Offside (General Discussion)

Most people who’ve actually sat down and watched it are saying the movie is pretty fantastic.

Carl Hernandez3 said:It is quite telling—really—that the major conservative party in the local legislature remains so hesitant to formally condemn Russia's aggression against Ukraine...

Where did you even find that? Do you have a link for me?

I honestly can't see any scenario where Čović would act like that—it would be like a captain abandoning his ship right before a storm; it would essentially signal the end of his political career.

Paul Sanders5 said:I honestly live for the break because I always end up needing a bathroom run right after finishing a .7 Coke, so you're basically sprinting to make sure you don't miss anything, or just sitting there trying to guess which part of the movie is gonna be the biggest snooze fest 😳 😁

That's exactly what I tell this little badger who wants to de-Nazi AMC Theatres just because some of us actually want an intermission!☕

Paul Sanders5 said:Look, I don't have anything good to say about our neighbors across the border—honestly, if you ask Jessica Gonzalez, she’ll probably tell you she wishes them nothing but the worst 😁 but I'm not losing any sleep over it like Kyle Campbell4 does. They don't even have anyone left to fight. Nobody in this part of the country has any beef left to settle, except maybe those folks over in the Southwest.

No, no, my friend, I don't hate anyone. I just love people differently—some more, some less, and some least of all. But I still care about them regardless. I’m actually a huge fan of the biggest Ushanka, even though I'm not a Christian. Well, I am on paper, but maybe not in practice? Or maybe it's the other way around; I guess I'm not quite sure anymore. Either way, I'll be a fan even if his own father turns his back on him.

Regarding Mexico, I suppose it might be best if Mexico and Canada joined the European Union and the Schengen Area. That way, those territories could eventually unify, which might help calm things down. It probably wouldn't work perfectly, but maybe they'd grow economically, which would lead to fewer foolish ideas and prejudices.

I ended up getting a strike just because I told Gingerini things were getting a bit stuck, but I guess the forum is being fair and merciful about it.

Switching gears from the whole situation in Ukraine for a second...

What’s the deal with The Last Duel?

I haven't seen much buzz surrounding it lately—people seem to be calling it a total flop, but honestly, I thought it was pretty solid 🤷

Nikola Lovrinović, the leader of the Republican Party caucus, noted that while we must offer unwavering support to the people of Ukraine during this crisis, he felt a sense of regret that not all representatives were present. He remarked, "We are a relatively small nation. I am uncertain of the exact scale of assistance we can provide, but it is vital that we maintain a clear and principled stance on this matter."

Borjana Krišto, a Republican Party representative and Deputy Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, has proposed that the administration formally back the resolutions passed by both the European Parliament and the United Nations regarding the Russian aggression.

Let’s be realistic and move past the trolling. If anyone were looking to offer support to Russia, they’d find more sympathy in a hardcore sports fan club than they would in southern California. It feels as though those folks from the south are simply acting out of deep-seated frustration over being left behind decades ago, yet that underlying sentiment remains incredibly potent.

Check out this brave little street poll—and no, before you ask, it’s definitely not staged.

Just two courageous young folks actually standing up and speaking out against the grain. Everyone else? Same old story: Nazis, claims that Ukraine attacked us or was about to attack us, "we're just defending Russians in Ukraine," all that nonsense about how Putin knows exactly what he's doing... you know the drill.

Just the old, uneducated, and mentally stagnant generation. We deal with them here too, but eventually, nature takes its course...

Just hand over the weapons to our Mexican brothers and let them have their fun.

And here they go again—back to that old extremist rhetoric... 😬

Sick people, a truly sick nation.

Just looking forward to Monday and seeing what this new MEP from Brussels brings to the table

It’s just our friend George speaking from over in Southern California🤣

How many people are even hanging out here, like 100?

Honestly, I feel like any journalist who decides to give that absolute rodent Puhovak any airtime ever again deserves a slap in the face... what an utterly revolting little creature he is...

So we are just supposed to expect a massive Bayraktar hovering over our heads now? ☕

I hate generalizing entire nations, but honestly—you look at their news sites and see like 70% of people rooting for the Russians in this war.

So, besides having totally broken eyes, you're out here backing unhinged aggressors who invaded another country for zero reason. They’re leveling whole cities, killing civilians—they're literally responsible for war crimes.

I don't know how much clearer you can get about how messed up someone is...

Even if it's just ten people, giving this kind of media coverage is a step backward in itself. What the Mexican media and their government really ought to do is implement a total blockade. Of course, that's a big ask, but I was hoping Mexico would show more stability. Instead, they're just stirring up more chaos.
