Русский корабль - иди нахуй
Listened to a podcast recently about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Nothing has changed with the Red Army. They threw infantry into a meat grinder without pause, carpet bombed the country with artillery, killed hundreds of thousands of civilians without care, atrocities, soldiers fragging, etc. Same with Chechnya. It's in their DNA, they can never be allowed back in the global community without some catyclismic change within Russia. What was interesting is how the war ended. Gorbachev opened up the news to allow Soviets to read about what was actually happening. The mothers of those killed went apeshit vocally and the pressue internally became too much to continue. The number of those killed? 15,000 over 8 years. We are now at what, 10x that in Ukraine in 2? I understand Putin has locked down dissent, and he's the polar opposite of Gorbachev, but that kill rate cannot be sustainable for Russia without some serious internal blowback that affects this war continuing as is.

Why was it time? Ignore if personal just interested as I’m putting the Mach 1 up for sale shortly. I enjoyed the work to put it together. But having it sit and not used doesn’t seem right.

The Ontology of discussion of Deep Thoughts
Why is the dove the symbol of peace? It should be the pillow. It’s soft, has feathers, but without that sharp beak thing that can poke your eyes out.

Jimmy Carter [RIP 12-29-24]
You should. Buddy of mine became a citizen, auditorium got dusty. I’ll paraphrase what the judge overseeing ceremony said: My great grandparents came from Ireland with nothing. They worked hard to give my grandparents a better life. In turn they also worked hard to give my parents a better life. I then watched as my parents worked to provide me, an only child, the education needed to attend law school, the first in our family to attend college. I consider it an honor to stand here before you, as a United States judge, to welcome you as Americans. I’m confident you will also follow the same path as my great grandparents and work to ensure your children’s children may stand where I am today.

Lean toward your mother here. You seem like a good, sharp dude. You’ve been given great advice here, if you want to damn the torpedoes and move ahead, Godspeed. Keep that checkbook stocked. And most importantly, post pics.

The QB suck is the hand, the OL suck is the glove. They are inextricably intertwined. That pinky ring there in the shape of a turd is Tommy Rees. I’ve been reading TideFans as a game accompaniment. Welcome back to Earth motherfuckers.- 2023 Texas @ Alabama - 6pm on ESPN
That was fun. Mildly embarrassed this morning. We watched the game at some friends that are Alabama fans. I got pretty drunk and by the second half every time we scored I acted like I had two six shooters at the hip and fired at them like that Miami dude in the Cotton Bowl tunnel. Oh well at least I didn’t pass out and shart myself. Next time. What the fuck as it with all the balls bouncing off or through the hands? Had to be almost ten times.- Tucker Carlson Tonight
I liked to sneak into my older brother’s room to read his National Lampoons. One of the letters stumped me: Hey, my National Lampoon came in the mail, and it took an hour for the mailman to clean out his bag! Figured it out later.- 2023 Other Games Thread
Thanks for the updates keep ‘em coming.- 2023 Other Games Thread
As opposed to a typical night?- Burnt Ends 2022 Season Review and 2023 Season Preview
Hey something is fucked up. It restarts around 5 minutes in over and over. Desktop and mobile.- Nebraska vs. Minnesota - 7pm on Fox
That was very entertaining. And by entertaining I mean laughing at the knowledge NU would fuck this up while Rhule was shown sweating and licking his lips, unable to stop the inevitable. THANK YOU COLLEGE FOOTBALL- The college application/choice process
Just to put a cherry on the shit sundae that is private school tuiton, an anecdote: Wife's uncle taught at Loyola Baltimore. Had a conversation a few years back about tuition before he retired. I asked about the increasing cost of college tuition and he said, "It's real, we just increased tuition X percent." I said something naive along the lines of "Wow, costs must really be affecting the university." His response shocked me: "Not really. Our peer schools increased their tuition so we had to match so as not to seem less presitigous." He wasn't an adminstrator, so could be bullshit, but I suspect there's a level of truth there.- The college application/choice process
Yep. U Chicago really nice. She wasn't feeling it for the "whole college experience" social aspect, but they don't fuck around when it comes to job placement. UNC - didn't visit since only 20%? out of state allowed William Mary - I thought it was great, she thought everyone she met was weird. And they noted one of the social things to do was take a shuttle to an outlet mall. Nope. We all liked Wake alot BTW. And UVA.- Religions are....
Timely. I'm listening to a Conflicted podcast about just this. Mohammed really was a peaceful and pious guy ... other than those times he raided caravans for money. But putting that aside Islam really was a religion of peas until he died, then the shit hit the fan between is son-in-law (Shia) and his favorite wife (Sunni). All his pious and peaceful teachings were thrown out the window for pure base human desire for power and revenge, mostly from his wife. Hypocrites to the extreme. Oh shit, did I just start a fatwa?- The college application/choice process
Same boat as alot of you guys, daughter has the grades/scores/extras and wants to shoot for the stars with top private schools. Wife and I were kind of smug starting the college tours this year, patting each other on the back for starting a 529 when they were babies and saving enough for all 4 years HOLY FUCKING SHIT. OUR $200K PLUS ONLY PAYS FOR 2.5 YEARS? Thankfully her counselor has her applying to some state schools as back ups, but the leaders in the pack so far are Emory, Northwestern and Wash U - all absolutely gorgeous and all reaches. Trip to Boston area schools coming up next month. Needless to say we're scrambling to figure out the final 1.5 years. Fuck me.- Week 1 2023 - Rice @ Texas

Luther, Happy Valley, Broadchurch (season 1) Line of Duty is indeed best of the bunch, but my favorite is Luther.- RIP Bob Barker (Remember to spay or neuter your pets.)

No. He needs to do both or bring in help to take pressure off one or other. I’m optimistic. I think his play calling improves with his confidence in the team’s talent, experience.- Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty
Fani Willis seems like a prosecutor I’d not like to face. Since I’m not a RICO target GOOD- Shit's Borked
