  1. Those poor scammers were once like you. You know, not getting any inheritance.
  2. He won’t need to steal it, he’ll win it. He’ll play a soccer match with himself the day after and declare himself the club champion again.
  3. The Social Security cola won’t come anywhere near to dealing with the increased prices next year. I think it will be more like low 3s to 4. Add tariff costs to inflation and everyone on Social Security and Social Security Disability will be fucked. And this is before the big beautiful Bill kicks them off Medicaid. The Medicare part B monthly premium is increasing almost 12% as well. Throw a shrimp on the barby and a mattress in the garage, because all your parents are moving in…. Grandma and grandpa will probably have to fight your kids for the best room.
  4. i’m still in awe that Brat fed his family by stampeding them off cliffs waving a buffalo robe while carrying a Clovis point spear.
  5. “Oh. Look Norway, those glide bombs are for your exclusive use, because only you have F-35A fighters. What? You mean Denmark and Poland have them too? And you belong to the Nordic Defense Cooperation with Denmark, Sweden Finland and Iceland? Well, for God’s sake don’t let the Poles borrow them or they’ll lose them in Russia somewhere…”
  6. “Here’s a bunch of glide bombs, Norway. We’re not sure which of your neighbors you might use them on, but here’s 800 of them.”
  7. On that note: https://share.google/6TkXlCQs5ABLOqD9D
  8. Not supplying gas to Asian ethnicity Eastern Russians is one thing. Moscow not having gasoline indicates a huge problem. Because if Moscow now isn’t getting gas, Siberia is sure as shit not getting any.
  9. Give me one ping Vasily. One ping only…
  10. I don’t think I’ve actually placed a phone call to my credit union for 20 years. See website and app for 99.999% of info.
  11. fify
  12. Not fences to stop cattle. Huge, tall, strong barriers…. And then, I dunno….we make Mexico pay for them?
  13. I think a better plan is to let all the shitheads in the Dakotas and Nebraska and Iowa lose their farms - and then after we drive all those people down into Kansas to whatever fate befalls them. We put up big game fences around those states, import buffalo from Yellowstone, and see how long it takes for the Buffalo to come back in sufficient numbers. I understand that how to keep the buffalo from interacting with abandoned meth labs could be a problem…
  14. That was me last week. “OMG! I just found two frozen quarts of Eggbeaters!! “Eggs are back on the menu boys!”
  15. Constantine says that they are closing many post offices in cities across Russia. In a city that would have five post offices, they now have one or two and the others have been shut down. he notes that post offices fall under the budget that would receive its funds from fuel sales. Since Russia is running out of money and still needs money to wage war, something has to give, and what is gives are services and access to infrastructure that help civilians. Because Russia does not care about peasants. One thing I did not know is that the old pensioners who are not techno types still go to the post office every month to collect their rubles. Russian post offices act like sort of a state bank to give people their pension money. He says because of the reduction of post offices, all of these old people have to stand in long lines at the remaining post offices - often subject to the weather as they stand outside, holding their quality built Russian walkers. He says that this is the type of thing that will actually piss people off. Vehicle owners are only allowed 2 liters of gas a week because of widespread gas shortages, and now some angry relative has to use some of that scarce gas driving granny to the post office across town. In the last day or so, Julia Davis in one of her Russia Media Monitor YouTube videos showed the pro-Putin Talking Heads fighting with their guests - one who pointed out that in 100 something days, the 3 day special military operation will have lasted longer than the Great Patriotic war against Germany. This exchange took place on widely watched Russian state TV. The host’s head exploded and he started arguing with him. The guest reminded the host that the host had claimed back in 2022 that Ukraine would be taken within a week. The host said “ we could have if we had wanted to.” That is a level of negative news and pushback that I have not seen before. Whether it is significant is anybody’s guess.
  16. Vlad being salty. The Nordics and Baltics getting itchy.
  17. Here , I rise to defend jumping on trampolines. When I was social service coordinator of my fraternity, I set a record in fundraising by coming up with a marathon trampoline jump (with the sorority I most wanted to see on the trampoline). There was a traffic light near our fraternity, and I got the Gainesville traffic engineer to make the red light longer, so the pledges could go up and down asking for money. I persuaded the university president and our then head football coach (Doug Dickey) to participate. it was always hard to get my fellow asshole fraternity brothers to participate in charity fundraisers, but everyone enthusiastically showed up to watch the Delta Gamma sisters jumping on our trampoline. That charity event was extremely well received.
  18. We should probably merge RD‘s “Goddammit, I just got scammed” thread with this one….
