  1. Yes. Along with Reddit, YouTube, etc.
  2. Going to kill off a lot of tourism, hurt the airlines, hurt all kinds of businesses.
  3. The fact that we are still guessing and debating it this late in the season is pretty good writing.
  4. So an African-American is pissed that African-Americans are voting?
  5. Probably. The center of gravity did seem a little off, and the arming mechanism was non-existent based on my recollections as a kid launching balsa wood airplanes with lit pop bottle rockets attached to the wings. And the result was fairly close to mine, only I yelled “fuck” in English.
  6. Go after the Catholics Ole Donnie Boy Pope Leo XIV: “I haven’t read the whole thing. I think, unfortunately, some parts of it that I have seen make a huge change in what was for many, many years a true alliance between Europe and the United States. The remarks that were made about Europe also in interviews recently, I think, are trying to break apart what I think needs to be a very important alliance today and in the future.“
  7. Now that we know that racism pays for even poor white trash, how long until we get somebody else dropping the n-word on video like that?
  8. https://www.threads.com/@allenanalysis/post/DSCymTDgjek BREAKING: A hot mic at Kristi Noem’s event caught TSA agents admitting they’re “terrified” of their own leadership and too exhausted to live normal lives.The administration is selling stability.Its own workforce is whispering collapse.
  9. No, those were invented to help the non-book reading audience deal with the fact that this series takes place over thousands of years. I think it's actually a pretty good addition, as the audience could not keep all of the emperors straight from the book.
  10. Lord of the Rings did a fantastic job but was constrained by time limits and Jackson has said as much many time (we won't talk about The Hobbit movies). There are deviations that were absolutely brilliant. When Frodo holds the ring in front of Aragorn and Aragorn closes his hand around Frodo's hand and tells him he would have went to Mordor, that was not directly in the book (Aragon never ran into Frodo after Boromir tried to take the ring if I recall) but it was an amazing line and scene that summed up Aragorn perfectly. Aragorn was not afraid of the ring but afraid of himself if he were to take possession of it. And my LOTR fanatical middle-schooler mentioned that the ring on Aragorn's hand was an ancient ring given by somebody to their friend (Aragorn's ancestor I'm assuming) to illustrate their loyalty and friendship, so you see that ring of loyalty and friendship closing over The Ring. Jackson was doing deep dives on symbolism. Jackson was the perfect person to take it from the pages to the screen (sorry Bakshi, I know you never got your full chance).
  11. @PTINS we haven't forgotten you. Ukraine seems to be able to take facilities offline for longer periods of time, or facilities are burning for longer periods, and/or Russia is running out of parts. Russia's Syzran oil refinery halted by December 5 drone attack, sources say | Reuters The Ukrainian SBU reports that the Temryuk LNG port in Russia, Krasnodar region, suffered substantial damage. The fire, which was caused by a drone strike on December 5, raged for around 3 days and destroyed 20 out of 30 fuel tanks. In addition, the drones destroyed railway tanks, an intermediate filling tank and a rainwater overflow station
  12. 80s Me if I knew Ukrainians would be using F-16s to kill Russians: Germany continues to build up, buying European-made weapons. I'd be willing to bet a lot more weapons purchases by NATO going forward will be European or Korean and not American.
  13. Yeah, could go either way, but at some point we will see shit starting to go down in Russia. Ukraine continues to hit their infrastructure, and they continue to be lacking in air defenses. They are going to need dudes with machine guns guarding a lot more places and/or ready to put down the people. And they are ready to go to Ukraine. He's already broken plenty of promises. He still seems to be trying to hold back from drafting tens of thousands out of Moscow and St. Petersburg directly.
  14. Nice...very nice, Red Dwarf is a bit of a deep cut/acquired taste over here in the States.
  15. Attended by kids whose parents and coaches who didn’t want their jock/cheerleader kids out partying and getting somebody pregnant or getting pregnant. They would have get-togethers at peoples houses and do prayer breakfasts on the weekends. But it did not deter stuff from happening, and a lot of the kids I knew that were in it were doing it simply to check off a box for college applications and scholarship money and yearbook entries. The really good jocks were spending their weekend mornings working out or practicing, not sitting around thanking Jesus over egg McMuffins.
  16. He may even speak to some of us.
  17. He pardoned the Silk Road guy so that the libertarians would vote him. This stuff is not complex. He got something from the Honduran ex-Pres and is just using rehashed talking points about Biden to cover it up.
  18. If we take out Maduro it could turn into what Iraq looked like after we took down their government and left a power vacuum for a while, just with cartels and various other groups. Iraq in 2025 is like on their 8th or 9th government since we took out Saddam, and for a long time they were bouncing back and forth between governments trying to reform the country and governments just trying to keep the lights on and water flowing. So you might be waiting a decade or more to go on that sabbatical.
  19. The problem for them is most high school kids are concerned with things that have nothing to do with politics and Christianity, in fact the opposite. Texas is trying like hell to ban social media for the 18 and under crowd, because they know how most kids will view the TPUSA incels.
