Re-affirming my decision to get a vasectomy?

Educated/shown lies that you agree with....Potato/Po-tatt-to

No offence really taken, just wanted to point out that your claim of the US importing ONLY low-wage workers was demonstrably false. It's definitely true that parts of the economy here are based on low-wage, low-skill, often-undocumented labor. I hate to admit this but whenever I'm in Canada visiting, it's almost inevitable that I do a double-take in a hotel when I see white housekeeping staff. Years ago during a Canadian Invasion, Aidan made arrangements for a bunch of us to take a tour of Rigging Innovations. Sandy seemed like a great guy and I'm sure it was a great place to work, that was made all the better for your contributions.

I haven’t tried meth yet, but Jesus is right after that on my list. Merry Christmas Ron. Hope you and your are staying warm and enjoying the season.

Happy Honda Days and a Merry Toyotathon to you as well Wendy!

As a Canadian-born/raised immigrant to the US, I resent that just a hair Rob... Yeah there are a lot of immigrants here doing low-skilled work, but don't make it out as if the US has no path for skilled labor as well. I initially came here on a work visa prior to getting my green card then my citizenship. In my small world of US oil and gas production I regularly work with highly skilled people from all over the world. Just on my team alone in a relatively small company I'm working with Turkish, Chinese, Japanese, Scottish, Venezuelan and Nigerian. I'd be willing to be that in more advanced technical environments, it's even more-so the case...Does BillVon's office look like the UN, for example?

BNN, Brent's News Network?

A good friend of mine has a son who was born his daughter. I first met the kid when he was 11. He was the obviously-bright kind of kid you'd expect from two brilliant engineer parents who strike me as having the perfect balance of caring for their kids but not being all up in their shit. When she hit puberty, she had a rough few years before deciding to come out as a man. I can't imagine the guts it took to do that in a rural TX town, but he eventually transitioned and is just wrapping up undergrad in an advanced field with several institutions actively pursuing him for post-grad. He's just a really kind, well-adjusted, extremely ambitious, super-smart 22 year old who's going to make some big waves in a really positive way. I'd hate to think what would have been missed if he'd not been allowed, or not had the guts to make the call to live life as his true self. No doubt there's been countless unnecessary loss and suffering over the years from people not feeling like they had the option to transition, or not being accepted after they did. That said, as with most people on here I think any irreversible changes on minors are generally a bad idea. There are going to be exceptions, but they should be rare. For every example of somebody who really needed to transition (and I really don't want to under-count that group!), how many kids are there who are struggling to find their identity and might be willing to dive into something just to set themselves apart? As a horrendously imperfect comparison, you don't see many 40 year old goths and on that note, teenagers sometimes fuck up when trying to figure out their identity.

Sounds like Musk didn't intentionally tip the scales of the poll (at least not enough to make any difference)....Will be curious to see if he actually steps down and, if so, does he just appoint a puppet successor.

You’re obviously a disinterested outside observer, just calling balls and strikes

In what realm does it make sense to celebrate the fact that we're increasing our appetite for a resource that we'll eventually run out of? Cutting off one's nose to own the libs.

If it makes you feel any better, crime isn't the only area in which they disregard science and evidence.

Joe, you’ve been posting some pessimistic shit as of late and I’m able to roll through most of it. The thought that we’re but pawns in Brent’s game is almost enough to have me looking for an extension cord that’ll make it to the bathtub

I won't pretend to be any kind of expert, but my opinion is that it's a whole lot more complicated than that. What he pulled off with SpaceX and Tesla was super-impressive and I think he may have developed a bit of a 'God Complex' from having his previous successes in such challenging areas. The Musk of Twitter seems a dumpster fire to be certain, but I don't necessarily think that negates his past successes/contributions. I hope he'll be able to un-jump that shark, but I sure as shit ain't holding my breath

So in your mind, the fact that a documentary, in December 2022, didn't set box-office records is evidence that climate change isn't real??? Damn dude, lay off the Tucker for a minute and use your fucking brain...You're obviously smart enough, stop being led around by the nose

As much as I'd like to agree with you, that's the problem these days...we set those limits and before long somebody will be all too happy to smash through them.

That could have been a lock on the southern vote

I think "The Ds" are the whole Hunter story now are they not? I like how this has come full-circle. How many threads have you started on here predicting the demise of Musk, now you're sharing his trolling just because you like the flavour of the Kool-Aid he's serving. When your guiding ideology is "Dem's Suck", you have to twist yourself into some interesting pretzel's to get your point across. Maybe Hunter did some shit and if he did he should face the consequences...that said, while Musk is a genius in many areas, one of the things he's famous for is over-promising and under-delivering. And once again, you're gloating based on an unreliable prediction. Learn your fucking lesson dude. Anyway, I think we're all in agreement that Hunter should no longer be President so at least there's that.

I said he's smart enough to figure it out...I don't think there's a snowball's chance in Miami that he'll actually change.

Not that Wendy needs me or anybody else to defend her, but calling you out for your incessantly playing dumb isn't a personal attack. Stop trolling and people will stop calling you a troll. I know you're smart enough to figure that out.

How very Christian of you

I see you've learned your lesson on prematurely gloating about political wins.

Copy and paste a headline from Fox, nice Brent. Did you actually read the article this time at least??? https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/brittney-griner-coming-home-stand-anthem-back-usa.amp

Yeah I mean it's been 4 months already!!! How long should we have to wait for results on something of this magnitude!?!?!? Like 5-6 months? It should definitely be sorted by then. You make yourself sound a fuckofalot dumber than you are when you just echo Tucker's BS.

After a 1-month reset, he's back trotting out the same old horseshit
