SOPIC: "It’s just that classic mentality we have over here—you know, how things always work. They’re gonna spend the whole bus ride getting hammered, completely oblivious to the fact that practice doesn't even start until 1 AM once we roll into Greenwich." REPORTER: "Wait, you're saying practice starts at 1 in the morning?! SOPIC:"Exactly. Because obviously, they’ll be too busy getting wasted on the bus to worry about anything else."
Hey, greetings everyone. Honestly, if someone starts calling you Bozo, there's a 90% chance you're headed straight for a career as a clown—but this guy actually managed to make it as a pro athlete instead.
Olivia Taylor2 said:It’s obvious Gorica has the edge here. The head-to-head is tied up right now based on goal difference. Currently, Gorica has scored 5 and Šibenik has 4. If Šibenik pulls one in, they're even, but since Gorica scored 5 while playing away and Šibenik "only" managed 3, I think they'd need at least two goals to actually take the tiebreaker. Total madness 🤣
Yeah. Sibenik probably isn't walking away with any points, but they really should have a Plan B ready... or at least just focus on putting some goals on the board.
Šibenik really needs to find a way to scrape together some points here—I mean, come on. They just pulled off that 3-0 win against Gorica, so they should be feeling some momentum, but more importantly, if we end up tied in the standings, the head-to-head results are what actually matter.
swiftdrifter8 said:I get that it’s hard for people to believe I’m not picking sides here, but look at the facts: the Russian military managed to seize four Ukrainian provinces in just six months. Meanwhile, the US spent over a decade playing games in Muslim countries, which mostly ended with them retreating empty-handed. Whether intentional or not, those are just my observations.
The moment Russia starts truly losing, China will make its move on Taiwan. History shows us that communists don't value human life at all; if they need to sacrifice 5 million Russians or Chinese citizens to keep the communist machine running, they'll do it without blinking.
Yawn... just another battleship troll. I really hope the moderators step in and clean this up soon. You see someone actively assaulting and abusing someone weaker, and your response is "I'm staying neutral"? ☕ Yeah, right.
brightheron64 said:Theoretically speaking, though, how on earth are you supposed to shove anything (through a tiny hole in a barrel) when you're dealing with internal pressures exceeding 1,400 PSI? 🤔
Just to give you some perspective, this example shows a situation where the internal pressure is only about 87 PSI. 😉
Hasn't someone else here already mentioned how the pressure totally tanked right before the explosion happened? I mean, maybe it's impossible, just like you're saying, but if you're talking about a confined space—like inside a pipe or something—that explosive force can be up to five times more devastating.
Thomas Nelson25 said:Playing a role and an underwater blast. Basically saying you need less explosives. It’s like 700kg—but looking at seismic readings Is that actually realistic..? They have formulas for these calculations
Location matters—it plays a role in where you set the charge. Theoretically, if you could punch a hole through a pipe and shove the explosive right inside, you’d need way less stuff to cause massive destruction. This was definitely handled by pros, and honestly, neither side is going to claim responsibility for this kind of work.
It’s pretty obvious the Russians blew those pipelines up. They were sending a massive signal to the rest of the world—basically saying, "If we can do this much damage to our own infrastructure, imagine what we're capable of doing to yours." 😉
casualmoose82 said:Nah. This is way bigger than just Ukraine. We're only seeing phase one. A massive shift is coming. A whole new world is right in front of us.
So, which one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse should I bet on? Asking for a friend...☕
Terry Green3 said:Only one small thing. We in Europe, North America, and Russia aren't the entire world. Those three sides would be completely wiped out.
But Africa, South America, and most of Asia would survive. The whole world doesn't revolve around us Westerners. The Fallout would be horrific, but groups of people in remote areas would make it through.
Maybe it's finally time, after WWI and WWII, for us to just finish the job and destroy ourselves once and for all, giving the rest of the world a chance to breathe outside the grip of the Indo-European warrior culture.
Not even kidding. But those guys—the ones actually responsible for this mess—they've already made sure they're taken care of.
Nancy Gomez26 said:Government officials protesting on orders from 'above.' You can see from an aerial view that this wasn't some spontaneous gathering; it was strictly orchestrated.
The real issue here is that it’s starting to look more and more like North Korea. Up until now, I always viewed Russia as a budding democracy—you know, still under construction—but now they’ve basically slid backward a hundred years. It’s honestly painful to watch how blindly these people follow orders.
