Gromnir

wod, as usual, can't read. or doesn't bother to read... or doesn't understand what he read. take your pick. "Over the past three terms, no justice has written more concurring opinions or dissents than Justice Thomas." should sound familiar after reading Gromnir's post. we already noted that clarence thomas doesn't deserve the ire he receives from politicians and that his opinions has primarily been influential on Justices o' the Court... which were the point of wod's second linked article (although as it were 2014, am thinking it is a bit dated given some o' the obvious recent changes.) and again, the fact that not everybody agrees about thomas were exactly what we referenced when we observed, " in a museum dedicated to african-american history, clarence thomas is gonna be a divisive presence." so, posting links to articles that support Gromnir is a poor way to show, "Not everyone agrees with Gromnir's opinion of Justice Thomas" again, we used quotations accurate to show wod how it is 'posed to work. aside: hurl should recognize futility. given the obliviousness he shown for recent faux pas with linking random and suspect sources, am doubting you will convince wod o' his error. HA! Good Fun!

Why would I do that? I'm not publishing stories here. Do you really feel sending an email is digging deep? well, that advice mighta' saved him some grief a bit earlier in the thread. HA! Good Fun!

damn stalinists. good luck. is too bad there ain't any new released games that seem binge-worthy. ... 'course if you quit like did ed norton from fight club, then am guessing congrats are in order. am not being a &$%# by observing that the following is nsfw. HA! Good Fun!

Research is a Stalinist plot to indoctrinate people into Marxism. but clarence thomas was a stalinist. oh, the humanity! truly a moral/immoral conundrum. how do the stalinists feel 'bout excluding a fellow stalinist? as an aside, am not too surprised if clarence thomas' history has been glossed over. he is a taciturn Justice who, perhaps ironically, is one o' the most prolific writers on the Court. the thing is, J Thomas' voluminous writings is primarily concurrences and dissents. and as the second african-american Justice, he don't quite have same trailblazer cache as does thurgood marshall. larry doby mr. doby were the first black player in the american league o' mlb, and the second african-american to play in the big leagues after jackie robinson. mr. doby faced same/similar hurdles as robinson, but other than hardcore baseball fans, the number o' folks who recognize larry doby is small. "Larry Doby was a good and honorable man, and a tremendous athlete and manager. He had a profound influence on the game of baseball, and he will be missed. As the first African American player in the American League, he helped lead the Cleveland Indians to their last World Series title in 1948, became a nine-time All-Star and was voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1998. Laura joins me in sending our condolences to Larry's family during this difficult time." -george w.bush 'pon the death o' larry doby is larry doby in the museum? if he is, am betting that he gets much more limited recognition than jackie robinson. clarence thomas doesn't deserve much o' the ire he has drawn from politicians. it took J. Thomas a few years to develop a coherent guiding philosophy, but since then he has been consistent if convoluted. clarence thomas were not a groundbreaker culturally or philosophically. he were the second black Justice, and his concurrences and dissents were tending to be influential only o' other Justices. his decidedly libertarian and originalist opinions offended democrats and minorities. his willingness to use the Declaration o' Independence as a legal lighthouse offended more than a few legal scholars. the refusal to even recognize lawyers during oral arguments angered everybody in the legal community other than fellow Justices. a willingness to quote ayn rand nowadays is also gonna cheese off politicians on both sides o' the aisle. so yeah, in a museum dedicated to african-american history, clarence thomas is gonna be a divisive presence. am not taking wod's sources (HA!) as dispositive o' some kinda neglect o' J. Thomas, but it would not surprise us if such happened to the Court's Larry Doby. would be an unfortunate but predictable oversight. HA! Good Fun!

