Anyone else watch Rick and Morty, isn’t Graham basically Jerry in couple therapy place (mean outside of the ‘presenting’ that it does)? It’s just so subservient to whoever he latches on to. Mean from bomb Iran of McCain it just may be doing his previous hang on wishes here too. But seriously this guy is a senator that has a leadership ability of a wet noodle. Aren’t senators supposed to be strong in their own convictions? Mean maybe there’s lots I haven’t heard of Mr Graham but I don’t think McCain would be happy with his swap.

Least McCain had some principles and would now down to the orange turd, that’s the only good thing I saw from him (okay plus telling someone in an audience to be respectful of Obama, you’d never see that today)

Probably not what this article means but had a coworker at a previous job give a bunch of suggestions or answers at one point (want to say very small company single programmer is me, few tech support and sales people). One guy gives suggestions based on chat gpt, so I end up figuring out what is incorrect from the suggestion.

Mean I know he’s trying to be helpful but giving suggestions that don’t work is a bit of a time waster. To be honest I’m probably middling as a programmer, I can figure out stuff but not a fantastic one (maybe I sell myself short never come across an issue I couldn’t solve but took time). So having to spend time to go over that just makes me go over stuff I really don’t need to. Quite a pain, as much as I appreciate them trying to help it’s a time waster checking out those options to see if they work.

When I slept in the room with the ensuite, we didn’t care when we slept. Mean don’t think either of use dropped deuces (#2) close to sleep time there, we also have 2 other toilets so that bls.

Basically my thought is, if someone can smell it less if I pooped elsewhere in the place, do it that spot. Cause I don’t like smelling poop so assume others do not care to either.

Course I have my own issues but still assume that’s a good rule to live by. Man when a date had a curtain over the bathroom doorway and not a solid (well semi solid there mostly empty in the middle) door I couldn’t relieve myself. Mean enough making out maybe I could tinkle but that’s about it.

Yeah that’s my reaction when I noticed… oddly just when I read your comment. Fuck Murdoch’s publications.

Thank you for helping me see it.

I want to add, sometimes there are good (or semi accurate) articles but having to do the checks on their reporting sucks balls and not in the fun way.

Yeah like if I was them I’d arm with offerings and give the middle finger when they asked for action. They are owed for being ignored and left to fend for themselves (as I state later my understanding of the situation is almost nil, but you don’t keep allies by screwing them over) by what they thought was an ally. But everything is transactional with the memory of a goldfish for this administration.

I’ll say I don’t know the situation there well at all, maybe accepting whatever is offered with the suggested actions is in their best interest. I hope they can make a decision that doesn’t screw them over in the long run (not by their choice for sure to be clear), whatever is needed. Mean being on the wrong side of the CIA has never helped many either. Conflicts suck and it’d be nice if we could figure out how to resolve things peacefully, though I guess that idea belongs in a fairytale these days.

When you can justify your actions due to a fuzzy theological belief it’s quite silly. I am an atheist but if there is a god, he gave us the power of reasoning and logic. Then if there is that, why is there any logic to disobey one of ten major rules for humans to live by? He put them in a rock according to the story, wasn’t like hidden words needed to be seen by lemon juice or something. They are quite pronounced in the Bible, so why can thry think don’t kill people doesn’t apply to them?

God sent one kid, why not another if an amendment was needed in the killing but?

I basically only use Youtube to watch let’s plays (video games) never dipped my toe into other media site to see how it tries to show that stuff. Then if I need something new to watch I’ll find newer games I may be interested in and search accordingly or watch older videos of people that I enjoyed.

I’m sure that keeps me in the bubble of entertainment vs political stuff but really I’ve rarely seen that stuff pop up. I’d probably stop all together if I only saw some of the crap I’ve heard of people’s experiences.

New can be interesting but rather just prefer a good player explaining why they’re playing like they do. Some strategy games (paradox) can be quite complicated to understand the finer points. Makes life better not hearing/watching dumbasses.

