Here's Grover's opinions on the Iraq war, for those who didn't know:

How long will it take to capture Baghdad? 2 days Will Saddam be killed? Yes Total Iraqi civillian casualties: 500 dead Total military casualties Iraq: 3000 dead Total military casualties U.S.: 15 dead Will the Iraqi army regulars hold the lines? No Will the Republican Guard fight to the end? No Will chem/bio weapons be used on invading troops?: Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on the Kurds? Yes Will Saddam launch attacks on Israel? No -If yes; will Isreal retaliate harshly? Yes Will Saddam sacrifice Baghdad (gas/nuke it)? No Will the Kurds make a grab for independence? Yes Will Iran do anything silly like try for land? Yes Will Saddam burn the oil fields? Yes How long will the US be occupying Iraq? ~15 years Will the Iraq war catalyze increased terrorism in America?No In the long run, will this war be good or bad for the world? Good

We have to look at what those civilian casualties are- just because they're civilian doesn't make them innocent! Lets take a look at a few possibilities:

1. A civilian walking down the street to market gets killed by a cruise missile fired at the market.

2. A civilian asleep in their house is killed when their house is targetting by a smart bomb and blown up.

OK, these two are regrettable innocents being killed- but since the US doesn't make a habit of targetting markets or houses, they're very small in number!

3. A civilian working at a chemical weapon factory gets killed when the chemical weapon plant is bombed.

4. A civilian security guard at a weapons depot is killed when the weapons explode.

5. A civilian contractor repairing a tank is killed by a MOAB dropped on the unit.

6. A civilian engineer is killed when the military command center he works at is destroyed.

7. A civilian delivering snackiecakes to the baghdad bunker vending machines eats a 5,000lb bunker buster.

etc, etc. The list goes on. My point is that there are a lot of civilians directly supporting the military that aren't exactly "innocent" and would be mire rightly counted among the military casualties than civilian. I'm a civilian and work for the US military, but I acknowledge I'm also a valid military target because of what I do. And I think the vast majority of civilian casualties in this campaign will not be innocent.

ha ha goon shit

stealing that twitter valor, what crime could be worse

It could be any ugly house, but one man made it his mission to build that house, and the why’s are just as funny as the how’s, IMO.

I'm not being entirely serious but it's a modern day Icarus story with american chud characteristics.

If you can't see the appeal in that, well, it just ain't for you. I do have to note though, Groverhaus is far less about the actual house - ugly buildings are a dime a dozen - and more about Grover, who I claim schniff is like the early 2000s internet prototype of /r/leopardsatemyface except stretched to a multi-month saga instead of a twitter screenshot. Seriously, get ahold of the WTYP Episode, it's a riot.

The overconfident man kept sharing pictures of not just their ugly house, but poorly built house.

It's not just a bad house, it has a whole story about all the boomer-ass mistakes the guy made along the way

This is one of those memes from mid 2000s when people milked every slightly funny thing for like a decade.

"The long cat is long. The grin man likes to grin."

I thought, “oh thats not terrible” but those were before pictures.

The after pictures look like a set to a PUA Author’s press photo, and probably smells of brut permanently.

yo these guys are lying to you, Joists are a part of the corporate lobby to charge you extra money. You just have to make sure that your floor is properly stress tested, what I'd do is just math the thing out.

Like a bathtub ways between 250 - 500 pounds, and holds about 30 - 50 gallons of water, so that's about 800 pounds, then you add a goon, and you've got 1,100 - 1,200 lbs

So look at your floor, those tiny pieces of wood, and throw some plywood over it, because plywood is created with 200+ PSI of pressure which is a pressure measurement that's about 1lb of pressure per inch. This is great for you, as long as you have enough plywood, you'll never fall through your floor, just don't break the 200 PSI

jesus christ why would you need to cut the top off of the i-beams like that

The fake infinity tub makes me wish it would just fall through the floor instead

Love it when you cant pick a window so you just choose all of them.
