The South can always be burned to ground again. The South is barely able to maintain its own existence. If another pathetic rebellion like the one my ancestors participated in comes again I will happily gun down my own ilk, kith, and kin to maintain the tree of liberty. For it feeds on blood.
Id argue its a story of both pragmatism and intellect. Basically a dumb man will take out their own eye to blind their enemy, a pragmatic man will help himself and his enemy, and a smart man will figue out how to help himself and hurt his enemy.
Lot had a particular set of skills, being absolutely wasted in his sleep was one of them.
Fuck I was still ib highschool then, and I still on occasion become convinced that I need to be getting ready for school at random when waking up.
Dont do my boy Johnny dirty like that.
Are you trying to make a point or are you just showing how well that anti-wrinkle cream worked on your brain.
The only way to rid oneself from a king is to burry them in a random field and have them be discovered under a parking lot a couple centuries later
Oklahoma has the best 24 hour diners ive come across outside of Nevada which is fucking impressive.
Im not trying to argue, im making fun of Texas.
I think he used to use twitter at some point. But this is at least partially me recollecting an old meme.
Oklahoma has no illusions about what they are, Texas on the other hand thinks their the greatest thing since the discovery of fire.
So long as they are grid based and not using batteries I will agree. The incessant want to shove fucking batteries into everything is real stupid sometimes.
Crapshoot, wisdom is aquired via both length of experience and breadth of experience. There is no way to objectively measure either, though id probably trust the wisdom of a 15 year old who fucks up constantly over that of some 70 year old yuppie who hasnt done anything stupid since the 70s.
Ya know if I was as evil as him id openly embrace it. But this “stop saying mean thing about me” schtick is rather weak and pathetic. I hope his car has a critical engine malfunction and fires a piston through him.
Where the fuck do you live that everyone drives company cars? Where I live the closest ya get is company trucks with the water or electric company.
Dude im driving a 33 year old car as my daily. Sub 100 thousand miles and gets better mileage than quite a few modern cars, gotta love government fleet cars. Anyways take your classist shit and shove it, just cause you can and your ilk can buy a new car every other year doesn’t mean most people can, will, or want to.
The matter of NATO expanding into Ukraine is Russias fault, now its their problem. As I said the ball is in their court. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, actually this is kinda like a Greek Tragedy they feared what would happen and sowed the seeds to cause it to happen.
Regardless retreat is always an option, also theres fuck all stopping Ukraine from entering an alliance with the US seperate from NATO. Actually I say we do that, maybe Putin will have a stroke.
The Ruskies could pull out and enter them any day now. Theyve had what 2 years and they havent. Well with the exception of those jokes they made where they kept all of the Donbas.
The fact of the matter is the ball for peace is on the Ruskie side of the court. They could go home any day they damned well wanted to, put it down as the Russian federation version of the Vietnam war.
Both your proposal of inaction and my proposal of action will do that. At a certain point it becomes a matter of statistics, which has the best outcome. And as loathed to admit he had a point Stalin put it best “A single death is a tragedy a million is a statistic”
At least we’re trying to make reforms to our bureaucracy here in California, the problems mostly originate on the county and city levels. As for why the state is/was rather decentralized relatively speaking, well its cause we roughly the size of Great Britain (the island not the empire) and half the state is mountainous to some degree.
