I'm underpaid to deal with fucking idiotic faggots.
You're overpaid to fuck up my drive through orders.
Because 2 lane drive thrus are SOOOOOOO NEEDED
If you can't manage two lanes how can you be expected to get anywhere in life?
2 people handle the 2 lanes, just one person in the first window handles the sorting.
Wait, how does that work? Does one person run out the window handing shit to the second lane?
First window is where you hand money, that person in the first window takes a lane and sorts the cars, depending which one goes first and stuff. Second window is where another guy takes the other lane, rarely takes out food, they just do drinks and whatnot.
2-lane drive thrus?

but hey they got to use this
Some piece of shit, poorly assembled semi-auto rifle that'd likely explode in your face? Awesome.
but it was special and that's all that counts
Special in the way that it was especially low quality, sure.
At least it came with all it's parts...
NVA work trousers are known to me missing the right pocket more often than not. There's just a slit... and no pocket.
Well, what're you going to take?
Shitty quality Nazi equipment or shitty ripoffs of Nazi equipment?
The shitty ripoffs. Wehrmact repro shit can cost twice as much as equivalent NVA surplus.
God, that guy is a fucking retard. No idea what that uniform actually stands for.
Any true American wouldn't allow a fellow Patriot to leave the nation for another, so I think the border guard uniform is appropriate.
You have won this thread.

All I'm really aware of about politics is that political parties don't seem to work well, the government seems corrupt as hell, most politicians just seem to want money or power, and we have 2 real sides that shut anyone else out and don't get any progress done.
Syrians were upset that their leader was a dictator and rebellion broke out and they've been dividing into factions of questionable motives and fighting since. Ukraine also rioted and they did overcome their government, the tanks never showed up, but the country divided and Russia was sending troops in support of pro-Russians. That's all I got.
That should be enough for you to talk a lot about what I'm missing, right?
Not American politics. Global politics. Like, international relations, conflicts, why various governments do what they do. American politics are fucking boring as hell.
And there was a lot more to the Syrian conflict than just that. Many other domestic factors played a larger role than "muh ebul dicktatur" in inciting the conflict.There were influences from other conflicts. And that conflict in turn influenced those conflicts again, and now it's a giant Middle Eastern proxy war pitting Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel against Iran and Russia.
Ah, well I understand next to nothing about that recently other than Russia got sanctioned, think their economy dived, and they were trying to show off power or something.
I assumed there was more, but I really am not aware and most new sources tend to seem like shit in some way. Wait, what? Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar are in some cold war with Iran and Russia?
Though the sides aren't that clear-cut, the massive new cold war beef is between Saudi Arabia and Iran. But that brief and massive decrease in oil price was a direct result of that Cold War.
See, that particular conflict isn't so far away and irrelevant now that it affected just about everyone in the US.
But the schools told us it was our savior Obama and the freedom of capitalism that made the prices drop.
Yeah, I really don't see how Saudi Arabia would be teaming up with Israel, even if they both hate Iran. How's Russia coming into this?
This isn't the 70's anymore. Saudi Arabia and Israel actually have passable relations with eachother now. They aren't friends, but they're pretty cool with eachother. Israel and Saudi Arabia both support different rebel factions, since it is in neither of their interests to see Assad anywhere other than 6 feet below the ground or a prison.
Russia comes into play since they have had great relations with the Assad regime since the 70's back when Hafiz was in power, and they are trying to preserve whatever soft power and influence they have left in the world, so they make natural allies with Iran (who is protecting Assad to the point where they have active troops deployed in Syria). Russia also has had very close trade relations with Syria saying that they've been the primary supplier of their weapons for 50 years, and they want to keep things that way.
Politics aren't so boring now, are they?
Yeah, learning that there actually have been things happening in the world since the Berlin Wall fell besides the wars in Iraq is something you do not learn in American schools.
Got any good news sites you use? I despise the majority of the media so I don't tend to learn much aside from secondhand info from conversations.
For more general news, I use Britbong sources (mainly BBC, Dailymail, and Independent)
For Middle East-related news, I go on /r/syriancivilwar (possibly the most intelligent reddit in existence), Al-Monitor (Arab-American), and Dailystar (Lebanese)
And if you're in the mood for some comedy, go onto PressTV (Iran) or Sputnik News (Russia).
I thought Dailymail was a joke?
It's my least-seen source out of the Britbong sources I look at.

