The USSR loudly intended to overthrow all the democratic govs of the West to install communism forever. They didn't want peace or for us all to be prosperous together. The commies wanted to rule over all. Why would we stay as allies?
The left has waaay to much tankie left in them.

Same thing with Monty Python. Got one good gag with a short set up: Do the gag then absurdly switch to some other gag. Boom.

Looks like a beautiful day for a game, a hot dog and a beer.

"Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible."
It's a classic fish out of water story of a plucky underdog trying to find his way in the big city.

The Brits were in no danger of losing a war to the Germans. They had an overwhelmingly powerful navy. They didn't want the nazis to control western europe. They could have stayed out of Poland and kept their empire very nicely if they wished.

Once it's all off keeping it bald is pretty easy.
It's amazing how hard shaving off half a head of hair. Was losing my hair years ago so made the choice to shave it off. Thought it would be easy. An hour later was barely done.

Social media is the closest thing to a Lovecraftian (or Chambersian, a la "The King in Yellow") infohazard that turns you into a gibbering lunatic inimical to all humanity that we know of.

Well that is creepy. Appropriate to the times, but creepy.

newsome is a smarmy prick opportunist. But a winning coalition needs loud grasping SPO's as posting soldiers.

If one side is like, man, we need a cleansing fire to purge this den of iniquity, and the other side is like, well, maybe a few technocratic fixes will make things less bad, I have bad news about which side is going to win.

America is a great country. It's an infinitely better country than it was in the good ol days. If you're not willing to defend it, you're going to lose it.
Yes, sure. America has problems. So does Canada! But if you can't make a positive case for real life America, the dark fantasies will prevail

The public is like this on every issue. Crime, transportation, healthcare- they support some fuzzy idea but then recoil at the steps necessary for it to happen.

He was cool as hell. Most of the veterans I've interacted with - even borderline-insane former infantry Marines - are just normal people who spent a few years in the service. It's impossible to overstate how much the SpecOps Industrial Complex has skewed our views of what the military is.

My dad spent a week in the cardiac ICU last January. One of his nurses was a Marine veteran in his early 30s: hipster mustache, tons of tattoos, extremely good at his job. He joined the Corps because he was smart and came from a place that didn't have a lot of opportunities, not to shoot Americans.

Yeah in Dublin it's hard to find locals who want to tell ALL about the history. Gotta have AI. Same thing in pubs, nobody wants to talk at all. 🙃🙃🙃

It gets to a controversial subject but Japan was killing Chinese by the 10's of thousands when the A bombs were dropped. The people now who say don't drop or wait or starve out the home islands are also condemning 100's of thousands of Chinese to death.

Yeah its racist and shallow. Up here in AK there is "Bush time" for how the mostly Alaska Native people in really rural areas treat time. Same deal in Hawaii "island time" or NA reservations" Rez time". But when a plane is coming in with supplies or to transpo people, everybody gets there on time.
