)
and since Bergeron left BOS, their top line centre was Erik Haula
I had (i think) the second overall pick (from a trade, again, i dont remember many of these trades), which turned into a dude named Jakob Vasilyev. my offense was already lethal, so i traded him to DET for Moritz Seider. little did i know how much of an impact Seider would make on my team.
...aaaand Vasilyev won the Calder with Detroit lmao
i somehow managed to get the first AND second overall picks in the 2022 draft, which means that SHANE WRIGHT SZN LETS G- no wait he got sent down
Rasmus Sandin became a Canadien in a trade involving JEFF F*CKING PETRY, TJ Brodie, and Justin Holl. still surprised i pulled that off.
Matt Dumba's also on MTL, not sure how i got him though
Denis Gurianov and Jake Oettinger were saved from the wrath of DAL_AI_COACH (not an actual name, but i doubt NHL has rick bowness in the game. or any other coach for that matter)
at the 22/23 TDL, a HUGE blockbuster trade took place, sending Dylan Larkin, Tyler Bertuzzi, Robby Fabbri, and Keith Yandle (no idea why Detroit signed him) to the Canadiens, in exchange for a package of prospects (dont remember who it involved, but i know for a fact that Jan Mysak was in it, because i proceeded to immediately get him back in a separate trade)
... and none of that paid off. We didn't make the playoffs. AAAAND CALGARY HAD THE CANADIENS FIRST (Jonathan Drouin and a first were sent to CGY for the return of Tyler Toffoli) so this was not good. oh and did i mention the highest pick MTL has is a fifth round pick?
BUT THIS IS NHL 22 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, I CAN TRADE FOR THE FIRST OVERALL PICK, WHICH I DID. and i believe it involved five pieces; joel edmundson, two firsts (2026&2027), christian dvorak, and a second round pick in i dont remember when.
it may seem like a high price, but with the first overall pick, the Montreal Canadiens select CONNOR BE- *reads paper* Ludvig Viklund? (not a real player)
and this player just so happens to be MEDIUM FRANCHISE potential. safe to say we've found our winger for Suzuki & Caufield
in the 2023 offseason, none of Larkin, Bertuzzi, or Yandle resigned with the Canadiens. they were replaced with Vladimir Tarasenko, JT Compher, and Jonathan Toews. yes its not much
as of now, the lineup stands as (if i can remember correctly):

[87] Denis Gurianov - [87] Nick Suzuki - [88] Vladimir Tarasenko
[85] Tyler Toffoli - [82] Shane Wright - [82] Ludvig Viklund
[86] Cole Caufield - [85] Jonathan Toews - [86] Josh Anderson*
[83] Robby Fabbri - [37] JT Compher - [forgot who was here, but they're 83 ovr]
[82] Cody Glass - [81] Jesse Ylonen

[84] Rasmus Sandin - [86] Moritz Seider
[83] Alexander Romanov - [85] Matt Dumba
[81] Mattias Norlinder - [forgot who was here too]
[and theres a dman scratch]

[84] Jake Oettinger
[81] Cayden Primeau

Apparently the senior prank for this year was to fill every unlocked classroom (including the hallways) with balloons

I've already heard four pops and the day hasn't even officially started yet

i feel like the entire school will come out of this day with shellshock

F1 2020 can create the perfect timeline.

Sebastian Vettel retired after season 2, so that brought in Tonio to partner Charles Leclerc.
