@George-K said in They Knew Each Other: This is not the Floyd you're looking for: A man who worked at the same club with George Floyd and Derek Chauvin – and previously told CBS News the two had "bumped heads" – changed his story Wednesday, saying he had mistaken Floyd for another unnamed African-American employee. David Pinney told CBS News he worked at the same club where Chauvin and Floyd were employed to provide part-time security. Chauvin is the former police officer who is charged in Floyd's death. In an interview with CBS News, parts of which aired Tuesday, Pinney had described a tense relationship between Chauvin and a man who he said was Floyd, and said that the two knew each other "pretty well." On Wednesday, Pinney told CBS News in an email he had confused Floyd with someone else: "There has been a mix up between George and another fellow co-worker," he wrote. Huh!

What people need to realize is that the past was filled with normal people just like the present. If any of our virtuous folk of today would like to know how they would have thought and acted in any given historical culture, they only need to learn how an average person thought and felt, in that culture at that time.

@Copper said in How about that market?: @Mik said in How about that market?: How are your investments looking? I’m only down 3.6% from my high. How is that looking today? Lots of stocks on sale today. Might be further discounted in the coming weeks, too.

Those look fantastic. I assume it's an intentional foodie thing to not make them round?

@Mik said in Bunker Boy: @jon-nyc said in Bunker Boy: Yeah, Mik, that would be the normal view. I think if Trump hadn’t responded to the story with ‘no no no I was just inspecting it’ there would have been no comment. It’s Trump’s blaring insecurities that are being mocked, not the fact that he was in the bunker. Can you honestly blame the man with the treatment he has received? Yes. When you say that Floyd, while dead, would be happy because employment numbers are good, you're trolling about half of the American public. So yeah it's his fault he's hated so much.

@Improviso said in Gone is "Gone With The Wind.": The lead character, Guy Montag, is a fireman who becomes disillusioned with his role of censoring literature and destroying knowledge, eventually quitting his job and committing himself to the preservation of literary and cultural writings."*** These days, anybody committed enough to counter-culture causes that they'd drop everything to devote their lives to fight the system, have convenient mobs they can join instead. They don't have to risk anything, and they even gain social credibility among their friends and coworkers! This is a wonderful efficiency our modern society has built into itself. Now anybody can be a courageous superhero, worthy of having books written about them, just by joining a mob!

@89th yeah that’s what I remembered

ooh, ooh

@George-K said in SARS-CoV-2 cases surge: @Jolly that was my thought as well. Perhaps hospitalizations? I think the metric for "severe" is "needs hospitalization." You can be sick as fuck, but if you don't meet certain criteria, stay home and you're not "severe." Yeah, hospitalizations is what I look at.

As usual Ax, you miss the entire point.

I think I hit a Q#.....

@Horace said in Comfort foods: Mesquite grilled steak. Some good cake for dessert. By "good" I mean something dense and moist, not that airy dry stuff with a half inch of icing you can find at every office birthday party. Yuck. If you like coconut, there is nothing like a sour cream coconut cake made from fresh coconuts, with the milk folded into the batter. [image: picvVq1PR.jpg]

Trump is one person with a shtick. The left continues to careen off the rails as a group, displaying everything wrong and pathetic with the human psyche.

Just before the fall of Rome the Roman government had taken to driving a wagon through the city filled with money, and throwing money òut of the wagon to the citizens. We now call it a stimulus.
