The guy that claimed he was the afghan baby crane at the turmp rally is being contradicted by his command.

quote:

While Clark did not say when he helped evacuate a baby, Clark's command told Task & Purpose that Clark was not the Marine seen in the August 19 video.

Clark is also under investigation as a result of his appearance, Task & Purpose reported.

I think my brain is busted about halloween. I just don't care about it, at all. Don't really need horror movies anymore either, plenty of scarier poo poo on cable news than some boogeyman in a cornfield.

I'll be putting out candy for the neighborhood kids this year, though. First time I'll have done that in 6 years.

I don't know when my brain broke over horror, sci-fi horror included, it just doesn't register as anything more than unintentional comedy at best. Maybe it's years of desensitization, maybe it's the real monsters in the news every single day, but it all feels hollow.

Kinda feel like kids should be more afraid of their pastor than a swamp monster or an alien.

Bingo! That's the nice thing with horror film, while some are super realistic, most of them aren't, and it's kind of a release. I mean be afraid of the Priest wanting to sodomize a bunch of kids, but Jason isn't real and you don't have to worry about him punching your head off (real talk Part 8 if you just ignore the Manhattan aspect, being skimpy as hell), is really drat fun.

Also there is nothing wrong with unintentional comedy.




Yeah, I get that the idea is more of an escape from reality than a portrayal of it. Nothing wrong with unintentional comedy, but my mind just goes "meh" whenever I see a horror on.

Michael Flynn received $200,000 in undisclosed payments for consulting work in the Middle East before joining Donald Trump's administration.

The retired U.S. Army general was paid for his work in 2014 and 2015 on a plan to build 40 nuclear power plants in the Middle East, which never came to fruition but would have involved companies from Canada, France, Russia and the U.S. constructing and managing nuclear plants in Arab nations, reported the Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad.

For me the Zoloft gave me zero performance issues but serious finishing issues. I could jerk it but didn't really care if I finished or not. My gf (now wife) wasn't complaining too much about that effect though...

Honestly, kinda the best part about zoloft is the delayed finish. I mean, you're going to give yourself friction burns trying to get a maintenance jack in, but there is no worry of three pump chumping into a date you want to see again.

It did gently caress all for depression though. Zoloft, not the porno boner skills.

Try Sling. It sucks, but for $35/mo, the selection is pretty decent. Sports stuff costs more, of course. No locals though.

I keep looking at Philo but they don't have an xbox app and are missing a channel or two I space out to regularly. E: no TBS, TNT, Cartoon Network/adult swim.

Also Sling's new layout blows. Can't bring the guide up over an active channel.

Truth. Seriously, worth the watch if you've never seen it.

Bruce was also in a Jim Carrey movie some 15 years ago but it's a bit role overacting for film sequence shown in the movie, The Majestic. So like, 2 minutes of campy relief while Jim Carrey is being largely sad and confused for 2 hours. Best 2 minutes of the movie.
