We agree here. Justice was served.

Text to BillSy: Yes, thank you. Regards, Kyle

I would love to see where I said what you said I said about what you said. I said, quite clearly, that I didn’t follow the thought process you laid out. In civilized conversation, this is often viewed as attempt to understand the perspective of another. The risk of course is that the other party may nor wish to engage in dialogue, may misconstrue the attempt as condescending or hyper-aggressive, may misunderstand the context as offered, or in some cases, flip their lid. Lid, flipped. I read what you wrote, understand that you felt the 10/7 attacks were horrific, and replied as I did. Nothing you’ve shared here changes anything. It happens.

Rumor is it’s because Clarence Thomas is conflicted.

I can’t really follow your thought process here. The innocent victims of the horrors of 10/7–men, women, children, infants deserve no less consideration for the atrocities visited upon them than do victims of the holocaust. The way I look it, if you string together multiple instances of exactly this type of savagery, violence and degradation—and I’d suggest Hamas gleefully embraces just such a plan—it’s not long before hundreds become thousands, thousands become tens of thousands, and tens of thousands become hundreds of thousands. A mentor of mine said one time “Just because someone else eats a bigger **** sandwich than mine doesn’t make mine taste any better.

For the best…you never know what a guy like Joe will say (touch/do) with all those tall women around. Plus, you put “WNBA” on a teleprompter, you gotta be thinking he says “Winbuh” more times than not.

All bonus, I say he folds for the WNBA, leaves the other guy behind 10x out of 10.

I hope the reports are wrong, of course, but to get on the American hostage release list, it helps to be a good basketball player.

That’s a-ok with me. 😇

Assuming this is correct, that there was an omission in the complaint, you believe that indicates this is a frivolous suit?

Yikes—that sounds daunting indeed. Best of luck to you and your family.

I didn't miss anything, Tibsy. I was responding to @sherpa, his comments on Israeli engagement of Hamas, and the reality of war. That made you think of the trials at Nuremberg. I don't know why. When someone speaks of pumpkin pie, I don't immediately think of Thanksgiving, 1947 in Peoria, though pumpkin pie probably was on the menu.

"You guys"? How many people do you think I am? As for your question, no, I think the Nuremberg trials were a natural outcome from the war in Europe. I'm quite certain the process was imperfect, that some scoundrels escaped justice, and others were justly punished in a manner consistent with the times. I'm not sure why a conversation on the Israelis defending themselves from Hamas brought you to the point that Nuremberg popped into your mind. Well, actually, I'm not 100% sure anyways.

It’s as if no history book, ever, addressed the horrors of war (or the potential costs of standing down).

Girl, I've heard you're getting married Heard you're getting married This time you're really sure And this is the end, they say you really mean it This guy's the one that makes you feel So safe, so sane, and so secure And baby, if he loves you more than me Maybe it's the best thing Maybe it's the best thing for you But it's the worst that could happen to me

Obviously @Irv has the final say here, but take the hit on this one. In a twelve word post mocking the intelligence of another poster, you booted “your/you‘re” back to first grade. Next time run with youse, and just say you’re from Utica.

I want to apologize, this is a deadly serious situation. But I can’t help but imagine his handler stating “Günther, wenn der Offizier sich nähert, wird er freundlich sein. Slumen und sich tot stellen.” which roughly translates to, “Everything will be fine, Guenther, the officer will respect you for protesting. Play dead.”. Next thing you know, Guenther is wailing like Mac Jones with an ankle sprain, on X, for all the world to see. That’s funny stuff.

As is usually the case, you’re working on a deeper emotional level. I just figured if you’re gonna be in a group around the table at Thanksgiving and things might get contentious, it’s better when people are easy on the eyes. Btw my son used that phrase “total smoke show” when he was late middle school/early hs. I had to ask if that was good or bad. 😂 My wife was telling me the other day that I was a typical male, swayed by the looks of a character on tv. I thought she seemed nice. My wife thought there was more going on beneath the surface. It took 5 or 6 episodes but damn if she wasn’t right.

Fake Baby Lenny is a big kid. I’m gonna have to have talk to his momma.

Oh gosh. I can only imagine little baby Billsy yelling “SIMP!”, “FREAK” and “SYSZOP” at passersby from the shadow of the trees.

Breaking up with someone simply because they view political issues differently seems like a weird line. With luck—while I personally believe true beauty lies within and I’m against objectification generally—-she’s a total smoke show. @muppy please weigh in. I’m right here, correct?

I’m still waiting to hear a compelling reason to keep this footage from the public. If certain segments reveal overly sensitive areas, or imperil national security, that can be stated clearly.

Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop When it all gets too heavy That's when they come and they go They go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below

I'm indifferent about Musk generally but yeah, his x was pretty bad. Apple is making a powerful statement here, in this specific case, but... Beyond that, I love Apple products and pay the required premium to own them, but I'm not sure what the boycott represents beyond what they likely see as good marketing. The company loves its partnership with China, Saudi Arabi and the like, and partnered with Russia until just recently.

You're perilously close to getting uninvited to my virtual happy Friendsgiving Party, Tibs. Perilously.
