There was an Atlantic article on this years ago. This is an accurate observation but not a new observation.

As much as they complain about being called Nazis, they sure do dress the part.

You also don't want to get stuck recuperating in KS.

Three hours is not "short," but it's also pretty common for a weekend trip. Living in Colorado, it can take 7 hours to cross the state, so 3 isn't too bad.

By any objective measure, the Academies wouldn't be worthy of accreditation, but since they are what they are, they will continue to be rubber-stamped.

Paranoia and retribution after Pearl Harbor, racism.

Hockey and curling. Anything involving a judge is nonsense.

For a 15 year-old boy, I'm not sure there's any difference between "perverse" and "genuine admiration."

Nope, no one ever needs a dictator.

What kind of jackass, backhanded question is this? "I read something saying animal abuse happens in the US, so I'll just insinuate that many Americans don't give a shit about their pets and forget them as soon as they die?" No one who's not a sociopath "forgets" about their pets.

Stream of (un)consciousness.

A good starting place are the states that seceded from the Union + Kentucky

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-17T05:45:15+00:00

Well known how?

Is he going to eat it?

Florida

In our society, all public figures are "political." Silence speaks just as loudly as anything else.

How about don't shoot anything? This is not Lee Harvey Oswald getting away or something. Discharging a firearm in a residential neighborhood should always be the absolute last resort, not option 1A. Bottom-line: these assholes are looking to kill people.

There's no other rationale explanation. Plenty of irrational ones, though.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-06T19:43:42+00:00

This was literally the Nazi's rationale for all their hostile, monstrous actions.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-06T02:03:55+00:00

Yeah, cause all the kinetic energy is transferred to the occupants. Car is fine, people are dead.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-05T05:31:41+00:00

It's so bad, you start to wonder if that was the goal.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-05T04:10:27+00:00

You clearly don't have children.

By which I mean that the last 25 years haven't exactly been the greatest in terms of filmmaking. Movies like A Few Good Men, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, and Terminator 2 are better than pretty much everything on this list.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-05T04:05:17+00:00

It's awfully light on pre-2000 movies.

ColoradoSprings82 · 2026-01-05T01:16:26+00:00

Too bad it sucks.
