    Link, sinner?
  2. Umm... no, although I'm open to it. We have no shortage of places to see scantily clad young women, amen, thanks. But there are none of these near me.

    The Nomination Questioning Of Hegseth

    I didn't say I thought he was qualified. Since he wasn't a high-ranking officer, and hasn't run a large organization, I'm inclined to think there were more qualified candidates available. Then again, in the past few decades, we took a community organizer with one Senate term voting "present" and made him POTUS. Then we took a reality TV star, although at least he has run larger organizations, and made him POTUS. So it doesn't mean it can't work out. At these levels, people have teams of people who have teams of people to work out all of the details.

    Catholic Biden gives an award.

    I know that when I look for a model Catholic for spiritual guidance, I turn to Joe Biden. Thanks weepaws! Idiot

    The Nomination Questioning Of Hegseth

    Well, I used the data provided by CBS to question them. Do you deny the data in the tax returns they provided, and I quoted? Do you deny the math that averages revenue under Hegseth out to $2.65M per year, 10X the anomalous value they used? Wait, here's another oddity. The parts I quoted said that the $265K was for 2010 (2011 tax filing), but then they say Hegseth led the org from 2011-2016. So he wasn't in charge in 2010, when they only got $265K in revenue? I get it, the MSDNC is singing your leftist tune like they always do, and they are the MSM after all, the epitome of excellence in journalism, so to question them is misdisinformation$#@!

    Thanks, I'm more optimistic now.

    War in Israel

    I have a bad feeling that this deal is going to be not-so-great, and a lot worse than it would have been under Trump. This seems like yet another FU from lame duck Team Biden to Trump and the US in general. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

    The Nomination Questioning Of Hegseth

    Thanks again. The drinking and alleged womanizing are fodders for simps like @squistion and @thegeneral. The financial mismanagement is a bit of concern tho: I mean, $8.7M in revenue down to $265K, that's quite a drop! However, for grins, I clicked through the links to the actual tax returns. In 2008, where they got $8.7M in revenue, the prior year they got $1.3M. So I ask myself, self? Is the $8.7M an anomaly where they got one large, uncommon donation? Or is that the norm? It feels like CBS picked that year to make their biased point, but I don't know. Also, regarding the overspending: If you look at that same 2008 tax return where they got $8.7M in revenue, their expenses were $9M. Also, from the above, under Hegseth they brought in $15.9M in 6 years, which averages out to... $2.65M in revenue per year. So once again, I feel like CBS is cherry-picking years, one unusually high, and one unusually low, to make a biased point. I look forward to your response and/or those from our right-leaning centrists.

    I was talking more about the MSDNC with the dehumanizing labels. You are just the target for their message, I don't expect different from you. Thanks, I'll read it.

    The Nomination Questioning Of Hegseth

    Honestly, I haven't been following that closely. What has the MSDNC been telling you? I know he partied at a conference so @thegeneralhas fully embraced the "drunk" dehumanizing label. He seemed quite sober yesterday.

    So, government-built or -subsidized housing? Didn't LA put a ton of money into housing for homeless people? How did that work out?

    Well, he's no Mayor Pete, whose qualifications were (1) mayor of a failed city, (2) gay, and (3) liked choo choo trains as a kid.

    I know it's useless because you are a sinful retard, but do you have a link, retard? Also, I laugh that you lump Catholicism, the one true Christian faith established by Jesus Christ, with stuff like atheism, while you think that your surfer dood cult is the path to salvation. Amen thanks.

