Wait until they go into a low tunnel! That may reduce the number.

@Renauda said in Carlson: "I can't interview Putin.": Watching Tucker Carlson softball Putin in return for what he wants to hear... This. I dont think that Mr. Carlson is a very good interviewer. He is a good commentator that says things his base wants to hear, but not a really good interviewer.

@Copper said in The Trump Gaffe Thread: So it's probably safe to assume it has been digitally altered. If by 'digitally altered' you mean he's got his finger up his own arse, then yes, he's been digitally altered.

@George-K said in Another Flash Mob Robs Store: Target also stands apart They have been Targeted.

Nice to see that he will be an impartial arbiter in a negotiation if called on… Dumbass

@George-K Ahh okay! Thanks!!

@George-K said in Secret Flights: @Doctor-Phibes said in Secret Flights: Apparently they weren't exactly keeping it secret... No, not "secret." Just obscure. Had you heard of this before I posted it? Probably not. Did that link explain where this 1/5 of a million people went? Nope. It's pretty weird, I must admit. Well, the numbers surprised me, at least. The actual policy is probably well-intentioned. Immigration is messed up, and I haven't heard anybody come up with a genuine solution. There's an awful lot of theatre and moralising from both sides, but very little in the way of actual improvement.

@LuFins-Dad said in The worst piece I've ever seen on the 2024 election: I honestly don't believe he'll be running in September 2024. I know you have been saying this for a long time, and I think you are psychic on this, as I think that you are true on this.

@jon-nyc said in Technofeudalism; Capitalism is Dead: He didn’t explain the concept at all in all those paragraphs. All he really said was “Zuckerberg and Musk are powerful” It was more about him than his ideas, which I sincerely hope are better fleshed out in his book

The above example just reinforces my perception that probably 80% (at a minimum) of illegal immigrants to the US are doing it for economic reasons. And it is not just a US problem. in Bangkok, probably 50% of the staff in many restaurants are from Myanmar, Laos, or Cambodia that are (probably) working illegally. Same in the construction industry. And, there is a lot of Thai construction workers in Korea working illegally. In Thai, they are referred to as "little ghosts". Taiwan gets a lot of mainland Chinese working illegally. "Follow the money"

Energy. I figured out fossil fuel so we multiplied faster than was naturally sustainable using only near real-time power from the Sun. After the fossil fuel cache is spent, we either exploit nuclear or revert to whatever the Sun can naturally support on Earth.

Still a lot more fun to watch than the first two.

My proudest moment as a dog owner came when we walked past the town hall in Foxborough and my dog took a dump right in front of a sign saying 'Vote here'

He was a very familiar sight on British TV in the 70's in a number of different series, and somehow always somehow managed to appear cooler than pretty much everybody else, even when playing in Kidnapped, a TV- series adaptation of the Robert Louis Stevenson novel. RIP.

Now it’s not clear that he would be safe walking through a Trump rally.
