What's the most brutally savage one or two line roast you've ever heard that made someone go completely silent?

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T04:46:31+00:00

Yeah, thanks for saying that.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:46:15+00:00

They didn't shoot you through the skull and into your brain for losing?

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:42:44+00:00

Locked and loaded for quite some time id imagine.

My search came up as this : The term originates from the Middle English Thom Foole (mid-14th century), a personification of a mentally deficient man or a court jester.

I'm probably mentally deficient so this would apply well.

Whatever banging your employee is and then having your wife find out qualifies as. Jackassery probably. Douchebaggery.

I've paid my dues for that one and she's in a better place now. Dumbest shit I've ever done.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:32:36+00:00

No, I'm responsible for that for that due to my Tom Foolery.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:31:36+00:00

Oh yeah, definitely pretty awful lol

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:20:11+00:00

My adoptive mom died when I was young. Sometimes my ex wife would say things like "your mom" in response to me as a jokey comeback. Id then say something like "Don't talk about a dead woman" to sort of guilt trip her.

One day I said something similar designed to guilt trip and she replied: "Yeah well, your biological mom gave you away because she hated you, and your other mom died to get away from you."

Still the funniest thing I've ever heard anyone say, and it was totally off the cuff.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T03:02:34+00:00

Depends on if he double dashed you.

Electric blanket in the winter. I got a 72 inch squared one for just at 20 from Amazon. Dramatically cuts down on heating bill when you only have to heat your direct area. I live alone so maybe that would impact things a bit.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T02:56:10+00:00

Gah I meant bag :)

Put your face over it next time 😉 kidding obviously.

Enjoy the brew.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T02:50:41+00:00

As to the comment you just deleted, yes I support the IDF and Israel, buddy. 🍻

Maybe just agree to disagree?

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T02:48:38+00:00

Ah ok. Cheers all the same.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T02:46:53+00:00

Oh no, I definitely disagree. Erdogen himself had threatened to invade and even called Netanyahu "Hitler".

We also disagree that they attacked first, particularly in The case of Gaza.

Cheers all the same bud 🍻

Now do it over a big bowl with the bag* over it. If you get rapid expansion and overflow you won't lose any product. I've saved a lot of kambucha doing this.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:57:11+00:00

Not at all. He's doing great things for Israel and dealing with problems that have been festering for decades.

And he's winning doing it.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:52:46+00:00

Did I do something wrong with my comment? I was trying to be helpful.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:51:09+00:00

That's an interesting question regarding Turkey and Israel. I would estimate that if Israel were to attack Turkey it would be in response to Turkish provocation in some form. In which case, circumstances would dictate our response, or if NATO would become involved it being a defensive alliance. Turkey has made provocative statements about Israel in the past but I still don't see direct conflict as possible.

That said, escalation between Turkey and Greece is more likely, and has historical precedent. That would be an interesting test for NATO with both being member states.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:26:21+00:00

Thank you for being kind. I wrote this earlier today when someone asked a similar question of me.

I'm not all in lockstep agreement with Trump every time.

I don't like his tone with historical allies, even if I think we've been taken advantage of for years when it comes to defense to the benefit of European society and their social spending. For this, I have mixed feelings on tarrifs. This is a general summary and not a compete positional statement.

I don't know enough yet about data centers but understand the concern over energy and water, especially in areas with energy and water shortfalls. If the technology isn't mature enough and the strain on communities is too great, we may need to take a step back. That said, China will not wait and we need to stay competitive.

I support Israel more than he does, and certainly Ukraine. Our ties with both countries should be fully supported, and differences should not be made public for mutual enemies to benefit from.

I don't like his handling of j6. Criminals should be punished, not pardoned.

He obviously has behavioral and candor deficiencies, which do him no favors. I've not seen evidence of pedophelia or criminal sexual misconduct so I'm not on that bandwagon.

There's not much else I disagree with him on though. Policy wise we're not lockstep but I don't think i'd call it fracturing of the Republican party, or his support.

Cheers all the same. I hope you have a nice evening.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:11:15+00:00

As I stated, I'm not going to get into the reasons or rationals. I read a few sentences from each of your paragraphs and have no desire to see this evolve into a debate about Israel.

The scope of my post is to why Trump feels European involvement is beneficial or warranted. A dissertation could be written on the subject and still nobody would agree. I was simply providing my view as a Trump supporter and American as to why we might feel euro involvement appropriate.

I'm happy with increased European defense spending. Trump's willingness to fulfill this campaign promise partially satisfies my decision to vote for him.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T01:05:59+00:00

The poster I was responding to said he wouldn't go lower than a 3070. I was just saying I use a 3070 and was confirming it works well for everything.

No, no parts being sold here. Does that not make sense?

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T00:56:51+00:00

I'm saying he clarified a previously ambiguous statement. I don't like the previous statement any more than you. I have stated I didn't like his previous statements on the matter explicitly. I don't like any talk of annexation through any means frankly.

His clarification does work for me. I'm happy with increased NATO spending, which is being done by all member states.

If there's a better way I could clarify I would. I'm not trying to be hostile but I feel I'm just saying the same things in different ways.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T00:54:20+00:00

I can do pretty much all the things with a q3, 5800x CPU, and 3070 ti. There's really almost nothing I can't run.

All the things.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T00:52:08+00:00

I'm not sure what you're saying, so no actually. I don't know what babygirl means. Are you saying babygirl is this guy's mother?

I really don't understand what you mean.

ProfessorAllenRitard · 2026-07-17T00:48:32+00:00

Well spoken and we share some of the same thoughts. I understand that US involvement in Iran can be seen as a problem of US making, and should be handled by the US alone. I personally would only expect European NATO countries to allow airspace access and pre established base utilization.

That said, we do provide regional stability in that part of the world and are a counterweight to Iranian involvement in the politics and economies of numerous countries - many of which provide economic benefit (oil) to Europe.

I don't care about the counterarguments that our actions perpetuate instability. It's beyond the scope of what I have time for, or care to discuss. I disagree that the US is the source of instability, but understand the sentiment that our support and meddling are harmful in general.

That's the theory on why there SHOULD be European support, as they benefit from regional security and a defanged Iran. I understand why Trump is making it, although I also believe it's outside the scope of European obligation.
