Quote from: Uberhaus on October 26, 2023, 03:35:29 PMThumbs down, I guess. 

Thumbs to the side actually.

Despite modern takes, thumbs up was the neutral position.

Thumb down meant bury your sword in the dirt and spare the opponent.

Thumbs side meant kill, which survived in the gesture lexicon as the throat cutting motion.

White House National Security spokesperson John Kirby has confirmed the reports of mutiny among Russian troops around Avdiivka.  However, he also confirmed that the Russians have begun immediate execution of any soldiers refusing orders to assault.

A War of a Madman's Making - a text-based war planning and political survival RPG

It makes no difference what men think of war, said the judge.  War endures.  As well ask men what they think of stone.  War was always here.  Before man was, war waited for him.  The ultimate trade awaiting its ultimate practitioner.  That is the way it was and will be.  That way and not some other way.
- Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian


If they made nothing but WWII games, I'd be perfectly content.  Hypothetical matchups from alternate history 1980s, asymmetrical US-bashes-some-3rd world guerillas, or minor wars between Upper Bumblescum and outer Kaboomistan hold no appeal for me.

I guess it's sort of nice that the word "tactical" seems to refer to some kind of seriousness during your moments of mental clarity.

I had read that he had a heart attack last week but didnt bother with it for all the obvious reasons.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

The sources claiming Putin is dead are very, very dubious.

Was and were aren't pronouns though, they're past-tense verbs.   :nono2:

Dunno which thread this really belongs in, but in further hypocrisy news check out these pro-Palestine protests in Russia.   :uglystupid2:
