lippy

Nothing says disinterest like rolling through the thread to see if somebody's mentioned you. Bonus points for using the 'Woke' thread to throw out a random dig at female athletes though, classy as always.

And so the mystery of why I had that fucking Mr. Ed song stuck in my head this afternoon has finally been solved. Thanks ASSHOLES!

Okay there. I have no fucking idea what game you're playing, but congrats on the win: your trophy's in the mail.

Your anti-projection diet lasted an entirety of one sentence! You, sir, are to be applauded for your consistency with being inconsistent!

Not sure, I heard recently that nobody's really gotten to the bottom of 9/11

There you have it folks, case closed

Come on now buddy....you brought this game to the level of 'I know you are but what am I'...don't get pissy just because Dekker bested you with an 'I am rubber and you are glue'

Praise be

I listened to her report on this over the weekend. The takeaway seemed to be that several R's had come to the conclusion that the potential benefit of talking to 'hostile' reporters was far outweighed by the potential downside of having audio of them getting trapped in a 'gotcha' question (you know, like 'why do you want to strip away the rights of millions of women?')

To your and Phil's point, I wasn't trying to disparage any other currencies or say that USD are inherently better. I was painfully reminded of the strength of the CAD recently when was looking at tickets home to visit my mother in NS. I believe the point you were trying to make is that the USD isn't the be-all, end-all currency and that there are other currencies with equivalent values. I agree that that's how it should be, and is for most of the world, but I'd bet that for 90+% of Venezuelan store owners, a Canadian $20 note would be worth less to them than a $5 USD. It's fucked up, but it ranks pretty low on the list of things that are fucked up in that country.

With USD, anything is possible

I once spent a week in a hospital in Bonaire with a double pneumonia. I was working in Venezuela and needed to leave every 90 days for a fresh stamp on the visa. For a while my company would fly me to DWI for a weekend to exit the country, before they just started whoring me out to other districts in the region (which also gave me an opportunity to have a good interaction with the Colombian medical system). While the hospital in Bonaire left a lot to be desired and would have been stupidly expensive if not for my company's international insurance plan, I'm damn glad I didn't get that sick in Venezuela!

Yeah it was all Obama’s fault….had nothing to do with the most manipulatable among us being incessantly told that ‘they’re coming for your guns, better buy them while you can’

But then how will we refer to fries?

Well you've done nothing on here but demonstrate the complete respect you have for the LGBTQRST+/- community, so nobody would misconstrue your statements as being against them. Isn't the point of hormone blockers precisely to offer a reversible alternative to surgery (or other irreversible interventions) until an adolescent has had more time to make a decision?

Is he now quoting/replying to himself???? I guess at least he’s answering somebody’s questions

How many pheasants did teenage Brent take down with a semi-auto? *Growing up we had a birch tree just south of our house on the edge of our property that partridge just fucking loved. Used to be able to open the bathroom window, drop one with the .22 and be eating a few hours later.

Well it's an oversimplification at best, but I think we're well past the point of expecting deep, nuanced arguments from the far right...that said, you could interpret this as him making the case that the far right is comprised of a bunch of assholes whining that the progressives are asking not to be killed anymore ***. ***I say this as a former smoker/Adam Carolla fan.

Many people here smarter than I have spent a lot of time trying to correct your willful ignorance of the realities of climate change...I know you're a lost cause and I'm not going down that road. Do you think there's enough oil to keep humanity going at its current pace forever? Or do you just not care as you'll likely be gone before, as they say, the SHTF?

Actually a group of AR-15 owners is known as a 'gaggle', not a herd

What's definitely clear is that the easy stuff's already been gotten. If that wasn't the case, they would't be looking to drill through the ocean floor off of Africa. What's the point you're trying to make? We're not out of oil yet so there's nothing to worry about? Plenty of oil reserves in the stable, American bastion of Namibia so Teslas as still stupid? This strikes me as being along the lines of what I see every day in posts/talking points that create a false choice that you're either 'drill-baby-drill, fuck all renewables and those lefty cucks' or 'you hate everything that petroleum products have ever made and you want to steal food from the mouths of the children of oilfield workers and ban gasoline vehicles yesterday'. How deep down the Fox rabbit hole does somebody have to be before they simplify things that fucking much? Aside from a brief, 3 month stint in another industry before I got called back with an offer I couldn't refuse, I've been in oil and gas for the past 20 years and I may well be in for another 20. Oil is hugely important right now and that's not going to change tomorrow, but whether we're at peak oil now, in 10 years, 50 years or 10 years ago doesn't change the fact that it's a FINITE RESOURCE and we'd best not wait until we're almost out to start figuring out how to live without it, or at least with much less of it. Starting now (or decades ago as people have) with imperfect solutions is the only way to get to a point where we can transition to a live without oil that's not the doomsday scenario that the 'peak oil' scaremongers were predicting 20 years ago. Even if you're willfully ignorant of the effects of climate change, the above should be reason enough to at least concede that renewables aren't some lefty pipe dream...

How fucking rich is it that you're taking a minor diversion from your thread defending the actions of Rittenhouse to school somebody on being a member of society.

I guess if the goal is to stop abortions, letting OB's know that rednecks have the right to off them is one effective approach...Should we raffle off guesses on how long before somebody gets killed over this? Split the pot with Planned Parenthood?

I have to re-explain that to my wife on an almost weekly basis, but she still doesn't think they're funnier after.....

I think Joe knows better than to try to engage in a legit debate there...I was more noting his dig at Brett's long-standing inability to differentiate between 'lose' and 'loose'.
