  1. ….. you see……that whole “burden to his own side” thing…that’s not really how they roll in Russia. I don’t want to sound like a history nerd, but I have to point out that Florence Nightingale wasn’t on the Russian side during the Crimean war. To this day, Russian military medical aid Is more like stealing your share of the roasted Ukrainian pet dog while you bleed out a couple clicks to the front.
  2. i’m sure Anna Katerina appreciated your offer of free lodging and on-the-house massages.
  3. Man! Frank Zappa hasn’t aged at all!
  4. I need help with visual content for this tweet. All I know is the punchline: ” JD‘s wife is pretty fly for a white guy..”
  5. If he gets contacts and hits the gym, he can get back to his pre-hamburder indulging self….and Stacy will come around. Nothing gets a young woman wetter than reading aloud your favorite portions of Ayn Rand to her.
  6. Do you know what else is in play? Making people think to themselves, “I don’t want other people to think I’m weird…”
  7. What if we pack some washing machines with explosives - and then float them out to the black sea and wait for them to be stolen by the subs?
  8. “ missing a couple million workers is not a problem and we are getting by just fine…”
  9. I think the point is to get them to vote against it, not an expectation that it’s going to pass.
  10. The median 401(k) balance is $27,376, reflective of how most Americans save for retirement. In 2022, about 46% of households reported any savings in retirement accounts. Twenty-six percent had saved more than $100,000, and 9% had more than $500,000. These percentages were only somewhat higher for older people. Those ages 50 to 54 were the most likely to have a retirement account. About 63% in this age group had any savings, and 35% had saved more than $100,000.
  11. Stephen Miller and Laura Loomer gave Seymour an exclusive.
  12. And even though Twice’s explanation is technically correct, it will have as much traction with most people as our attempts to explain legal proceedings in the Trump thread. Best to avoid the discussion entirely.
  13. "No, it hasn't. Tesla can arise anew, from your dreams and wishes, Elon..”
  14. Now that they have them, I don’t think they wanna lose them to Russian man-pad type weapons. Preventing missile strikes on civilian centers - and perhaps more importantly, energy producing facilities as we lurch toward winter in four or five months - is perhaps more important than dropping bombs on Russian troops.
  15. Over the years, I’ve noticed that most repeat club champions go way past parallel.
  16. That is sad and all, but what type of smooth brain has that large family with a bun in the oven - and at least one kid for a decade - and not have a drop of life insurance?
  17. I don’t think I’m at the point where I believe it is a given Harris will win no matter who her VP pick is. Given that we are potentially talking about hundreds of thousands of votes in key battleground states deciding the election - I tend to feel that a less than perfect VP choice could have dramatic and disastrous electoral college consequences. The Harris campaign has all the demographics and numbers and stats, and hopefully the expertise to make that best VP pick. But whoever that VP is, I want him or her selected because of their ability to get Harris elected - and not because we assume she will be elected and want a stronger Senate chance. Every four year period a Democratic president with Veto Power is in office means we prevented the end of democracy in our country, insures Russia will not dictate which borderlands it occupies, and allows four more years of old Trump voters to die and four more years of newly registered young people to hopefully oppose the racist misogynist homophobic nativist tendencies of Maga.
  18. 70 million for both of them in 2022 prices. Imagine the cost of replacing the entirety of their almost destroyed tank supply of 50 years, a lot of the black sea fleet, and all of the other destroyed helicopters and fighters and bombers and armored infantry carrier vehicles (that were annihilated to the point they need to use golf carts)…,, Now imagine that the country having to replace this kit economically must do so despite 1 million of the smartest youngest workers fleeing the country, with international sanctions affecting supplies and preventing the import of technology needed to rebuild your military. Add to this that your country has an economy that is smaller than either Texas, California or New York - yet having to pay that bill before all of the republics in Russia who wish to break away but our prevented from doing so by the military, break away! I guess we can throw in the fact that most of the money earned has to go to Putin’s oligarch grifter friends - with just enough flowing down to the Russian mob to keep them off your back. Your average Russian citizen will be scavenging spoiled potatoes from dumpsters for several generations to pay for this shit - even if the war ended today.
  19. Who gives a fuck what the Senate composition is if it’s the end of democracy?
  20. My home rain gauge for this month says I’ve gotten 13 inches of rain so far with a week to go. So very different than last year
