That's a shame. I wish him the best. Would that everyone woud be human enough to do the same.

Indeed.

Ben Shapiro recently made a YouTube video about his not voting for Trump in 2016, but why he'll be voting for him in 2020.

What the hell is wrong with me that I actually agreed with about half of what that weasely voiced guy had to say.

No, actually, I need to step further back. What the hell is wrong with me that I actually listened to Ben Shapiro.

You're smarter than you look?😄

har har.

As you can imagine, my current political beliefs are creating some interesting conversational pitfalls for me these days. What's funny is that they really haven't changed all that much; lefties have just officially become insane.

I fully support public school, universal health care, gay marriage, continued immigration, and environmental protection. I also have no problem with the Democrat party's stance on abortion even though I feel differently.

But no, sorry, their shit has gone too far. When someone's fucking height can be used as evidence against them in HR discussions because persecution is ay-okay when it happens to white guys, and you can get away with calling a white dude from Germany a Nazi in team meetings and mean it, on not just one but multiple occasions, you've indicated to me that you shouldn't be in charge of turning off the lights at night, let alone any kind of government policy.

Cool video.

@Mik Funny reply. 😄

Exactly.

I'll bet those folks are a real gas at box socials.

Womb.

Boom.

Boom boom.. Womb go boom.....

We sure punched above our weight until the foreigners finally got wise to it and started demanding we stop killing them. It was our innate sense of fair play that let us down in the end.

I think the MSM has the whole human experience covered, for the purposes of convincing the masses that some stereotypical person hates Trump.

TG and Jon are living in a fantasy world. Lol

Yes.

@jon-nyc said in Did Michigan Gov Whitmer just call for Trump's assassination?:

10 point positive favorable/unfavorable and is quite recent.

Yet more evidence that polls have no meaning.

If there was a ministry of truth and is was honest and fair, the democrat party would be gone within a week.

To show you how much I know about it, I thought he was talking about a whorehouse.....

Never been in one of those, and I was only in a titty bar one time in my life, and that was to adjust a projection tv the owner bought from me. And the place was closed.

By the way... contrary to the things I say here for humor that apparently caused one or two people to think I have an unhealthy view of women... the truth is I think women are the greatest thing God ever thought of, and I have a very healthy view of them.

Klaus there is one thing you didn’t take into account.

New Yorkers would never lose to some wimpie alfalfa eating California team.

Call it the Big Apple advantage.

Plus, the New Yorkers will cheat.

What sort and amount of waste is produced?

OK, so this is what I got.

Create an infinite grid of copies of the room by mirroring the room, with the original room in the center. Each copy gets a copy of Ax (but not of Larry). Now there's a 1:1 correspondence between the possible attacks and the straight lines from Ax copies to Larry.

Consider the set of midpoints of those straight lines, reflected back to the original rectangle.
They form 16 distinct points. Why only 16? It turns out that if you move by 4 rooms on the infinite grid in any direction, the midpoint (reflected back) is the same. Consider for instance the grid at (0,0) (the original room) vs (4,0). The midpoint lies in the room at (2,0), which has the same layout as the original room (because it was mirrored twice). That's why situation from (4,0) is basically like a magnified version of the original situation at (0,0). A similar argument can be made for moving by 4 rooms in any other direction. Hence it is sufficient to consider any 4x4 square of rooms.

If you are interested, I wrote a few lines of code to compute the coordinates that I'm happy to share.

I didn't get past the 'Biden is a far-left liberal' claim.

Where I grew up our lefties were proper lefties, and they didn't call themselves bloody liberals, either.

Diamond Joe, meh.
