  1. How many spiritual advisors has this fuckhead had?

    Why the best leaders have experienced pain and suffering, learned from it, and grow. Then, when they are in positions of power, they can read reports about a crisis and make good decisions.

    This century, Im guessing Obama is the closest we’ve had to that type of leader. Im lumping Biden with Trump or Bush, though at least Biden and Bush had some semblance of a decent cabinet around him.
  2. Two episodes in. Boring. What a waste of Goggins and Coon. The humor seems to be mostly laugh at the dumb Southerners even though their cliches. It also feels as much Thailand travelogue as a TV show.

    Wait for it. Once Sam Rockwell appears, it picks up.

  3. Think she was in season 1 as well

    Sometimes it’s hard to separate the flaws of the Elle character with the actress. Elle fucking around with zombies and sulking is frustrating to watch because shes supposed to be a protagonist. But thats as scripted.
  4. that was a relatively uninteresting setup episode and whoever is writing ellie really wants me to want her to fucking die.

    I found myself empathizing with the lesbian and NPCs on patrol wanting to scout and report what they saw. And that’d be my last patrol with Elie and Dora the Explorer.

  5. Yeah, felt like a Walking Dead knockoff to me. We were just immediately into the town life and drama. I guess I preferred the first season's slog through the danger zone on their way to Jackson.
    And that group of zoomers at the beginning were not intimidating in any way, rough acting too. I haven't played any of the games, so maybe it gets better.

    Agreed. Part script as well. Joel and Elle seem like theyd chew them up and spit them out. Traveling the wilderness 1000 in the middle of winter to Wyoming also seems like a dumbass move.

    Doesnt seem like the town has much time left (no game knowledge)
  6. Israel has for some time now failed to present a theory of how they plan to win. They don’t have one and at this point they have gone well past the vigorous kinetic response October 7 warranted.  That and the continued dirtbag stuff in the West Bank reveal that Netanyahu is just reveling in having an eternal war he can fight.

    Thats a very good response. Want to cut and paste it until something changes.
  7. The Athletic is reporting that the Mavericks expect to lose 9 figures in revenue as a result of the Luka trade. Jesus. 
     
    Give me your best conspiracy theories. My favorite is the Adelsons are tanking the franchise so they can move to Las Vegas. 

    The NBA shouldve blocked that trade. that’s a catastrophe. Even an average fantasy football commissioner would have vetoed that based on shenanigans.

  8. SNL reached out and apologized. i didn't think they ever did that. Goggins loved it lol

    They punched down and it was out of touch with today’s sensitivities.

    That fluoride bit was funny as hell.

    Has Goggins hosted? He’d kill.

  9. Oh god this is so on brand for not only middle aged white women stereotypes but also this board. Kudos surly. We (practically) solved the pcl murder. Let’s head down to gm steakhouse while the boys in blue wrap up the final details.

  10. Oh, I am all ears. In October 7, Hamas, and nearby Gazan civilians, spirited away over 200 Israeli hostages. Please, enlighten me as to what Israel should have done. 

    Read your Art of War - https://cilj.co.uk/2020/08/30/sun-tzus-art-of-war-and-the-first-principles-of-international-humanitarian-law/#:~:text=Sun%20Tzu%20advocates%20that%20the,resort%20%5BIII%3A3%5D.


    Sun Tzu advocates that the highest realisation of warfare is attacking the enemy’s plans, next is to disrupt alliances, then to attack their army, and last is to attack cities, which must be pursued as a last resort [iII:3]. The prohibition on attacking cities is also apparent in the Art of War’s chapter on attack by stratagem. It needs to be noted here that Sun Tzu is not discussing mere military strategy, but the fundamental objectives of war. He thus emphasises that killing civilians is not the objective, [iI:19] and that the best policy is to take a State intact [iII:1], which is in consonance with the principle of distinction. The devastating humanitarian consequences of urban warfare and sieges in modern warfare show the contemporary relevance of Sun Tzu’s teachings.[/Quote]

    Israel has proven to be bloodthirsty. Its reaction to the terrorist attack was not measured and that their motives and actions are duplicitous. Their current government doesn’t seem to be accountable or humane.
  11. Why? There has been subsequent reporting on the story. IDF says that some of the dead were militants. There is a survivor that IDF released. 
     
    From the reading, it is clear- the IDF will absolutely fire on marked aid trucks in combat zones. Why? Because they have often carried militants. That’s the situation. 
     
    Were innocent aid workers killed here? Probably. Militants either disguised as aid workers or at least moon lighting as aid workers? Probably. 

    Theres a way to wage war against terrorists but this is not it. There are no sides to take here. Time to cut support for Israel until they act like a responsible government.

    Israel lobbies US governments and media to prevent opposition protest and speech amongst Americans. Laws have been passed. Reputations and discourse muddied. They are no longer allies. They are adversaries.

    A US policy should still be to neutralize Hamas and entities that support them.
