Offside (General Discussion)

Kyle Campbell4 said:Don't bother trying to change anything about the gray hair. It's a simple reality: younger women dealing with daddy issues are naturally drawn to guys in their 40s and 50s who are rocking the salt-and-pepper look.

And honestly? I’m seeing more of them every day... I can back that up.

Now, look, I’ve always enjoyed being around women (and men, for that matter), but lately, it feels like being 40+ has become a massive trend—at least within these tech circles or among highly educated professionals from abroad.

But it’s not even about "daddy issues," as much as people love to claim. One woman told me straight up that she simply doesn't have the patience to raise some immature kid—she'd much rather be with someone mature, someone she can actually hold a conversation with and learn from.

Plus, they help out with the bills, which doesn't hurt either. 😁

That fish tank setup looks absolutely unappealing... seriously. 😁

I mean, if we aren't even handing stuff over to the younger kids every single night... 🥱

Well... everything's been settled—Larry Fox5 will know exactly what that means when the time comes.

Look, these girls are out here pulling in $60k or $80k a year—which, let’s be honest, isn't exactly breaking the bank, but enough to feel fancy—so they act like they're doing you a massive favor just by letting you buy them a single round of drinks. It’s funny, really—if you can call it that—how they carry themselves with this untouchable attitude, acting like they don't need a dime from anyone, all while being perfectly capable of handling their own business without some sugar daddy stepping in to bail them out. They want the independence, sure, but then they still expect you to pick up the tab for a cocktail... it's a strange way to play the game.

Honestly, you’d be surprised. Lately, there’s been a real influx of Latinas—lots of women from Venezuela and Brazil—and I see them everywhere, and they are incredibly easy to talk to. Even before that, there was a significant number of Eastern Europeans around, specifically from places like Ukraine and Russia.

I'm watching this documentary that kicks off by diving straight into the unrest that hit Los Angeles back in 1965. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots I was already familiar with those events, much like the disturbances in Detroit, but I decided to dig deeper to see what other major uprisings were on the record. I ended up stumbling upon this list: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_riots 🙏 It feels like there’s enough historical material here to research one significant event every single day. Anyway, getting back to the doc.

LOL, I actually thought I was the only one with this specific obsession. My personal favorite has to be the Zoot Suit Riots 😬

Highly recommend checking out the lists of civil unrest across the States 😬

You aren't alone here 😁

I see this whole Zoot situation as being similar to those summer riots, much like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long,_hot_summer_of_1967

I'm going to dig up a list of historical mob violence cases 🙏

Looking at the documentation now, it shows that prior to WWII, about 90% of African Americans lived in the South. Once the war hit, they started migrating all across the country to take up jobs in the industrial factories.

Oh, and I almost forgot—the list of massacres 😬

It changes the whole perspective—you know, it finally puts together a coherent, accurate picture of US History 🙂

And then you hear people claiming that America doesn't have any history. I run into those comments all the time, and honestly, they don't realize how wrong they are. Sure, the US might not be as old as some other nations, but people tend to overlook the sheer scale of this country. A single decade here—take the 1960s, for instance, with all the massive social revolutions—can be much more dense and impactful than decades elsewhere.

We truly have an incredibly rich and fascinating history.

What if we're actually looking at some covert intelligence operative? You know, the kind specifically trained in electronic warfare. It’s entirely possible. 🤔

That's just a fancy way of calling someone a troll🤣

I post here when I feel like it, thanks...🕺

There are American volunteers on the ground there. Especially those with personal ties to the region... family or spouses...

There are reports circulating regarding a figure of approximately 3,000 volunteers arriving from the United States. Furthermore, the internet is saturated with sponsored advertisements promoting the defense of Ukraine and recruitment efforts for their military forces. If the claim that there are actually as many as 16,000 volunteers is accurate, then we are looking at a force that cannot be ignored. This is particularly significant because a vast majority of these individuals possess prior military training and combat experience, often serving as veterans from previous American conflicts. Ultimately, the mere adventurers will quickly weed themselves out and retreat back toward Poland once they realize this is a genuine war where life is easily lost, rather than a game of Call of Duty.

He laid out every single detail—just like he always does.

I’m actually glad he spoke up and clarified this—because the idea that Ukraine could just "choose" neutrality in their current position is absolute nonsense. I am constantly hearing these moronic arguments suggesting they should have just opted for a neutral stance to avoid all this trouble—as if those aggressors would have just stayed home if they had. It's pure delusion. 🙂

He also touched upon the potential for an invasion routed through Belarus, a scenario that was being contemplated two or three years prior. 🙏

It seems abundantly clear that the inevitability of these events was understood well in advance, which explains why such an intense confrontation was prepared for. 😍

He’s out here showing off, mmm yeah... Look, if anyone can make it tonight, you know it’s gonna be a blast. We’re setting up over on Mountain View, just a bit further down from that building involved in that whole DOJ scandal... 🙂

"The transformer station is all set for today, and the Secretary of Defense is officially sketched out...
Honestly, picking the single best quote from Secretary Seve was a nightmare because you guys were being way too creative. For the main section of the wall, we’re going with the one about 'them,' mmm yeah, since it actually works with the photo of him clutching the mic—and let's be real, that line was easily the most brilliant spin on the original I've ever heard.
On the side of the wall, we’re gonna toss in all those other quotes you guys came up with, so none of your little nuggets of wisdom go unappreciated (though we gotta keep it clean and avoid anything straight-up offensive, otherwise the city crews will show up to repaint the damn thing and I swear I'll lose it)
We ended up switching things up last minute, though. It's not the transformer by the vet clinic anymore; we're across from the old local bakery factory on Mountain View Street. It's about 100 yards further than the first spot, but this station is bigger and closer to Seve Avenue, so it deserves a proper mural. Plus, there are four dive bars just 20 meters from the station, so if the cops decide to show up, we've got plenty of places to duck into.
See you guys tonight starting at 6:00 PM. The whole Night Mare crew is rolling up, so feel free to join in—let's throw the biggest Night Mare afterparty this city has ever seen...
We aren't heading home until the cops start knocking, so bring some photocopies just in case.

Man, the traffic at the intersection of Main and Broadway was absolutely brutal today 🕺

You live around here or what? If so, we probably crossed paths back in the day—I was living just across from 5th Avenue when I was about twelve.

What's going on? Why the hell is everyone being so quiet...

Duhaček finally put together a decent article—honestly, who would’ve thought that was actually possible?
