Then he had to turn around and say "Obamacare bad" when he competed in the 2012 Republican primary because by that time the GOP base's mantra was to repeal Obamacare. That he did.

@taiwan_girl said in Fraud: @jolly said in Fraud: @taiwan_girl said in Fraud: So, if fraud is on both sides, dont they kind of cancel each other out and the end result is if there was not fraud at all? :man-shrugging: How much fraud is there on both sides? I want you to point that out to me. The logic tree goes like this: Is there fraud? If so, how much? Where dies it primarily occur? Who benefits the most? How do we eliminate fraud? I dont know that answer, but human nature being human nature, the logic answer would be that both sides commit it equally. LOL I agree that there is some fraud that occurs, but my opinion is that it is a super small amount and the "net" result for one side or the other is almost zero. I do agree that there should be no fraud however. In other words, you don't have a single damn idea, LOL.

Yay!!! Gald that you had a safe trip and it was a good enough place to want to return!!

@mik And then took it to the F100 line in 1961.

For that kind of money, you chaps could have a decent Formula 1 team.

@george-k said in Hey, George.: This stuff? Yes, that's the one. I like it well enough. I'm not a good one for food reviews . . . I probably wouldn't buy it again. I don't like things made to taste like other things, that is, I like mustard to be mustard and Tabasco to be Tabasco. This mustard is a bit too Tabascoey for my taste. Plus, it leaves a bit of an afterburn on the tongue; not a big deal, but still.

@loki said in 5g in NYC: If it were faster than that what would be better for you? I was going to comment. I saw an article a while ago, saying that, for what most of us do (streaming, browsing, etc) we are paying for speeds we really don't need. I was perfectly content with speeds of 25 or so - everything worked, streaming was fine, except for that German pron, because, well, you know. Via cable, I'm at about 200, but I really don't notice a difference in day-to-day use from when I was at 25.

Yo Bro, dis de bro stand ina de thing: "(...we can confidently and reasonably believe that everything they say is pandering garbage. They assert these ridiculous theories, not because they believe them, but to increase interracial hostility, render minorities helpless and dependent on these powerful White people, destroy political opposition from White people who won't get with the leftist program, and maintain and increase their own political power." It does seem that the downtrodden believe their problems are someone else’s fault. At least that is the narrative. They are wrong.

TOTM.

I’m more inclined to just throw all ideas into one list and let AI/machine learning categorize them.

@jon-nyc said in Depressing: story has a right-of-center narrative. Perhaps it's just my bias, but I didn't get that impression. The only scene where I thought it came close was at the Yale dinner, when someone made a "Redneck" comment, and Vance responded. Other than the "If you work at it hard, you might get somewhere" narrative, that is.