am suspecting that if it were a random guy who didn't set his parking brake and got outta his vehicle, which were on a slope, and he managed to get dead while standing behind the still running car, folks would be more likely to chalk this one up to user error, particularly as fed investigators didn't note mechanical problems. is tragic, but am doubting there would be much anger directed at the auto maker in question save for the fact that the one person who died due to jeep's "mistake" were a famous personage. there were indeed a safety recall on the class o' cars in question, but that weren't resulting from mechanical error so much as a recognition that the gear shift design change resulted in a small number o' drivers being... confused. *shrug* am thinking one can see from the video that a distracted driver unfamiliar with the design might have problems getting his vehicle into park. can't help but be reminded o' the audi 5000. the brake pedal on the audi were indeed placed different and were o' unfamiliar size for the typical american driver. numerous fatal accidents resulted. in a sense, there were a design flaw in the audi... but not really. no mechanical problem and the only design flaw were that it were different. familiar. am gonna give jeep the benefit o' the doubt on anton seeing as how investigators didn't discover a problem... and 'cause if anybody else had died in the same accident, given the circumstances, we would be assuming user error until it were shown to be otherwise. as to chill observations, we mention the audi and bmw as they is actual comparable (better in many respects) than the volvo that you were considering. if you want a genuine off-road vehicle, we would choose other than the volvo, audi or bmw. volvo is not great off-road and it has noted lack o' coordination o' the powertrains. take leferd advice if you want a good mix o' performance, reliability and value. or maybe wait for the land rover discovery? HA! Good Fun!

he seems to be shopping in the hoity-toity range o' full-size suvs along with the audi q7... but not quite the bentley bentayga or mercedes amg g65. could wait a year for one o' the hellcat powered jeep grand cherokees, but am suspecting the price tag would be excessive. http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/jeep-grand-cherokee-hellcat-production/ as an aside, having already mentioned jeep, we were shocked by how much we enjoyed driving a jeep cherokee trailhawk. we had a 1978 jeep cherokee that we put through hell before switching to a ford ranger pickup as our primary vehicle. we never considered buying another cherokee given how they kinda became soccer mom vehicles for a couple decades... that and it felt weird driving a vehicle named after an indian tribe. then we got a chance to play around with the trailhawk version o' a 2016 grand cherokee and we were pleasant surprised. for a former old skool rock donkey, we were quite happy with how well the trailhawk performed off-road in spite o' the lack o' solid axles. is likely we woulda' purchased one if not for the fact that our dogs need a bit more room than the vehicle provides. HA! Good Fun! ps the 2017 version o' the trailhawk cherokee will have 10.8" o' clearance... not that anybody cares.

2x in the past year, Gromnir has had to get rearview mirrors replaced 'cause cyclists smashed 'em as they tried to squeeze past our teutonic monstrosity, and failed. am knowing that josh sawyer is one o' those hardcore cyclist-rights activists, but am getting to the point where we see a cyclist trying to thread his/her way through traffic and we suffer a sensation similar to biting into aluminum foil. HA! Good Fun! ps is not as if the cyclist/demolitionists stopped after damaging our vehicle. smash the car and keep on biking 'cause it ain't like we can get a license plate number, and we sure as heck ain't gonna get outta the vehicle and chase 'em on foot in our magnanni loafers.

possible the time in our adult life when we watched the least tv were the late 90s and early 00s. is almost fifteen years o' near zero tv. we complete missed out on the sopranos and the wire. am thinking we saw angel only eventual on tnt. saw deadwood after the fact via dvd releases. the two shows we did watch w/o fail during the early aughts both got cancelled w/o a full +20 episode season: firefly & wonderfalls. work, the gym and games... and a whole lotta reading. am still catching up on tv from that time period-- have been meaning to see the wire. ... the only reason Gromnir were aware o' the pretender is 'cause o' the guy who voiced tno. HA! Good Fun!

You're making an assumption here. This very thread is based on assumptions. Unless you enlighten everyone. perhaps he thinks it's more fun to be smug and mock your ignorance. that ain't an assumption. is simple a statement o' a possibility rather than our guess as to actual motivations. HA! Good Fun!

