Stupid Fucking News Shit

[Der Fuhrer]

Nevermind.

The guy is such a dumbass. His wife divorcing him should have been the greatest moment of his life. He was obviously wealthy (and would still be after the spilt due to his wife being a partner at a law firm). He was also retired. Why do something so completely fucked up? Why not just take your money, move down somewhere warm where prosititution is legal, get drunk, do drugs, and bang a bunch of latina whores? People are so dumb.

[Orgazmo]

Fully agreed.

New details have emerged saying his wife was hooking up with a dude at the old law firm and his "shots in the air" were actually shots toward that building.

Either way, it doesn't sound like his life was that bad. It's not like he got caught raping kids or something. His wife was fucking around. Big deal, pal. Pick up the pieces and move on.

[Der Fuhrer]

This might not have anything to do with it, but I did feel like the statement issued by the law firm was really gushy. When I read it, I almost immediately thought, "I wonder if she was fucking another partner at the firm?" Perhaps it's completely unrelated, but those were my thoughts.

Motherfucking Der Fuhrer did it again. He made a post, somebody replied in response and he edited out what said 12 hours later. Ban this motherfucker NOW.

[Der Fuhrer]

It's ridiculous how little you have to contribute to this forum that you resort to nitpicking at the most trivial shit.

If you must know why I edited it, it was because I mispelled divorce. I made the post with haste, and when I re-read it later, the spelling error was sticking out like a sore thumb. I was compelled to correct it. Go fuck yourself f3lix. I will edit any post whenever I feel like it. Right now, just to piss you off, I may go back and edit a post from 2 years ago, so fuck you.


f3lix lets random guys cum on his face for cheeseburgers.

[Orgazmo]

I can confirm that he only changed the spelling of "devorce" in his edit, but an astute observation, f3lix. I very rarely note the "edited by" tag.

[Ugly Bastard]

Did you really edit a post 12 hours later for a spelling mistake? And I thought I was narcissistic.

For real, if I ever got caught who knows what I'd do.

I always edit a post that I read later to find a spelling mistake...which happens quite a bit.

This story is pretty cool. The guy is not considered to be a strong prospect because he can't reach 90 with a fastball, but his numbers in single-A were very good and he just got promoted to double-A.

I don't know if anyone else follows this stuff. Most of what I've read has been in the NYT, which seems to have had political axes to grind in the topic. But the stories coming out of the mexican drug wars are straight out of hollywood. Rival drug cartels, supermodel trophy wives, corrupt cops... there is a well-known pack of crooked ex-black-ops thugs called the Zetas that controls half the cities. It's ridiculous. Anyway here is the Mexican Drug Cartel Story of the Day

Yea, Mexico is, rightly, considering basically just legalizing drugs to get rid of what is an army that is better than there's on some levels.

Warning, I'm about to rant.

This is so cool. I don't know if it's already clear, but I'm a nerd and eat this shit up. I think it's a total tragedy that space exploration has been so neglected. We were on the moon 40 fucking years ago! And we can't go back. It's obscene. I mean I get it, I get it, it's expensive and there's nothing UP there, so why go up? Because it's fucking cool as shit. I mean it's the type of thing we should be doing, as a human race, right?

I mean 40 years! We put a man on the moon when people still used punchcards instead of computers. There's really been no scientific progress that might help make this easier? Drives me crazy.

And again, I get the logic. The biggest cost is the fuel, yadda yadda, but come on scientists, get to work!

I actually really like the Obama plan for NASA, basically put it in the hands of industry. I mean if somethingawful can build a submarine and a simple rocket, I have full faith in Richard Branson to get us to the moon. Now Boeing just jumped in. Compete you fuckers, and get us in space.

The cool thing.... the really, really, mindblowing cool thing, is there is a decent chance that I get to go to space in my life. Like it's not PROBABLE, but maybe there's a... I don't know, 10% chance? FUCKING SPACE DUDE!

[Der Fuhrer]

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Star Trek: Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to seek out new life and new civilizations-to boldly go where no man has gone before.

Space is fucking awesome, and astronomy was always one of my favorite science subjects. I think saying that the human race (America) has shown no progress in space exploration in the past 40 years is a bit harsh. We have sent probes all the way to Mars and beyond. We have satellites that can nearly make it to the end of our solar system, we have a telescope that can see things billions of miles away, and we have a fucking space station. I believe the development I listed last has the most potential. It is possible that this resource is being vastly under-utilized. You're right-space exploration is super expensive, and the amount of fuel needed is enormous. But what part of flying a rocket consumes the most fuel? Well, take off and launching does. Why does that use the most fuel? Well because gravity is a bitch (in this respect). If we could build the actual rocket ship AT the space station and launch it from there, think of the fuel that could be saved.

