  1. I don’t think there’s going to be any appetite to reduce the sanctions. How would the West benefit from that besides a possible (slight) reduction in energy costs?
  2. It’s clear that this whole thing is about Putin still being butt hurt over the loss of the Cold War and his desire to restore the old USSR. Looks like the battle for Kherson is going to start soon and due to their myopic focus on Sveredonetsk, the Russians appear unprepared. Very nice.
  3. It was obvious that he didn’t have anything left last inning.
  4. If there’s one thing you find in every great CWS team, it’s a TEAM ONLY meeting where one group berates another group for their poor performance. aggy is truly a bastion of great leadership.
  5. I’m sure Jay Monahan is absolutely loving watching Phil hack his way around the course.
  6. Four-putting from 20 feet isn’t a good look.
  7. Back to this morning’s news, the loss of the third bridge to Sveredonetsk is clearly a bad thing. But the Ukrainian command has shown an excellent ability to plan their operations with a view on strategic (not tactical) victory so I’m hoping that the anticipated this outcome and planned accordingly. At the very least I hope that they stored enough food / water / ammunition / medicine inside the Azot chemical plan to withstand a months-long siege given the experience of Azovstal.
  8. Well at least we already have evidence that the Saudis are serious about changing their ways and being more tolerant.
  9. They will let them play due to past champion status. Assuming LIV is around for more than a few years though, this problem will take care of itself. LIV players won’t be winning any new majors and the current past champions will retire.
  10. I agree - I’m sure this is part of their plan. Give a few million in guaranteed money and they’ll get someone to bite. The issue is that the quality of play on the PGA Tour is based on everyone having to earn their card. Go check out the NCAA individual golf champions for the past 10 years. Sure, there are names like DeChambeau, Matt Wolff, and Max Homa. But alongside them are Braden Thornberry, Broc Everett, and Cameron Wilson. The “Invitational” aspect of LIV means that the quality of play is going to nosedive unless they do what they intended to do all along - poach established players from the existing tours.
  11. All the players going to LIV are losers, misfits, or past their prime. Everyone worth a shit sees the PGA and the opportunities it provides through sponsorships, the Champions Tour, and the pension as the better choice. Even if you didn’t have to ignore morality and become a stooge in a propaganda effort designed to improve the image of an evil dictator, the PGA makes more sense. If you’re worried about losing your tour card in a few months it probably makes sense to take the money and run. The team aspect of LIV is pure cringe. Oh wow, I can’t wait to see what the Niblicks do this week! The Hy Flyers and 4 Aces are really at each other’s throats after that 9th hole!! LIV was initially expecting to get a couple hundred million for broadcast rights. A few weeks ago, I read they were offering the rights for free to anyone who would take them. And yet here we are with their first event being broadcast on Facebook and YouTube. I don’t give two shits about who wins any LIV events and in a few weeks, once the novelty has worn off, neither will anyone else.
  12. I’m sure he’s thrilled about the accolades.
  13. https://www.instagram.com/tv/CeeSZfXFew9/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Absolutely insane video of an Azov Battalion sniper in close combat with Russians in Donbas.
  14. Good article about the cultural effects of the invasion in Ukraine. Putin fucked up big time. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jun/04/enemy-tongue-eastern-ukrainians-reject-their-russian-birth-language
  15. The safest interpretation of any Russian announcement is the opposite of what was stated. American delivery of MLRS makes no difference on the battlefield = we are deathly afraid of them. We have plenty of weapons = we are critically short of weapons.
  16. Russian officers clearly aren’t required to adhere to any physical fitness standards. Most unimpressive group I’ve ever seen.
  17. My understanding is that UKR had ~180,000 active duty troops before the invasion. The current mobilization has the goal of increasing that to 1 million. Even with the exodus / displacement of nearly 7 million people, they still have a population in country of nearly 40 million. As long as they maintain the will to fight and we continue supplying them with weapons, they won’t lose due to lack of fighters.
  18. Aside from murdering civilians and stealing washing machines, is the Russian military actually good at anything?
  19. 9.95 articles featuring promising reports on freshman OL make me wonder if I’m in the wrong forum.
  20. Elon has now announced that he has a “super bad” feeling about the economy, all hiring is paused worldwide, and Tesla headcount needs to be reduced by 10%.
  21. No way man, that’s some conspiracy theory stuff. A company would never deliberately create a culture centered around the idea that work and social life are one in the same in order to exploit their employees.
