  1. PS: One more thing: Kick Russia off the UN Security Council, right now. They never filed the correct paperwork. Make them do it. Then the US can hold off allowing them back on in perpetuity... until they change their fucking fascist leadership and prove they will respect other countries and not shit all over them.
  2. I didn't hear about that.... Been busy working all day.... I know they damaged several Russian amphibious landing ships yesterday, with anti-ship rockets... but I thought that was in Mariupol...
  3. I think Georgia should also take back the two breakaway regions stolen by Russia. Right now. And I would love it if Japan militarily took over the several "Kuril" islands that the Soviet Union took at the end of WWII. They were Japanese throughout history, I believe. Wipe all Russian forces off of those islands. I'm in the mood to challenge Putin in every way possible. Let's send Ukraine all the MIG's from Poland and Rumania that they want, right now.
  4. That's actually quite a bit shocking, if true...
  5. I would've said exactly the same thing, if not worse. In which universe should war criminals like Milosevic, Mussolini, Hitler, and Putin not be executed/ exterminated? With prejudice.
  6. You have some seriously screwed up definitions of what Democracy is. And how it should be safeguarded.
  7. Ditto on the 1971-80...
  8. Hmmmm... I must be very into instantly gratifying glam!
  9. Tampa Bay Lightning, 39-18-6, 20-12-2 AWAY ESPN+ 3/26 12:30 PM Detroit Red Wings, 26-31-7, 17-12-4 HOME
  10. I wanted them to sign UFA Filip Lindberg in the offseason, out of U-Mass. He's not much different from Ned... slightly larger at 6' 1", only 23, and very athletic like Ned. But the Penguins got him...
  11. 2022-23 Season: Greiss out, who do we get to back up Ned...?
  12. That was a shitty 1st goal but... It's 2-0 anyways so, a bit of work to do to get back into the game. And they just blew a 5 on 3 with nothing to show for it so... I don't know what to say.
  13. I think this would most likely be a majority opinion.
  14. They need to be forceful responses. IMO. Not sanctions.
  15. Just to flesh that out a bit... I like Changes and Life on Mars... but they're just ok songs to me... they don't knock it out of the park imo. And I know how popular Changes is, I actually do like the song... I just prefer other stuff by David Bowie. For example, aside from those two "decent" songs, the rest of the album is very meh to me... Except for one song that I think "knocks it out of the park": My favorite song on Hunky Dory is "Queen Bitch". A magnificent Bowie song...! This song really grabs me by the... ummm... yeah, ok... by the balls.
  16. A comment on Sticky Fingers: I'm not really interested in listening to "Brown Sugar" anymore. And Wild Horses is too maudlin for me, at least as sung by the Stones. Oddly enough, I prefer even slower versions of that song by I-love-them-slow-core bands Mazzy Star, and The Sundays... The only thing that really only still holds my attention from Sticky Fingers is Can't You Hear me Knockin'. But I do love listening to The Sundays or Mazzy Star belting out their slow-core versions of Wild Horses (The Sundays I think is the better of the two...).
  17. Oh, I'm sorry... But... The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust just completely blows Hunky Dory out of the sky. My apologies... 😁
  18. I don't think there should be any wafting. If Russia uses those weapons, they need to "Crimes Against Humanity" declare war against Russia. I think they should do that right now, based on their current extensive list of war crimes. But I'm Teddy Roosevelt, or Ronald Reagan, and I like using the Big Stick. Not everyone is willing to hold my position. That's just my 2 cents.
  19. In my opinion, cases don't matter anymore. Only hospitalizations/ death. If cases go up 1,000% and hospitalizations go up 5% as a result... moot point. Nothing should change from our current approach. In other words... I'm ready to move on with life.
  20. In answer to this... One note of caution: If an album has only 1 or 2 songs on it that I like then... I may like the artist/ songs but don't care for the album. I've never listened to the whole album by Bill Withers, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, some others... but I do know that I like a song or two. In either case, I wouldn't rank the album as I'm thinking in terms of loving the album, not just 1 or 2 songs. Aside from that: Genesis was too much for me at that time period. I liked them more after Peter Gabriel left and they became a lot more pop, or easy to listen to. Now I really love me some Peter Gabriel... but not with Genesis. The Rolling Stones/ David Bowie/ Pink Floyd/ have better albums than these, but there's at least one or two songs I like per album. Same with Bill Withers & Marvin Gaye, there's 1 or 2 songs that I absolutely love, but I can't speak to the whole album as I haven't listened. The Allman Brothers I know the whole album, but mostly just care about 1 song. None of these albums would gain a ranking from me... just not enough there when I'm thinking in terms of albums. As an entire album, these are the ones that are historically great, I love them to death, equally. I can't put any one above or below the other: Led Zep IV, Who's Next, L.A. Woman. These others, I absolutely love the album, even if they are not as iconic as the above albums (so they get the smaller font). I wouldn't be able to separate them or rank them, just as above, as I love each of them for their own uniqueness in sound and mood and excellence, but they are 1 step below the above list: Fragile, RAM, Imagine, Masters of Reality, Aqualung.
  21. Chiming in here... I want to give them what they've asked for in terms of military hardware. That means all the available Polish and Romanian MIG's that they keep asking for. 50-75 jets I think, between the two countries? And enough anti-ship missiles to watch the Russian Black Sea Naval Forces, all of it, to sink to the bottom...
  22. I don't know how many anti-ship missiles they have but we're trying to get them more...
  23. As soon as I heard Ukraine was pushing back Russian forces I started to worry about Putin lashing out with a chemical or nuclear attack in revenge/ frustration/ rage. I won't put it past him at all.
