Arrest a bunch of random people with great fanfare in order to preserve the optics of his claim. Then quietly release them with no media attention because there’s obviously no evidence because it’s all clearly covering up for incompetence.

Here’s where that’s troubling…

It’s a very small step between releasing them and making them disappear so that they don’t talk to the media afterwards

That is a gorgeous guy. Love his coloring on his muzzle.

This is what happens when you have one side that sits back and plays some machiavellian chess, and another side that shits on a checker board and makes everyone roll around in it.

China is far from an honest actor, so don’t think I’m saying this as a compliment. But China knows when to shut up, sit back, and let the other guy fuck themselves over.

Thank you.

Dogs are what more people should aspire to be like. Non-judgemental, and just happy to be included.

The snoot print was a surprise from the company that handled the cremation. I knew they were taking a paw-print and I knew that I had ordered an upgraded urn that allowed me to post a photo in it. But I wasn’t expecting the nose-print.

When I pulled it out of the bag, I’ll be honest…it broke me all over again.

Serious question? Has there been any study into why the stats are higher there?

I’d be tempted to say it’s because giant trucks that cowboys tend to prefer have both a) lower pedestrian visibility, and b) higher mass, leading to greater damage in a collision with something soft and fleshy like a human.

However…I’m the first person to admit that correlation is not causation. Was just wondering if studies have been done.

Yeah. There’s no way that corrupted group of chucklefucks has just stopped. If Trump was as big a fish in the organization as the files imply, than even without Epstein it’s just swimming along all the same; probably under Trump Jr (which is why he largely disappeared from view)

The best ever.

That was the hardest part. if I caught it earlier I would have done anything to afford the amputation to keep her around with me. But it had already spread to her lungs. But she hid it from me.

Even on her very last day, hobbling around on three legs, she easily had the energy to standing jump into the back seat of the truck to go to the vet. Three hours and an xray later, I saying goodbye to my baby-girl.

Well, that’s just what the ass-crack bandit would say to throw us off their trail, isn’t it…

Everybody keeps asking me when I’ll get another dog and I keep telling them, I don’t want another dog. I just want Ripley back. Until that changes, no new dog for me.

90% of me doesn’t give a shit. But I admit there’s 10% of me that wonders if he inherited the “dumbest goddam student I ever had” gene.

Friends.

While Seinfeld is certainly overrated and hasn’t aged well, at least it had its memorable moments that still get talked about today (Mostly Kramer Hijinx, to be fair…)

• Kramer vs Kenny Rogers Roasters
• Kramer and the Rickshaw
• Soup Nazi
• 'They’re real…and they’re spectacilar"
• Mulva
• George saves the whale.

Just of the top of my head.

Friends, while popular, is ultimately forgettable generic sitcom crap. I struggle to think of any actual memorable moments other than “Pivot”

The study was published in “No Fucking Shit” Quarterly.

X-Com: The Bureau Declassified. Your “teammates” are fundamentally suicidal, making keeping them alive almost impossible. But the setting, story and challenge made up for it. It was inventive.

The Technomancer: Mid-budget game by Spiders. Was short and straightforward, which most people disliked, but I thought it was a blast. The story still sticks in my head screaming for me to write a novel based on it.

So powerful they couldn’t even handle fucking IRAN…

All they managed to do was prove that, much like Russia, they are completely unprepared for the type of asymmetric warfare taking place in the modern world. Numbers don’t mean shit anymore. They only lost 12 soldiers and STILL lost. it’s a new world. Has been for a long time. America still thinks troop numbers and money spent actually matter.

How about instead of being baffled you just go ASK the people who voted against it why? It’s not like it’s a secret ballot or anything…

The fact that they even say this like it’s a “good thing” is just another sign of how truly fucked up the U.S. has become.
