As I said in another forum thread, I think there is a "oversize" perception of the influence of Twitter vs. the reality. Kind of like that graph that I believe @Copper posted about perception vs. reality.

@taiwan_girl said in There are some things you really shouldn't multitask.: 555 And was that your contribution to the weekly recap? LOL It was not. Not really a humor-friendly environment.

@LuFins-Dad said in Car Wash Pro: Seems staged to me. I agree. Why would someone just happen to start video that before it happened. LOL But it was somewhat funny. Speaking of car washes: https://www.autopartmax.com/cars-news/watch-as-77-year-old-man-flips-his-camry-inside-an-automatic-carwash (Apparently, he stepped on the gas rather than the brake as he went into the car wash.

Corny.

We don't have a guy like Charles III who would make a benevolent dictator. Well, maybe Elon or Tucker.

That depends on whether she provides access to the big guy

Can you imagine being on a Flower-class corvette during the Battle of the Atlantic? [image: R.cba674911ffc701e8efe28d78e4a4a9e?rik=o2Sk24pTHYn4OQ&riu=http%3a%2f%2fmedia.iwm.org.uk%2fciim5%2f444%2f716%2flarge_000000.jpg&ehk=kIqFuBS3QP7ZqORrxYsXaDTfC11WmKRMKUIdtuhjSv0%3d&risl=&pid=ImgRaw&r=0]

Maybe it was a lethal injection. No need to see the larynx.

The funny thing about the article is that the fake people weren't masquerading as medical doctors at all.

Rectum? Hell, yes! Killed 'em both....

I did a three day fast a couple years ago. Fun times. Your body does interesting things after you start eating again. Don't go out.

@George-K said in The Twitter files: How Twitter rigged the COVID debate: @Axtremus said in The Twitter files: How Twitter rigged the COVID debate: the "revelation" about Twitter's past censorship Why the "scare" quotes? This is something suspected in the past, but never verified until early this year. Doesn't fit the trope.

Rally drivers are freaking nuts. How do you even get started thinking it would be a good idea to do that for fun?

@89th said in Pick one Year of Movies: The Crow I can't even think about enjoying movies when I know Brandon Lee died in the filming.

@Mik said in "Shell-shocked": I think they misunderstand the role of SCOTUS. It's not to guide policy, but to interpret the nation's laws according to the Constitution. How positively 19th century!

Around here, it's still mandatory if you are admitted to the hospital.

Kind of skimpy coverage, but yes, wishing him well. What is this, the universe's Dump on Football Players Week???

@Axtremus said in South Carolina Supreme Court: Six-week abortion ban unconstitutional: violates a state constitutional right to privacy. Relying on this Right has always seemed kind of stupid to me. It just doesn't make sense. In my mind, the murderer's privacy has never overruled the victims right to life. Why would this just apply to murdering a baby, why not apply it to any murder? What about the shoplifter's or horse thief's right to privacy? If you want to justify abortion, find some other reason.

@taiwan_girl said in Stripped: Quite common (or at least used to be) that non-US airlines (Asian) were quite picky about female appearance. Even US airlines were quite picky about the appearance of their air stewardesses/hostesses/attendants. The US airlines just started to place less emphasis on looks earlier than the other airlines.