... "Good way to avoid responding." again, you linked to an article that draws parallels 'tween sjw to fascists and stalinists based on the author's personal experience viewing bad internet behavior o' sjw proponents? the article were incoherent. you didn't even realize that it were complete nonsense. you linked to an article that fails any number logical fallacies, an article written by joshua goldberg which you is still inexplicable trying to defend. HA! Good Fun!

Ive been meaning to watch this too but for some reason my wife gives me the stinkeye every time I think about renting it. Its weird, shes down for any genre but that movie in particular gets her throwing the veto. am not a fan o' tom cruise, but we liked edge of tomorrow. is not exact a resounding endorsement, but... HA! Good Fun!

failed to read article keeps resulting in same fail *Compared to the people who claim to be on “the right side of history” and crusaders for “social justice”, Stormfront is a bastion of kindness and civility. What does that say about you, SJWs, when you make neo-Nazis look positively civilized by comparison?* what does it say? it says nothing as far as logic is concerned. the question mark does not mean that joshua is actually asking a question btw. is an ad hominem. is untrue and ad hominem. and ignore the appeal to authority, false continuum problems is not helping your Non-response. HA! Good Fun!

in the joshua goldberg article? are you serious? am sensing we are at the crux o' the problem. Good way to avoid responding. Give me one or two examples, or stfu. *chuckle* we weren't avoiding, we were incredulous. ad hominem is in abundance. "I have been on the Internet since I was a small child and I have perused some of the most extreme and disturbing corners of the web. I have had personal encounters with every manner of vile cretin – the sorts of people who would make even Charles Manson himself blush." even if some sjw folks has said mean things, how does that show that they is wrong? to dismiss 'cause folks says mean is ad hominem. and suggestion that we take his word 'cause he is a self appointed expert on the intraweb is an appeal to authority. already a couple. we can go on, but is pretty much every paragraph that includes examples o' logic challenged nonsense. he confuses association with causation regularly. and like yourself, he fails to recognize the false continuum at every turn. neo-nazis and sjw is lumped together 'cause they both have identifiable "bad guys" as targets? wahuh? honest, review the following for a start: http://www.theskepticsguide.org/resources/logical-fallacies maybe pick up a copy o' copi. if you really wish, we can start a new thread so you can dissect the article by joshua goldberg and further expose your ignorance. am willing to oblige. HA! Good Fun! edit: apparent we thought it were too much fun as we added our catchphrase 2x. apologies.

in the joshua goldberg article? are you serious? am sensing we are at the crux o' the problem.

God hates the Chargers that may be a reasonable explanation. like every nfl team, the chargers have been hit with key injuries early in this season. am tending to blame the early-season injuries the last couple years on the cba and limits placed on off-season/pre-season conditioning and practice. regardless, the chargers have been hit by injuries, but not more than other teams... such as the vikings. the chargers is just... weird. philip rivers is a great qb just as long as the team is way ahead or has no chance o' winning. in close games, rivers is preternatural likely to make a bonehead mistake. is unnatural. is not as if the chargers is the worstest turnover team in the league, but the timing o' their turnovers is, again, unnatural. if games ended after 3 quarters, the chargers would be a perennial playoff contender, but their 4th quarter collapses is unnatural. chargers need to change the culture o' the team. figure out how to do that w/o firing a coach this early in the season is a tough task... and am not believing that getting a new coach would fix the problems. perhaps god does hate the chargers. am honest at a loss for a better explanation. HA! Good Fun!

am much regretting our bmw suv purchase. am almost constant facing minor-to-major electrical issues that cannot be diagnosed by one such as Gromnir who is baffled by any vehicle w/o a distributor. we would avoid the x3 and/or x5 in the future. HA! Good Fun!