Thanks for the link, I knew I read it somewhere. Like I think if everyone knew and understood what that meant things could change. Unfortunately these days that’s as likely as me hitting a home run it seems. Not that it’d take much to explain if the media wanted to…we all know why they don’t, anyone that can own big media is a billionaire and loves the outcome.

How anyone can follow Bannon, a dude who looks like he’s stewing in his own juices, is beyond me. I’d even say half the people following him could overtake him without much issue but for some reason they just want to be a sheep even if they’re ‘alpha’. It’s like if Urkel (showing my age but yes Family Matters show) was an evil genius and hoodwinked others.

Doesn’t Bannon do a lot of work in Europe and Italy specifically? Well lobbying and such and apparently trying to create a force of people. Sure he has his project 2025 orders to focus on from those higher ups.

Yeah the guy who cheats against kids in golf is not playing a clean game in a national election. Mean the dude lies like a sidewalk and aome people wonder why he doesn’t do what he promised. Cause he’s a fucking con man, grifter. He’s the guy they’d tar and feather back in the day if he stuck around long enough.

Heh and Obama looked presidential in any suit. I so thought the US improved after they voted him in.

A person high up in the current US administration lie? That should be a huge scandal…wait it’s a day that ends in y. Yeah there are many more.

Learn a other new thing again appreciated, I don’t think I’ve heard of that one…or did years ago and memory failed hard to tell heh. Always nice to realize new things so thank you.

Imagine getting as far as Trump has and not understanding anything just buying your way through life. Then even if he breaks all the laws he still doesn’t get any legal punishment beyond paying more but he has tons of money. He’s literally looting the US Treasury right now.

Few stories I’ve read lately is their ideas are much larger than warehouses, like a 100k person prison, billions of dollars. How this isn’t causing total shutdown of the US by general strike is horrifying as a neighbor. I can’t imagine how they think they’re in a democracy, though I’m sure many of them probably understand that which is even scarier. I bet those ones will be surprised when they’re on a list for some reason too, there always needs to be enemies afterall.

So apparently ICE doesn’t accept given official id anyways, why is anyone going to want to come on a hope they don’t end up in a concentration camp? Yeah I’m not betting on those odds.

Mean this term is worse but if that was possible it would have happened before the end of the first one I assume, the world watched Trump looking like he was Putin’s dog at … Well whatever conference that was. Assume it was a bad employee review. Now this administration has axed everyone that has so much as a raised eyebrow to their actions and doesn’t want to gargle that baby carrot.

In the end I don’t think there’s any saving except by the American citizens in some action. Least before it gets much worse on a world stage. Beyond alienating allies and doing his tariff quick attack which seems to be the standard ‘attack other countries that include nato when they don’t say yes’.

Kind of like an abuser would do huh…and Trump has only been named 38k times in the released Epstein files from pages that aren’t completely blacked out? I’m sure it’s just a coincidence…the sound of your tub draining is the same one American democracy is doing as it’s sucked into his bank account.

I won’t say it’s always my thing but sometimes a plain action movie with few cheesy lines is all you’re looking for. Definitely saw enough Chuck Norris in the 80s to confirm that.

Seems odd they’d both end up in the same crappy movie together in that year. May not be remembering movie years well but Urban was least in Star Trek and Bettany in Marvel even if only as a voice but assume the plan was to make him Vision from the start.

Was it entertaining at least? It sounds like it could be a fun watch, in theory…like the synopsis of Red Letter Media’s Best of the Worst movies probably do.

Which is why billionaires should not exist. When you got enough money your toys are people’s lives while you have fun trying to shape socities cause that’s what you want.

We got enough issues before they all decided to play with their toys. I’d say no one on a planet scale should have as much influence as these people do for a functioning society.

Okay maybe when we have Dune level of planets (tens of thousands) in our realm…but not when we got one planet where some dipshit can destroy half the world by making a decision. Oh didn’t mean the other obvious one this time but yeah still agree. He’s only rich off a good bubble (co-founded paypal and invested in Facebook early) and probably off of other people’s suffering. He got lucky with money and now has power to control how things work in many societies. I say societies cause I assume he has influence over other countries in some way.
