I will build a predictive model that will tell us, based on all our traits, at which day each of us is most likely to die along with providing a confidence interval showing that our chances of collective survival are 1 in 1,000,000 or less.

We need a handful of actual soldiers to train the rest of us into Frank Castles

A poster who is quite possibly insane. He has a major problem with the police and posts about it regularly in Goons In Platoons.

Caro has now reappeared under the name Just like I said. He's bought himself a helmet, a gas mask, an atropine pen, and a camcorder and is off to Libya to die a gruesome death probably at the hands of Pro-Kadaffi forces be a journalist. Hopefully his parents will peek down in the basement sometime before this happens and put a stop to it.

If you see or hear anything of Caro, contact someone who can get him the help he needs, holy gently caress.

It should be noted that Caro's only knowledge about medical procedures came from YouTube videos that he saw. Why and how he successfully posed as a medic is beyond all powers of human comprehension.

Caro is apparently planning to go to Syria to cover their civil war. Apparently having avoided violent death in the Libyan war zone was not enough for him.

Apparently, on June 13 2013, Caro was placed on the FBI's Kidnappings and Missing Persons list:

Last reported in branch 215. A prison of the Syrian Military Intelligence Directorate. Last seen half fed and asking people to kill him

Leperfish you would learn Arabic and then create a system to teach it to us so we are speaking fluently in weeks. Language is going to be the biggest obstacle, next to race. Most of you guys are white, even Manas wouldn't pass as native. I think I could pull it off until I opened my mouth. Our story obviously has to be one of foreigners. Either to join ISIS (I don't know how they vet potential members, (Leperfish you could help find this out)) or some sort of Bollywood cover story where you all are my handlers. I haven't really thought this through but it wouldn't be a bad way to spend a life and we'd either end up absolute heroes, or dying fighting absolute evil. The worst case scenario is getting captured and tortured for years

edit: how badass would it be if we got caught by the US gov for trying to join ISIS but we just told them we were doing their job for them and showed them this old timestamped thread as proof and got US military equipment in return

Also, Ehud if you want a Dolphins friend, while my wife and I have had a 5 year debate on whether the child would wind up being a Vikings or a 49ers fan, she independently determined this season that she loved dolphins, and therefore Miami is the team for her. In fairness, living with me has conditioned her to embrace mediocrity, so it’s about as natural a fit as one can expect.

There's a difference between getting to know people with political differences, and dating them. I've done the latter, and it's a bad idea.
