What brilliant things have you learned from TUSCL?

I've learned that you shouldn't look at economic data, market trends, where we are in the product cycle, or even just open your eyes and look around you to get a sense of the strength of the economy.

Rather it is more important to consider what 16 y/o girls trolling us as middle-age strip club goers have to say, especially if they are good at quoting song lyrics. Also it is far more important to consider what your favorite political party or political blog's take on things is than decide for yourself.

After all if we don't thing like Libertarians and Ayn Rand say we are in for deserved severe economic retribution. No wait, it's if we don't do things like Elizabeth Warren says we are in for deserved severe economic retribution (unless you are luck enough to be a Koch Brother).

Brilliant answer Dougster!

But I still think the listermint thing is more useful! Now my dick is all minty fresh and strippers tell me they like that! It's brilliant! ;)

Also learned that Finland could have avoided Russian invasion altogether in WWII if they had simply acquiesced to Stalin's very reasonable pre-war demands. Too bad their politicians and diplomats just weren't brilliant enough to have done that,

I learned that "Everything written on this site should be considered a work of fiction" and then some. :)

Older you are, more desperate and sad you get

1). I spent way too much money in this pastime.
2). I agree with Shadow and Aravas

As the oldest active member on TUSCL at 73, I strongly disagree with Aravas. If you can't run with the old dogs, stay on the porch.

Shadow.....our hero! LOL

And right behind sc, I'm no more "desperate and sad" these days then I was when I started 40+ years ago.

I've learned that sometimes dreams cum true.

Thanks to Doug I learned that the Russian soldier got slaughtered every step of the the way during WW2....
Russian deaths-130,000
Finnish deaths-25,000
