    Israel-Hamas War

    It's not what people are saying, no, if that's an honest question. It's just being stated here that while the details of this single event are really sickening, this latest round of violence hasn't happened in a vacuum. And we're about to see equally sickening violence inflicted upon the...

    The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

    Yeah, I read what OneBrow wrote. And you know what? I took it at face value, because he's not insufferably dogmatic about everything, and is usually pretty well-reasoned in his approach. I give him way more props for being intellectually curious and humble enough to examine where he was wrong...

    The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

    No, no, no-- stop using data and rational thinking. It works like this: If there is a problem, and the current POTUS isn't a member of the party you identify with (because it's about identity now, not actual politics), then it's the POTUS' fault. Don't you understand how accountability works in...

    The Biden Administration and All Things Politics

    Here's an urn. And here's another one. And another, and another, and another. Why do I do it? Because that's what Democrats do. <urn> <urn> <urn> <urn> <urn> ...

    Conservatives and Republicans - What do you want?

    This article about his upcoming biography is actually a pretty good read: https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2023/11/mitt-romney-retiring-senate-trump-mcconnell/675306/ “A very large portion of my party,” he told me one day, “really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.” He’d realized...

    What is 1 HP of damage in real life?

    Thinking it'd be cool to go commando, and catching your little mister in your zipper. I've heard.

    Pretty 29-yr old happy without kids. Internet has opinions.

    I mean, I guess her voice and delivery and penchant for reality TV are kind of annoying, but that's all relative. If anybody wants to judge her as some kind of mindless hedonist based these 1.5 minutes of TikTok, that says more about them than it does her. To me, this sounds like a person who is...

    Rotten Tomatoes' critics score is paid for by PR firms

    We've all become completely incapable of saying, "I don't have an opinion on that". And then, before embracing one trend or another, to risk going and experiencing that thing, seeing what comes of it, and (gasp) having a nuanced opinion that doesn't align with the handful of ways we're evidently...

    The R.I.P. Thread

    Yeah, this one really sucks. RIP, Pee-Wee. Tell 'em Large Marge sent ya.

    Donald is about to go through some things...

    Ironic that you're being such a stickler for me to vet out all of my statements on a basketball fan forum before posting, and yet-- again-- "the alleged crime" is an educated guess at this point. No charges have been filed, but you're acting like it's a bonafide fact and using that as context...

    Donald is about to go through some things...

    I'm not saying you're wrong that this is politically motivated, and the timing is therefore arguably dubious, but you should maybe hold back on the 'you morons' stuff for a minute. "Is there a statute of limitations? There is, but the time limit was extended because of the COVID-19 pandemic...

    Cheating

    I'm a serial cheater, both emotionally and physically. It cost me one marriage, and nearly my second. Got myself into therapy and 12-step work for sex addiction, and have stuck with it all for over 3 years now. It saved my life, and I mean that literally. What I have lost is gone, but the...

    What show should I start watching now?

    I'm just starting Season 2. Not many shows have made me laugh as often/hard as Letterykenny.

    Trump's Coup Attempt

    https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/13/us/politics/trump-allies-election-overturn-congress-pence.html You really need to read the article to get the full scope, but here's the gist in a few exerpts: - "[A]s the president continues to refuse to concede, a small group of his most loyal backers in...

    Election Count Issues

    I'm gonna say it has something to do with God wanting to teach Dems a lesson by letting them see what happens if Biden is elected, but keeping his country safe by not allowing fraud attempts to succeed on the House and Senate levels. You've gotta get outside your own head to really make sense of...

    Election Count Issues

    First off, wrong. I conferred with @fishonjazz before posting, and that is exactly the number of i's required. Please do not underestimate me-- nor overestimate him-- again. Past that, this is just a bunch of cynical sadness I wish I hadn't read from you. Humanity is vibrant and good, and we...