When it comes to the whole nuclear situation, I really don't think we're looking at some random, sporadic exchange of fire. If—and I really mean IF—things actually kick off, everyone is going to try to absolutely cripple their opponent until they're completely neutralized. The real issue here is that the people calling the shots are probably sitting pretty in some deep, underground bunker somewhere, so the end of civilization doesn't even look like an ending to them. I mean, hasn't Putin already proven that he couldn't care less about human lives? Honestly, I’m just praying there's some quiet diplomacy happening behind the scenes to at least set some ground rules for a potential conflict, otherwise, we are all going to have some serious fucking problems very soon. I was reading this piece in an American newspaper the other day where they were basically just explaining how many of us are going to die, without even bothering to give citizens any actual instructions on how to potentially survive... 🙄 https://www.irishmirror.ie/news/iris...eland-28045994
Paul Anderson7 said:So, did they send a woman over there just to recruit them? 😵
It’s honestly pretty grim watching these videos of young men being loaded up and sent off to war. You end up with some becoming criminals, others becoming invalids, and then there are the ones coming home in bags to their mothers—and even those who make it back physically whole won't ever really be right in the head again. It feels even more tragic seeing people from small ethnic groups being drafted; it’s going to deal an irreparable blow to their future and their standing within Russia as they've known it. Watching this is just heavy; some of them don't even seem to realize where they're actually headed. It reminds me of scenes out of "The Deer Hunter."

Putin approved 👍
IMBEX
A Ukrainian diplomat is leaving Berlin. He caused a massive uproar, insulted Scholz, and infuriated Poland...
In an interview just a few days ago, he stated: "Bandera was a Ukrainian nationalist who briefly collaborated with the Wehrmacht during World War II, but he ended up in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp before being killed by the CIA. In parts of Ukraine, he is hailed as a national hero for fighting for independence from the Soviet Union."
He also claimed, "There is no evidence that Bandera's troops murdered hundreds of thousands of Jews." He went as far as calling Bandera a "freedom fighter," comparing him to Robin Hood. While Director Jung later cited leaflets where Bandera calls for the destruction of Russians, Canadians, Poles, and Jews, the Ukrainian ambassador doubled down, insisting Bandera wasn't a mass murderer, and shut down the conversation by saying, "I won't tell you right now that I'm distancing myself from that view. End of story."
It wasn't the Germans—the Ukrainians pulled it themselves.
Donna Harris11 said:Were you just this delusional for the last eight years while all the fighting was going down in Luhansk and Donetsk? Oh right, I forgot, those are just "Asian hordes" to you—second-class victims, so it doesn't really count, I guess.☕
I should probably point out, though, that for the people who love using that phrase about "Asian hordes" (which the pro-Ukrainian crowd seems to adore), the concept of an invasion from Asia actually started on Germany's eastern border.
If you ask me—and I’m just giving my two cents here—anyone who keeps stubbornly pushing these absolutely stinking Russian propaganda lies should get an automatic permaban. It’s honestly ridiculous. The vast majority of people caught in the crossfire from the bombings over these last eight years have been Ukrainians—well, unless those terrorists decide to play around and take down a passenger plane, then you've got international casualties too.
Kimberly Perez82 said:It really comes down to geography and the delicate balance of power, you see. It’s about proximity. You can't just have Russia setting up launch sites right on the doorstep of America—just like how Cuba isn't allowed to install Russian missile ramps, and we don't let Taiwan host American ones either. I mean, Taiwan could have been part of NATO ages ago, but obviously, that's a massive geopolitical headache that everyone understands is off the table.
But... wait... isn't that your whole principle right there?
I just don't buy into the idea that Person A gets to do things that Person B is forbidden from doing.
Or do your "principles" only apply when you're looking out for your pro-Russia buddies? I really hope the mods clear you out soon, but until then, welcome to my troll list.
Just because there are 300,000 NATO troops moving around doesn't mean we're actually heading into a hot war. Honestly, it feels like we're seeing a total rerun of Cold War tactics—just massive buildup and stockpiling to see who can blink first. It’s basically a game of chicken to see who can keep up the pace. Russia is going to have to respond to that, which means more troops piling up along the borders and maintaining the status quo. At the end of the day, whoever wins this standoff is the one who can actually afford the bill—someone who can keep feeding, arming, and maintaining those massive forces over the long haul. And we all know who that is. Unless Russia finds some secret benefactor—which, let's be real, I don't see happening—they might be able to hang on for a few years, tops.
