Turkey shoots down Russian fighter jet

WTF. You do yoga? Wow. My mental image of Dorsey is shattered.

Huh? He is an adventure rock climber. That is exactly the sort of straight man that does Yoga

Huh. I thought Dorsey is more like derspiess. Now I have to reevaluate my worldview.

I did for a while, but not recently.

What kinda of yoga? Hatha? Kundalini?

This is also being discussed over in the main ISIS thread btw.

As I said there, if that map is accurate then the Russian flight time in Turkish airspace can only have been a few seconds.

Think about all the favorite languish topics of discussion this touches on:

Erdogan
Putin
General Military Shit
ISIS
NATO

If it turns out one of the russian pilots was homosexual, this will be the holy grail of languish topics, and likely be mentioned in every thread we have.

Siegy's singularity may be closer than we think.

needs more chinese

I am very conflicted on this, especially as the Polish media have started a ritual dance cheering on the Turks already. I have no love for either Putin and Erdogan. I would have felt better about it if the pilots weren't massacred as a result - they probably were just some kids, who were on a bomb run against ISIS, and they paid with their lives because of two assholes posturing.

Sorry for going all pinko on this.

I have no idea. The gym at work had a fitness yoga class during lunch that I used to go to. I should look into starting again.

Was it more like "standing on your head" yoga or "breathe and expand your aura" yoga?

in an ideal world the Turks and Russians finish of each other, ending up with the Greeks and half of the Paradox-forums to reclaim what's left for Byzantium.

If it weren't for Turkey's NATO membership, then it would be just yet another bad player getting in the way of the 113 bad players already involved in the conflict.  You'd want to sit back and let them beat the shit out of each other with conviction.  I also wouldn't shed too many tears over the pilots; Russian bomber raids aren't exactly delicate surgeries.  Not that I cheer on their lynching, but on the long, long list of victims of that war, they're not going to be anywhere near the top when it comes to sympathy.

Probably more like the former, but without anything as tough as standing on your head, as this was a class involving a lot of middle aged office women on lunch break.

Ah ok, so probably some form of hatha yoga light. I prefered kundalini yoga, mainly because I hate standing on my head.

I was going in order to improve flexibility and core strength. What kept me from continuing was I just didn't see much improvement, and I suspect that I actually ended up straining muscles (probably because the competitive side took over, and seeing a flexible woman in a pose made me try to match it regardless of whether that was a good idea).
