Exactly right, Joe.

They said they believe.

Only knowledge has sources; but beliefs sound cool.

I don’t know why I used a semicolon there, but it’s staying.

No, it’s definitely hacking because that makes me a hacker with my friends sports TV subscription 👨‍💻😎

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

Considering it’s Boeing and the same thing happened to the last one a few years ago… I mean, it’s not rocket science.

When people make me play Monopoly, I always take the housing shortage strategy for the guaranteed fast win. People hate me, but rules are rules, and I hate that game.

He’s probably earned enough to keep the farm afloat for another 12 months or so.

Call me pretentious, but I genuinely forget about Facebook and that lots of people still care about it.

I’d be surprised if it lasted longer than any other socially progressive trend. A few weeks, tops, with largest proportions falling off in the first week.

This is the reality of social momentum these days. Resistance is no threat because it has extremely brief lifespan before moving onto the next thing to be a part of.

Possibly. People that have allergic reactions to venomous stings can see it for multiple insects, though it’s not common. The only way to know is testing, by whacking a stick on the nests of different wasp species and taking note if any make you anaphylactic. If you’re all good, you can be more assured it’s just bees, but nothing’s 100% certain until you aggravate insects with a stick and test.

“Chad” is really making a come back. Or has it been so long now the younger gen is picking it up?

If it wasn’t, I wouldn’t be relaxing, I’d be doing shit that might have me enjoy relaxing later. Relaxing when not needing to relax is just making excuses for slothfulness lol

I dunno. Todd could be exaggerating…

Yep, Todd probably was entertained.

There is too much to cover here.

As I said earlier, you clearly have minimal alignment of the primary understandings most others have. For starters, it’s clear you don’t even understand the premise of NATO.

This is like me projecting opinions about cars when I think they’re made of wood and drawn by horses.

You’re either a troll or you’re peaking on the Dunning-Kruger graph based on some obscure and narrow-scoped details you may have garnered. It’s so small picture and fundamentally flawed or entirely untrue.

And that circles back to my original point.

Your mindset is based on the shallowness of an acute modern opinion that disregards history as much as it does immediate reality and humanism.

Or, to put it simply; you have as much growing up to do as you do learning the basics—at least to contribute in this forum.

You’re new to this. Your opinion matters, but isn’t valuable. It seems valuable to you now, but isn’t to others. That’s your first step forward to knowledge.

They may have had the potential to be a superpower, but it’s apparent that they never had the leadership to conduct as one. Those inside the Kremlin bought into their own bullshit and thought of themselves as a superpower, not realising the machine within is operating on unlubricated, old, broken, and missing parts.

This seems to be a common theme with countries that feed a superiority narrative to their people and other nations.

It’s not for a lack of trying, but they have prioritised other things. But the more it seems as a prize target, the more likely it’ll get dropped because damaging Putin’s domestic reputation is paramount.

I hear the Nintendo war drums…