I believe there are two resources that are vastly under exploited and virtually unexplored-space and the ocean floor. Each is most likely rich in resources-one being less expensive to explore with a finite amount of resources, the other with an infinite amount of resources but nearly infinitely more expensive to explore and capture.

I firmly believe that life on Earth will end one day. Be it in the not-so-distant future from global warming (won't happen), a meteorite smashing into the earth (plausible), or in the very distant future from the sun turning into a black hole (definite). The only way for the human race to achieve immortality is to find another habitable planet to continue our civilizations. Space exploration should be a top priority, and plus it's fucking cool. We sure don't want the god damn Russians to make the next biggest leap forward (lol).

[Repugnant Abomination]

Space is unimpressive.

[Mr. Blonde]

Hey guys, there's a thread for this ftr.

Space research would get a lot fucking cheaper if we would get to work on a goddamn space elevator.

A couple things Der Fuhrer got wrong (as usual), firstly in focusing entirely too much on the concept of global warming and not the plethora of other human activities that could seriously fuck up the human population on Earth, like pollution and subsequent poisoning of necessary resources, land degradation, possible negative effects of GM foods and disease treatments, and nuclear war.

Secondly, it's not a "definite" or even probable event that our sun will turn into a black hole. It will expand, swallow the Earth, and then turn into a white dwarf.

Also, while human life may and probably will die out, on a planet where so much Life thrives it would be extremely unlikely for all of it to perish. I often wonder what kind of new sentient organisms would arise 100MA years after humans hypothetically go extinct. Cat people? In Mistoffolee's dreams.

On this we can mostly agree, but it's definitely not the "only way" -- Before we colonize other planets, we need to achieve sustainability on ours first, something you believe we don't need to worry about, even though practically the entire scientific community disagrees with you.

Remember, "immortality" is relative, especially in an ever-expanding universe. Humans have only been around for about 200,000 years, we've been "smart" for about 10,000, and been technologically advanced for, what...maybe 100 years? Regardless, on a geological and universal scale, this is smaller than a blip. We still have 5 billion more years
before the Sun swallows us up and the more technologically advanced we get the better chance we have at destroying or at least diverting an asteroid before it hits us.

I personally feel we shouldn't step foot on another planet till we have our shit pretty much together here on Earth, and we're far from it. Otherwise we're just going to infinitely repeat the same mistakes. Before this can happen, we need to achieve A LOT more technologically, starting by getting the fuck off of fossil fuels and harnessing as much solar power as we can -- the power of the Sun we can theoretically take advantage of on the surface of the Earth is astounding.

All that shit aside, we're not going to be leaving our solar system on a manned mission for a LONG, LONG time -- the closest star system is Alpha Centauri and it's about 25.8 trillion miles miles away from the Sun. Even if we do figure out how to travel at 99.9% of light speed, I don't even want to imagine the political and social clusterfuck that would be involved with sending a colony 5 years into unknown space. (of course we'd probably have sent unmanned missions by then.)

While it's unrealistic and almost entirely science fiction (now, anyways -- remember, a lot of current devices used to be science fiction) i'm a big fan of the concepts of terraforming and Dyson spheres. We should harness our full solar system's potential before going elsewhere!

[Der Fuhrer]

Blonde, I didn't read your post. Do you know why? Because after mexi-skimming it, I realized that it was just you being a nit-picky little bitch. When stars die they either go super nova or collapse into a black hole. What I basically meant, is that one day the sun will die out

[Mr. Blonde]

Whatever you say, chief. Just another example of you ignoring whenever you're wrong.

I always thought that a star had to have a mass a LOT heavier than the sun for it to become a black hole, and that the sun would become a white dwarf?

[Der Fuhrer]

My last astronomy class was about about 6 years ago, so I obviously don't know exactly what the fuck I'm talking about. Plus I was drinking a lot back then. Basically my only point, before Blonde had to act like a bitch, was that the sun will cease to continue to support life on Earth one day. I used the black hole as a generic example.

I follow all of this stuff pretty closely. One of the sites that I read daily is Borderland Beat

their info is updated frequently and is very good. Crazy pics on there of the violence.
