Am type O and mosquitoes always leave me alone if there's others around.

Yeah, I think between the performances of England, Finland, and Norway, security in the North Atlantic is best if the US stays away from Greenland.

Edit: I'm also reminded of a story my New Zealand fri nd told me when he had just joined the Australian Airforce as a foot soldier for base defence.

In preparations for Afghanistan, the US would train in Australia with them. He took out an entire group of marines because "You could hear them a mile away". So there he is only a few months in the forces, walking up to a group of marines to tell them they're all dead, they called in an airstrike a few hundred metres out.

I want to see that hot pursuit in action. A chase through town, at times reaching jogging speeds with no concern for bystanders.

Anyone involved would end up like Snowden or Assange.

I find figure skating commentary is usually the funniest.

"Twizzles...... Twizzles..... Double axel..... Very good..... Twizzles..."

So the Second Amendment is indeed redundant then.

Reservists, no less.

“Exercise commanders had to ask Finnish reservists, the most formidable Arctic warriors, who were playing the role of invaders in the war games, to go easy on the Americans,” the source said. “The Finns had to be told to stop beating the Americans as it was embarrassing and demoralising for them.”

Some snowflakes still melt in the North Atlantic and Arctic.

I don't have either of those things :(

The other NATO nations just kicked the US's arse in the latest war games. But that usually happens.

Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I've never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They're pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

I've driven both sides and there's no difference, it just takes a little to adjust. I prefer a gearstick on the left, though, since my dominant hand is better at micro movements with the wheel and gear shifting is such a basic action. But really, the difference is barely noticeable.

I got neglected by those before me and when I am old I will nbe taking care of those after me.

Being a Millennial rocks.

Since the update, hitting the tick to mark messages as read in the inbox seems to misbehave. It's like it's marking the wrong messages. If I go in a different order, it works, but tapping the comment directs to the wrong posts, assuming of those that were in their slot before marking them off.

Does that make sense? It doesn't make sense. This might need to be a screen recording thing lol...

At 2:20, I catch myself doing these ones...

...and the gif gets in my head. Normally I just bop or gurn. Mmmm gates.

 

I'd encourage you to shut your eyes and listen to the musical talent and amazing lyrics—take them in depth. Then play it again and watch the excellent claymation film clip.

 

May as well have some Greek psychedelic rock from 1972 going solo ham on a religious narrative, right?

 
 
 

I would hope for some of you, this is the first time seeing the C&H Mothman clips.
