  1. Trump criticizes Putin after approving more weapons for Ukraine - Reuters Link "We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin ... He's very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless," Trump said 🙄 The bill, whose lead sponsors are Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, would also punish other countries that trade with Moscow, imposing 500% tariffs on nations that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other exports. If these two are agreeing upon it, perhaps some others should listen.
  2. I'm responding to you but in a broader stroke others as well. Based on my recent experience with the horrible flooding in Eastern Kentucky and Western North Carolina, and broader experience, this process takes time. In about a week or 2, when the news cycles have diminished and attention has dropped off is when more needs will arrise. I don't claim to know exactly what those will be. Sometimes is trash pick up or driving people around, some times just psychological help, sometimes it's chain saws and hauling gear. It varies greatly, but the need is there. @West Kerr Horn noted it briefly but this will take longer than the news cycle will bring attention. Typically, that's when help is needed the most. I'd plug into on of the churches or find a contact out that way and stay tuned in for updates in the near future. That's when you will likely be of the most help. That, of course, can always change, needs might arrise sooner, but typically it is a week or 2 after the event, when most people have moved on that the greatest need for help occur.
  3. That's not what I was talking about. Explaining it you is a waste of time and key stokes. You've always made it clear in every thread that anyone who disagrees with your opinion is factually wrong despite opinions being subjective. You're not in these threads to discuss opinions nor your thoughts on movies, you come in here to tell people why they're stupid and have bad opinions. It's super cool and productive.
  4. Is there a new kink feature in sex bots that aggie has created? I mean.. it tracks but... it's news to me.
  5. Ehhh... I agree it's definitely niche knowledge/conspiracy but I think its a bit broader than you're painting it out to be. For me it ties into the Smiley Face Murder conspiracy which, while niche, is not a small niche. I am very hesitant to go to downtown Austin. Mostly cause its a 14 hour drive for me and I'm too old. Smiley Face Wiki For the record I met @Nicole44 once near a body of water where alcohol was involved and lived to tell tail. Though I did find her parting comment to me a bit disconcerting. "You seem like a nice guy, if a little old, short and fat, but in a pinch... Nice to me you!"
  6. So, prior to watching Oppenheimer you were completely unaware that Nuclear War was bad? That tracks.
  7. I enjoyed Oppenheimer, but there was just way too much "Nuclear was is bad, mmmhhmmkay." The Prestige was a little too proud of itself. Momento was fantastic as was thr Dark Knight. Dunkirk was good but felt a little heavy handed to me but I still enjoyed it. I liked Inception as it was an interesting idea, but it wasn't a great film. I truly enjoy Nolan's work in the broad strokes. He has a fun interesting approach to film in all aspects but he does lean a little heavy towards people are really stupid. Sadly.. while it diminishes some of his films, he's not wrong.
  8. Yeah, running time aside it was a shit show of shitty exposition. I noted in my original post the friend and daughter were the fucking highlights of the episode. Every time Syd opened her pie hole I wanted to fast forward, so much so that at one point I fucking did. The only "new" insight we got was her friend looks great in her fit, the daughter is a good actress, and her friend does her extensions. Also, Syd prefers to shop at Whole Foods in Old Town Chicago. (Well, I picked that part up) Riveting.
  9. AND Priyanka Chopra Jonas in a lot of tight fitting clothes... but who likes that sort of thing.
  10. Not nearly as serious as taking silly movies seriously.
  11. I just want to clarify Worm was NOT a side journey. It was an entire episode of exposition about her choices. 45 minutes of what I view as poorly written exposition. It was not a side journey. Enjoyment is subjective and if you enjoy 45 minutes of poorly written exposition, fair, but it wasn't a side journey and brought no new development to her character arc unless you want to say "we learned she's pretty good with kids", and/or "The actress playing her really sucks at writing metaphore".
  12. Some people enjoy that occasionally Which part of some was unclear in my original post?
  13. Hope you already aligned your boy wonder. @Js1 is spoken for, btw.
  14. Eh.. it's very cliché and predictable but it's John Cena and he's the US president. It's mindless dumb entertainment. Some people enjoy that occasionally. Also:
  15. And that's fair... it's a plan and it too can work. *Carry a lighter at all times. Never know when you need to set yourself on fire or light a joint.
  16. Good post and always a good teaching moment. Situational awareness, plan to avoid, plan to escape. Train for the unexpected, plan for the worst, spend the money and learn. 90% advantage
  17. Just wanted to quickly respond here as I fully agree. I think way too many shows produce X numbers of episodes why Y would have sufficed. Reduce shitty side character archs, reduce overall characters, stick to the main story and stop with the emotional baggage that doesn't drive plot as well as overly extensive back story not relevant to core characters. Also, way too much fucking exposition. You end up with "Worms", when you just wanted to fly fish.
  18. Pretty low bar there buddy. Ahhh... which aspect am I referring to? I really don't give a shit, which is code for I care a lot. But hey, at least you're not as stupid as me, nttiawwt.
  19. C/P from the help page wanted to drop it here too. Following up a bit to what @West Kerr Horn noted above. Spoke with @InkaUtexas who was out there. In good news, the supplies and need for people is well met at this point. He sent me a pic which I will post below. Based on his information it sounds like there isn't a ton of structure nor infrastructure damage. There was a ton of resources from Federal, State and other broad local Texas assistance. There is not currently a need for people nor resources, again based on information from Inka while on site. This may change but its the current reality. In emergency response there are 3 points as a volunteer. 1) Don't add to the issues 2) If you're not contributing you're in the way. 3) If you fall into area 1 or 2, leave. Sounds harsh, but its truth. Inka and his friend found themselves as #2 so they are choosing #3. I told him I would provide this update so I am. Here is 1 pic of all the water at a single location of which there were about 10. First responders had no place to store more goods. They legitimately had too much stuff.

  21. That link was just for donations. Im trying to find a contact at a church or place in the Austin area where a trailer can be parked and efforts can organized for actual materials to collect and be driven. The primary HQ is in Kentucky. Hoping to find a local person. Right now is the time to organize the materials I put in the help thread. They will need them terribly this coming weekend or sooner if possible. People, goods and organization. If someone will provide a contact at a church and someone with a trailer I'll reach out. Feel free to post my list of needs wherever you think will get the best results. We can complain about the politics later, people action and effort is what's needed right now.
  22. Can we get back to news updates? I posted a request for help on the pinned thread as well. Please take a look when you can. So you know a lot of churches. Help me help them?
  23. Well.... um... be mindful of stairs when you're really drunk. I know a guy that died from falling down some while hammered.
  24. Gonna need some details on this perplexing dick bacon. Not because I like dick (nttiawwt) but because I like chicks who like bacon (no Vic, nttiawwt either) and because my friend was asking about it.. for science..