    Your Favorite Star Wars Movie

    It's hipster to like Empire, but IMO, much like The Two Towers in LOTR, it's more transitional than able to stand on its own. I get it that you like the cliffhangers, which is fine if you can see the final episode right away, but we had to wait 3 years. I'd probably pick New Hope over Jedi. I was a perfect age for the movies -- 10 when New Hope came out, and 16 and horny when Leia wore that gold bikini. https://www.google.com/search?q=princess+leia+gold+costume&sca_esv=3ec098e3b7112be9&sxsrf=ADLYWIJYGGJEeWZ-uzjEMwtdZjjj7JzZTw:1736882930025&source=hp&biw=1368&bih=743&ei=8bqGZ6DrPPzfkPIPoKuW-AI&iflsig=AL9hbdgAAAAAZ4bJAqFEUl5rU-uuwmMYCmMGqgyne2N3&oq=princess+leia+go&gs_lp=EgNpbWciEHByaW5jZXNzIGxlaWEgZ28qAggBMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABDIFEAAYgAQyBRAAGIAEMgUQABiABEiaNFAAWPsTcAB4AJABAJgBywGgAdANqgEFOS42LjG4AQHIAQD4AQGKAgtnd3Mtd2l6LWltZ5gCEKACng7CAgQQIxgnwgILEAAYgAQYsQMYgwHCAg4QABiABBixAxiDARiKBcICCBAAGIAEGLEDmAMAkgcGNC4xMS4xoAfkVA&sclient=img&udm=2 Looking up Rogue One, I don't think I've seen it.

    What wildlife do you encounter?

    Living near a desert mountain preserve, we regularly see coyotes, javelina (smelly boars), roadrunners, quail, and hawks. Less frequent are vultures and owls; we had a baby owl perched in a tree last spring. We have bobcats -- my wife has seen them, but I never have. We also have poisonous things like scorpions, rattlesnakes, and black widows (haven't seen black widows at this house). A few seasonal things I enjoy: - Every spring when the quail eggs hatch, I love seeing the dad, mom, and 8-10 teeny tiny quail walking (running for the babies) in a straight line. - We are in the migration path for monarch butterflies, and our yard had milkweed which is like heroin to them, so twice a year for a few months we get a bunch of them in our yard.

    LA Wildfires, 100K people evacuated and counting

    I've called out Horseman on multiple occasions for his comments, for personal attacks. One example is when he has attacked Boyo for his cancer. Horseman is a "win at all costs" type of arguer -- he will bring up anything no matter how inappropriate to win an argument. Once you view his comments through this lens, they are easier to understand at least. That being said, rooting for fires is not a personal attack, and seems like more of a shock value comment. Studies have shown that rent control actually increases the overall cost of housing, and decreases the quality of existing units. Among the reasons is that it discourages new builds which will be subject to such artificially low pricing, and disincentivizes investment in maintenance and improvements. As with most liberal ideas, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Then again, you are a capitalist, so you should already realize this.

    Was Frontier Airlines racist to Khabib?

    Here's the thing, tho. I had never flown Frontier before and it was... great! Convenient departure times both ways for nonstop flights, both times the plane was there plenty early, we boarded early, backed away from the gate early, arrived on time or early. Sure they nickel and dime you ($4 for a coffee?), but the entire roundtrip for BOTH of us including the charge for a carry-on bag was something like $432. Granted, we left on a Saturday, but that is hella cheap. Apparently Phoenix is something of a hub, as they had at least 5 gates dedicated to them, so I'll definitely consider them again for my future flights, particularly to Detroit where my wife's family lives. Oh, and to the later question of upgraded seats: they had 3 or 4 rows in the front where they blocked off the middle seat, sort of a poor-man's first class.

    Can't tell. I do see a majority white looking backs of heads, but I can't see them all

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    Yeah, we are lucky. League started 30+ years ago, same commissioner throughout. All friends or friends of friends for (rare) replacement owners, and we're pretty much (if not completely) all engineers, so not much drama. Occasional drama tho. Commish put down the hammer this year that there will be no exceptions to our rules (which are quite extensive, because we are engineers)

    I'm on a Frontier flight from Detroit to Phoenix as I type. 2/3 the passengers are middle eastern or other POC

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    Happened in my main league a few years back we made a rule that high scorer is guaranteed 6th place. We're also discussing adding victory points (?) Where you get a win if you are top 6 scoring every week, along with H2H.
