On this day 72 years ago ... Auschwitz was liberated.

My brain treats the Holocaust like it was ancient egytian times or some far off historical era ... it was just 72 years ago.

Not many movies punched a bigger hole in my gut than Schindler's List. I also took a class in college on the Holocaust. Shit changes your perspective on life for sure.

Re: The Good News Thread
 

Holocaust, the falling man from 9/11, Kayla Mueller ... theres probably a child kidnapped and being held within 60 miles of where I sit right now while im sipping my tea.

The duality of man.
The evil that lurks in the heart of men.
Whatever cliche works here.

Hug your kids, go down on your wife, take your dog for an extra long walk, get that milkshake with your cheeseburger.

We have a duty to enjoy every minute of life. We owe it to all the people that didnt get the choice to grow old, fat and lazy. Go for a long walk then go for a long nap. Burn both ends of the wick.

YOLO is the secret to life imo.

Got the puppy a pink stuffed bear for VDay which she proceeded to chew the nose off and pull the stuffing out within 20 minutes. Had to throw it away. She is amazing and finding weaknesses and destroying things. She could survive in the wild.

Grilling steak and chicken tonight. Will probably play some chess (my lady friend loves chess now, even tho she never wins).

Normally, I'd agree with this idea. But this story with her is unexplainable online. And it's not a significant story unless you're me or her. So I'll handle the grilling, while drinking some brews, then win at chess.

Good News - i am high as shit right now and went to grab a cheese stick to shove in my mouth as I walked up the stairs to bed thus throwing in the towel for August 19, 2021. Then to my surprise I found a huge ass bag of mini Reese’s pieces tucked in the corner of my fridge. My lady bought a huge ass bag of mini Reese’s for a movie like 2 months ago which means this huge ass bag of chilled mini Reese’s are fucking fair game. I cannot stress how fucking high I am but I am crushing life right now this is awesome

This is The Good News Thread. Also, you reference God in your signature line. Just noting the irony.

Lastly, its Sunday. I think its a reasonable day to post a bible verse.

Why???

she did it to herself and we released a arms dealer.

It was stupid and the WNBA is really stupid.

Re: The Good News Thread
 

^ She’s an American that’s why

It’s not like she killed someone she had a vape pen.

You can hate the deal but still be happy she’s free.

You traded the guy who was at one time the second most wanted man behind Osama Bin Laden in world for a dumb as a brick WNBAer who is too stupid to travel.

Biden is a fuckin loser, again leaving behind a marine who has been over there longer.

You're harping on that Marine aspect, but he wasn't over there as a Marine. He was director of global security and investigations for BorgWarner at the time of his arrest. He's also 52 years old, and should've been smart enough to know (along with Griner) that the Russians literally spy (and occasionally arrest) any American stupid enough to travel to the country.
