  1. I don't doubt that for a second, given your judgmental tendencies: "Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms." Also, ironic has a different meaning, I think.
  2. In the words of Dr. Kallend: QED.
  3. Why? Well, because to my mind, a retirement age man going online to compare his lifetime bedding conquests with people he doesn't know, against all of the headwinds women face today, is about as tone deaf as it gets. That a very thoughtful person such a yourself is open to normalizing the behavior is especially confusing. It must be that I'm just a bit of a prude.
  4. Wendy, What are you saying? Is it about airdvr? Is it about just anything? Are you just being moderate? I am really asking you to define what you mean by what you wrote.
  5. Brother, if at this stage of your life you are compelled to discuss such things on the internet with people you've never met in person, and truly barely know at all, you have some real, deep seated, issues.
  6. Seriously, Joe, what is the content there? Is content not important when you post or is posting something just fun to do?
  7. Not actually, although the old, tired, and so overused, joke is safely intact in it's unoriginal glory. I meant about you individually. And me individually, and Brent individually, and Ken, and many others here who necessarily expose themselves laying it out as they see it. In this instance, to be frank, you should have kept your own counsel, seems to me.
  8. How very politically correct of you. All Americans don't so think and some who so speak are often just crass and thoughtless. But hey, when you are a second amendment voyeur there is gun porn everywhere.
  9. Our constitution is flawed, our system of government is flawed, and most horribly, our system of electing our leaders is flawed. Until Trump showed how easily the so called cornerstone of our democracy, the peaceful transfer of power, could be subverted and thus freed the minority Republican party to show their true colors we've just been perpetuating a pretense with winks and nods. Any idea that the genie can be put back in the bottle anytime soon is just wishful thinking. I think it's as likely as not that in the future America will be known as the place where democracy goes to die.
  10. I suppose but, in fairness, some of are developing strong opinions.
  11. The internet? Good thinking.
  12. No mention of any title deeds for Apaches or Zoroastrians? That's too bad.
  13. My tractors do and so did the truck of a former pilot who didn't think I knew what he was up to. Maybe Prist additive would solve the icing problem.
  14. It's not the physical, it's the numinous that causes the real troubles. That causes far worse problems than pronouns, carbon release, or open borders, for sure.
  15. Anyone can do cynicism, hypocrisy is where we shine. On that point Brent is right.
  16. I leased PT6's into Alaska for a while. Now and again they'd come back with engine heaters attached.
  17. Ought we not limit our wokeness to this planetary body? And if such a contraction to our area of offense taking is reasonable, maybe a little more contraction in other domains is also reasonable. For sure, it is clearly possible to be too woke: "The Navajo Nation, America's largest Indigenous tribe, has raised concerns over the presence of human cremated remains on the lander vehicle, calling the mission a "desecration" of the Moon which holds a sacred place in their culture."
  18. And in Arizona they spring for the energy to air condition everything. So everyone else suffers carbon overload, increased taxes, and Brent being right on occasion, because some people live in extreme environments? Interesting outlook, there.
  19. You're probably right. I can tell you that the sea surface temperature dropped to 30.9C here and that totally increases the irritation factor.
  20. And for that triviality a Mod gave you a thumbs up. This place is going to hell.
  21. Not can, I'd argue that in these times it's foregone. Successful occupation requires merciless subjugation. The will to do so obviously yet exists in our vicious species; who could have guessed that it would be social media that best contained our basest instincts. Now the gooder news is that we have folks rich enough, and with sufficiently base instincts, to invest in killing social media. So we have that.
