  1. but still...
  2. Or wait until say November or December when temps are a wee bit cool and just take out large parts of the Russian power grid. No way they have the air defenses to protect their grid around Moscow and St. Petersburg.
  3. Clearly the solution is to *checks notes* have your social media platform-turned-AI crank out shitty AI porn so your incel fan base stays home in mom’s basement jerking off rather than getting out and meeting real people and trying to procreate.
  4. The MAGA in my family are losing a bit of steam. Granted, about half my family is rural and of that, putting aside the olds, a lot of them are either in agriculture or rely upon it on some way (bank employees, auto dealers, etc. in the surrounding areas). DOGE really fucked around with some of them - I don't think they paid attention to who was buying their product down the line in the past. Of course, they don't grumble about Trump, but instead about Leon, but I like to remind some of them who put Leon in there, and that if Vance's crew get their way, DOGE will be nothing compared to what they will do. And that's before tariffs really take their toll.
  5. Oh, they loved putting their jobs or college on hold so Abbott could get his photo ops while they played border patrol (and getting paid less than Border Patrol/ICE). If they get shipped off to Chicago for Trump's photo ops and they end up fucking cleaning parks. and especially if it drags into winter, well just keep it up and let's talk about retention a few years down the road when contracts come up. And if they are going to constantly be photographed and have their shit plastered all over social media memes and ridiculed/cussed at by Chicagoans, yeah, fucking great for retention.
  6. Trump is a fucking developer and has never shown any comprehension when it comes to why we have such a large military, and why so much of it is deployed overseas, because it doesn't directly affect people like him - we don't do it because we want democracy around the world (although that would be great), we do it because we want to project American power, both financial and military. Where we project power, American companies can do business. During the Cold War, if a country was within the Soviet sphere-of-influence, American companies were not going to get in there to pick up contracts or sell stuff or strip the resources out. We keep ships on the ocean to keep sea lanes open, etc.
  7. Will they show up at the polls next year without Trump at the top of the ticket, and with all of the Epstein/Maxwell stuff that will come out in the next 11 months? Many sure as well won't be excited.
  8. Tha fuck you doing on this thread during a game?
  9. The woman he wrote it about went on to kill John Belushi.
  10. On Tuesday, Jack Osbourne had some charged words for Roger Waters after the Pink Floyd co-founder said in the press that he "never did" care about Black Sabbath and "couldn't give a fuck" about Ozzy Osbourne. "Hey Roger Waters, fuck you," Jack wrote on Instagram. "How pathetic and out of touch you've become. The only way you seem to get attention these days is by vomiting out bullshit in the press." "My father always thought you were a cunt," he added, using the hashtag #fuckrogerwaters. "Thanks for proving him right." In a recent interview with The Independent Ink, Waters seemed to have some pointed words about Osbourne, and also Black Sabbath's music. "Ozzy Osbourne, who just died, bless him in his whatever state that he was in his whole life," he said in the interview. "We'll never know. The music, I have no idea. I couldn't give a fuck." Waters added: "I don't care about Black Sabbath, I never did. Have no interest in biting the heads of chickens or whatever they do. I couldn't care less, you know." (To be clear, the bat incident happened during Ozzy's solo career, not while in Black Sabbath.) —- Osbourne spoke highly of Pink Floyd throughout his life, and called "Money" one of his favorite rock songs in an interview with Rolling Stone in 2004. Meanwhile, Waters has seemingly always been a Black Sabbath hater, and reportedly gave a mean review of their debut song, "Evil Woman," in 1970, according to Far Out Magazine. "Well, well, well... I'm speechless - well, almost..." Waters said at the time. "You keep thinking it's going to start. You think that for the first minute, but then, if you are really perceptive, you realise it isn't going to start, and that's all there is."
  11. That was so fucking embarrassing.
  12. In this timeline, it absolutely makes sense that a former heroin junkie who literally had a worm living in his brain because the motherfucker couldn't pass up bushmeat is trying to undo decades of work that eradicated a lot of horrible diseases.
  13. Or you get elected to a second term, four years later.
  14. And Florida getting rid of mandatory vaccinations for certain diseases for schoolchildren is the outcome of this. Make no mistake, Texas is considering ditching the requirements for schoolchildren to get certain vaccines as well, but from what I've heard, our little dustup with measles spooked some folks and/or embarrassed them. They did not like being mocked for making measles great again. Part of the problem is, at least in the case of Florida, you have a bunch of gen-Xers making the call, and outside of chicken pox, none of us have really experienced any major preventable diseases in large numbers, before there were vaccines, and our one big outbreak, COVID-19, was mismanaged from the start and became politicized. You would have thought though that it would have shaken up a lot of us - after all, it was our parents and aunts and uncles (and even grandparents/great aunts/uncles) or friends' parents/aunts/uncles that were dying from it, but team political bullshit and all. Things like polio - that was something that an older relative might have been affected by (or killed by) a decade or two before we were born, and we didn't experience it first-hand with classmates or cousins our age.
  15. BF1942 one of my favorite all-time games, and I occasionally re-install it and get it up and running. Been a few years, may have to re-install it again. That and Tribes 2 were such a blast with co-workers after work.
