  1. Funny what it takes to get you to chime in.
  2. Don’t act like you haven’t jerked off to this shit for the last 20 years.
  3. May have to dust off the JDS one too.
  4. Are you having a seizure?
  5. Any up to date recs for local market. Texas Sausage Company has unfortunately shut doors. In particular need a bulk order, 50# or so. Any other option beside Hudson and Stuffed local to Austin area?
  6. How hard would it be for a regime element to strap some of that low grade nuclear fuel to one of their existing missile systems for a little dirty warhead attack. Shot that shit at Israel and let the iron dome do the dispersing. Or just take a slam dunk shot at contaminating the Strait of Hormuz?
  7. I am not sold in the nuclear risk talk from Israel or the US, but I tell you what, the funniest possible "this timeline" outcome would be Israel nuking Iran because Iran is poised to violate international expectations regarding nuclear non-proliferation.
  8. Nah, just hoping for the funniest possible "this timeline" outcome at this point. After Iranian leadership is decapitated we fly Reza Pahlavi in to set up an interim transition government.
  9. Also just strongly implied that assassinating Khamenei was on the table and that it would not lead to escalation, so we got that going for us.
  10. Reconsider appreciation of the sounds of nature, a simple fishing rod, and some fucking peace and quiet for once. And if that doesn't do it for you, the ear to ear grin on your kids face when they hook one and reel it in themselves.
  11. I see Gen Z male is checking in.
  12. 100% this. Spent the weekend fishing with my boys. Amazing what a fishing rod and a finger in the mouth of a bass can do to get them away from screens. It's good for them, but also good for dad. Sat with my cousin for a bit a caught up on things.
  13. The gauntlet our kids have to navigate today is extremely different than the one we had to run. It's hard for us parents, because we aren't particularly equipped for it either.
  14. You should pause there. The author is a McKinsey consultant. We have serious issues to deal with wrt our young boys in this culture and society, and equal if not potentially greater issues to deal with wrt our young girls. Careful who is setting the narrative and landscape of the solution finding.
  15. You might want to get outside the country a bit and assess before you write that prescription.
  16. Searching for an intermediary is a total rabbit hole. And holy fuck is the answer ends up being China. What is easy and clear is just turning off the spigot of endless arms and military funding to the region. Just stop dumping endless US taxpayer dollars and military equipment into the region. Israel first and foremost and right after them SA.
  17. Also more trolling than another poster got banned over today. @immamac
  18. He did a press conference where he said all he wanted to do was ask a question and then refused to take questions.
  19. Y'all just resort to silly ad hominem nonsense like this. @immamac banned another poster for far less trolling than this today. Hold your breath for any consistency in the moderation here.
  20. But after he acted a fool, was engaged by the security, and escalated the physical confrontation. It's really amazing watching the rorschach play out. The really funny part is that in his after action press conference he insists that he be allowed to make his statement and says he won't be taking any questions. He just blew up a press conference in progress with questions during the statement period, and refused questions during his statement. Come on y'all, just recognize teh absurdity of the situation. "All I wanted to do was ask a question. No questions please."
  21. The moral hazard of being an American. We all get the former, but never the latter. Some real perversions play out. Most of us can’t fathom what life in West Bank and Gaza, as just two examples, has looked like for average Palestinians for the last 40 years. Most of the posters here, myself included, would lose their minds if they were born into the OT. The examples are a litany, and cover basically every continent. But we call that the Pax Americana y’all.
  22. Israel officials denying. The pictures floating around online are clearly photoshop/ai fakes.
  23. Iran claiming they shot down a couple Israeli f35s. Nothing confirmed. Some reports suggest an American Israeli pilot captured.
  24. Are you asking me or Abraham Lincoln? There are extremely few situations imo that would ever warrant the US military being deployed domestically. And certainly not to remove elected officials from office. I also don't think that we should have a standing military in its current form either though.
