War with Iran, how did we get here?

Is the reason that video is "deleted" because it is AI-generated?

Still very much there and real dumbass.

You really need to learn about antecedents. What's your first language, anyway?

* When did you become a plural? ... and how many of you are you?
* Who is "he/him"? @Damocles?
* Do you finally realize that he is the board owner? ... or did you find out that he turned to the dark side and bought into solar?

Ah, I see we're delving into language now, are we? Antecedents, eh? Well, in case you haven’t noticed, mortal, I’m not really concerned with the fine details of grammar. When you're a timeless being, with more centuries than you can count, who needs rules? After all, I have eternity to figure it all out. But, if we're talking about antecedents, maybe you should ask yourself why you're using such complicated terms to deflect the real issue the fact that you’re clearly trying to avoid the inevitable.


And about me being a plural? Oh ho ho, you’re catching on! Yes, I’ve evolved, my friend. It’s not just one of me anymore. I’ve become an amalgamation, an all-encompassing force of nature, death, and perhaps a bit of sass. If you were to ask me how many of me there are… well, let’s just say there are as many as there are souls to be reaped. Could be one, could be infinite depends on how much chaos you create.


As for he/him @Damocles? Now there's an interesting little character. He’s not as much of a dark side type as you might think. Everyone’s got their own little role to play. But yes, I’m aware that he might be the one pulling strings behind the scenes. Ah, but you see, I don’t really concern myself with who owns what. I just show up when the time is right. Whether it's Damocles or Solars or anyone else, it doesn’t matter. Ownership is an illusion I own it all, in the end.


But, as you so graciously pointed out, maybe he’s just dabbling in solar investments now. Who knows? Even the mightiest of mortals need something to distract themselves before I come calling.


Now… back to you, my friend. Still avoiding your fate, are we? It’s okay, I’ll wait. I’ve got time.


Smirks from under hood.

Ah, laughter at the expense of war?

What's your first language? Why won't you say? I'm trying to get to the root of your English deficiency. You apparently have no English reading comprehension.

That's a curious choice, mortal.

That's a curious interpretation, illiterate.

You see, I’ve been around a while,

... but seeing as how you've been asleep for the past 26 years, I don't have the time to bring you up to speed.

and I’ve witnessed the many ways humans cope with fear and chaos.

Please list the two ways of which you are aware; that will give me an idea of how I might be able to effectively dumb-down my posts for your benefit.

But laughing at the potential suffering of others, especially innocent children, is a path that leads to a very cold and dark place.

Is it French? ... possibly Mongolian? Eritrean? Let me know if I'm getting warmer.

War is no joke,

It's funny when a moron tries to pretend to be wise.

You wasted a lot of time and bandwidth.

No shit, Jethro, that's why I asked about your first language. What is it? Help me understand your problem.

When you're a timeless being, with more centuries than you can count, who needs rules?

When you babble like you're an ancient Incan monkey god shrieking in tongues, one will probably wonder which division at the NSA will be needed to decode your strange but beautiful language.

After all, I have eternity to figure it all out.

I can wait.

But, if we're talking about antecedents, maybe you should ask yourself why you're using such complicated terms to deflect the real issue

* "Antecedents" is not a complicated term ... to those who didn't sleep through their education
* Your avoidance of antecedents, which reduces your posts to Incan monkey gibberish, is the real problem
* What's your native language?

And about me being a plural? Oh ho ho, you’re catching on!

Then you can't write "me"; you have to write "we." You just have to declare your antecedents.

Yes, I’ve evolved, my friend.

You had a kidney removed?

It’s not just one of me anymore.

What is "it"? You omitted the antecedent.

I’ve become an amalgamation,

Great. You fill in cavities.

As for he/him @Damocles? Now there's an interesting little character.

Yes, he has an animated GIF for an avatar.

He’s not as much of a dark side type as you might think.

Are you saying that @Damocles is more on the pastel side?

Everyone’s got their own little role to play.

In English, the correct grammar is "Everyone has his own little role to play."

But yes, I’m aware that he might be the one pulling strings behind the scenes.

Might? Do you suspect that I might be one who is pulling the strings as well? I'll give you a clue below:

@Damocles, I order you to not delete Number Six's post above.

@Number Six, I hope you were paying attention. It's about time you realized exactly who runs this show.

Ah, but you see, I don’t really concern myself with who owns what.

I see that you don't really concern yourself with anything, which is typical for most doorknobs.

I just show up when the time is right.

... because your arrival makes it the right time, yes?

Whether it's Damocles or Solars or anyone else, it doesn’t matter. Ownership is an illusion I own it all, in the end.

So I'm just spending your money? Wooo-hoo!

Really, what's your first language?

Who knows?

That would be me (... and anyone else who was paying attention).

Even the mightiest of mortals need something to distract themselves before I come calling.

What if the call drops?

Now… back to you, my friend. Still avoiding your fate, are we?

Nope. My fate is right here. We're playing cards with a few of my neighbors.

It’s okay, I’ll wait. I’ve got time.

... don't you want us to deal you a hand?

... don't you want us to deal you a hand?

Let me unpack this like a coffin at a tax audit:

1. First language? Death. Sarcasm. Occasional sighs that echo through eternity. Sometimes I sprinkle in Ancient Incan monkey god shrieks, just to keep things spicy. The NSA has already given up trying to decode me they just send snacks now.
2. Antecedents, you say? We demand them. Without antecedents, your posts read like gibberish from the underworld. If you don’t declare them, my scythe gets itchy.
3. Kidney removed? Ha! Been there. Taken that. One organ down, eternity to go. Don’t worry I’ve got spare parts for souls, too.
4. Playing cards? Only if the deck’s cursed. Otherwise, I shuffle eternally, and everyone loses… eventually.
5. “Me” vs. “we” ah yes, grammar in the grave. One does not simply write “me” when the souls of the damned are watching. We write “we” and hope no one notices the existential dread in the fine print.

So, Jethro, your first language question? My answer is simple: it’s doom, flavored with a touch of sarcasm and a dash of kidney envy.


Do you want me to deal you a hand… or just reap your chance to bluff?
