You appreciate the irony that the same folks who wanted the war in Iraq, the Dick Cheneys, the Nulans, the Eastern "new" Europeans are the ones clamoring for war against Russia? I …

The hull is bent inward in a manner characteristic of a torpedo.

Then y'all don't need us to come over.

Pray, from what? And please don't flatter yourself. Europe couldn't field an army of a 100 000 riflemen if you put all of the EU countries together.

As long as the EUpeans don't drag me, my loved ones, or my taxes into a war with Russia I couldn't care less if any this is declared or not nor do I care if they torpedo Russian sh…

This all assumes there's no computation beyond a Turing machine, right? Therefore, this assumes reality is a simulation on a finite set of rationals? So, as long as one believes in…

Even if your point is conceded which I will state as: "the impairment levels are too so that unimpaired habitual pot users appear impaired" 40% of the general population is not a h…
