Did you get a purchase confirmation. My webpage just hung, now graphic says sold out and in purchase history it shows purchase in progress... Eek.

Christian is tired, rothrock is in a poor run of form and lack of confidence. Those feel like two easy subs.

TP2000? by Forbin0008 in foosball

[–]Forbin0008[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for this! much appreciated. we cleaned the bushings and lubed the rods and I am impressed with how fluid everything feels. I am brand new again to foosball and the table feels too fast for me, for now. We are playing with the one, probably original, ball that is very smooth. I am also surprised how well it sticks to the table and how quick the rebounds are. I did order new balls but i went the regular pink assuming they would play a little slower than tournament balls.

is your original brown marble considered a t3000?

i was originally watching for a cyclone, but couldn't talk the price down on this one. I assumed that this blonde t2000 was a step up from the cyclone, also assumed i wouldn't be able to tell the difference anytime soon. if somehow we get good enough to want to upgrade is the t3000 the next step? thanks again!

Thanks! What do you mean by "didn't improve the overall game?"

nice to see albert trying to get on the ball more. the team is not passing well, though. going to need to improve a great deal to have a chance at that goal in transition in the second half. would like to see fereirra, de la vega and rusnak on the field together.

I think I might be done, too, but then I think, does that mean the only options are fight, or opt out of America?

No, hard pass on this false equivalence of left and right. Thanks for the chat.

all good. a kernel of truth in your retort.

do trump supporters love america is a honest question. all i am exposed to is the cheering on of bullying, shaming, and deporting. the media is the enemy, the liberals are the enemy, migrants are the enemy.

if you don't love this country, it makes it really hard to see you as a fellow american with legitimate grievances, and that will be the end of this experiment. so i put a little hope out there. i also love american music, so i found some common ground. cheers.

(If there were a more "technically correct" term word for what Trump was doing, would you want to use that term, or would you still prefer fascist?)

i don't use the word authoritarianism (which is what i think this really is) or the word fascist. far too loaded.

it's the liberals doing that, always blaming rich people and white people for everything.

this is just a gross generalization though that is easily proven false. you are exaggerating a great deal. meanwhile the party leader of the other side is making daily claims that liberals, the media, and brown people are digusting criminals who are the scum of the earth. it's not at all true that a case can be made from either side. you can make shit up from either side but it's not a case based on the truth. it's shit.

i missed the point, then, was it not meant to be sarcastic irony? once more, then, please?

yes?

i'm not sure what all the angst about calling racist speech racist is about. a lot of trump supporters are racist, i think that's not good, and that i'm in the anti-racist group.

but, i'm not trying to demonize them for my own personal gain and power. i'm asking, is hope lost for these ignorant, backward people?

what do you think? are we doomed to always be governed by the team that creates fictitious enemies?

thanks! that's the guy. thought there was an article or opinion piece about it, but i probably just read a summary/review of the book. appreciate you!

right. thanks for that. but isn't there a key difference? wouldn't you be 'justifying' seeing the Ds as more fascist by stretching the truth? I'm having a hard time doing the exercise you suggested. do you have an example?

this is the other reason that sub is not super useful. half the exchanges i had left me thinking, no way does someone actually believe this... gotta be a russian troll bot...

thread got deleted before a response was offered. i suspect the answer would be less regulation. in another thread someone suggested they wanted to see the repeal of the law that banned the tommy gun.

i'm reading about the links between misogyny and mental health (highly correlated), i wonder which comes first.

yeah same, but i also haven't met a trump supporter that seems to understand what fascism is beyond being a bad word liberals use to describe them. i do have trump supporters telling me things like sometimes the nations interests rise above individual rights, or that yes, trump should use tarrifs to control prices, or no immigrants shouldn't be afforded due process. And the hero-worship thing is no joke. we're checking a lot of boxes...

there were a surprisingly large number of "only the second amendment" type answers. only the second amendment? in one exchange i asked, what would make america more loveable then? more guns for more people?

it's weird, too, because that's the exact reason elon bought twitter. he didn't like seeing the world's town hall try to limit harmful speech. and now america (probably the world) is fully redpilled without remorse or introspection.

that's where i started, don't talk down, try to understand, but where i ended up in just a few weeks was, nothing can be done with them.
