    Yes, and surely @immamac can spare some wreath funds for the official Surly sticker:

    First I need to know a couple of details. Laden or Unladen? African or European?
  3. Serak The Preparer
    No you silly goose, you are supposed to present @DaggerHorns with all of this material. The burden of proof is on you!

    Well given the past behavior of Parliament to repeatedly start stupid threads in CR without responding in a single one of them, then complain about mean CR posters, I'm not going to hold my breath on that pondering.
  5. Serak The Preparer
    There is nothing CR about making fun of a Russian mouthpiece for saying Russia is winning this war.

    I wouldn't feel bad for the duh. See, you are not a crazy person who equates gender-affirming surgery (itself very rare) with genital mutilation, or having to wear a mask with being gassed in the Holocaust.
  7. Serak The Preparer
    I am sure she is referring to trans kids. One of the big tenets of conservatism right now is that big medicine / big psychology / whatever is lining up to perform gender-altering surgery on kids.

    Not sure if being whooshing but it's Lobo. He's said so. And also, it literally couldn't be anyone else.
  9. Serak The Preparer
    Reading the CR over last day, it is apparent that I missed the concept of Lobo as a poster a lot more than missing the actual poster.

    That looks like a recruiting evaluation. /Significant digit talk not going away.

    Was Saban's wife seen looking at houses in Lincoln or something?
  12. Serak The Preparer
    Fuck, he's said the same thing about the Astros for the last 7 years.

    I don't know if it's a child trans activist but she was swatted. There was then a call from the alleged swatter who said they targetted her because of her politics w/r/t trans youth. I do think that anyone who is caught for that should be charged with attempted murder. It's an incredibly shitty practice that is difficult to actually find the culprit. She fucking sucks but swatting also fucking sucks.

    Abbot is a giant pile of shit but I've known some real men who happen to be in a wheelchair and can't kneel / climb.

    Oh shit, watch your ass next time you get some coffee (linky). Starbucks To Begin Sinister 'Phase Two' Of Operation SEATTLE–After a decade of aggressive expansion throughout North America and abroad, Starbucks suddenly and unexpectedly closed its 2,870 worldwide locations Monday to prepare for what company insiders are calling “Phase Two” of the company’s long-range plan.

    So you don't have an opinion about the actual case in hand, which is bolstered by Trump repeatedly taking the 5th during depositions today, but you do have an opinion you want to share about something unrelated.

    While funny that I brain-farted and meant Rivera, this isn't quite having rain on your wedding day. Being wrong is one thing - half the posts on this board (at least), including mine, are wrong in all sorts of ways. But yes, I definitely named the wrong dude, and yes, you definitely ignored the correction as you always do.
  18. Serak The Preparer
    The thread in ABTB about @Helobious is really stupid but yesterday is a perfect example of why it was created. Helobius makes a clearly factually incorrect statement (re: Chapman being the first to use Enter Sandman) trying to correct someone, is shown using several sources that he is wrong, and then just ignores the correction. I am not sure he has ever posted "oh, I didn't realize that, thanks". For someone as wrong as he often is, this is the most tiresome bit.

    Thank you for the article referenced above. I haven't read it yet but will. I am not an expert on Russian affairs but do tend to believe that this is very little we could have done that would have changed Russia's action predating and leading to either the current or the 2014 invasions. But, let's say we could have and failed. Your quote from Freeman implies that there is a now an option in which Russia does not fight to the last Ukrainian. At this point we have two primary options: diplomatic means (which I would argue is the same as do nothing, given the lack of any result) or assist the Ukrainians. Maybe doing nothing results in fewer Ukrainians, I don't know, but if it results in fewer deaths it is only because they have conquered another people. I don't see how that is any less a failure of diplomacy.
  20. Serak The Preparer
    I do not think Chomsky is an idiot by any means but this is a great example of an idiotic statement, that "the U.S. must choose urgent diplomacy over military escalation". @MC Fresh Breath, can you think of even a faintly plausible diplomatic policy / action that results in Russia ceasing the invasion and killing Ukrainians? Or is the correct response to allow this to happen? I can actually understand a POV that says we shouldn't intervene and allow Russia to invade (I don't agree, but I understand), but how would that be "urgent diplomacy"? What does that even mean?
  21. Serak The Preparer
    This is unpossible. @Ag with kids and @Trey3216 were sure he would destroy Twitter. Guys, when does the destroying happen?
  22. Serak The Preparer
    Why do you have Crystal Ball on the list of positions?
  23. Serak The Preparer
    What about the fucking wine mixer?
  24. Serak The Preparer
    Yeah - even if you hadn't seen that before it's not a long list of pitchers who pitched to both Roger Maris and Barry Bonds. Sammy is not a single-season HR record holder since McGuire beat him in 98.
  25. Serak The Preparer
    Nope. An exercise left to the reader is to determine who the last three single-season HR record holders are.
