And every gimmick hungry yob
Digging gold from rock n roll
Grabs the mic to tell us
he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this
And it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns
Will later join the church

There is no long term plan clearly expressed at this point. Right now there are three outcomes that have been mooted by Trump and Co at different times:
-
Regime change/the people finally rise up: Iran's government falls. USA makes a deal with the new Iranian government (s) to get everything moving again. Goes to Trump's calls for unconditional surrender.
-
The United States gets bored and leaves, as Trump threatened yesterday. The gulf countries probably make a deal with Iran to pay tolls to get Hormuz open.
-
USA is able to brute force destroy Iran's ability to harm vessels in the strait, and traffic resumes. The air war may continue more or less indefinitely, with Iran slowly ground down but the islamists maintaining power over the rubble. Iran becomes increasingly irrelevant. Goes to Trump's plans for naval escorts and island threats.
I'm not sure which seems likely at this point.

Bragging about how cool I am...
By talking about playing WoW in the lamest way possible
I think I'm doing it wrong.
Weird that this is how I found out about Chuck.

My primary memory of Cesar Chavez is the "Ricky Martin Does Not Sell Out His Latin Heritage" bit from MadTV.

Only to level twelve, and I'm just loving it. I'm sure there are better single player games using the same mechanics, but I just like this one. Also, it runs on my macbook air, which a lot of games don't work properly without fucking with them.

In a fit of pique following an embarrassing back injury earlier this week, I downloaded WoW Classic.
I've realized that my taste in video games is the way extremely monogamous people describe their romantic feelings, I've only ever liked maybe three video games in my life. Pokemon, God of War I and II, and World of Warcraft. I don't know if it's that I have extremely specific taste, or if it's the time they came into my life (similar to sports teams), but even at times when I've thought "gee playing a video game would be nice right now" and I get a new video game, I don't play it for very long.
So now I've got a night elf hunter and Mrs. FiveHour is mocking me, correctly, for being a fucking dork. I recall hunter being the best and most adaptable class to solo PvE, which is all I'm interested in doing right now. I picked female, because I've always though the male alliance bodies looked kinda stupid for anything other than a warrior. I'm digging it, for the most part. A decade after losing my virginity and giving up on the game the first time I've forgotten enough that the game is reasonably interesting. I'll probably end up with a pile of alts, to do a couple different playstyles.
"Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face" is a good argument against overly elaborate plans or plans that don't take account of the enemy's vote. When it becomes a fully generalizable argument against asking for any plan whatsoever, then it's just a deepity.
