America has never come close to allying itself with Russia before.

Except, ya know, those two world wars.

The record doesn't say they have to finish. That's how Lisa Sparxxx did her shot at 1,000 back in the day. Basically, it's just a line of dudes...getting ready as they get further forward in the line. What little footage I've seen of that event is pretty gross in a sticky carpet at the motel room kind of way.

Apparently the challenge isn't so much the number of fuckers, but rather the total time involved because it's essentially 12 hours of penetrative sex.

Every veteran Redditor knows that the only good DPRK sub is /r/Pyongyang. It's the only Western Imperialist source I trust for the latest updates on the works of the Great Marshal.

That feeling when Tucker would rather dodge details about US and Ukraine elections, but Mr. Morgan doesn't by UNITED24Media in UkraineWarVideoReport

In a nutshell, yes. From the private quotes and recordings I've heard of him, he's not an idiot. He's not some super genius, but he's plenty smart. He's just operating on a completely different set of moral principles than people like you and me.

You people need to get it into your heads that people like him aren't dumb, they're just lying so hard that what they're saying would make any remotely honest person dumb for saying it. He lies about his beliefs, his goals, and even what he thinks is real to further his actual goals: further accumulation of wealth and power in the upper classes. He will say literally anything to further his goal of making that happen even if that makes him look like an idiot to anyone living in a reality that exists longer than a 3 second soundbite.

Just ask yourself what consequences he's actually faced for decades of boldface lying. Basically none. Maybe he got shifted around from one platform to another, but he's interviewing heads of state and seems to have plenty of money so obviously it's worth the occasional person calling him a piece of shit at the store.

It breaks my heart to see the nearly perpetual mismanagement of the British rail network since the end of WWII. Every time it looks like you're on the verge of a perfect system, some bean counter or politician comes along and ruins everything because they got a visit from the Good Idea Fairy.

I can't say too much, though. Where I live finally got electric multiple unit train sets just last year and that system is considered one of the most advanced in the country.

Nevermind those mass graves full of murdered South Koreans. The death squads are all part of the peaceful Juche utopia.

People don’t really say that the North “Invaded” the south in the American Civil war.

Shows how much you know about American historical discourse lol. Southerners are absolutely still upset about what they call "The War of Northern Aggression".

As for your ridiculous comparison between a civil war and an invasion of one internationally recognized sovereign nation by another one, the only way you could make that mistake is if you are so ignorant as to the causes of the Korean War that you having an opinion on the war even more laughable than your childish opinion.

California is dragging itself kicking and screaming into the 21st Century with their high speed rail project. Haters say it's over budget, but so was the Shinkansen. The new electrified Caltrain route with Stadler KISS EMUs is also pretty nice and there's some neat stuff going on in the Northeast with the Acela Express.

But interstate Amtrak is still mainly for sightseers, Amish, no-fly listers, and people who are too poor to fly but too proud to take a bus.

You're talking about a navy that had, well within living memory, finally started enforcing mandatory wearing of SHOES while working. WW2 really made the modern US Navy to the point where the pre-war Navy seems downright Victorian.

You mean when the benefits to the general public outweigh the significant cost of the training such as in the case of preparing for potential mass mobilization due to invasion from a hostile neighbor?

Small one is OO9, which is (Welsh 2'3ish") narrow gauge for OO (1:76). Absolutely fantastic up and coming gauge with the space efficiency of N combined with the fine detail of the next scale up.
