@89th said in DNC buries the 2024 Autopsy Report: I'd imagine most folks want: respectful leader, strong national identity, rule of law with pragmatic sympathy, fiscally responsible, moderately social... or the magic wand of: keep me safe, keep the rule of law just and blind, keep my 401k healthy, and bring back affordable prices. "Wanting" is one thing, actually putting in the time and effort to adequately evaluate the options and choose the option that has the best chance of getting them what they want is something else. Heck, it requires much time and effort to develop one's intellect to the point where one can adequately evaluate the options, many fail even at that.

@Mik said in Is Matt Gaetz a creep?: As far as I know, the only people who have suffered from them are Epstein, Maxwell and Andrew Mountbatten. Then there are the then-underaged victims ... Link to video

Best wishes for Sen. Kyle and his family.

When you see 15 older threads suddenly renew with comments, you know she has arrived!

groundbreaking lol

The Constitution is silent on tech developments. It's fair game for the states.

@Doctor-Phibes said in China is what we dream of: I just want to be able to read Winnie the Pooh without being sent to jail. Don't tell anyone. You'll be fine. For a while.

Where I live (city, urban), when seen, the bears are caught, then often relocated far away. Older bears are rarely euthanized. We’re quite accustomed to seeing the wildlife officers and bear containers out during berry season. Saying this, cougars are a different story. Nasty mean, silent attackers, and if you hear them you’d confuse them with chirping birds (or so I’m told). We’ve friends who are building a cabin just south of YYC. They have a family of cougars who took up residence in the foundation. It’s about 2 years now and the house still isn’t finished. Those cats must remain close by though. I’ve seen video of deer walking across the path leading up to their place followed by 4 cougars ripping across afterwards. I’d be scared stiff to be out there.

Too late, I asked it. And it came up with TARS, which makes a lot of sense. Welcome home, TARS! [image: 1767151147839-e760cd72-f04d-4a9a-9b27-82abf434463c-image-resized.png]

Very few crimes pay much. The trick is knowing when to get in and get out. Full time crime is a sure ticket to jail.

I guess Russia funneling money to maga media pundits is something we want more of. https://x.com/willsommer/status/2005811949792104605?s=46

I mean, if you look around, most people are fat.

It feels like only a matter of time before Omar is officially connected. Her husband’s company has been scrubbing their website…

And I hate guided tours. Much too slow and boring. It’s like actually reading a self help book. 300 pages that could easily be condensed to a one pager.

@Tom-K said in A Christmas Message: Reading that Trump message after being away for a month from paying attention to any news or headlines or discussions of politics and it does come as a cold slap in the face that DJT just might be really really crazy. When I was in the middle of the news cycle day to day I guess I might have dismissed that as, "oh, that's just Trump." But as an isolated stand alone Christmas greeting from the most powerful man in the world those little paragraphs are kind of scary. Just sayin'. Funny...I was offline for about 3-4 days and I also had temporarily forgotten how insane he is. It does further prove my very selfish but realistic point that 99% of what you see in the news has absolutely zero effect on your life.

Merry Christmas, LD. A bit late but I've been away from the internet for a bit. We had a nice day... with kids 7, 5, and 2, I have been living in unpackaging toys hell...batteries, unclipping tightly packaged toys, setting up some electronics, setting up even more hot wheels tracks. Honestly I don't mind it (other than the very loud noise of all 3 kids asking for something at the same time) but I know their youth and excitement is fleeting in life, so I enjoy it. I also enjoy a very subtle pair of "noise reducing" (almost invisible) ear plugs. It's called "Loop", I think. It cuts the volume of noise down about 50% which I cannot describe how much it helps me avoid being an overstimulated dad with a headache.
