fatpacks dooms 24/7 here for over a year and nothing happens but annoys Null once and gets banned in like five seconds.
Null will tolerate shit talking and annoyances, it's when you start shit talking the things he cares and is passionate about is when you get kneecapped.
 
I swear I've seen a hundred cribbage boards sitting around in various waiting areas and game closets but I've never once seen actual people playing it.
I swear I'm the only person under 70 years old who knows how to play it. I only know because I used to visit old folks homes to make little old ladies happy, and not in a @The Last Stand kinda way. It's a fun game once you understand the billion little rules.

Edit: I just looked up "Cribbage Explained" on jewtube and every comment on every video is 'I don't get it' so really it's the perfect game for him.

you can dominate anything if you have the numbers to change the definition of
And then there was the peculiar Brit cultural obsession with something called “sport,”
2 Which always involved lots of oddly dressed Brits doing something incomprehensible on a playing field,
3 And never getting upset when they lost,
4 Whether they lost at cricket,
5 Or rugby,
6 Or football,
7 Or polo,
8 Or golf,
9 Or anything else,
10 Except wars, of course,
11 Because Brits never lose wars,
12 Which maybe explains why they were always such a good sport in any contest where world dominion wasn’t on the line,
13 And maybe also explains why nobody else has ever understood the Brit definition of fair play,
14 Since it seems to occur only when there are no foreigners on the field,
15 In games that nobody but Brits want to play.

Argentina consumes more beef per capita than any other country
They also make some pretty amazing wine. Sadly they don't actually drink it. The Malbecs that Argentina exports are fantastic and I find them, on average, better than French Malbecs. However the wine that Argentinians drink themselves is usually terrible swill that isn't fit for human consumption. I got on a Malbec kick after drinking bottle after bottle of the stuff they export and figured to myself that the table wine the average Argie drinks must be incredible is this was the level of the stuff they where selling out of country. So I ended up buying a bunch of bottles of the most widely consumed wines in Argentina and they were terrible.

I got a feeling a lot of things in Argentina are like that. The good stuff gets sold out of country and the locals have to settle for what is left.

Big recomend on Asado Malbec. Goes amazingly with smoked brisket or pulled pork. Also pretty consistent across vintages. I have drank every year from 2019 to 2025 and they didn't have very much variation.

Why don’t you teach me so I could up my game.
 
I think so, I'm afraid

I'm about 60/40 on Trump's policies overall, and I like to find balanced sources and opinions on things, but it's just a bunch of seething over there lmao

This thread is a lot more pro-Trump than I am in general, but I can at least get interesting news tidbits and effort posts here once I sift past the biases of some users
It could literally be a 10/90 on his policies and I'd still be obligated to admit "it's better than what we'd had before".

How is "kosher" even still a thing? Haven't jews pilpul'ed away practically every inconvenience in the Torah with silly rules and counter-rules followed by rules-lawyering to fool their god so they can break all his rules by now?
They can do anything when it's through a hole in a sheet.
