I’ve got the best Tiberium, the biggest and best, okay? My tiberium crystal is like... huuuge, the greatest. And my “build base” button is bigger, okay? We’re gonna have the biggest base. It’s going to be tremendous. And we’re going to make Krazy Kane and Stoopid Stalin pay for it. That’s how we win. We’re going to

I stumbled across A-Ha’s acoustic Take On Me. I like it more than I should.

Not sure about others, but the MA public school playgrounds I grew up on in the 80's were absolute cesspools of insults, mean jokes, bullying, and name calling. The only silver lining is that no one actually knew which kid was the real Polish retard faggot with the fat (and/or slutty) mom, because everyone was busy

This is where I think I am, also. It’s so hypocritical, but as soon as this dynasty ends, I’ll go full-time hate-fest on the NFL about CTE and all of their other stupid bullshit. If I even care about it at all.

Wow. I was attached to the 504th for a couple of years, got my sergeant stripes while there. Fort Lewis, 2000-2002. I had fond memories of that time and that unit.

“I don’t get it.”

Like a Chiefs coach with a 4th-quarter game clock, I kinda get it, but just sort of refuse to acknowledge it.

“Of all the poop flinging, this is, unequivocally, the swwweeetest poop of them all!”

The cop soaked up the slap to the back of the head fine, but the backhand to the face really got him.

But they, who were about to die, saluted u...

Okay, this guy’s a douche, and she climbed the moral high ground but couldn’t quite summit. Halfway through, one realizes she was into the sparring too. She could’ve hopped off that train way sooner.

if we’re picking sports to rally America around, I think rugby has a hell of a lot more going for it than soccer.

So, somewhere in there is a kernel of truth, completely diluted in unhelpful explanation. This is the kind of nonsense that is written by people who haven’t and don’t actually work in the corporate world, or don’t manage others.

The question becomes whether they care too much about their paychecks to be principled...

Seriously! Can’t a guy just be in it for the hype-rallies, the adulation, and people chanting your name without actually dealing with the 4-year contract afterwards?? Hard work and accountability are the trappings of losers who couldn’t negotiate a better deal!

kalq, the whole point is that it’s difficult to be grateful and reverent towards the flag of a nation in which your demographic is (still) suffering real or perceived injustice.

No, all of that resonates with me. I started in ‘97/98, so got a taste of peacetime before things went sideways. Some things are different, obviously. But all the traditions, the training, the leadership lessons, hardship deployments, the stories, the barracks urban myths, the stupid debates, are all carried forward

No, not really, just the relatively small circles I travel in online and with guys I keep in touch with. As with anything else, there are dividing lines that are somewhat blurry.

That’s a really nice thing to say, man. I appreciate it.
