  1. What Liam should have retorted: "As soon as you quit making like an actor with the performative theatrics, Gregory."
  2. In fairness, nuking a hurricane would be fucking cool. It wouldn't work, at least not without some horrific butterfly effect, but it would be fucking cool.
  3. He obviously didn’t need any!
  4. Someone came here to kick intardnet ass and eat fruit snacks, and they are all out of fruit snacks.
  5. Rest in peace, SI. I think we should all observe a moment of silence in its memory. The sounds of rhythmic fapping excepted.
  6. Wait a minute. Do you mean to tell me that Donald J Trump is an immoral and unethical asshat?
  7. My favorite trend of modern intardnet political debate: That's bullshit misinformation you found on the internet. You wanna know how I know? Because of this golden information I found on the internet.
  8. I came to post this, but you beat me, so I'm just gonna steal it for my new avatard.
  9. Rural Texas has its reasons to loathe their government that is often inept if not criminal. I get that. What I don't get is holding that position in your mind while driving around in a truck bedazzled with back-the-blue or thin-blue-line bumper stickers.
  10. Was the poster ripped to shreds? Or their opinions? Were there multiple posters saying "YOU SUCK AS A HUMAN; PLEASE GO DIE" or were there multiple posters saying, "YOUR UNINFORMED OPINIONS ARE HORSE SHIT AND HERE IS WHY"? Are both of those equally bad in your eyes? I'm legitimately curious. I read through the thread and agree that the back and forth turned silly and not at all interesting, but nothing registered to me as a personal attack. But maybe there was and I missed it? I am too lazy to go sift through the horse shit again to find out for sure.
  11. I know the Fullerton AVRI strats from the early-mid 80s are pretty valuable/collectable now. I think they go from $2K to $4k depending on condition and if its a 57 or 62 year reissue. I know a lot of people try to piggy back that with the later 80s AVRIs and like to claim "the neck was carved in the Fullerton plant before assembly in the Corona plant!" or some such. I played an 1984 '62 AVRI from the Fullerton factory at Austin Vintage Guitars and it was nice, but the 1993 '57 AVRI from the Corona plant they had played better to me and was $2000 cheaper. I'm guessing its roughly equivalent to a late 80s strat made at the same factory. Anyway, I bought it and it's a guitar I will own and cherish forever.* * "Forever" limited to ~2 weeks
  12. Yeah, series is probably not a great term, but people tend to classify MIJ Strats by that letter at the start of the serial number.
  13. His syphilis is no longer latent.

    Shouldn’t he be brought in as the head trainer?
  15. If you think Operation Wetback is good, wait until you hear the details about Operation Coon Hunter.
  16. Countdown to videos of duffuses blowing up their Dewalt power tools with Tannerite in 3... 2... 1...
  17. I agree that that is what is happening, but it doesn't matter. The Dems have to find a way to overcome that. If the government is gridlocked, bypass the fucking government. Get some of that George Soros crisis actor money and organize community investments and programs outside of the scope of the federal government and attach a big D to it. You can't just say, "Whelp, we would have if only..." I don't care what flaming bag of shit the Dems have to deal with, they were voted in to deal with it. If they can't deal with it, they aren't the right person for the job and the party needs new leadership that can.
  18. I mean, 43% of registered voters didn't vote in 2012. A significant number of these people didn't vote because they believe the system is rigged against them. Their vote won't matter. Trump turned them into Republican voters. This is why the "polls of likely voters" were so fucking off. A bunch of unlikely voters were suddenly motivated to vote. Without them, the GOP fades away as demographics change. He's talking to them again, and its why all of this legal jeopardy helps Trump. The last election was rigged. Your vote was stolen. They are trying to rig this one. They are trying to keep you from being able to vote for me, your champion, ever again. They are trying to hold you down, again. To put you back in your place in the bottom of the fucking American shit heap. This is the important thing to understand: He is taking the basket of deplorables' perceived victimization at the hands of the educated, successful and prosperous societal elite and attaching it to himself. He is saying that he is being victimized just like they are. Persecuted. Oppressed. Held back through no fault of his own. But, he's giving them a way to feel like they are doing something about that victimization. Get out and vote. Help me and you are helping yourself. You aren't deplorable. Your life has been made deplorable by "them". Vote for me, and you are doing something important against "them", and with "them" gone, your life will be what it should be. The truly sad thing is that all the energy and resources they put into their support of Trump is just completely wasted. Even (especially?) if Trump wins, their life does not improve. They will still be in the double wide struggling to make ends meet, falling further and further behind against inflation. I'm not saying their support should be redirected to Biden, either. Just fucking use that energy and those resources towards education, or training, or anything else not criminal and their life has a chance to improve more than it does with personality X moving into the White House. The easiest way to expose Trump as a fraud would be to give these people real help in the form of government policy and investments. Trump's self-portrayal as their benefactor can only stand up in a vacuum of empathy and beneficence from the rest of society.
