Or the wonky intertwinement is the peace mechanism? How much more bloody would the world have been without it?

An Axis is forming.

I like to mix it up with a ‘howdy’ too. Kind of a throwback ‘hey’.

And a follow up nap 😴

I thought that was the joke. Of course the whole planet isn’t cold all at once.

Exactly. Israel, unfortunately, has been a strategic asset/liability for a long time. Oil powers the world. Having them where they are has benefited US interests in the region. All of it sucks and has sucked.

But I don’t think the forming axis powers have a great alternative to offer the world.

Can we all just switch to renewables/figure out fusion and put this shit behind us?

Overall, neither Ukraine or Israel deserve the help, but this global situation has quickly escalated into proxy territory where larger interests are also at play.

Man, wish everyone had been this fired up over Ukraine.

Except there is a lot more at stake here. Ukraine can’t afford everything they are getting that’s for sure.

Window dressing distraction from Ukraine anyway. Seems to be working.

As an introvert, I did a lot of things like that. But the tendency to be online more during that time started to result in depression. I don’t have many friends but I do have close friends. Not seeing them kinda ate at me. Things still feel weird.

I don’t know but it sounds fun. If Mike throws in a bounce house, I’m there!

Worked for a dog and cat boarding facility many moons ago. Of all my interactions with various breeds from private owners to our almost constant stream of rescued pitbulls - we were temporarily hosting/caring for. Only one breed almost took off my finger.

I needed stitches, the lead vet had to flood the wound with iodine and antibiotics.

God I loved that console. The weird ass memory card with the built in screen was just cool.

What on earth are you talking about.

Yeah, I stuck around for the horny bit to be unpacked but it never came.

Sure you didn’t, buddy. We know it was thick and don’t blame ya.

Sounds incredible! Very interested

Local network game streaming works quite well in my experience. That means I get to use my beefier PC to carry that burden while I play Last of Us part 1 for 5 hours on the deck at 60fps.
