War Room Lounge v67: Is Australia Real?

[AgonyandIrony]

A baseball bat to the head is attempted murder. Anyone doing that to someone is pure scum of the earth. I don’t think most people understand how fucking fragile the human brain is.

I mean. You right... But...

Spoiler

He deserved it.

 

[luckyshot]

Oh, bravo.

I can’t take credit for it, unfortunately.

By the way, I hate to criticize the website I love, but anybody else think the Street Coliseum was created because of dwindling popularity of MMA and an attempt to keep forum traffic up? In my mind, it goes against the spirit of martial arts. One thing if it had self defense value but most of the videos, while somewhat entertaining, don't belong on this site IMHO.

I don't agree but I appreciate that you hold our sport in such high regard.

If you see it coming and there are two hands on the bat, the counter moves are easy.



There is an even better one than that^,but I couldn't find it. It is all about range. The closer you are to the arms, the safer you are from the bat.

Ooooohhhhh. Would anyone like me to make the shitshow thread of the week? A transgender student at university of Illinois got charged with a hate crime

Really, seems like a super weak case. Made a noose and left it in hanging an elevator, far as I can tell no threat left behind aimed at a specific group. But it's a tranny in Chicago that looks like Sonshine from remember the titans got eyelash extensions. That's gotta have a dozen pages of screaching itself.

Australia gave us Steve Irwin

[Fawlty]

WTH lol. How come you are making the new Lounge instead of the other dude? And where are your links to the old Lounge(s) Rational?

There is significant Jimmy Rustle value in RP starting Lounge freds.

Yeah it's pure garbage but somehow I still like how it has caused "CTE" references to proliferate. I'm not even close to tired of them yet.

 

[Rational Poster]

Best lounge thread yet. Fuck that @Fawlty guy.

 

[Fawlty]

This thread feels so much more welcoming and accepting for some reason

Not a coincidence. Your vitriol sensors are working perfectly.

Opioid Crisis Spurs $1.8 Billion Grant Pledge From Trump


https://www.courthousenews.com/opioid-crisis-spurs-1-8-billion-grant-pledge-from-trump/

WASHINGTON (CN) – President Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion pledge to help states fight the opioid crisis earned cautious celebration Wednesday from groups on the epidemic’s front lines.

“It’s not enough, but it’s a step in the right direction,” Casey Dillon, program director for Advocates for Opioid Recovery, said in an interview.

The money pledged by the White House today will be split between two programs, with more than $932 million going to funding prevention and treatment services and another $900 million to help states set up programs to track overdose deaths.

Requirements are flexible for providers seeking prevention and treatment grants, but Secretary of Health and Human Services Alex Azar noted that the addiction-treatment options they provide must include a combination of behavior therapy and medication.

Dillon hailed this distinction, calling medication-assisted treatment the “gold standard” in opioid-abuse treatment. She added that the administration will need to have strong oversight to make sure the money goes to the right places and should commit to sending more money to combat the problem in the future.

Azar said grants for the overdose-tracking program will be doled out over three years.

Trump declared the opioid crisis a public health emergency in October 2017 and reaffirmed this policy stance today.

“My administration is determined to use every resource at our disposal to smash the grip of addiction,” Trump said in remarks from the White House on Wednesday.

In 2017, the most recent official data available, more than 47,000 people died from overdoses involving opioids, accounting for more than two-thirds of all drug overdoses in the United States that year.

But the Trump administration has hailed small victories in fighting drug-related deaths. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted a 5% drop in overdose deaths from all types of drugs between 2017 and 2018 based on preliminary data, the first such decline in decades. The agency is predicting another drop in overdose deaths of 3.4% from January to 2018 to January 2019, based on preliminary information.

How much shit is he going to promise without paying for it?

It's like he's running the country like one of his businesses.

Would like to know where it's coming from too. Billions is congressional business. He can only move money around, pulling from some other probably underfunded program (but I support pulling border fence money from the military budget). Deets needed imo.

So you are IN?

Someone last season was like this and he won many weeks via telepathy with the Pleiadians.

Thanks but no. Too many things on the go already.

That's not all she waxes.

It's true, Australia isn't real and certainly none of you can come here.
In fact I highly recommend America sets up a Disney styled Australian theme park and goes there instead.
Or maybe you could franchise it, like your "Outback Steakhouse".
Much better to have McAustralia sacrificial anodes, rather than us actually becoming one.

so @NoDak posted this in the interracial marriage thread:


which lead me to this one:

the Host is bombing, so he ambushes Murphy with Nword discussion, Eddie plays it for laughs then proceeds to let the guy bomb deeper and deeper until the whole room doesn't know what to do.
