Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

(You basically asked for this and I wouldnt never let you down!)

If so then why do they insist on driving in it?

I learned to drive in New York. I know how to drive in snow but in Seattle I wouldn't even try due to all the idiots atempting to drive.

I have to admit that anything like 4" and the only thing on the road is skiers.

We had a few inches of snow at the beach here last week, only happens once every few years. Stuck around for a couple of days too, was pretty nice.

Yea, that was kinda interesting, my family on the NC coast got more snow than we did in the mountains and we got wrecked by a hurricane this year in the mountains while they got none. Role reversal.

Yep we grew up in NC mountains and moved to the coast. I still can't imagine what you guys went through up there, was a really rough year weather wise.

TW: political post

Faced with the ultimatum of "get your border under control or face tariffs", my country decided to enter a tariff war with the United States.

Ab-so-***-lute-ly wonderful.


Yes, I hate this, there are no winners.

And for some absolutely childish ***, British Columbia's premier (the equivalent of a state governor) has told their province to "stop buying liquor from red states". I wish I was kidding.

Bout to start imposing tariffs on posting here, I swear!

Are you trying to Make Asura Great Again?

No, I haven't played on Asura since Twilight Scythe's special effect was just on the scythe full time.

I play on Bahamut now, and get carried by Jet's LS.

Oh good choice, Asura sucks

Maybe I'll see you next free login campaign lol

I put a trigger warning

so that makes it ok

Yea, the snow and sub-freezing temps were...not welcome. When a house sustains a certain amount of damage, the city comes in with the power company and removes the power box. They did this to my dad's house, which left it without heat. The freezing temps froze the pipes and they cracked. Not much you can do with half the house ripped apart, the water was off but now they have to rip open more of the house to replace the damaged pipes. That's after the tarp on the roof collapsed and dumped rainwater in the house twice post-Helene and flooded the basement, it held up the snow fine thankfully.

That's first world problems considering folks living in tents and trailers, thankfully FEMA extended the funding for hotel stays until May as it was set to expire in the middle of the snow event. We also know folks whose land has been determined to be unbuildable again, which apparently is an increasingly common event in some towns. There's just nowhere for some of these people to live.

I grew up going to Oak Island pretty often, in the 90s the eastern part of the state got hit by hurricanes constantly, hence the Carolina Hurricanes. I used to have one of those dumb 'I survived Hurricane Fran' shirts people sold in the aftermath of that mess, we had a ton of damage and we were pretty far inland from that one. Seemed like every year we had at least one or two. It seems most of that shifted further south, though..

Luka to the Lakers? What?

the most shocking trade in any sport, ever.

Patrick Roy to the Avalanche
Gretz to the Kings
Babe Ruth to the Yankees

NBA only?
Chamberlain to Lakers
Harden to Rockets
Shaq to Miami

Not even top 3 in its own sport, let alone "any sport"

Another Viciouss flub.

yeah it's pretty yikes at this point. I'm bem-baressed for Mexico, Canada, and the USA.

Making me imagine 100 years down the road with all of these isolationist countries struggling and barely surviving like north korea or something, as the cost for this behavior. Or if a sustainable solution will be found without countries being stuck in severe poverty endlessly. We have the potential to overcome as a species for sure.

Will be a great chance to learn from the situation as a civilization though, given how unique the stance and situation of this continent has been for so long with it's economies and thriving thus far.

Humanity can be very interesting at times.

Lmao. This was funny, thanks. First of all, hockey struggles to generate any kind of news. Americans tuned that sport out well over a decade ago and before that it had always been the 4th of 4 major sports. Not even going to waste my time with 90s deals.

Second, the Babe Ruth trade wasn't surprising at all. The Red Sox were flat broke and he was their most valuable asset. They literally traded him for cash.

Moving on, Wilt Chamberlain and James Harden both asked out. Chamberlain was done losing to the Celtics and his coach had already left the team. Not shocking. James Harden wanted to be the man and he was never going to be that guy while on a team with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. He turned down an extension and the writing was on the wall. Not shocking.

And Shaq??? He was openly feuding with Kobe Bryant. A divorce was coming and everyone knew the Lakers were siding with Kobe. These were all completely expected moves.

The trade tonight came out of nowhere, the reporter's account being hacked was trending because no one expected it. Even the players involved were blindsided. No one knew this was happening until an hour after it happened because no one believed the reporting.

Thats a good idea.

I can help you by sharing the profits.

no sniffing the panties!!!

People in this forum are known for not properly wash their butts, so yeah, no sniffing underwear here.

Its not healthy

And is Luka in his prime?

It's a pretty wild trade because it kind of makes both teams worse.

Like, Kyrie+AD is not a "win now" team. Much like the Belichick coaching tree, LeBron's Sidekicks only work out if they're paired with the man himself.

And LeBron+Luka, eh? Are there going to be two basketballs on the court now? They're both EXTREMELY ball-dominant; it doesn't matter how great they are individually, they do not play compatible basketball. Like, unless LeBron has decided he wants to see if he can average fifty assists a game I don't get how this is going to work.

Only team that wins here is the Jazz. Good for you, Danny.

Luka and Kyrie worked pretty well together, and Lebron can't carry a team to the finals at 40 on his own.

Just that trading AD leaves the Lakers really short of big men and centers.

I'm more surprised Luka wanted to leave, what with already being a team mate to a future HaF.

If Kyrie is playing up to his potential and AD is healthy, the Mavs can make another deep playoff run. They got a lot better defensively. The Lakers are dead in the water, so much that I think Lebron might ask for a trade. He has a NTC so he can handpick his next team. If I am a Mavs fan though, I am quitting the team.

Isn't there a sportsball forum around this site somewhere?

Mrs Chatty wants to censor us!

We must protect our democracy!

Explain this in Horizon terms

What if the HORNIEST sex pest on the site, like, a generational talent, got traded to Catseye for someone who's good at forming cliques but not like, the GOAT at them.

Both teams lose a little of their identity and are worse off for it.

Am I getting this right?

Can never hate sportsball discussion too much. Do you know how many times a sportsball initiated student got the teacher in nuke school to start talking about Basketball instead of his personal life?

Praise be unto sportsball for being able to distract instructors.

Dude took a 116m dollar loss getting traded.
