Ouch.

Your average sad liberal doesn’t have civil and criminal liability to escape.

Hmm. I reference a Ravel piece and no reaction from @jon-nyc . Hmmmm...

Re the inauguration: Trump will be "there" whether he's there or not. So he might as well stay away.

@doctor-phibes lol

@xenon said in Market holding strong: Even with a weak jobs report, it's slightly up. (I'm guessing it makes stimulus even more likely?) As a sidenote - I finally got back into the market in a big way this new year (after crawling out of grad school debt and then buying a house). I'm lamenting my old positions that I liquidated for grad school years back. Chief among them was my $40K in Amazon at an average cost of $140 (I think I sold for like $280 or something and felt ok about it). Had some decent positions in other tech stocks as well. Ah well - starting again from this week. Ugh that Amazon sale hurts, but investing (like gambling) is really painful if you open the "what could've been" hindsight can of worms. Congrats on the house and clearing the grad school debt, btw!

@george-k said in If you like British detective shows....: I really preferred a story like Broadchurch with an arc that reaches over several episodes. I enjoyed it quite a bit too. Kind of depressing but I thought quite well done.

@jodi @jon-nyc Informative stuff. Quite sad however.

@jolly said in How are these guys going to explain themselves to the slain officer's family?: Ever stop to think the police may have thought there wouldn't be violence? After all, there gave been many pro-Trump events in Washington over the past four years. How many turned violent? I just find it hard to believe that they would not "prepare for the worse, hope for the best" It wasn't like they were guarding a used car lot.

@catseye3 said in Kevin McCarthy: Kind of makes you wonder about the brainpower of the rest of 'em, though. LOL I am not surprised by the brainpower (or minus brainpower) of the rest of them 555

@andyd said in The Outrage: @jolly Prefer real jousting with Giuliani as your second? LOL I thought verbal jousting was 90% of this forum [image: 1610138865668-e9fa3eaf-f11c-482f-8d41-1ef3ebfbe32f-image.png] I think that cartoon is a good summary of the two sides in USA today If the other side is for it, I must be against it, even if the other side makes good sense. If the other side is against it, I must be for it, even if the other side makes good sense.

Still a good rant...

Yes, Apple does not grant freedom to App developers You can't even talk about freedom I'm an Apple App developer, selling for 14+ years. They don't just insist on control of everything, I believe they really hate developers. It is kind of like TDS. I think a year from now I'll be out of the game, just as they are finally giving a pay raise to developers. Not all developers, just the small ones.

@mik said in The future ain't what it used to be: They certainly have not shown any aptitude for winning over Americans Who are this "they" you speak of?

@jolly said in Seen on today's walk....: BTW, want strong convictions? https://m. Link to video I don’t pray a lot, but I will here.
