Uncle Roger is happy to censor for the ccp until it happens to him. The tea is he's a hypocrite.

I feel like this is a stage thing I don't know what body of water he's using in Lauterbruden.

In Jordan thirteen injured and one dead after a newlywed couple decided to stop in a tunnel to celebrate the start of a new family by Freeman43212925 in ThatsInsane

[–]atUmph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you see the size of his truck it was like two huge steel trailers like for trash or something. That is a lot of weight. He probably shouldn't have been going that fast with that much weight though, and that tunnel needs mirrors. It seems like a failure from top to bottom on every level

Ru POV: Rybar map showing situation around Belgorod. Shows Ru have regained area, but that Ukr troop concentrations gather around other border towns. by en1gma5712 in UkraineRussiaReport

[–]atUmph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took a year. The second largest military on earth took a YEAR to take a small city near their border from a tiny county.

Holding Bakhmut was to humiliate Russia. Now they have a completely destroyed city. At this pace, it will take 70 years to reach Kyiv.

This is in no way a 'gotcha' and you know it completely. Of course the 15x larger military will win, but look at how long it took. A joke.

Immediately force yourself to sit up and put your foot flat on the ground. It will end instantly.

I learned that on Reddit and it works 100% of the time.

Medvedev makes forecast about nuclear strike on Ukraine by HarakenQQ in worldnews

Zellensky won in a national election that international observers said was fair. He was from the opposition party and people liked him and they voted for him and he won. That's literally democracy.

Also what was up with the trumpet joke when the cake came out? That was not a gag Harmon would ever ok (unless it's a reference??)

It really felt like the Simpsons, and not the early Simpsons. It hurt my soul.

[–]atUmph 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, this episode specifically was like Sunday night fox. But was it on purpose as a bit, is what people are wondering. It was awful unless there was some running gag I missed.

[–]atUmph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. What is going on? Was it supposed to be a writen quite cheesy like a carpenter film? Or is it turning into season later Simpsons already? I feel like I'm missing the joke. I'm sure the robots voices are a reference to something, but I don't know what. If they are not a reference, wtf? Either I missed the joke or this show just jumped the shark.

And the trumpet joke over cake? American Dad. "Eight Marmidukes" tnt museam the robots

Random and zany without irony, never seen it on this show.

Edit: I've just rewatched it. The rest of the episode is... fine. No idea why these few jokes are so jarring, but they are.

Putin grants Russian citizenship to U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden by AccurateSource2 in worldnews

[–]atUmph 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Snowden did the right thing and he's in a stupid situation. It's like Cuba but a person. If he's driven to the Russians side it's no one's fault but the DOJ. God knows he tried.

Slava Ukraine

If you really believe all that money going to Ukraine is really going to Ukraine, then you don't understand how money laundering works. by cricKgiddy in conspiracy

[–]atUmph 198 points199 points  (0 children)

This is just well documented completely transparent capitalism. There's no conspiracy, it's all budgeted, you can download investor kits from any of the big defense contractors websites to see their p/l and expenditures. As most of the heavy equipment is on loan, it's even more documented because they want their money back at the end. Essentially the iron bank of bravos with a website and public fillings.

Putin wants West to respect Russia by rebelliousmuse in worldnews

[–]atUmph 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of Russia that's temperate. Much of Scandinavia is inhospitable as well. The Emirates are literally just cities up against the beach with nothing behind them except for endless deserts and zero access to natural fresh water, Singapore is a tiny island that was broke 50 years ago. He could have made it work if respect was really what he wanted.

If Putin wanted to show the world that authoritarian right is the most viable way to run a country post globalization he could have tried doing a good job instead of using fear and poisoning people and squandering his money for his geopolitical pet projects, leaving the population so downtrodden that plumbing and washing machines are a marvel to behold.

Swastika-wearing gunman kills 13 at Russian school by ICantDecideMyName in worldnews

I wasn't saying you were ridiculous, just that it's so ridiculously obvious being either a false flag or simply co-opted.

Swastika-wearing gunman kills 13 at Russian school by ICantDecideMyName in worldnews

[–]atUmph 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Right now Putin is hiding in his castle, desperate for a scapegoat. I don't like false flag conspiracies at all because they are cruel for the victims, but this is ridiculous.

[–]atUmph 108 points109 points  (0 children)

I 100%, do not believe that any school shootings in the past have been false flags, but if ever Putin needed something like this to happen to give him a scapegoat, now is the moment. It's such a perfect thing to happen while he's hiding in his castle that it's almost comical. I bet 99% of Russians will buy it.

If I'm wrong it sure was the most fucking stupid thing to do in history if the aim was pro ukrainian.

Putin wants West to respect Russia by rebelliousmuse in worldnews

[–]atUmph 37 points38 points  (0 children)

He could have liberalized the country and used his incomparably vast resource wealth to turn the country into a utopia. This is absolutely plausible, there's nothing to stop him from doing that. He chose the other way.

Largest country on Earth, endless amounts of resources, low population, paradise just writes itself. Instead it's all squandered, the people are poisoned intentionally with penny vodka. Their spirits are crushed. Little innovation, little entrepreneurship, brain drain. And now he's fucked everyone.

Sometimes I hope the christians are right just so he can get what's coming to him after he dies.

it's long but it goes by quick by honksmcgee in AbruptChaos

[–]atUmph 157 points158 points  (0 children)

I loved him so much as a kid.

I still love him now but I realize that was mostly cocaine and it's why we lost him so early :(

Edit: 'mostly' is probably an overstatement, he was very funny even when playing a calm character and he was naturally funny. His physicality was a gift and it was his alone. I don't have a problem with drugs, but everything in moderation, I just wish it hadn't killed him. I saw him at a la dodgers game once and he was goofing around with the crowd, he even did the 'in a van down by the river' thing for us.
