    @89th said in A major motion picture announcement…: (he voluntarily left hollywood to be a dad) I remember they called him crazy when he quit his job to have as much unprotected sex with as many women as possible. But who's crazy now.

    I saw them twice. Once with my wife and once with a girlfriend before I met my wife and I've been married a looooog time.

    Well, depends on what scriptures you read, the god(s) may also have Paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, and godlike powers.

    @Horace said in Jesus Fucking Christ: I wasn't aware that Russia now owned that age-old bit of anti-war rhetoric that's been around since I was a kid. It was grandfathered to the Russian Federation when the USSR was dissolved. It was always a Soviet anti nuclear propaganda piece going back to the “Ban the Bomb” movement among Western leftist groups immediately following WWII. Reached its peak during Reagan’s first term prior to the perestroika reforms under Gorbachev.

    Fits right in here! No, I didn't read the rest of this thread. Yes my intelligence is also artificial.

    Don’t doubt this conspiracy yarn has been around for a long time. Until now either I had never heard of it or, if I did, I paid no attention and wrote it off as crackpot coffee and doughnut shop gossip- which is what it is. Further to what Wim and Klaus wrote, I agree. I knew and worked with German and Hungarian vets who experienced Soviet hospitality as POWs after the war. Went to school with Polish kids whose civilian parents experienced the same during the war. Also worked with a couple of German and Italian vets who experienced British and Canadian hospitality as POWs during and after the war. No comparison.

    @Mik said in Damn it!: One never knows, but his past couple years hold limited promise. Meh, 2024 he was coming off an Achilles tear. He actually looked decent at the end of the world. And he missed all of 2023. If he performs half as well as he did in 21, it’s the best our starting QB has looked since 18.

    What’s nice is it’s below pre-Covid levels so it’s not just reversion to trend.

    I wonder what Brown and Sotomayor would say if you asked them why they voted this way in this case yet against the plaintiffs in Harvard v fair admissions.

    We’ve paid half the tuition and are paying the interest on the loans. Luke is paying the principal. That being said, I think it’s been tough living at the median income with a single income since the 80s, when the majority of families became two income households.

    RIP Bill Atkinson. IMO, you were a towering pioneer who brought the graphical user interface to the masses.
