I loving hate this new call of duty

I get tempted now and then to get that and then I remind myself I haven't enjoyed a call of duty game since the first one way the hell back when. Also I don't do multiplayer on shooters which is where I figure a lot of the value comes from.

But he’s wrong, that’s the best part.

I mean unless you’re talking the majors. But that’s like not counting a car crash Bc the truck was made in Mexico.

FAA regulates charter services as well, so...

I'm seeing no passenger jet fatalities in 2017 googling it. So the distinction between prop planes may be the difference? Plus ignoring all those silly cargo plane deaths, military transports or jets, etc.

That or the report I'm reading is just flat out wrong.

For the record by the way I was not in any way implying he wasn't and thought that fact was pretty obvious, I was just trying to figure out what little news blurb an aide handed him or that he saw on Fox and Friends that made his brain think "wow, let me take credit for this!"

Bannon the Chinese gold farmer is one of those things that I laugh about every time I remember it. Like Dean Spanos trying to get the FAA to stop the guy flying a plane with a message making fun of him over his stadium in LA. Then the FAA told him they can't do anything because they don't care about stadiums that small. Or Tim Tebow's joke of an attempt at a baseball career.

About to head to the store to get stuff. You know poo poo is about to get real when the suggested recipe includes "Step 2: Turn on your vents and open your windows"

Get as thick of a steak as you want, there isn't any "oh the outside cooks too fast and the middle isn't done enough" anymore.

I mean there were ways around that anyway if you knew what you were doing and I've appreciated it more with other foods more than steak, but it's now impossible to gently caress up.

what the gently caress is going on

It's apparently copied and pasted from some NY Post editorial and Trump hosed up consensual and consequential.

I clicked through to Trumps twitter so everyone else doesn't have to. God it's so terrible.

e: It also took him a full 16 minutes to copy and paste the second part of what he was trying to quote.

Actually the column itself says consequential so Trump probably doesn't actually know how to copy and paste.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if the worthless DNC had this exact train of thought

Speaking of I read this blurb this morning:

quote:

Paul Maslin was Jones’s pollster in Alabama. He believes their victory proved that the right way for Democrats to appeal to the middle in 2018 is to run as counterweights to chaos, name-calling and inaction. “If you are out there, particularly as a challenger, communicating that message, it can really work,” the veteran Democratic operative said during an interview last week when he was in town for the new senator’s swearing-in. “That was our calling card. When we talked about health care and education, we did it through that context and lens: Why can’t we work together to get something done? Why can’t people work together to improve our schools? Democrats can stick to the issues that matter most to them and then make a larger point about getting along and civility …

All those black folks who came out to vote? Yeah they didn't matter at all, we don't need to worry about appealing to them. Oh and it didn't help us that we were running against the least electable man in the world.

One of the directors at work just talked me into playing indoor soccer with his team tomorrow despite me saying that 1. I have not played soccer since intramurals in college, and 2. I never played soccer before then, so the idea of moving a ball with my feet feels foreign. I hope they just throw me in goalie and call it a day.

Just mark/stay in front of people on defense as best you can and swing your foot at the ball if you get a chance to blindly clear and you'll probably be fine. If it was a super competitive league you wouldn't have been asked to join.
