I remember a few years ago when some Woke junkie was trolling this page. He made the mistake of going after me, Kendo and a couple of other guys. Instead of getting us frothing at the mouth and yelling like lunatics he was either ignored or hilariously put down. I seem to remember his tenure lasted about a week and he was gone. That's one of the things I love about this group. If we got together in a room, I bet we could have an open discussion about ANYTHING and we would find that despite half of us disagreeing with the other half, there wouldn't be any histrionics or calls for the guillotine. I think it's safe to say that while several of us certainly "lean right" I wouldn't label any of us Conservative and I'm betting that the members that "lean Left" it's the same. In short, I like talking to adults. That's why I'm still here.

The Destruction Rune spells. These have become my ultimate weapon against Draugr. I discovered (by accident) that you can place the runes on the sarcophagi containing lurking undead. Doing so will either completely destroy the occupant if they're low level or awake them prematurely before you cross the trigger point. You will have to have the perk that allows you to cast the runes further from your character, but the range is phenomenal! Some tactics: 1) There is one dungeon (Forsaken Cave) where the PC has to pass through a swinging blade trap into the main burial chamber and, of course, as soon as he crosses the threshold, the boss and his minions awake. Instead, stand in the corridor, time your spell to avoid the swinging blades and place the rune. The boss exits the sarcophagus, trundles down the hallway towards you, snicker-snack go the blades, and boss dies before he even gets close. Easy-peasy! 2) Some burial chambers have multiple sarcophagi containing a bajillion undead that activate and swarm the PC when you enter the room. As above, stand inside the doorway before the trigger point, cast a rune on one sarcophagus at a time. If the rune doesn't take out the occupant, you can easily dispatch it one-on-one. Work your way thru the room, preferably in stealth mode. In some dungeons you can completely eliminate the minions before triggering the boss. Way easier to fight him without being swarmed by his minions at the same time! 3) Try and find an inaccessible spot in the chamber. Sometimes Draugr ruins have corner ledges that can reached either by jumping or using the Whirlwind Sprint shout. Once in position, place your rune and take out the enemy. If your stealth is high enough, you can even do this from a spot where the creature can still reach you but they usually un-aggro and you can rinse and repeat. Seriously. The versatility of this spell is amazing. Sometimes you can clean out a large chamber before entering. -
For good or for ill, Trump is actually doing something and this is what scares the intrenched politicians on both sides. We've been hearing about "Immigration Reform" since at least Clinton and yet not a thing has been done. Trump has been in office less than a year and shit is getting done. Now, while he may be overstepping the laws or Constitution is for minds way more educated than mine to argue but this is what gets the politicians off of their asses and forces them to DO THEIR FUCKING JOBS! Now, instead of sitting back and mouthing canned responses, those assholes have to address the issue and act on it. I don't know if Trump is a madman, shrewd operator or genius but he is actually taking action against two issues I've only ever heard talked about: Immigration Reform and Government Waste Spending. And I think what's cracking me up is the Liberal Dems still think they have some kind of influence, despite half their voting base leaving them for Trump. I mean, the breakdown of Black, Latino and Women votes for Trump was absolutely unpredicted. Even people that don't like Trump or the Republicans recognize that they at least have some sort of plan, instead of handing the country over to a blue-haired, clinically insane micro-minority of the population. Look, I don't know where you stand on Trump. Shit, I'm still not sure where I stand with him but at least the issues are FINALLY being acted on. If they're unconstitutional, then yank them back into line. Illegal? Figure out where the line is and go from there. But please, do not think that the decades of "We'll tell you what you want to hear and then just exploit our Government Expense accounts" is going to stand anymore. Politicians are going to have to do their jobs, just like the rest of us. And if they can't or won't, then they'd better start looking for new positions.

EU urges citizens to stockpile supplies to last 3 days in case of crisis | AP News Apparently, the Russian Army that is stalled attacking a third-rate country and losing thousands of troops and billions in equipment every day is also, simultaneously, capable and ready to invade Europe any day now. Seriously, Legacy Media. You got your nose punched trying to mislead the public re: the election. Now, you think your Russian narrative can go in both directions at the same time?

