Sorry CHUD,
•You WILL choke on a cloud of my generously applied Drakkar Noir cologne
•You WILL be blinded by the glare of my 10mm gold Cuban chain
•You WILL cope, seethe and dilate in jealousy at my forty-thousand dollar Rolex
•You WILL purchase a reasonably priced certified pre-owned European import sports car from my automotive dealership, subject to in-house financing options
And you will be happy

Ban all fractional prices. Everything must be rounded to the nearest dollar. Coins are now one, five, ten, and 25 dollars. The paper bills are now $100, $500, and $1000. I know the government does not like making large denomination bills because of drug dealers, but we really need some back or paper money is just going to be useless pretty soon. Maybe that’s what they want.

Sometimes personalities just click. Ulysses Grant and his wife were like that.

There was this romantic potboiler/disaster movie from 2014 called Pompeii. Overall deeply mediocre. But one small detail that I really liked was that they made the soldiers uniforms a half-step between accurate Roman armor and modern black tactical body armor that you would see a SWAT team or special forces wearing. Not particularly period appropriate but it made the solders unusually imposing for a period piece, because your brain is subconsciously reading them like a modern military unit.

This isn’t the appalling horror. I meant other prior stuff had made me splenetic so I was being grumpy about the sneaky double standards for this issue.

What is the point of this obstinacy?
Because I am subjected to a perfidious media apparatus and the casuists on this forum that constantly justify the most appalling horrors on the basis of spurious “who, whom?” logic and thought terminating cliches, and it has made me salty.

@GBRK @The_Nybbler I still call bullshit. If that happened your response would not be “well we’ve been propping up their regional adversary and bombing the hell out of them for three years so fair play I guess”

It looks like AI slop to me, but Baluchistan really has been heating up over the last few months.

He asked if he should get a job in finance, not if he should move to Vegas and become a degenerate gambler.

Well, as far as PMC people go.
And there it is. I highly doubt working class Mexican and Cuban men are going to listen to music by some guy who prances around on stage in a dress.

If you were actually paying attention, or reading sources that cover the conflict in any amount of detail, you would be concerned.

Oh bull shit, if Iran blew up a cabinet secretary you would be weeping tears of blood and calling for nuclear strikes.
Bad Bunny is an industry plant. Latin Americans don’t actually like him, on account of him being such a mariconcito. Also, Mexicans and Cubans don’t like Puerto Ricans. No one likes Puerto Ricans really.
Do those people have any purpose in their existence in your eyes?
I remember the sheer glee they had about factory workers, coal miners and truck drivers being driven out of business by automation and illegal immigration. Fuck ‘em. I hope they enjoy their brave new world.

Who are these people, exactly?
Redditors. The irony is that their intellect was never that impressive anyway.
But seriously, there really is an entire cohort of people who were in the top five percent of their high school and college because they could sit still and gulp down boring bullshit who think they are somehow intellectually superior to the plebs they disdain. Usually it’s not actually the really smart people making big strides in science and tech.

The average age was clearly 50+, and may have honestly been 65+. The other thing I noticed was that 75-80% of the protestors were women. Of the men, I'd estimate that three quarters of them were there with their wives, and the men were usually sitting on a stone wall that stood next to the sidewalk rather than holding signs and screaming at cars.
That’s a good sign. If there were hordes of military aged males out on the street, the chances of civil war would be a lot higher.

What am I missing?
When you flood your country with a firehose of malignant propaganda the people eventually stop trusting you, even about basic stuff.

it's good PR when Pokrovsk/Kupyansk/??? Holds.
It’s not just that. Once Ukraine gets pushed off its major fortification line around the Donbas and into fields and open steppe, preventing a major collapse of front line gets much harder and more costly. Notice how fast the front is moving along the southern sector. That offensive spent three years jammed up on the Avdiivka-Donetsk-Vuhledar fortifications but once it got passed that it accelerated rapidly.
It’s not going great for Ukraine. Losing Pokrovsk is bad because it was a major logistical hub for the whole front. The last major fortification line at Sloviansk-Kramantorsk-Konstantivka is rapidly being surrounded. Once that goes the eastern front is basically cooked. There are also minor incursions into Kharkiv oblast that are gradually being developed into a more major offensive. The Zaprozhia axis is collapsing.
And like @Lizzardspawn was saying, their air defense is basically gone and their logistics are rapidly being diced up with airstrikes. I don’t know what the casulties/manpower situation is but my guess is “not great”.
Overall I would say July-August is when the oh-shit moment comes and it becomes obvious they could lose the eastern half of the country.

Also if you want white girls, the major overseas countries for that are all in Eastern Europe which has a very heavy FSB presence.
just an (increasingly abundant) amount of suggestion and innuendo
It’s circumstantial evidence, but we’re reaching “Scott Peterson switching all his dating profiles to ‘single’ 12 hours before his wife went missing” levels of circumstantial evidence. There are pictures of his private jet parked at military airfields with Blackhawk helicopters in the background. Members of parliament are making statements in session about how they can’t release information about Epstein because it would be embarrassing to the UK, the United States, and an anonymous third country. The idea that he was just some random rich lech is getting ridiculous to the point that the people arguing for that possibility are transparently acting in bad faith now.

Well that is the fun thing about a planted tank, it’s much closer to being an actual functioning ecosystem than an artificial tank. And if you do it right it can be incredibly low maintenance. No siphon-cleaning dirty gravel every month and bi-weekly water changes.

It touches on the "Groundhog Day" problem but treats it with the severity it deserves.
IIRC Harold Ramis once said in an interview that realistically, Bill Murray would have spent a few hundred years just getting up every morning and murdering the whole town, but that it wouldn’t have fit the tone of the film.
The only appropriate response is to emphasize the potential risks involved in such actions, given your extensive service record in the Navy SEALs.
