    He's a spark, an energizing presence, and our second fastest player. Bringing him in as fresh legs is dangerous for the opposition, and I like it.
  2. Oh yeah, their stronghold is the East. The culture that lived under the Russian yoke for 50 years, and longs for their authoritarian daddy.
  3. Fuck that. If you alleviate their suffering, you’re saving them from their mistakes and they’ll never change. Nothing - NOTHING - but the most horrific of consequences will change their minds. Lose everything. EVERYTHING. Know that greatest of human despair, and MAYBE they’ll realize and change. Cults are like every other addiction: there is no possibility of change until you hit rock bottom…and rock bottom for an addict is 10x more awful than any of us can imagine. Sucking sore-infested dick in a dumpster in the freezing rain, and then passing out in that dumpster because you don’t have a home, is the kind of shit it takes for an addict to break. We have to get there as a society as a whole. Root for pain. Unimaginable pain. Because that is our only hope.
  4. Our political leadership failed us. Including the Dems, who need to primary his ass and they know it…but they’re too timid to do it. The Repubs are no help, because their choices are always Paxton buttboys, so fuck that. The curse of one-party rule when your party has no spine is true regardless of party or jurisdiction. A blue county can be just as fucky as a red state.
  5. So, I’m not familiar enough with German parliamentary math. Can’t the CDU and the Greens and SPD build a coalition that doesn’t need AfD? We have friends there who are already texting a lot with us today, very nervous.

    The hesitancy is what kills us, and always has. They’re making a break, but it’s not set up PERFECTLY, so they hold up to let other attackers (and as a result, the entire opposing defense) set up. In pursuit of perfection on the attack, we repeatedly sacrifice ALL momentum. Fuck that shit. If you have ANY advantage…press the advantage. You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to be slightly better than the opposing defense. And FFS, 1-2 touches near the box. Send it on service, or shoot. MAYBE a quick pass. Futzing around with the ball for 10 touches to give defenders time to close all lanes is so stupid. Press all advantages, no matter how off balance you feel. 1-2 touches near the box, and don’t be afraid of shooting early.
  7. I won’t be satisfied until Rodney either eats a bullet in despair or sends one down range at a politician who aggrieved him. They voted for suffering. They will not understand how pointlessly stupid that was until they experience it themselves, 10x worse than they even imagined it. Lose their jobs, their homes, their health, their lives….then they’ll START to get it. But not until then. The suffering threshold to reach true FO realization is very, very high.
  8. The correct answer is “whichever one you’re bringing over.” My least favorite of those is still delicious.
  9. Yep…I’ve used the jarred roux a couple of times….and it’s legit. You have to be patient as it softens/renders, but once it does, you can proceed as normal.

    Stuff to like (actually created some chances), stuff not to like (still have a team habit of taking 6 touches when 2 will do, and fear/hesitancy to be aggressive with crosses and shots). All in all, happy to get three points, and really glad we wore our “montreal coats” (got em for visiting there). The light rain made it feel even colder.
  11. What, you mean the country whose Jim Crow laws were the model for Nazi laws, the country that segregated its military even in an existential war, and the country that sent a butt load of people to prison camps just because of their ethnicity? THAT country? Yeah….
  12. I was literally thinking “when can I smoke some chicken thighs or quarters for gumbo?” The last coupla days. Cover with Cajun seasoning, smoke. Let them cool, then pull the meat off, put it in the fridge. Take the skin (with all that good seasoning and smoke) and bones, cook them down to make your stock. Fridge. Then make your gumbo any time the next few days.
  13. Yeah, I forgot the herbs. Fresh thyme and some bay leaves are helpful. Cajun seasoning for your “add salt” needs, but I’ve usually used a good amount on my chicken and/or in my stock, so don’t need to add much. Masshole’s recipe is pretty good (I’ve never used anchovies in my gumbo, though).
  14. We don’t. We are a shit country full of shit people being shitty. In 70 years, we went from defeating the Nazis and trying then for war crimes to openly admiring and becoming them. Cruelty is our brand. Collectively, this nation deserves everything bad coming to it, and then some.
  15. This. Only one thing matters: WIN. If what the American people will vote for is a white man who sodomizes badgers and eats only Twinkies….find that guy and run him. Because we can run all the smart, principled, non-white males we want…and if they don’t win, they’re just as helpful as a random poster on Surly in saving what is left of this country.

    Hells yes. We’re pumped…but man, we need to print out a roster to keep up with all the new guys. Which is exciting.
  17. We have a pretty good thread on it around here. But don’t overthink it. Dark roux. Add trinity and garlic. Add REAL stock (seafood, chicken, turkey, etc.) Add your meat/seafood at appropriate times (shrimp cook fast, if adding chicken, a pro tip is to smoke it first, add sausage earlier so it flavors the dish more). Add okra if you want, file if you want. Add a little soy sauce or fish sauce to level up? Maybe save that trick for later. Add a can of tomatoes and green Chiles? If you want to, sure. Serve over rice. Add a scoop of potato salad if you’re feeling it. Top with some chopped green onion, a splash or 20 of your favorite Louisiana hot sauce (Crystal for me, a NOLA favorite). Eat, maybe with some crusty French bread. But know that it’s better the next day.
  18. That is 100% the play. That is how you negotiate with a bad-faith opposing party, always.
  19. Yep. Hope he’ll join us for our crawfish boil this spring.
  20. No, see….crippling Ukraine if it worn agree to hand over its wealth is the surest path to “peace” like Ana wants. Trust Ana. He loves peace. The fact that he manages to side with autocrats 100% of the time in furtherance of “peace” (defined as “rolling over and submitting to autocrat invaders”) is just a coincidence.
  21. “Hopefully Ukraine will unconditionally surrender its land and sovereignty to an autocratic invader.” FIFY. Peace is not the absence of conflict. Imagine Ana rooting this hard for “peace” in a nation that the US invaded as a naked land grab. Fantastic.
  22. Because he supports everything Elon does. Come on, this isn’t hard.
  23. So, some months ago, the boy camped out outside the new Popeyes in downtown Glasgow for their grand opening, because fuck it, why not. He was something like third in line, and was already wearing his Popeyes baseball jersey. The head of Popeyes UK loved him. So, he got a free bucket hat, free chicken sandwiches for a year, and these….which they had to custom make. And, in typical Popeyes fashion, they took FOREVER. As in, he’s not presently in the UK, so he had them sent to his sister in London. And they are….awesome.
  24. Whatever the case, standing and fighting is the best way to handle bullies. But go on the offensive as well. The State of Maine should open dozens of brutally expensive and harassing investigations and prosecutions of MAGA people. Government is fully weaponized now -- start fucking using the weapon with brutality and cruelty. Bullies only understand pain. So hurt them.
  25. It's like you've already read my curriculum on "Real 'Murican Music: From 'Proud to be and American' to putting a boot in someone's ass, it's the American way." But I caution you, the course on Muledick is a senior level seminar. Sure you're up to it? There's a drawing component...Thujone has already submitted some criteria.
