Those Mexicans were just so incredibly "helpful" that they went and teamed up with the Mujahideen 😁

Iraq War

Americans just don't get the art of warfare...
Let those "terrorists" just blast them away!
They had it coming, honestly—just look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1fMf8CB7jE

Paralyzed by indecision
in Psychology ·
Man, that stuff used to absolutely wreck my chances with girls... just this toxic mix of being indecisive, feeling totally embarrassed, and being terrified... honestly, it was the worst combo ever. But I finally sorted my head out, kind of like how that guy Neil Strauss did in his book... I started just walking down the street and actually saying hi to gorgeous women. And man, let me tell you, it worked wonders!
Tarantino and Fake WWII..
in World ·
From last night's broadcast:
"Every single one of you owes me a hundred Nazi scalps"—that's how Lieutenant Aldo Raine kicks things off when he's rallying his crew, specifically this squad of American Jews tasked with stirring up total mayhem among the Swabians.
Later on, you see one guy who specializes in cracking Nazi skulls with a baseball bat, and honestly, everyone is just busting their ass to follow through on Aldo's command.
– I have no intention of making a WWII movie that actually looks like a WWII movie – Tarantino said way back when. – This is going to be a modern, gritty flick set during that era.
Is there anything weird about that? It just goes to show that Americans weren't exactly saints all the time... Taking revenge on captured Germans isn't some kind of distortion of historical facts, right? but
"All Germans are evil and need to be killed without mercy—that's basically the driving force for our heroes, this group of American Jews sent deep into occupied Europe."
this whole thing really rubs me the wrong way...

What Great Plains? More like a new Visigoth Kingdom!

How the Federal Government governs
in Economy ·
Thomas Martinez67 said:So, a state-run hospital is falling apart, and the facilities feel like they’re stuck somewhere in the mid-1800s, right in its central wing?
Well, there's an easy fix: just organize a charity drive.
You'll spend a little bit on advertising through major networks like ESPN, but hey, let's just call it a "strategic investment."
You can even dream up some social mixer, giving everyone a chance to have a little fun while they tackle such a "critical" issue.
Then, you simply sit back and wait for the calls to pour in from naive citizens who get swept up by photos that look like they were pulled straight out of a mid-century episode of Sherlock Holmes set in New York City. You'll take call after call, after call.
And those cheerful little executives will be sure to mention how much is being raised every single time.
The Federal Government will just keep smiling, because those donations are essentially subsidizing the repairs for a public hospital—the very same hospital that those unsuspecting taxpayers are already funding through massive portions of their gross pay, which most people don't even realize they're paying.
And it doesn't stop there; the extra revenue from those contributions will just pad your budget via the IRS.
The leftover cash gets split between AT&T, the hospital, and that restaurant owned by your buddy where you hosted the whole fundraiser.
In the end, this becomes your trademark, much like those rare instances of successful administrations that promote "charity inflation" whenever they need to dip into a budget that's already weighed down by the salaries of countless other government officials.
A perfect ten for our Federal Government.
All of that is a mess, but there's actually MUCH BIGGER stuff going on
I really feel like the biggest headache is that the idiots running the show think everything can be fixed with a checkbook, like if something breaks they just throw money at it, and since nothing actually changes, the money just vanishes... it's just bad reallocation...
1)example 1
Take a hospital in a place like San Diego; tons of departments are modernized and shiny and new, but things still go south... patients are dying because the staff is just negligent... In a country of 330 million people, we've got 4 of these machines, while New York City with its massive population only has 2—here you wait 6 months for one, but in New York you wait a week.. It's the exact same deal with the military...
Money doesn't fix this... you need a total purge, like a Stalinist sweep, kick out the lazy ones, and swap out all that useless bureaucracy for actual computers...

Can you even believe that back in the 70s, the Ministry of Colonies was STILL actually running things over in the Italian Republic?

Does anyone happen to know where I can find some decent Judo training around this part of the country? I'm looking for a good spot nearby, so if you have any leads, please let me know! Thanks so much!

Hey, what’s up everyone? Just popping in to say hi and see how things are going with you all tonight! Is it just me, or does everything feel a little more intense when the sun goes down and the rest of the world finally shuts up for a second? kaže:
I've been getting into recreational boxing for a few months now and honestly, I'm loving every second of it, but there's this one annoying thing that keeps popping up—has anyone else dealt with this? My calves and shins just start absolutely screaming at me during training, especially when we're grinding through jump rope drills or footwork exercises, like my muscles are just seizing up out of nowhere! Does anyone know what might be causing this or how I can actually make the pain stop?
Rebecca Smith4 said:If you’re dealing with muscle cramps, maybe try some magnesium—powdered tablets, specifically.
I know a few people who managed to clear up their cramping issues after a long hiatus just by using magnesium...
Look, there’s really no need to go running straight for the supplements or whatever chemical fix you're thinking about, because honestly, why not just let your body breathe and stretch out after every session? Maybe you just pushed it a little too hard this time, you know?
