2) Which means the coverage is less about aggressively promoting the niqqification of everything.
3) And there's less chimping by the athletes

Have you ever seen the noted documentary Cool Runnings?

I thought it was dogshit. Surprising to me that they even have a show about a big, strong, competent white protagonist, but it's too bland to care.

When I was in the bidness of supporting these guys (good lord, it’s been 11 years since I last deployed) they would hit a target, exploit what they had, and use that to roll onto the next one and the next one until they ran out of targets or the sun came up. It was a sight to behold. I would assume...

You’d like him alive, and if not that, you’d at least like all of his electronic devices not trashed. The intel is more important than the kill, once you’ve locked in. I can appreciate that, but when it's clear that they're not coming out without a fight, the propaganda value of a successful kill m...

In a situation where all the bad guys are inside an installation, I can understand that approach. But in classic siege warfare, you always have two concerns: break outs and reinforcements. If you have more hajis on the way, I have a hard time seeing how this type of patience would pay off. Honestly,...

Oh lolololol you may all apologize to me and grovel for forgiveness.

No worries. Last episode was tight but kinda proves my point: the best episode so far had nothing to do with Bobby or his celestial consort. Did you watch The Peacemaker yet?

It's not a bad time to buy imho.

FUCKIN SPOILER BRAH. But you're like the third person to do that to me so totes whatevz. For me The Peacemaker is where it's at right now.

I'm never sure if my post went through or not. I copy the text, post, then close the tab and login again. Sometimes my post is there, sometimes not. I haven't manged to delete a post. I don't think you can delete posts, at least I have never seen a way. All you can do is go back and edit them, remo...

Cultural hegemony at it's very finest.

Good find! It's written in stand alone chapters so you can just pick one to get a feel for the book as a whole. I enjoyed it.

Oh man that's awful. I remember Bud when he was first coming around. I hope he's with his boy now. May his memory be eternal.

You really do.

Precisely this. What are we talking about here Lenny?

By all means read The Importance of Living . It's a treasure. That was the one I ordered, and it's waiting at the library for a pick-up. Appreciate the endorsement! It's very good. Apparently English was a second language but his level of writing is really exquisite that it's hard to believe he was...

Nice find! Btw, ordered a Lin Yutang book after searching the name :) Appreciated the sub-link (from your Christie’s piece) to the original manuscript’s contents: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNGBuasYa_WETf7sF6Q9W3SN-X7oiB3jrh5QDMMNQPQl9xgS3cua--BhRr-BImP1w?key=QmE1WTR0Z0FtZVFIalpsYVZ3LXFXM...

The market was overdue for a correction, no cause to panic. That said, the chuckleheads running things in this country *and a few others* aren't helping the situation.