Add Vice onto that list though their translations have been shit and maybe trying to figure out the mess in r/Ukrainian Conflict. That sub is a mess, but sometimes you can figure something out from some of the different sources being put up.
Good point. How the fuck does VICE even get into half the places they do. I mean, they were reporting on the frontline from the fucking Islamic State side!! And they can waltz into Kurdish cantons, Rebel, and Government lines like it's nothing. r/UkrainianConflict is a clusterfuck, but you can find your occasional gold through the mess. Shockingly, r/UkrainianConflict is still better than most of Reddit!!! Do you post on r/syriancivilwar or r/UkrainianConflict?

Just so you know the SAA has taken ground against ISIS, basically as Daesh is retreating the YPG and SAA have been running to different cities to lay claim to them. And mainly crushing small Daesh resistance. ISIS is more or less dead now.
In Iraq they will fall, in Syria well they will be destroyed by both rebels and SAA.
Why?
Well Deir-e-Azor is the greatest example of the SAA holding of and beating the Daesh forces, while in the east in places like Aleppo, the rebel factions have grown stronger and more let me say effective. Nusra has been leading charges and making progress though in some places it has been the other way around. While IF has become quite strong and has not really shown it's true strength. Ahrar Al Sham i believe is one of the groups that has one of the most effective groups.
As far as i know Daesh is dead especially with the hit squads hunting their leadership and the dismantling of their whole doctrine. The real fight i see right now is between the IF and it's allies and SAA and it's allies. YPG and the Kurds for now are not facing the heat but if things cool down and SAA finishes the encirclement of Aleppo which has had many setbacks recently, they could face some heat.
Eh, if this were last month, I'd say that the siege of Aleppo would have been inevitable, but now it's really not looking so hot for them. Unless the Iranians intervene (again), deSyracuse's prediction of Aleppo being under siege by June is going to be smashed back into Sheikh Najjar.
Though I do agree that IS is going nowhere. Their organization is starting to tear itself to shreds whether it's from internal divisions, or massive amounts of infiltrators. I don't think they've really gained ground anywhere since November.
Ahrar al-Sham does have some rumors circulating around it that they're next in the USA's sights after IS and JaN, so there's some bad news. Do you know if any of the rumors of JaN leaving al-Qaeda have any amount of truth as well? I've seen nothing but extremely conflicting reports.
Well first point is yeah, the Aleppo encirclement was a failure, but there is still expectations something may happen in the future. I feel like if the East and Deir-e-Azor open up and the pressure is released from there the Golden Brigade may be shifted to Aleppo. There has been a move if i remember correctly of troops to the Aleppo area as well as a surge of Hezbollah soldiers.
For me the biggest question is has there been an increase or surge of troops in and around Aleppo and if so is there a new offensive on the horizon. Also could the Rebels make the same mistake and push too far too fast thus not reinforcing their positions and getting caught off guard if a new offensive begins. Another issue is that the recent failure can also be attributed to the absence of air support, so could the next time around, when the counter-counter-offensive begins could the air power change the game and solidify results.
Right now fighting for Baskouy village:
Latest Map:
Link
Last i heard was that all reports of Nusra leaving Al-Qaeda has been false. That is the official statement so far.
Anyway 12 at night here will talk tomorrow.
Oh, of course the video broke out into fucking nasheeds less than halfway through... It really does seem like the SAA's last hope for encircling Aleppo by June 2015 is by letting the rebels overextend themselves, and then attack them while they're weak. But the SAA is doing the stupid thing and trying to fight for every inch of ground, which is just bleeding themselves out. What I find funny about that map is that it was made by an IS-supporter. Should that guy even be trusted on account of what his obvious slant is. I'm not saying we should all be using Peto Lucem's maps, but why the fuck do all of the Aleppo map have to be so goddamn biased. Fuck, I think that a pro-IS map would be the most reliable since the only fighting in the Aleppo front are the Rebels and the Government.

but hey they got to use this
Some piece of shit, poorly assembled semi-auto rifle that'd likely explode in your face? Awesome.
but it was special and that's all that counts
Special in the way that it was especially low quality, sure.
At least it came with all it's parts...
NVA work trousers are known to me missing the right pocket more often than not. There's just a slit... and no pocket.
Well, what're you going to take?
Shitty quality Nazi equipment or shitty ripoffs of Nazi equipment?
The shitty ripoffs. Wehrmact repro shit can cost twice as much as equivalent NVA surplus.
God, that guy is a fucking retard. No idea what that uniform actually stands for.

