It was fine I guess.
Not a very fine time overall though |

He was really attractive and in shape. He was out going and personable. And before you are thinking at least he's probably a dumb meat head and you can maintain some sense of intellectual superiority.. he was pretty smart. 1800 ranking in chess and he was doing something like cyber security for a pretty good living. |

I feel bad for Putin
|
One thing that's had me wondering...would the Western powers be better off with Putin in power or someone else? Part of me thinks if he remains in power, the sanctions will remain and their military will be handicapped for the rest of his tenure, limiting any ambitions of future adventures like this. If he is ousted, the short-term might be better, but the sanctions will probably lifted sooner too - if the new leader has the appearance of being Western-friendly but then turns out to be a snake with the same nationalist sympathies as Putin, we might end up in the same situation. I'm undecided.

The real answer is yeahi think i made a post or two in that thread.

At the end of the day though if ukraine went to nato that would potentially bankrupt Russia through the necessary increase in military spending to shore up that border. |

As you say, not only is Ukraine a key geopolitical bulwark against NATO from Russia's perspective (along with CSTO member Belarus), but it's also how much of Russian gas gets to Europe - and Russia is basically a petrostate. |
That would've been less true with nordstream i think but yeah... They have multiple reasons. The naval base in crimea was one of the main reasons they annexed that area in 2014, and technically any kinda territory dispute like that makes it so that Ukraine can't join nato until that is resolved. But in the meantime Ukraine was only going to get stronger, better armed and harder to invade the longer they waited.

That's very nice of you to say
I log on from time to time but i haven't been posting as much. No real reason just haven't had much to say. Today my tire blew out while i was on my way to the gas station on break. My supervisor came to help me since i said i didn't have a jack but i had a donut. My coworker was drinking a beer and i was smoking out of my bowl and we weren't even worried cause the supervisor is some 23 year old stoner. And we took like an hour and a half instead of a half hour cause of the tire. Now I'm about to hit em with i need to leave early after last break since i wanna get that new tire put on tonight. |
nice day here

it's true that jwb's your day posts are top tier

Guy walking around dressed as the Easter Bunny this evening. Don't think he was stoned either. Might try to upload the video later (yes I took video) if anyone's interested. The kids loved him. He was being led around by some girl as obviously he couldn't see with the giant rabbit head on! :laughing: Fair play to him though. Great for the kids.

No. More cute than terrifying. Better for the kids.

You've gone outside of your house???
|
Today i took my coworker home and he needed me to bring him to stop and get his gfs purse that she drunkenly forgot the night before at her mom's house. She was literally on the phone bitching him out while we were on the way. His bitch seems bipolar in an unbearable way.
When we got to her mom's house they gave him the purse and some wrapped slices of processed cheese lol. Then we went to stop at some hood corner store nearby.. He goes in to get some blacks and as soon as he is inside this real skinny crackhead looking dude comes out and immediately is like "man I'm out here in these streets can i get 25 cents 50 cents etc." I don't generally as a rule give alms to the homeless but sometimes i feel the spirit and look into my heart to give. I look in the tray and there's some coins. I pulled out 2 quarters and was like here is 50 cents. He looked at the tray and was like can i have the rest of the coins. It was a bunch of pennies bro and maybe 3 dimes. i looked at the tray and was like ****, but i agreed and painstakingly picked up each coin one by one. While i was doing this he noticed i had a bottle cap from a Gatorade bottle sitting on my passenger seat and he picked it up and was like "let me get rid of this for you" and threw it away. Like this was some kind of service. Then my friend came out of the store and talked to the dude a bit. I heard him say i love you bro etc as he was getting in the car and was guessing he knew the dude. Then as we were pulling off he told me it was his brother. |

I hit a bad pothole yesterday and got a flat, my friend came to help change the tyre to my spare and that was flat for some reason as well :)

You hit a pothole and they gave you a free apartment? Scotland rocks! :laughing:

Lol if only. That would definitely sort my finances out

In the world where you are surrounded by helpless preteen altar boys.

Tbf it would technically be more progressive of the church to let some of their lesbian nuns get in on the abuse instead of letting all the spoils go to their predominately rich white male priests

They probably do. You just don't snitch on a nun.

But I will provide them counsel.

Go, Steph! Hope you get the job. Make sure to tell them Jesus was just a dude, not the son of god. Oh, and that that god doesn't exist. :)
What will you be counselling them on? |