I don't understand how making it so some working man or woman can't get to their job because someone disabled their car is helping the country. Liberals are absolutely fucking retarded.

Liberals: "I am anti violence!" CEO is assassinated on sidewalk, Teslas are vandalized Liberals: "I LOVE VIOLENCE!"

Entertainment is where I go to get away from Politics. I imagine that is not uncommon amongst other folks as well. What is it that entertainment companies still aren't getting about that? I noticed Amazon is loudly announcing that James Bond will remain Male and Straight in their upcoming productions. They sure as fuck seem to see the writing on the wall.

I've lived in a working-class neighborhood in our city since my family moved here in 1972 (yeah, I'm old as fuck. I was alive when Led Zeppelin was touring with Bonham on drums). I'm only second-generation. Many other families have been here for four and even five generations. I think there might even be two families that have been here since before the Declaration of Independence was drafted! Recently, a developer has been putting up these ugly ass, shipping container inspired Architecture condos all over the neighborhood. The price tag for these gawdawful cereal boxes is outrageous and, of course, have been bought up by the New Money types. Corporate execs, professors, and the like Was walking my dog the other day and one of the "New People" confronted me. Guy started talking to me like I was his fucking kid. I let him go for a minute, deftly shooting down all of his attempts to intimidate me: "Is your dog under your control?" I waggle the leash. "Are you cleaning up his poo?" (Yeah...he said poo...fucking 'tard) I reach into my pocket and shake a bag. I haven't uttered a word yet so he's starting to get pissed. "Well, do you care about the appearance of our neighborhood? Don't you care what our neighbors think?" I literally LOL. "Our neighborhood? Our neighbors? Buddy, you've been here, what, eighteen months? Within five years you're gonna get a promotion or a new post and be gone. What the fuck makes you think anyone on this hilltop gives a fuck what you think?" He starts gasping like a landed fish. I honestly think that no one has ever said "fuck" to this guy before. Finally, the guy sputters, "That's some attitude you have!" I laugh again. I point to the house on the corner. "The guy that lives there's grandfather built that house with his hands." I point down the street. "That family has been here since there was a British fort at The Point." I tap my chest. "And I've been here over forty years and will most likely die up here." He's sputters again. I smirk and finish with, "What makes you think anyone here is going to take your side against me? Now, go take your Tesla out for a spin with the windows down and clear your head." I hit him with my shoulder as I pass him, and the guy literally yelped. That was a good day.

I imagine this sort of thing is just spill over from the past four years of failed DEI. Most likely, this was some contract that was agreed to before adults took the country back. Probably cheaper to take the loss in sales than to break the contract, And you know the first mod for the game is going to be "make Taylor killable".

I don't recall the exact reason for the restriction, but I think all of the former Soviet lands are not allowed to join NATO due to some sort of treaty. And let's be frank: Allowing, say, Ukraine to join NATO would be like allowing the Russians to build a military base in Alabama. If Ukraine DID join NATO, I'm pretty sure we'd have a serious WW3 threat. EDIT: Nope. I'm wrong. Ukraine (or any other country) could join NATO. It would take their willingness to join and unanimous agreement by the other NATO countries but it's possible. That said, I stand with my reasoning above. Russia ain't gonna stand for that shit.

I did a l little bit of research, and it appears the US money accounts for just over half the bill for Ukraine. According to one article, Western Europe can't continue the war without the US share of the bill. So, it's a moot point. All the EU countries got up and pledged their support in words but the writing is on the wall. Looks like Zelensky and his cronies will only be able to afford exile villas with that missing $100 Billion but will have to buy Aston Martins with their own money. I'm something of a military historian and while I am NOT an expert by any means, I think it was pretty obvious that this was how it was going to go. If Russia didn't quit in the first few months, there was no way they were going to lose. And unless NATO sends in troops (hello WW3!) the Russians will do what they always do: trade time, territory and casualties for Victory. I genuinely feel for the everyday Ukrainians stuck in this mess. But stand up and fight or sue for peace. I know accepting defeat is hard but seeing your kids sent home in body bags is way fucking worse.

This is what happened after Lennon faked his death with help from the CIA and the Loch Ness Monster?

The good news is, if a Civil War does break out, this side is definitely going to lose.
