Had me worried, they really let Canada back in the game in 2nd half. Belgium gone too, although they've played terribly.- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
Well looks like Canada's toast, haha. Going to leave with zero points, I love it, all the media here can choke on that.- Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
Will wait for the sequel Meth Moose- Ukraine Conflict
I But they've attacked Belgorod. And Ukraine certainly had long range systems, like their Tochkas and however many Hrims they had. The concern with the ATACMS I guess is the precedent it will set, kind of a far reaching system for a proxy war. I get a kick out of people saying they are fighting with one hand behind their back, when that hand is someone else's.- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
Eh, I think it's a skill issue or maybe was sheer fatigue at that point. Poland advancing pretty much to be cut up by France next round, hah.- Ukraine Conflict
Always wonder how well those kinds of psyops actually work- Random video game news... RNG 4 EVA

Centuries ago is strange to refer against, considering how everyone operated. Reminds me of that "article" where some Estonian spies brought up the Mongols and the Great Northern War, heh. But at least the author didn't say "they only respect force". Fair enough, they're saying it openly.- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
Wasn't all that hard to see, they had a long time to process it. You can even see the crowd reaction gradually move from despair to acceptance and rage at their players - Fred got a lot of the abuse, for some reason. But a more experienced side than the ones here.- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
If only they could finish, had the Americans pinned back for a good time and did sweet **** all with it. Seems to be a problem for many teams this Cup Rough to see how players react to defeat, maybe lack of experience.

Senegal is a fun team, here's hoping they can beat England. Well we've seen your taste in music. 😛- What are you Playing Now? Whatever happens, at least we're out of that mudhole, Gilded Vale.
New WoW expansion seems fun, I like that it's just you exploring a continent rather than the Chosen One on a mission like WoD, Legion, BFA and SL. New expansion smell will fade, but enjoying mucking about with my friend.- Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
Randomly recall of a memory of a short clip of Repo Man when I was 7 before the channel changed made me watch it. Not a bad film, I've paid to see worse.- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
I feel for you having to watch that. I'm supporting Germany so I have to suffer whatever the hell their managers have called a setup for the last 8 years.- Ukraine Conflict
Is that actually a twist ? "Estonia’s foreign minister, Urmas Reinsalu, went a step further than most, calling on his NATO partners to pledge 1% of their GDP to Ukraine in military support, saying it would make “a strategic difference.”- Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
In other amusing news, had a pitch invader yesterday, LGBT flag, pro-Ukraine and pro-Iranian protesters statements on his tshirt. Not a big surprise that.- The Metal Thread

What would they be charged with at the Hague ? Luckily for them, stuff like the ICC only applies to small, weak nations. Wonder what the deconfliction line was used for, maybe the nuclear plant. Had thought that was the "red phone" I recall from Cold War times but that's a different one. Always wonder how conversations with say, Milley and Gerasimov go.- The Metal Thread

One can take precautions and still end up with cancer, though.- Ukraine Conflict

Well "free" as in sale, at least. Griner's arrest is related to the war and reason for invasion ? Tangentially to the former, not even sure how for the latter. Not solely restricted to aid, but the comments on the war in general, just chose that as one off example of people snarking at the West. The best comment still is by the UK UN Ambassador, if I recall, saying how dare a P5 nation attack and invade a smaller one with a totally straight face.- Ukraine Conflict
Well, you and Bruce were going on out about needing to put things in another thread. Bruce also posting about Griner was also okay here, although I guess something for him to whine about BLM for. As for people being snarky about things like the "rule based international order", no need to get all that bothered about it, doesn't change anything - Ukraine will keep getting its free weapons, support regardless.- Ukraine Conflict
Perhaps on a proportionate stage to a war, but this place is irrelevant and not sure why we need slavish obedience to threads being on-topic. Are random fires in Russia relatad to Ukraine's issues ? - Qatar 2022 - The Thread!
