Re: Old Computers
Back in the day, Age of Kings was the go-to game. The best RTS I've ever played. I've never played Starcraft, but since it's still alive and kicking, I'd imagine it's probably the greatest.

Re: Putin Invades Ukraine II
Would it be wrong to say Chomsky is a kinder, gentler Marxist? That’s been my impression. I’m sure it’s more complicated, but that’s my 10,000 foot view of him. I just can’t take that seriously but I’m sure he is able to make some good logical points about it. Whenever I’ve been exposed to his idea...

Re: DIY Real Estate

Is this something new that wasn't happening on this scale until recently for some reason? What changed to make this more attr...

Re: DIY Real Estate
These properties have not been touched. In fact, they don't even look like they've been lived in by the seller. Just a rough estimate from the widespread markets I've looked at I would say around 20 percent of properties have a purchase and resale date within a year of one another with price increa...

I know he was a big hero for the left side of the political spectrum in the past, but he seems to have become seriously demented in his old age. It's just objectively sad, IMO; all of my grandparents were the same right before they died.

Re: DIY Real Estate
It probably would not have been too difficult to end up with 10 houses over about a 10 to 15 year period, that were cheap and generated around 120 to 150k+ in cash flow per year. Well, if you could have bought 10 houses that cash flowed $1,000/mo in today's dollars, that could have been a smart pla...

Re: West Provokes Russia to Protect Russians in Ukraine
From my experience here’s where there is a problem with the military. We stay WAY too long when things are obviously not going well and the cost benefit analysis of military action has swung to the absolute loss side of the ledger. A weird dynamic occurs…all militaries hate to lose. It’s the ultima...

Defending "Russian's" within Ukraine were "Russian's" installed by Russia. Migration, force educators to only speak Russian and instate Russian states of minds, then rebel and seize.

Boris Johnson is telling us Americans that we should spend our money to buy ATACMs and a fuckload of air defense equipment for Ukraine, in addition to the BILLIONS we've already given them, and that other countries should contribute their aircraft.

Re: The Twitter Files
I don't know how many noticed it, but The Intercept put out somewhat of a prelude to the Twitter Files back in October, which put together a lot of the "conspiracy theories" and rumors that had been swirling around for years beforehand. I usually lump it all under the umbrella of "information operat...
