International War Room Lounge v239: I'm the Socrates of Sherdog....

[TeTe]

He dead?

No one knows what happened to him. Not even Solid, Flash or Grapple. Hope he's okay.. just weird that he'd disconnect like that completely.

Maybe he just got tired of foruming.. it happens.

I've worked with a couple of retired mercenaries. Gets pretty terrifying when they have a couple of drinks and start opening up.

Got friends that were honorable discharges from the Army and Marines go into private contracting work. Some of the shit they've seen is.... *shudders*

 

[Trotsky]

Most of them are full on brothels, depends what you're willing to pay.

That makes it more understandable, although also more sad.

Plat too.


You're getting pegged and someone forgot to close the window blinds.


That's like their thing though.

Yes to forgive is divine, I’m almost positive I wouldn’t though Greg.

He says "tell Jesus H. aloha, and he can go fuck a pineapple."

That’s shockingly coherent, so he’s doing ok?

I was shopping for pants online and one of the models wasn't wearing fucking shoes or socks. Never clicked away so fast.

Same.

I've sat in Court hearings where the victim's family gave a statement for how they wanted the defendant to get help yaddayadda and that they forgave them and my brain was like "they killed your daughter and then cut her body into pieces... HOW CAN YOU FORGIVE THAT?!"

Most people I know in that instance would go "where's my axe?" and then.....

So in college I was a big backpacker/extreme camping guy. Met some wild dudes. This wasn’t one of them. One dated a good friend of mine, he seemed pretty chill and boring but really good in the woods. Knew him for years.

He was older than us. Said he worked as a contractor before going back to school. I was thinking like a construction guy.

Anyways post college I do one last trip with the gang. Me and him ended up taking a side venture for I don’t even know why. Get to talking, he mentions parachuting in with chainsaws and I’m like what the hell? He had to make landing pads for helicopters in South America jungle a few times when they needed to get VIPs out but the US gov couldn’t go in. Or parachute in, clear out a drop spot for all the guns and gear, and work security for a few months at a stretch.

Oh. Contractor. Like military contractor. Not construction. Suddenly YEARS! of little things he’d let slip when drunk make sense. And I can’t believe this boring ass (now a county financial guy on the chamber of commerce) skinny dude is probably the deadliest guy I know.

My hometown found one only after someone reported to the health department they got the clap after going there.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Look at that disgusting beard thing on his jaw. Gross. Thats the face of a guy who makes sex toys out of potatoes.

Think we got a front runner for next lounge thread title

 

[CubicleGangster]

It's really strange to me that "rub and tug joints" exist.

Post age 16 I don't see the appeal of hand jobs.

A hand job after a good massage sounds pretty relaxing

Clearly it will need a poll of suggestions for faces that would most fit the bill.

same with backpage lol

 

[Gregolian]

same with backpage lol

My old job Backpage was a huge problem.

Washington has something they call the "At Risk Youth" statute which allows parents to contact juvenile probation if their kid is acting out and stuff to try and get them some services help (like therapy) before the kid picks up charges. Had one kid that ran from home and we only found it when probation did their weekly search of Backpage and saw them being pimped out there.

 

[Trotsky]

same with backpage lol

Except Craiglist seemed to have some actual entrepreneurs, whereas Backpage seemed like it was more largely a platform for trafficking rings. Kind of hard to get a chuckle out of that, wah wah.

A hand jibber is pretty solid during/after a massage. I can't bust a nut that way, but it still feels good.

@Jack V Savage @Trotsky @Gandhi @kpt018 @Lead interesting article on how the ARPA could impact economic theory going forward and a thread by Krugman commentating on it.

My thought reading that was, yeah, it sounds right (and is well-put), but not really surprising. I've seen Krugman make all of the first four points previously, and at least discuss 9 as a serious possibility (and I would have assumed he believed 6 and 10). It's a great sign of how things are changing.

Also, Obama had short-run austerity forced on him, and I think Congressional Republicans' actions in the Trump years show that a big part of that was just a desire to hurt the economy while Obama was in the WH. But he did rhetorically go along with it (celebrated falling deficits, for example), and his offers did tend to be about trading short-term stimulus for long-term debt reduction so still arguably fair to say he embraced austerity, but kind of oversimplified.

What is a Chomo?

Those long shaped Mexican donuts with the cinnamon on the outside. Very good.