image wod actually used joshua goldberg as a source. he used goldberg as a source After goldberg were revealed to be an internet troll, and basement dwelling schizophrenic. how can any o' his sources surprise? I already explained that I didn't know that when I linked the article. Your continuing to carp on that only shows your level of immaturity. Edit: People afraid to speak their minds on Stalinist campuses: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/grade-point/wp/2016/10/04/afraid-to-speak-up-in-the-era-of-trigger-warnings-a-tenured-professor-stays-silent/?postshare=8661475684224224&tid=ss_fb again, the fact that you didn't bother to check on the source o' an obvious bat crap crazy article is part o' the problem. we had no idea who were joshua goldberg 'til we read the article and were struck by absence o' logic or reason o' your linked source. we checked. you didn't. is a trend. your level o' immaturity is revealed 'cause you ain't learning from your mistakes, as is evident from aluminium's subsequent observations 'bout your sources. just as you didn't learn to actual read linked material or check your sources, you ain't learned 'bout your pattern. immature. you is gonna keep posting non-stalinist examples as long as somebody points out that you post non-stalinist examples when prodded. however, we will concede that we is being immature... but not 'bout goldberg. you still don't recognize your mistake on that point. your immaturity is gonna result in more joshua goldbergs. nope, am admitting that our prodding o' your reflex is immature. if we witnessed a child pulling a dumb animal's tail just to see the beast freak out, we would feel bad for the animal and we would admonish the child. nevertheless, here we are. it is, as we already observed, sad.

gifted and Gromnir may not see eye-to-eye on everything, but we share your displeasure o' time travel. when used for comedic value, time travel is acceptable to us. groundhog day would be a prime example o' time travel-for-laughs which actually worked. the simpson's time travel episode were also kinda amusing. edge of tomorrow is perhaps the only somewhat serious time-travel entertainment from the past couple decades we enjoyed. very little science in their science-fiction mighta helped for edge of tomorrow. yeah, as with all time-travel, suspension o' disbelief becomes strained, but perhaps the willingness to not take time-travel too serious were helpful as we had a few groundhog day moments in edge of tomorrow. ... and as much as we like star trek, the willingness to use time travel is a shortcoming o' the franchise. is actual kinda a tough call for us to decide which were worse for the franchise: time travel or star trek v: the final frontier. as bad as were final frontier, it were only one movie outta many. time travel is the bell that cannot be unwrung. HA! Good Fun!

image wod actually used joshua goldberg as a source. he used goldberg as a source After goldberg were revealed to be an internet troll, and basement dwelling schizophrenic. how can any o' his sources surprise? and am admitting at this point we got no idea what wod means by stalinist, 'cause it don't correspond with any definition we ever learned... lord knows we is baffled by his notion o' what constitutes a stalinist purge. honest, wod responses is stuff we could not invent. regardless, as we noted earlier, now that folks has given wod a hard time 'bout his stalinist misconceptions, he is gonna work stalinism into most o' his posts for the next week. is a pattern. we got a certain morbid curiosity 'bout how long we can keep wod barking out stalinist non-examples, but is already beginning to appear sad rather than funny.

didn't see the movie and am admitting we only got most slim recollection o' apocalypse from the comics. x-men 175 were our last x-men purchase and that were sometime mid 80s. HA! Good Fun!

so, was apocalypse a stalinist? a totalitarian demagogue utilizing cult o' personality and police-state mentality to bring 'bout a radiant future/worker's paradise through brutal means. well, maybe not exactly, but am guessing is far closer than rbg. colossus wasn't in the film, was he? too bad. made out o' living steel. stalin=steel, therefore by transitive property, colossus=stalin. HA! Good Fun!

That's just what a Stalinist would say. am pretty certain that the girl scouts would qualify as stalinist based on wod definition... and not just the evil, tim curry 'girl' scouts. HA! Good Fun!

couldn't get through two episodes o' supergirl. at least a half dozen times in each episode we had to be reminded that supergirl weren't "just a girl." did the writers ease up on the girlpower later in the season? we did like calista flockhart. sure, she were over-the-top, but so were jk simmons' j. jonah jameson HA! Good Fun!

and if you don't believe it, wod can link you to articles written by joshua goldberg. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/11/florida-man-plotted-sept-11-attack-in-kansas-city-fbi-says/ gonna be a long time 'fore the funny wears off o' this one. HA! Good Fun!

and you are not realizing that you just identified the real problem. HA! Good Fun!
