You and I are in 100% agreement on this. We went in a fuckered around in Afghanistan and Iraq and Libya and Syria with no really clear, logical endgame, and now we’re well and truly stuck all the way cock and balls deep in it, and for what? Millions of murdered civilians and trillions in debt. Yay.

Hahaha Reddit is definitely a source for fact checking!

Part of the problem is we have no real strategy in Syria. We’re like a dog chasing our tail, if we catch it we have no idea what to do next. And really, that’s been our problem every time we’ve tried to nation build. We pick places that have little to no national identity, so it’s difficult to pick a guy for everyone…

I would simply love that.

As I understand it, this is a group that is fighting ISIS. The government doesn’t like that they’re making gains and capturing weapons (my guess is they’re worried about what happens if ISIS is defeated), so they’re trying to blunt their advance. Right now this group isn’t fighting the government, but the attacks may…

Any word on whether the Su-22 was putting US special forces in danger? It’d be a lot less surprising for us to shoot it down if it were endangering US troops directly as opposed to just US backed rebels.

That’s what’s really strange to me about this guy hoarding all these foul balls. I understand that catching something like Bonds’ record breaking homerun ball is potentially worth fighting for, but it looks like he just gets all these random balls and puts them in his bathtub or something.

That is a Doofwagon, iirc. In my perpetual dreamstate, Miller has teamed up with CAT and Peavey to mass produce it.

This was the right call. Fuck the Redskins with a sack of sharp dicks, but you don’t want the government to be in the business of deciding what trademarks are “offensive.” There are a lot of things we’re fine with today that were once deeply offensive to little old ladies clutching handbags. Codifying what your…

I have to agree here. Yeah, it may be offensive, but that’s on the holders of that offensive name, not on the government offices that allow for the registry of trademarks.

So riding the bus with them is helping them? I think riding the bus with these people and feeling holier than thou because of it makes you a misguided person.

Notice the new Lyft service got positive reviews from a writer living in SF, and snark from a writer in NYC. Gotta experience the Muni firsthand to understand the need for something like this.

You should expand your news sources, Moslems are being slaughtered (generally by other Moslems) on the regular and those bombings and shootings are always called terrorism..

Of course she could have - and then would have been told it wasn’t her story to tell. However, with that team behind her it would certainly be far less likely to happen. But it would have.

A “killer soundtrack” is also a great way to lose awareness.

This is the same guy who created a Tinder profile to get himself invited to a Veterans/Family only game so that he could get one of the special balls there. You know, just in case you needed another reason to hate/pity this huge dork.

Really, what’s wrong with that? I’d ride the bus more in my city if fighting teenagers, drug addicts and bums asking for money were less common. Wanting to not deal with those doesn’t make you a bad person.

I’m not sure there is any LITERAL whitewashing happening here (y’know—think Tom Sawyer’s fence).

Starred for “show room condition”.

No one with a lick of common sense says that.
