War Room Lounge v99: "I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to too."

[Social Distance Warrior]

The loudest collective groan I ever heard in a movie theater was the "I thought Christmas only came once a year" line from that film.

for me it was this scene. fantastic car chase scene ruined by a stupid fucking line.

 

[HereticBD]

a battle of intellectual Titans....

Did this all really start because Trotsky suggested that Hillary was more hawkish than Trump?

I haven't gone through the entire ordeal.

I don't how it started, but I definitely think it had something to do with @Trotsky throwing some kind of shade at Hillary Clinton at some point. That's pretty much @Jack V Savage's bat signal.

I said that, while it was reasonable for casual general voters to misjudge Trump as being less hawkish than Clinton during the lead up to the 2016 election given Trump's isolationist rhetoric and criticism of past interventions, continued "still better than Clinton" takes on foreign policy have since become indefensible in light of Trump's warmongering.

Vicious, I know.

So...

@Trotsky vs @Jack V Savage in the Dem Primary thread.

Who you got?

Bet on JVS in a battle of attrition.

No, it started because Trots was trying to portray me as some kind of Clinton superfan to avoid addressing arguments. The later argument was not a big deal (and we agree on the facts there, but he insists that the wrong answer was a reasonable mistake).

sounds like a positively riveting affair!

That's another groaner. It doesn't really even fit what's happening or the character, at least to me.

 

[Fawlty]

Any chance Jack apologizes for outing Trots' prior account and Trots apologizes for saying he thinks Jack has NPD?

Or are we past that being a thing? It would be a tense armistice, but a fair start to one.

no shit, I was like, "WTF?!?!? they didn't edit this shit out??!"

on a related note, I think I've only been to two movies where the end was met with a standing ovation.

South Park Bigger longer and Uncut

and Farenheit 9/11

Have you ever heard the O&A rants about 'Twister'?

A great way to waste an hour or two.

not taking sides here...but I do admire how both of you are able to dissect each other's arguments...

Trotsky, you're a lawyer,

and JVS, I don't know what you do...maybe you work in contract law? or a philosopher on the side? or maybe a librarian?

another terrible film, that only got good ratings due to fantastic special effects.

She won’t survive Rammadan.

Got mistaken for being in my 20s a few times this week. Even got asked if I had dyed my goatee with white streaks. God bless these numskulls.

I'm a stock analyst. And he doesn't dissect any arguments of mine; he just makes shit up and attributes it to me. Could be reflective of our jobs--mine involves following evidence and being right and his involves persuading people of a preset position whether it's right or not.

why are you just telling me this now?!!?

any suggestions?

no but seriously..

I have heard quite frequently regarding the Coronavirus, that this epidemic is "For real" because the stocks are diving. are the stock markets an accurate barometer of whether or not a pandemic is legit?

don't fall for his "taqiyyah". he's just trying to befriend you now, only to behead you later.

I blocked him a long time ago. I don't have time for stoner Muslims who want Sharia Law.

Fair. I definitely don't look as young for my age as I did in the past. Losing weight has helped. But only about half of people give me the "no way" when I tell them I'm 40. The other half are like "yeah that seems about right."
