WAR ROOM LOUNGE V15: Lunge

Admittedly it's a neboulous concept, but it's my firm view that It depends on how much an individual values the idea of valor or honor as it relates to any closed hierachy.

In my city, before they got absorbed by the Hells Angels, there was this one percent motorcycle club called the Satan's Choice. An aquaintance of mine who liked to to drink and snort would heavily imply he was a part of that organization at parties,and at the local bars. Someone eventually poisoned his two juvenille rotweilers. People take that shit seriously. With the stolen valor thing you are laying claim to the "social perks" that come with the designation you've adopted. These are perks that others have suffered and died for.

Make no mistake, I don't worship uniforms, but I do understand that there are heirarchies in society.

Buk lied to me for three years. He wasn't my friend friend or nothing, but we had lengthy personal chats, and I grew used to the image I had of him...it strikes me as intensely dishonerable to lie for clout. It just taints everything else.

Wouldn't it twist your shit if you found out a aquaintence had been mistrespresenting himself for bullshit?

How do you know he lied?

EDIT: Never mind, read through the rest of the thread and saw it.

Man, all these weebs on this forum and all I got for japan recommendations was robots and a hooker.

Thanks, nerds.

The guy in front me watched pro wrestling on the plane tv the entire damn time, btw

Sorry my weeb powers weren't of more use to you. Maybe if you ever decide to go to a con I can tell you to how to get in on the orgies.

This is good music to drink some red wine and have some good conversations about life in a well spaced living room...

Haha I'm laughing because my dad would've probably asked me to do the same

Not sure if that's ghetto or cheap.

This dude I'm referring to is a 5'5 Asian guy who I first saw wearing tight jeans, an undershirt and his work boots to the gym. I just thought maybe he forgot his gear but I've seen him several times since rocking the same thing. It's not a cheap gym and he drives a 60k truck so maybe he just watched a bunch of dmx videos and that's how he needs to dress to get his pump on.

I remember years ago watching a Nate Diaz video weight training in preparation for his 170 debut and he was rocking jeans.

Maybe some dudes aren't a fan of breathable active wear and give no fucks about groin chafing -- I'm not one of those people

Does he think

I'm trying to think of something more "ghetto" than dudes who wear jeans to the gym

Maybe he's channeling the barbarian brothers. In the 80s they were one of the biggest things in bodybuilding. They were elite level massive and among the strongest guys in the world! They became famous for routinely dressing in lumberjack flannel, construction boots and jeans.

@PolishHeadlock @Jack V Savage

Seriously, this is the guy who I am supposed to revere as an intellectual giant of the right?

Besides the fact that I've never seen anything genuinely insightful from the guy, I also have seen numerous moronic statements like this.

 

[Quipling]

Lol literally all you had to do was respond to me seriously with what you were interested in. I lived in Tokyo for a year and was willing to help.

I tagged you tho. Do you have that blocked?

 

[ShinkanPo]

I should never make threads, it makes me feel obligated to respond to morons.

But where is the fun in that.

 

[Trotsky]

That reminds me

Oh shit... no I don’t, but sorry I just must have missed it. Well, now I feel like a jerk. I hope you found something enjoyable to do with your time in Tokyo.

Speaking of tagging: @Cubo de Sangre I hope you and yours aren’t affected too badly by this Hurricane Lane coming up. Stay safe bulleh!

i watched this while listening to that music for way too long

Pretty sure Jack despises him.

Also did a quick Google search and couldn't find this quote outside of that twitter account and that account isn't actually Sowell.

He has written articles defending Walmart which I tend to agree with

No, I agree with you. If you're thinking of me as someone who has praised Sowell, you're mistaken. If you want to read intelligent right-wingers check out Russell Kirk or Robert Nozick, or to focus on living ones: Roger Scruton, Bryan Caplan, Tyler Cowen, David Frum, Ross Douthat, Cliff Asness, Nick Gillespie, Michael B. Doughtery, or Eric Falkenstein. There are others, but all of those guys come to mind way before Sowell. And given that I'm not a right-winger myself, I obviously don't endorse everything those guys say or agree with them about many important issues, but I believe they argue intelligently and in good faith.

Do you listen to Nujabes?

Mr. Sowell is only good in the Economics domain, as soon as he steps out of that, things get silly.

 

[JonesBones]

Made a fortune on this stock. Funko. Nerds buying all this shit. Somebody called Jim Cramer last night and asked him about it. Cramer said the stock is "too hot" to touch. I agree. Good thing I am already holding it and keep selling.

Something for everyone.

I think he's silly even in that domain. The field has changed dramatically since he left it (much, much more heavy on empiricism, which has also caused theory to change, while it used to be more about proselytizing about markets).

Unfortunately if he still had enough energy into his old age to immerse himself in his field he would make sense of the outcomes thst have occured since his prime years.
