  1. Height for men is like breast size on women: Generally more is better, to a point. Like many things, it can be a deal breaker when you are young when it comes to long term relationships. There are people out there who prefer the itty bitty titty committee, just like some women value a short king, but that's not the norm. As people age, we tend to start caring less about certain physical qualifiers and are more looking for companionship. I'm talking relationship parameters. Woman will lower their standards just like men when they want to drink and fuck. As a manlet myself, I've never found it to be an issue, but I also have a charming personality.
  2. Trade Deadline is 6 weeks away and they took the first bullshit offer they got. This is the equivalent of bidding out a painting job, and the first guy doesn't really want to do it, so he qoutes you 100K for two rooms, and you go "DEAL, WHEN CAN YOU START?!"
  3. Chuck's gonna pull out that puffer, then people are gonna know the Dems are serious.
  4. It's wild how much the entire Islamic world is basically: I'm all good. That ain't none of my business.
  5. TBC: i'm not referring to before the Israeli attacks, i'm referring to after. I also don't entirely subscribe to the idea that the Iranians would immediately or quickly nuke Israel (in the time before ths war started), although I do think it would instantly become leverage in the various ME proxy wars that currently occur. I'm sure the Israelis are also terrified the Iranians could use it to gain leverage in Palestinian negotiations on a two state solution that would totally destablize the Israeli political situation if forced into a deal the right wingers couldn't accept. My point is now that Israel has engaged a broad across-the-board attack, the Iranians would probably attempt to nuke or threaten to nuke Israel upon acquiring a deliverable weapon. So Israel now has to destroy the Iranian program or have the Iranian's give it up in an acceptable way. And if they can't destry Fodrow with conventional weapons, they'll use nuclear, and that makes it our problem (in addition to conventional warhead destruction of Fodrow could be essentially a dirty bomb, which is a disaster in it's own right).
  6. Yeah, If the Isrealis have complete air superiority and control over Iran, any bombing they are doing at this point is to reduce ballistic missile strikes and destablize the Iranian regime. I'm sure Trump is promising relief in his gross ass zero sum way. To build on @BurntEyes comments: Since the Iranians are mere weeks away from enriching to weapons grade and maybe a few months from a deliverable warhead to Isreal, it's now existential to the Isrealis. If they have to use their own nukes preventively to protect Tel Aviv, they will, so it's unfortunately in our interest to finish what Isreal has started. I don't make the rules, but that's the reality.
  7. To me, now that you've started the war, you have to ensure that Iran's nuclear program is set back at least a decade, if not more. Which means at some point or another, Fedrow has to be destroyed. Or the Iranian's have to come back to the negotiating table and agree to give up their weapons grade material and ability to enrich. Which if the Isreali's can't do it, we will. It's a binary decision at this point, once committed you can't half ass it, you have to whole ass it.
  8. Add in Pink Houses and you’ve got the trifecta of songs about America that don’t mean what conservatives think they mean.
  9. Whelp, DC is still here. TBH, city was dead as fuck. I live on the Wharf/DC Waterfront and I’ve never seen it so quiet all weekend. Other than few off duty troops killing time at bars and restaurants on Friday evening, most of the places were cutting wait staff due to slow traffic. Last weekend was Pride and it was packed: Dance party on the Pier, day drinking started promptly at 10 AM, Wharf was pumping late night. Saw the choppers fly over and it’s always cool to see a Chinook, but they scrapped the jet and warbird flights due to weather.
  10. I love the energy here and I’ll make sure on Monday to come and try to bail y’all out before the rendition hearing to El Salvador.
  11. I mean, room rates on Bonvoy in DC are pretty good, so….yeah. They were much more expensive last week for Pride.
  12. I'm going to be hunkered down in my Condo, hoping the city doesn't explode into violence. They are going to have the Mall on a level of lock down I've not ever really seen. It would be hard to protest, tbh, given the road closures and security fencing going up.
  13. Do I think California has outrageously high taxes, a homeless problem, and generally dysfunctional government? Yes. If I had the coin to move to a nice MCM house or garden apartment in Los Feliz, would I do it? In a motherfucking heartbeat. You wouldn't even get the offer all the way out of your mouth before I'd be trying to sign paper.
  14. I am a manlet, so…kinda.
  15. Where's Douglas MacArthur when you need him.
  16. In our family, when we book tickets, accounting for weather while flying through the South in the late spring is basically on par with dealing with Ohare in January.
  17. I will not accept this Vigo the Carpathian slander!
  18. It's so wild. Most of my friends at Bates were Jewish and it's where I learned alot about the nuance of the faith vs. the ethnicity and the complex story that is Isreal. (there is a photo among my friends of me in the back of a Saab on a road trip to Boston, baked out of my mind, with my buddy Adam that was know as "Stoned Goy and Bubbie's dissappointing Third Grandson" I never imagined that my wife and I now are constantly reaching out to our friends letting them know we are here as allies and safe spaces.
  19. If you are travelling and trying to watch what you eat and find yourself with very limited options, The two cheeseburger meal is perfect to split between two people with an extra drink. Put some fries on that bad boy and enjoy.
  20. They still have value for projecting power in 2nd and 3rd world countries, but a full blown war in Taiwan would likely see several carrier groups having an HMS Prince of Wales moment.
  21. How does your kid feel about the State of New Jersey? Also, ironically, if you are talking about schools with a strong faith tradition, Tulane has a very large faith community of sorts.
  22. https://newrepublic.com/post/193930/ports-not-collecting-trump-tariffs-glitch Maybe it's improved.
  23. Lol Yeah, "implemented" and "collected" are two different words.
