  1. Elon views himself and his online activities to be the best possible advertising. Until now, it's been free and highly effective. He's been able to manipulate markets and inflate his own investments at will. A good comparison of what's happening to Elon is what's happening to aggy. When relatively few people look closely at maladaptive behavior, it's easy to write it off as harmless eccentricity. Eventually though, narcissists can't help themselves. They push and push until they pass a threshold where everyone can see what they really are. Elon has lived his entire life in Fuckaroundtown, but he just moved to Findoutsville and hasn't grasped it yet. He'll always be a billionaire, but he will never again approach the level of adoration he's previously enjoyed. Hope he likes hanging with the mouthbreathers. Doubt they will buy many Teslas though.
  2. If only they had turned on him for attacking democracy, or trying to extort Ukraine, or his countless other high crimes and misdemeanors. They wouldn't be in this mess.
  3. Go Mancini. Cue the Pink Panther music.
  4. "Duece gets loose with just the smallest of cracks." Someone just got back from the buffet at Pancho's.
  5. That first part doesn't appear to be the case. The Ukrainian official said it's a huge problem for their military. The terminals were purchased by Ukraine, Space X is charging $2500/month for the connection. They were removed, because Ukraine can't pay that. https://edition.cnn.com/2022/11/04/politics/spacex-ukraine-elon-musk-starlink-internet-outage/index.html Regarding the second part, I agree. Musk is as full of shit as always. Plenty of others footing the bill and not every terminal in Ukraine needs the $2500/month plan.
  6. Cross posting from Ukraine thread.

    More or less, but Congress has to actually pass the law saying "fuck em" and formally take away what was previously promised. In this case, Congress took the land from the tribes, but left the tribes with jurisdiction over crimes committed by natives.
  8. Great read. This describes the demise of Hornfans very well. The blinking envelopes and open owner contempt for the user base alienated a huge section of the site and an even larger portion of the most active users. As soon as there was a viable alternative, a huge chunk of the best posters left and the site became a shell in a few months. Cycle repeated itself with shaggy and we're currently watching the same thing with Elon. If anyone can see this train wreck coming, it should be us.
  9. This is where the motivation difference is going to be huge. Every member of the UA army wants to be there and is fighting for something much bigger than themselves. The Russian troops are just trying to tread water until someone offs Putin.
  10. My props to your dad and his buddies. Camping for long stretches sucks, even when it's not cold, but winter is much worse. I've done field work during the winter and you never really get warm, regardless of gear. Even a fire only warms whatever side you have facing it. The other side is still cold, especially if it's windy. The toll on your body adds up quickly. Without proper googles/glasses, eyelashes freeze shut in the wind. Fingers and toes get cold and numb and stay that way, making them clumsy and stiff. Every ache and pain becomes magnified due to the cold. There are a lot of middle aged+ Russian troops in horrid physical condition. They are going to be feeling every one of those aches turned to 11. Every part of it is miserable, even with good gear, which none of the RU troops have. When General Winter starts fucking with their minds and bodies, Russians will be surrendering en masse just to get warm again.
  11. Old man with the wheels.
  12. All the weird mofos constantly stanning for him make him think we give a shit what his opinions are. All the professional trolls stanning for him make the rest of us think far more actual people care about him than really do. It's quite noticeable that the same professional liars are always pro-Russia, pro-Bitcoin and pro-Musk no matter what.
  13. They even more pathetic part is they they ripped Sandstorm off from their cross division rival. South Carolina had been playing it for 5 years before aggy stadiums began to sway.
  14. Another T-90 down. M777 shoot and scoot. Make sure to wait for the end to see what's painted on the front of the vehicle.
  15. That's not true. They got to celebrate a national championship AND Hitler invading Poland all in the same season. It's just every year since then that's been not so good for them.
  16. Especially with remote work. CO was safely blue before, but that margin got padded considerably. Same thing that is making Utah tight for Mike Lee. Lots of dems relocated to somewhere they could find cheaper housing and public lands to access during COVID.

    Should have held hearings and impeached Thomas as soon as Ginni Thomas' role in this started to surface.
  18. Yeah, thanks for wasting both of our time.
  19. Anyone got a stream?
  20. Fuck it, let's get that 7 back.
  21. Been wondering that. Looks like the receivers are losing the ball in the sun. We'll find out now, get to go the other for a quarter. Hope it effects the OSU wideouts like it seem to be effecting ours.
