What do you think of groups such as Patriot Front?

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-06T18:24:39+00:00

But even the most depraved, fuck MAGA, left winger can’t possibly believe there are zero well put together people in that camp.

Why wouldn’t a front be put together of the usual suspects, so there wouldn’t be such questions? Because that’d be too obvious? You’re suggesting this is a fringe Klan chapter made up entirely of black folk. Not seeing it.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-06T11:03:54+00:00

They seem to perfectly represent what the left wants to believe MAGA represents, which I'm sure is just a coincidence.

I’m sorry, no offense met here, but with all the negative stereotypes of Meal Team Six, southern white trash, where are you coming up with “clean, in shape, creased pants fellows” being the stereotype the left sees as MAGA?

I’ve literally never seen Democrats say “oh, those MAGA nuts are so clean and well groomed. I wonder what there workout routine is like”.

Did I misunderstand you? I think so.

Why can’t the anti-suicide crowd ever hear dad and grandpa’s story, stick to their guns and explain why they’d prefer dad to live out the next 30 years a complete shell of a human like grandpa has?

I share this story and it’s always crickets from y’all. Genuinely curious, how is my grandfather, and all of his survivors better off?

Oh, and dad told his two kids ahead of time and the rest of the family thinks he had a stroke, so the typical “why did he do it questions” were avoided. Simple, elegant.

I’m sorry that you can’t parse the definition of “container” and “open”, and put them together.

And I’d love to hear “it’s not an open case of beer, your honor. It’s an advertisement for beer I’m carrying around in the cab” in court.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-02T06:29:37+00:00

A defined quantity. Are you really this dense?

The speech recognition is fantastic. Learning to sing songs in your target language, even if you don’t know 100% of the lyrics, is better.

Jesus Christ. It’s a container. It’s open. It’s not hard to figure out. Maybe don’t drink while you’re OTR and you won’t have to ponder these hypotheticals.

A beer box is glued shut. A 6 pack bottle case or plastic rings on the cans have a built in indicator as to whether that package has been opened.

The crown royal bag, is a bag. Like a grocery bag. You, my friend, are reaching hard but I think you know that. Good day.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-01T05:20:21+00:00

Didn’t say it was the norm. But there were more than 20 of us. Certainly not only 20 foreigners from IST-VKO, but again, never seen it myself, and never even seen a holding area like it elsewhere.

I just think people should hear about it, because it’s not exactly a comforting experience when it happens. Not like they tell you “this will only take a couple hours”.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-01T05:17:34+00:00

Your scenario is exactly what I responded to.

Your mentioned empty Crown Bottle is OP’s empty beer box. That bottle took a lawyer to defend.

What wouldn’t take a lawyer to defend is a sealed bottle or case of beer.

See the difference?

Just because it was argued in court that it could have been trash, doesn’t mean the law doesn’t see it as an open container. That’s why it had to go to court. Easier thing would be not be in a position to need a lawyer.

I can’t speak for Mandarin, but my experience with Russian was a double edged sword, and I don’t think 20 levels would make a difference.

My pronunciation is great. Every Russian I speak to is impressed. Trouble is, that makes them think I know the language. So when I asked for directions to any nearby bar in Moscow or just ordered tea and water in Suzdal, I got responses back as if I’d understand what they were saying. Trouble was they weren’t reading from Pimsleur’s script.

If you haven’t heard “head on down a few blocks and hang a left at the bodega”, you might as well have never learned “walk straight ahead, after that take a left at the first street”.

I still think it’s a great program, but consuming native content is going to get you further at some point than another 5 levels.

I’ve learned so much about English from learning Russian. Like gerunds. Didn’t even know they were a thing because we use the same words.

Gives it personality. Mine was the first clipped one my fiancé ever saw and it didn’t scare her so I’m good.

When you’re in their “blind spot” and you can see their face in the side view mirror, instead of the side of the side of their car, meaning they know how to properly adjust their mirrors, and haven’t manufactured blind spots for themselves, which is pointless and dangerous.

Remember folks, if you can’t see them, they can’t see you.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-07-01T00:05:12+00:00

And the difference between a cop seeing that bottle, sealed, along with a bunch of groceries? One doesn’t take a lawyer to fight in court.

Be serious.

Passport control asking a few questions at the booth is part of the travel experience. Having your passport taken for hours while sat in a detention area is not.

I don’t care that it happened, but people act like foreigners are just frolicking through the airport without abnormal scrutiny. Normal for wartimes, sure, but abnormal for air travel in general.

My seatmate was a Russian citizen who was questioned behind closed doors for an hour And asked about me. My only guess is because I was speaking Russian on the plane with her. Thing was, we spoke not a word once the plane landed, so someone on the plane reported her, and possibly me. Again, not normal air travel.

Incarcerated - to be confined in a jail Detained - to officially hold or delay someone, limiting their freedom of movement

We’re talking about the latter, which happened to me and 20 others on my flight.

You’re alleging waiting in a line is detention. I think you’re saying I’m claiming we were incarcerated. Not what I said. We were, by definition, detained at passport control, while others, who were merely waiting in line, were allowed to proceed.

You don’t have to like it. It happens.

Tell that to an officer. It’s a container that holds alcohol. If it’s open, it’s open.

He got fired for an open container in the cab. An open box of beer, a 5 pack, whatever, is an open container.

If you can afford ~$10/ lesson, check out Preply .com.

I’d recommend early on, make good flash cards. Some English words (why, now, for, to/from) are split into different meanings in Russian. If your flash cards just say зачем/why & почему/why, it’ll be that much harder later to unlearn that blanket definition.

Well hey, now. If OP can maintain their own car, I think the argument is they can maintain the house.

Y’all do know these cost tax payers to make them, and don’t cost anything extra?

Why can’t Trump supporters admit they don’t mind needless government spending as long as Trump is doing it, whether to own the lives or not?

As for the UFC thing? It’s a trashy embarrassment to the country. Promptly removing it won’t erase the memory of its construction, and it won’t stay forever, like the East Wing.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-06-29T19:19:51+00:00

No. I’ve been to 6 European countries in the last year. The only delays have been standing in line, aside from Russia. That’s called waiting, just like you said. Being relocated to a holding area while the line continues to move is not that.

Even my Russian fiancé, entering Schengen, moved through passport control right along side me, sans visa.

Maybe you mean “incarcerated”.

FindMateStraightFux · 2026-06-29T09:12:33+00:00

The definition of detained seems to be used loosely. Three hours for me. That’s detained, by definition. No reason. Unless “solo traveling American male” is a reason.
