    Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent today. I look forward to Lent every year. I have tried to avoid what I considered to be the cliche thing to give up - sweets. Well, I’m giving up sweets this year and committing to improving my health with increased exercise and taking better stewardship of God’s loving creation of mortal body that I have been given. I am a very flawed person but the season of discipline, repentance, reflection and fasting puts things in perspective in how I can be a better Christian and not being as much of an asshole that I can be. What are y’all taking on or fasting from in Lent 2022.

     

    Oh gotdammit.

    now i can see God is working thru you to show me that Im just goin thru the motions and am actually not ‘sacrificing’ which is in the end just costing me being the version of the person i could be in His image.

    I seriously and in all honesty was going to give up pizza or some shit the kids would go for and think was a big deal.

    OK, God. Shit!! It probably didn’t help matters that i gave my little girl a lecture on ‘want’ a few days ago. I’ll try and sacrifice and find some service or something too. 

    Fuck!

    @Macklemore just had to post today in the Lent thread. Not tomorrow.

    The only country making that justification is the United States. To me you’re making an implied generalization. 
     

    Other countries either aren’t spending crazy money, or if they are, it’s not so they can reduce casualties on both sides. There’s also not a concern about wiping out whole cultures. China is trying to wipe out two that I know of for sure, as we type. Indoctrination camps. Setting up alternate religious figures. You name it. 

    Point taken, but when it comes to Russia, that’s something was was explicitly promised to the Russian people after the fall of the USSR. While I’m not trying to point to Russia subscribing to any noble philosophy, the fact remains: don’t lie to a Russian. 
    To me it’s just one more crack in the foundation which, honestly, I never would have expected to exist 2 weeks ago.

    Historically, Ruskie leaders give zero fucks about their soldier's lives. They are pawns in game of life.

    Very true but that was supposed to be left behind. The “New Russia” was supposed to be modern, efficient and equal to the west. That’s been part of the bullshit line that has been fed to Russians for a while and why Putins popularity has survived and flourish. There was an Emergence of a healthy middle class, healthcare was starting to reach lots of places and overall Russians seem to enjoy a fair bit of prosperity in the past 15 years.

     

    It seems that was just smoke and mirrors.

    Ok, speaking as just a person who’s lived in and around the military, I gotta say that sucks for those Russians. I mean, fuck Russia but those are just people trying to do their duty and to be left out to dry like that is just shitty. It’s like the country you’re prepared to give you’re life for doesn’t really give a shit about you. The attitude seems like “so that unit is all dead? Great! They’ve softened them up for the second unit! Charge!”

    part of the justification of spending crazy money on having a modern military is so that casualties on both sides can be (hypothetically) reduced so that even forceful transfer of power doesn’t necessarily have to wipe out entire cultures. 

    This is just a bitch losing at a game of Civilization

    seems like a great spring break spot:


    Yep.

    “Shit bro, the hotels are cheap and they totally have that post apocalyptic thing going on we could use for that ethereal crypto economy explainer TikTok clip idea we were talking about at Dugan and Mike’s new free trade organic coffee drying hut. 

    Plus, it totalitarianism so we only have to bribe one guy!”

    Statement from Roman Abramovich
    17 Min Ago

    I would like to address the speculation in media over the past few days in relation to my ownership of Chelsea FC. As I have stated before, I have always taken decisions with the Club’s best interest at heart. In the current situation, I have therefore taken the decision to sell the Club, as I believe this is in the best interest of the Club, the fans, the employees, as well as the Club’s sponsors and partners.

    The sale of the Club will not be fast-tracked but will follow due process. I will not be asking for any loans to be repaid. This has never been about business nor money for me, but about pure passion for the game and Club. Moreover, I have instructed my team to set up a charitable foundation where all net proceeds from the sale will be donated. The foundation will be for the benefit of all victims of the war in Ukraine. This includes providing critical funds towards the urgent and immediate needs of victims, as well as supporting the long-term work of recovery.

    Please know that this has been an incredibly difficult decision to make, and it pains me to part with the Club in this manner. However, I do believe this is in the best interest of the Club.

    I hope that I will be able to visit Stamford Bridge one last time to say goodbye to all of you in person. It has been a privilege of a lifetime to be part of Chelsea FC and I am proud of all our joint achievements. Chelsea Football Club and its supporters will always be in my heart.

    Thank you,

    Roman

    This slams the Russians and their government and oligarchs but it does nothing to save the people of Ukraine who need shit right now to happen or it’s DKR e. 


    Yeah, sure that’s right. But this just from the “Fuck Those Russian Oligarchs” Dept of the EU, the “Help Those Ukrainians” Dept. is just across the hall and doing work. They just need to take their time. 
     

    reminds of a joke: 

    An old bull and a young bull were together in the pasture and saw a group of cows down the way. The young bull says “hey, you think we should run down there and fuck a cow?

    The old bull says “No. I think we should walk down there and fuck all of them”
