The asymmetry of the value placed on human life is so striking. Israel has a goal to recover 40-year-old remains; to do so, it invades a sovereign country, and the lives of 26 Lebanese are an afterthought. Their names not even worth printing in the New York Times.
Overwhelming Aegis AD ships by spamming EVERYTHING you have at a choke point seems kinda obvious I would think.
So how we go to a counter value target war
Yeah that was a huge loss
Rob Lee is the only one over there I pay attention to now
Yep.
Ooohhh that's good
Hi, speaking as someone who has been in a military unit that had hazing:

Agree
That's one hell of an assumption on your part
There’s a lot going on but this is seriously 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
The Counselor
I like Cormac McCarthy. I like Ridley Scott.

Revenge of the Nerds when I was 16 in 1983: Hilarious
Revenge of the Nerds now: OMG this is fucked up and they should be in jail
Rare 80s teen comedy that still holds up: Real Genius.
The semester finals freak out scene still slaps hard and you laugh and wince equally.
The DiCaprio and Claire Danes version is still quite good
Ya think?
