I do as my moderator told me to do. I use Brave for everything.

Love it.

Wrong way to live.

I just call him "Han the murderous xenophobe".

I think he does make a lot of good points, especially the first one. Large donations to a candidate are kind of like "official bribes". If someone (or some organization) donates thousands or millions to a candidate, you can be sure that they want something in return. Regarding salaries. I think I have mentioned this before, but Singapore saw this as a problem. Some of the best people that would help run government were not available because they could make much much more in the private area. Their philosophy was that if someone is going to be named as head of a multi-billion dollar organization that has thousands or employees, then we have to be competitive with industry if we expect to get the best people. (This may not apply directly to elected officials, but maybe their salaries should be higher.)

The finest a private university can turn out...

@89th Thanks. That had a lot of good information.

Hope they don’t prank a paranoid schizophrenic with a knife on them.

Lol

@George-K said in Feed the (black) bird: a KC-135 An FAA guy I worked with, Chris, was a pilot of a KC-135, which is a converted Boeing 707. He had a friend who was also a 707 pilot that flew with John Travolta on his 707. Chris was invited to fly the 707 with Travolta. Did I already tell you about how Travolta offered Chris a $5K watch in exchange for forbidden favors? Chris declined the offer. He stopped flying with Travolta when Travolta came within seconds of destroying the plane while singing a song about a dead pilot. The way Chris tells it, he actually prevented the crash, from the jump seat behind the pilot, by pushing the throttle with his right foot.

Never turn your back on a bull.

Sam is a homeless man that lives at the entrance to a local library. The mayor wants to get Sam away from the entrance to the library and has personally offered him assistance for housing or shelter. But Sam has always refused. He likes his situation. After months of negotiating, the mayor has a small victory. Sam has moved away from the entrance and is now living on the bench under a nearby tree. True story. What do you do when they don't want a job or housing?

Depends on your views on TULIP theology.

Makes sense. I think this has been US (and most country's) policy for a long time. The head of the country is immune. Having this type of policy protects the US president also.
