  1. Past hour
  2. The British lost the war after a Prussian turned the Continental Army into a real fighting force and the French blockade and assistance. Most engagements were with line infantry. The citizen soldier in the bushes is mostly a myth.
  3. Derka cares. I'll make a comment on the arc of this thread (and many others), and then hopefully move on. (Who am I kidding?): This is surlyhorns, a board full of assholes. I mean, I cannot count the number of times I've seen extremely disparaging references to myself by posters who I barely recognize, and way more often than not I just laugh and think "OK". Taking these arguments personally is a really, really bad idea. People don't like my politics, they don't like my music opinions, they don't like my limited experience playing sports (for fuck's sake all I ever did was wrestle and bowl). That's fine, make your bed and lie in it. The vast majority of posters just really don't give a shit and CERTAINLY don't keep "receipts" about random arguments. Are the mental health potshots OK? Not in a million years. The rest of it? Just surly back and forth. I cannot possibly remember who insulted me yesterday much less years ago, but here we are. C'est la vie?
  4. This jersey may or may not be in my possession. That and an EJ Holub signed helmet are my 2 favorite sportsy things.
  5. They should have kept that shit on the shelf. No one asked what it would be like to experience an alien invasion via Teams. At least I'm getting paid at work to sit in on shitty meetings.
  6. The problem with the "let them fight" approach is that the more loathsome republicans get....the more powerful they get. It's not that there is no bottom, it's that up is down and down is up. Child rapist? Homewrecker? Abuser? Just a giant piece of shit? WELCOME TO REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP! THOSE ARE ALL THE QUALITIES WE'RE LOOKING FOR, BECAUSE THEY MAKE THA LIBZ CRY!
  7. This is how it's done:
  8. Those kinda suck, imo.
  9. I don't know what changed, but it seems lately no matter how much I dominate a game in the first half, I'll be up like 42-0 and have 6-7 sacks, in the second half the CPU becomes completely unstoppable and has the perfect call for any defense I call, no matter how shitty the team I'm against is. I never end up losing, but it's beyond frustrating because the CPU just drives down the field, suddenly you can't get any pressure at all, your DBs are miles away from every receiver, and the CPU QB has an insanely unrealistic completion rate in the 2nd half. It makes the game really unfun because it's obviously the game scripting CPU drives to try and force closer games for "realism", but it actually makes the game feel less realistic.
  10. How did this turn into the gun thread?
  11. I’m in NYC every other month so can make it work. If you aren’t in a city it probably isn’t worth it anymore.
  12. I think Derka may be my ex-wife. God forbid we don't agree about something and her viewpoint turns out to be more accurate, I'd have to constantly hear about it for the next year.
  13. Nobody wears goggles in an F16 unless they are changing the oil.
  14. I'm going to try to forget Cooper Hummel but am willing to remember if he comes back next year to get his ring. I assume he will be out of baseball, so that will be a nice moment.
  15. Imagine asking your daughter to plunge into the “is my mom a a skank” debate on the internet.
  16. Rowdy Fookin Lads
  17. This. All rules, norms, and old ways are gone. Dead. Fighting based on policy, ideas, and the ability to communicate them is like the British army lining up for an orderly battle when the enemy is picking you off from the trees with squirrel guns. There are no rules anymore. None. Correction. There is one rule: win. And a corollary rule: once you win, do not cede power. Ever. The playing field and rules have been set by the opposition. So be it. Play to win. It is LITERALLY the only thing that matters.
  18. If your cookies go away you have to log in again.
  19. Well, yeah. Gotta start climbing the ladder, so she can run for (and win) POTUS in 2040 or so.
