  1. Yup. Lots of football and people hung out partying, will be hung over tomorrow.
  2. They don't realize how fucking stupid they look. Speaking of being out of touch. EXCLUSIVE IVANKA TRUMP SPARKS ASPEN HOLIDAY OUTRAGE AS SHE ACTS LIKE FIRST LADY
  3. Manly men who…*checks notes*…use more makeup than my wife.
  4. I kept it muted half the time. And stayed out of this thread. It was too nerve-wracking. Kind of not surprised by the shitty announcers though. It’s not a playoff game.
  5. Every single day for the past few weeks, there’s been numerous posts by him that make it clear he is miserable, feels inadequate, and is just angry at the world. This is one of those.
  6. And the he turns around and says this
  7. The problem for your buddy is that he ignored years of Putin saying that Ukraine and Georgia belonged to Russia, that they were not separate countries. Putin was literally saying that historically Ukraine belonged to Russia and he was going to re-unite the two no matter what. It had absolutely nothing to do with NATO and everything to do with Putin's bullshit version of manifest destiny. Obviously, Russia did not realize they were cornering a honey badger in 2022, and many of us didn't realize it. But there was never going to be a positive economic outcome from the US or Europe after a full-scale takeover of Ukraine and all of its mineral assets in the Black Sea, and everybody knew that before February 2022, and in the run-up to the full invasion, a lot of people/nations were warning Russia was going to economically isolate themselves. Putin did it anyways. And now he's got a sunk-cost fallacy rattling around in his brain.
  8. It bears repeating, and this is the point I always make to anybody I know or meet that pushes NATO as being a problem for Russia - since the 1940s, NATO has never invaded anybody. It has acted as a peace-keeping force (it didn't have to, it could have ignored things and let them get worse), and it has responded once (once!) to an attack on a member nation, and that was America on 9/11. Russia/Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact? Russia/Soviet Union has literally invaded members of its own "defensive" alliance multiple times over its history. Boris Yeltson wrote NATO about Russia joining in the future. In '93, our Secretary of State James Baker talked about Russia joining NATO. 1994, Yeltsin talked about Russia joining NATO ahead of the Eastern European nations, but said Russia was not ready. In 2000 when Clinton visited Moscow, Putin publicly mentioned joining NATO, and again before his first inauguration. Putin even said in 2000: "Russia is part of the European culture. And I cannot imagine my own country in isolation from Europe and what we often call the civilized world." In 2000-2001 Putin said multiple times they should join NATO. One of the Russians biggest hang-ups, and this was mentioned as far back as 94 or 95, was standardization - Russia did not want to/could not afford to standardize on NATO standards because they were admittedly too big, and they wanted NATO membership, but they wanted accommodations for that. And it was understandable - you can't change directions for a military that size in terms of equipment. Things reached a point where Russia wanted more power than they deserved, and they were not the "great power" they claimed - they were a gas station with nukes and a lot of land. Putin and Russia are now paying the price for Russia fucking around with Georgia and Ukraine. Had they made truly positive efforts to joining NATO as a full member (they were in a partnership of sorts with NATO for decades) we would have the US, Europe, and Russia in an alliance that could have evolved into an economic alliance that counters China in the long run. Instead, China is going to eat Russia's lunch in the long run.
  9. The oldest girl is probably already been married off.
  10. Maybe some common sense, and Houston gets a capsule (they already have some) instead of wrecking the Discovery. GizmodoNASA’s New Chief Finds Loophole for Texas Shuttle Switcheroo“One way or another, we’re going to make sure Johnson Space Center gets its historic spacecraft right where it belongs.” Apparently it’s a national security issue on which spacecraft they selected.
  11. I'm tired of the AI generated commercials as well trying to make me feel guilty for being middle-aged and not doing Tai Chai.
  12. The interesting thing to me is that if he hadn't mentioned it publicly in an interview, we might not have known about it at all. I'm also guessing that it's about risking CIA assets and not US military personnel.