Well, yeah. There's a great deal more interest in authentic wwII equipment/relics than there is in old NVA equipment.
wwII ended 70 years ago while NVA disbanded 25 years ago.

Mosin Nagant - Lol it's still being used all over the world
Shit loads of SVD clones
Russia is still pumping out millions of rounds of this shit a year. There are probably billions of rounds sitting in warehouses all over the world.
It's not going away and it's still being used.
FUUUCKK Forgot about all of those Machine Guns still in active service.... Then there is VERY much interest in continuing manufacturing those rounds.

Nobody gives a shit. Guns shouldn't even be allowed to be possessed by civilians unless they have them for hunting or are members of some shooting club.
And no, there isn't some grand Illuminati conspiracy involved with gun control.
I'm going to post a pic of my guns. I hope you enjoy them.
I bet that 100 54x7.62mm rounds for that Nagant are more expensive than the Nagant itself.
And K.
>54x7.62mm
lol
Actually, they aren't. 440 rounds of 7.62x54r is cheaper than the rifle. 880 rounds is approaching the total price.

Syrians were upset that their leader was a dictator and rebellion broke out and they've been dividing into factions of questionable motives and fighting since. Ukraine also rioted and they did overcome their government, the tanks never showed up, but the country divided and Russia was sending troops in support of pro-Russians. That's all I got.
That should be enough for you to talk a lot about what I'm missing, right?
Not American politics. Global politics. Like, international relations, conflicts, why various governments do what they do. Hell, even mocking retarded neo-Nazi groups is good enough for me. American politics are fucking boring as hell. And there was a lot more to the Syrian conflict than just that. Many other domestic factors played a larger role than "muh ebul dicktatur" in inciting the conflict.There were influences from other conflicts. And that conflict in turn influenced those conflicts again, and now it's a giant Middle Eastern proxy war pitting Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel against Iran and Russia.

Nobody gives a shit. Guns shouldn't even be allowed to be possessed by civilians unless they have them for hunting or are members of some shooting club.
And no, there isn't some grand Illuminati conspiracy involved with gun control.

You could catch me up on the Syrian civil war.
You better have pretty big ears, since I obviously have a lot to say about that. Until how recently have you been informed?
Umm... maybe November.Last I checked, Kurds were kicking ass in the very north, There was an assault on Aleppo by Assad? and... Al Nursa had basically no ground.
Also, How's Ukraine?
Kurds continued kicking ass, they kicked IS out of Kobane, and now they've retaken the vast majority of Kobane canton, and are still rapidly advancing. The Kurds and SAA/NDF (mostly the Kurds though) also took a look of ground in Cizire canton, and have now linked the western and eastern portions of it. The SAA indeed launched a (failed) offensive against the rebels north of Aleppo. They got pretty damn near breaking the siege on Nubl and Zahra (and 40 SAA troops even managed to reach those two cities) which have been under siege by the rebels for 2 years. Though they managed to hold those positions for barely a day before the rebels managed to counterattack in force, and push the SAA back even behind to where they were before the offensive. And now everything west of Aleppo Central Prison is under risk of being retaken by the rebels. Hell, the SAA even managed to have Aleppo under total siege for a few days with that offensive, but now they have been set back by months. Here's a map. Al-Nusra has adopted the tactic IS has been using before they declared all-out war with the rest of the rebels. Where they co-operate with some of them in some areas, and the seize the land from weaker factions. They've been playing that game since November, and now they have partial or total control of over 50% of Idlib Governorate. So they do have a good deal of land. Possibly more than any of the other rebel groups barring IS. And with Ukraine, it's been a stalemate. Debaltsve was taken by the rebels, but the ceasefire is largely holding. Better than Minsk I at least.

You have legs right?
Go take a fucking walk.
Or, alternatively, if you have a vehicle, get in and do late night loser laps around your town.
Hmm, decent idea. I'll do that if nobody else gives me a better idea. But on the other hand, I am living in the US, and there have been cases of people just being gunned down in the middle of the street in night where I live. Not meaning I won't take a walk though.
Get in your armoured vehicle and do loser laps then.
Lol. Fuck it, I'll just go on a walk...

Not interested.
Watchmen?
Here's a hint. I'm not a big moviegoer.
