  1. So, you claim to dislike the maga agenda of American primacy, yet somehow think that it is wrong for the neighbours to comment? Frankly full of freaking unfriendly foolishness.
  2. Sort of like any flying. It's the take offs and landings that are most dangerous.
  3. Musk probably needed to appease his Saudi investors.
  4. And now Walmart is the latest giant advertiser to self fornicate. https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/01/business/walmart-advertiser-ads-x-elon-musk/index.html
  5. This Bob Dylan song sums it up. I'll stand on his grave to make sure that he's dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEmI_FT4YHU
  6. To Bob Iger no less. It's a good thing Disney is woke and probably has characters who can do as Elon is asking.
  7. I've been told that it takes all kinds. I too can only marvel in stunned disbelief at the level of stupidity required to hold some of the opinions I see expressed here at times. Yet there they are, often winning elections. So many WTF moments.
  8. Because we can't stand on guard against it if we don't understand just how much of it is in our societies. This isn't FB, your feed is not curated to cater to what you already believe.
  9. Are women still allowed to travel without a close male relative as guardian?
  10. I have read about this. And it is frightening. The most frightening part of it is that it is here already in 3 states. Arizona, Arkansas, and Louisiana. In those states there is a optional form of marriage available that only provides for divorce in limited circumstances. Just like the bad old days. I'm not sure what happens if one of the couple leaves the state like the old days of going to Nevada for a divorce. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenant_marriage
  11. Berkeley Breathead to the rescue.
  12. Which leads me to ask, who is Willem? I know nothing at all about this person. I recognize that I have no real right or need to know, but I am curious.
  13. But they are not. They have an active contest going for the nomination. And if Trump falters for any reason DeSantis or Haley will be there.
  14. Social and demographic changes coupled with the new ability to communicate especially through social media. It may as well be a time machine, it has become that profound. I am starting to think that the Chinese approach is likely to catch on and take over western societies.
  15. I guess I could watch that. But I can't imagine inflicting that sort of thing on myself. I know everyone ages differently, and that relatively rich white men with good healthcare and active lifestyles do better than most. But the man is 81 years old. Voters have good reason to be sceptical. When the best thing you can say about him is that he is better than a dotard you have to question how excited the electorate is going to be next year. The D party is putting its eggs in a very fragile basket.
  16. I guess I mean that they would rehearse him and make sure he is rested. It may be unfair, but whenever I see him speak I have serious doubts that he is still vigorous enough for such a demanding position.
  17. It would be hard for me to vote for Biden if I had a vote. I would do it anyway for the same reasons as you. Weak voiced, feeble, tottering is not a good look. And you have to know that he is carefully curated by his staff which leaves me wondering what his bad moments look like. I fear that lot of people are going to walk away from voting or go for a third party candidate. A lot of people are going to seriously consider a vote for Biden to be a vote for Harris. Not that I think there is anything wrong with Harris, but I suspect that many Americans do.
  18. Do you believe you can change any of that be censoring what I am allowed to see? When you censor the speaker you are actually censoring the listener. This forum has a set of rules already. I appreciate your contributions here but in the end I would rather lose them than submit to your desire for censorship. And BTW, racism is not illegal and hatred is promoted every day.

    40 biolabs? Who needs so many? How would you staff them?
  20. This would be a good reason why you are not a mod. We are strong enough of mind to sort this out for ourselves. Hiding from Putin's propaganda will solve nothing. Seeing it first hand merely strengthens our understanding of how they operate.
  21. The fairer sex has become UNFAIR and no longer knows to stay in their place.
  22. It looks like the Sandy Hook families are getting closer to collecting some of what Jones owes them. https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/alex-jones-needs-sandy-hook-222152347.html
  23. Maybe the amount of CNBC coverage is is the most important dataset indicating how people feel about the issue. But most likely not. Here is a data set. What kind of spin can we put on this one? https://gml.noaa.gov/webdata/ccgg/trends/co2/co2_mm_mlo.txt
