Ukraine conflict

That's what I thought, and I responded accordingly.

Perhaps learn to read more critically. Really, why would any intelligent person think he meant that security was excluding these people.

See, an intelligent person would realize 19 year olds do not have much reason to shop at THD. They do not own homes and are too young to be tradesmen for the most part.

Women generally are found at the garden center. Either to buy things for their own yard or as I once heard, to find single guys who have not just a home but a yard. (Second part half a joke if you are not reading critically.) Women are less likely to shop their as they are more likely to send their husbands or handymen.

That, see, is how to critically read what EB wrote. Just use a little thought. The kind that we keep hearing from the left that college is supposed to train a person to do.

Wow, I guess I was properly chastised.

Excuse me for consigning EB's observations to the dung heap.

Next time I'll follow your advice and search for kernels of wisdom embedded within the excrement.

Thanks!

You really just miss the point. He is talking about who you see there not some kind of policy. Really, you need to get up to speed and get what is being communicated.

I hate when I'm forced to read a post by someone I have blocked. Not only do I not see obese women at Home Depot I rarely see a woman at all except with their husbands and that's usually in the appliances section. In my Home Depot there are also no women working there, it's all men. The cash registers have women but the store does not. I've never seen a teenager, why would they be there. What I mostly see is male contractors and male do-it-yourself guys. I like going in there it's almost like the old hardware stores where you never saw a woman. It's why there used to be so many men-only clubs. Once you add women to the mix it takes everything down three notches. Men can never be themselves as long as there are women around.

I heard the story that there is some men-only bar near me. Set up as a club to have such a policy. Supposedly they even gave the woman with the LCB a hard time about entering, her male partner not so much. I have a hard time buying it as you do not mess with your regulator authority but if she was attempting to enter undercover then yeah.

The sad thing today is too many men do not want to even be part of a men-only group. They do not see the benefits such groups used to have. Women OTOH will flock to female only groups.

I thought EB no longer has observations and totally depends on Scott Adams for all his thinking :-)

If Ukraine survives, we likely attain a long-term ally, which should have strong lasting sense of democratic values, which is pretty valuable.

I think Ukraine will survive
Been 2 months now

The war is in a new phase now, with the change in terrain.

The first part favored defense, ambush due to woods and hills; now operations will be on flat plains for the most part, the way the Nazis had it for the most part when they invaded Russia.

It is a venue perfect for armor.

Let's hope that the artillery and drones we and others are sending, as well as the surprisingly good munitions the Ukrainians mfr. can stem the coming Red Tide.

Also, given that so many Russians are drunks, I wonder whether they get a daily ration of vodka, the way the British sailors once got a ration of grog?

A guy can't shoot straight if he's shaking with the delerium tremens.

Yeah that's what we need another totally corrupt ally. I was listening to a podcast of a taxi driver made in 1989 and he was talking about what it was like growing up in the forties and fifties. How different it was. He said he's Russian and his whole family came here during the Depression. Parents and grandparents. He said all he heard when he was growing up was never trust Russians in government they will always lie to you they will always say one thing and do something else and they will always be completely corrupt. This was in the 80s he was saying this. And look Russia and Ukraine are two of the most corrupt governments in the world. People always get the government they deserve. That's why we have survived so well, because we never let corruption take over completely. Look what's happening right this minute, two corrupt Lefty organizations, Twitter and CNN, have been destroyed. This is a huge victory for free speech and for the United States political system. It's a good day. The organizations they used to steal the 2020 election are slowly being dismantled.

Scott Adams was a taxi driver in 89?

I turned on Cnn; looks like it is still there.
