Wow, Fetterman... reminds me of an @Aqua-Letifer response if I've ever heard one.

@George-K said in Mistakes have been made:

You're OK with the cats in a hotel, sleeping in your bed, etc.

When you get home, you're not OK with the cats?

Some guys are the same way with hookers, or so I've been told.

Yup, stopped that breach. It worked.

And not a random crowd.

Watch the video... as the crowd is breaking through security glass with chairs and flag poles, security on the other side, people yelling "he has a gun!!".... but yes, let's breach through the barrier, what's the worse that can happen?

I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, she was representing him so of course she was supporting his claims.

Seems leagues more qualified that Beavis Butthead Gaetz.

I'm going to listen to some Prokofjew next week. This will be great.

He’ll be 16 in 9 months but by that time the nannies would be about to birth their own.

@Tom-K said in Where you gonna sit?:

I'd like to trade chord progressions with Taylor.

Is that what they’re calling it these days?

@jon-nyc the way I heard it was "Your mother's lipstick."

@jon-nyc

Her GRU handlers have briefed her well. She comes with all her answers prepared.

A different question is what Texas law they might be breaking.

A tragic car crash in Missouri yesterday was captured on a video from a neighbor's home. In the video you can see a car flying through the air at a high rate of speed before it slammed into a house.

The female driver was killed in the crash.

Luckily, several people who were inside the home at the time escaped injury.

More Russian saber rattling.

Ah, the TDS is strong within you...

@Horace True it doesn’t prove causality, but those other countries were much more flat than the US prior to the Great Recession. Our price inflation started matching theirs (as % of gdp) only after 2009-10

This is good training for those of us who can't imagine not taking a politician seriously. Observe yourself in how you react to this politician's words, and try to figure out how you're managing to not take him seriously, in his literal threat to take up arms against the federal government.

Doesn't stop me from being pissed about the original deal he was cut.

@89th said in The Love Warriors:

Call me sexist or naive, and I know each decade had its share of problems, but decades ago as you said.... there seemed to be more of a social order. Women stayed with the kids and the home, men were leaders in the community, and when conflict arose... something tells me men handle things differently than women.

That is naive because that didn't happen in your lifetime. When we were growing up the idea of a dual income household was very much established already, outliers notwithstanding.

And men weren't all leaders in their community, plenty were alcoholics and gambling addicts and everything in between.

Watch Andy Griffith and pretend it's documentary if you like, that's not how it was. Comforts and conveniences aside, we're really just trading problems for their newer models—for which we do not yet have a solution.

Not a bad idea, @Axtremus

I bought some crypto in 2021 and 2022 with the sole idea of just letting it sit and checking on it in 10-20 years. It's enough to be meaningful (I think $10k) but not enough to hurt my retirement if it's lost. I think it's at $25k right now. If I check in 15 years and it's gone... oh well. But maybe it'll be 10x higher.

The more scary fact is none of the states are above replacement rate.
