the cheapest Lidl honey

Yeah, that was probably high fructose corn syrup…

The good news? The transition to renewables is well underway,

You sure about that?

Cuz that doesn’t seem to match reality…

Dude got a diplomatic passport from his home country and still wasn’t allowed in.

It’s not just a ref, dude is supposed to be the best referee in all of Africa

Well, you know what they say:

The blood of my enemies never sets on Middel Earth

One half of Milli Vanilli will be there…

It was shady because the point was to develop ICBM technology.

“Going to the moon” was literally the backup to “nuke the moon”, it was just decided that people would rally behind a scientific feat more than wasting a shit ton of moon to show everyone we could nuke the moon if we wanted to.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_A119

So when people dig, there’s a lot of validly weird shit going on with the moon mission. Rather than relize the (relatively) open reason for the weird stuff, people jump to it all being fake. Because that’s the simplest explanation

If she was really scared she’d have made him drop out. If she was mentally well herself, she’d never have let Biden even run in 2020.

These things don’t appear overnight, but long-term partners usually miss the signs because they’re having the same things happen.

I don’t know why she’d think saying this now would elicit any response other than “fuck you”. She doesn’t get any sympathy, because she covered for his mental issues for years. And we all paid the price, including when she was first lady.

We could have had a real president and trump never had a second term

Thats a weird blog site that is always either really bad at reporting or really good at propaganda, because it keeps getting posted.

https://www.ktnv.com/news/crime/federal-charges-for-property-manager-connected-to-las-vegas-illegal-biolab-dropped

The federal charges were for guns. The “biolab” charges are not federal and have not been dropped

And the guy who owned it was involved in millions of dollars of fraud over COVID testing kit scams.

You did actually ask a question this time so:

Yes, Jackson’s campaign platform was basically Trump’s, and the result was even worse.

Jackson also said he would “drain the swamp” and reduce federal corruption and just instilled more. Naming expanded federal lands.

And that was wildly divisive, it was not what all Americans wanted, just a loud minority.

It’s fucking exactly like today in a lot more ways than I’m bothering to type out, because it almost assuredly going to be a waste of my time.

Because like I said, if I keep trying to explain things to you, I’m going to get frustrated with you. And I just don’t have the motivation to help you when even this short exchange is annoying.

Ask someone else, I won’t see anymore of your replies.

I’m not gonna put all the time in to explain why morals are not the same as laws and corruption can be legal…

But wanted to at least say that’s something you need to understand before jumping into any conversation about corruption or morality.

Like, by your own logic trump ain’t corrupt, because unregulated capitalism has controlled our country for decades and no one is currently stopping him.

I’m just going to get way too frustrated that you don’t understand that yet if I try to explain it. I sincerely hope you figure it out tho.

Then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and Vice President Dick Cheney wanted nothing to do with a new official who could touch the intelligence budget of the Pentagon, which controls four of the five largest U.S. intelligence agencies. House Armed Services Chairman Duncan Hunter, doing Rumsfeld’s bidding, immediately held up the committee’s final report to stall the bill.

What Ken misses (he always misses big things) is that Cheney operated as DNi back then, the norm was for agencies to report to the president, Cheney had them all report to him, and then he decided what made it to Lil Bush.

Cheney either intentionally let 9/11 happen, or it happened because he thought he could handle it an it happened due to his arrogance and incompetence.

The shadowy “intelligence community” he says refused to be reigned in don’t have a problem with being reigned in, they have a problem with a political appointee holding those reigns. Cheney was VP, but came up as HW’s SecDef, and HW was director of the CIA. Cheney was already an “insider” to the intelligence community long before he was VP. Hell, it was open speculation even during the election Cheney was gonna be the real president.

It’s like people forgot the Republican party was controlled by the American intelligence community before Trump showed up. Their problem today isn’t someone is running the show, it’s the president is picking people to be in charge of intelligence agencies, and not intelligence agencies picking puppet presidents.

You guys realize we had presidents when we were genociding the natives…

Right?

Like, “manifest destiny” was a real thing that really happened…

trumps the most corrupt president in “modern” history, but when our country is less than 300 years old, it’s really all “modern history”.

He’s just the most corrupt president anyone alive has lived thru, still a big deal but a big reason we’re where we are today because people don’t know shit and just vote on vibes.

trump is the cough from a disease, we can’t afford to just take cough medicine because the cough is annoying, we need to fix what’s causing the cough. We don’t have time to keep treating symptoms while ignoring the disease: rampant unregulated capitalism.

Fix that and we just don’t fix trump, we fix all the symptoms that are fucking our lives up.

Nah, “South African Ebola”

Sure, Congo is in Central Africa, but maga doesn’t know that.

Get the name to stick. And point out all the white racist “refugees” from SA trump keeps letting in as the cause. Force the cognitive dissonance of “dirty refugees” and “but they’re white?!?”

The goal isn’t for them to vote D, it’s for them to not vote R.

All that needs done making them so confused and angry they don’t want to think about politics, let alone vote. It’s not hard

That guy’s a giant piece of shit…

Even for Israel’s current government

Ben-Gvir is a settler in the Israeli-occupied West Bank whose “political background lies in Kahanism—a violently racist movement that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from their lands”.[2] He has a long history of anti-Arab activism, leading to dozens of indictments and at least eight convictions of crimes including incitement to racism and support for, as well as possession of propaganda of, a terrorist organization (the now-illegal Kach political party).[3] As a lawyer, he is known for defending Jews accused of Jewish extremist terrorism in Israeli courts.[4]

Ben-Gvir is known for being a provocateur and has attracted headlines for a variety of reasons: threatening Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin on live television in 1995 shortly before his assassination; having had a portrait in his living room of Baruch Goldstein, a Jewish terrorist and mass murderer; calling in 2019 for the expulsion of Arab citizens of Israel who are not loyal to the state;[5] inciting violent clashes between Jewish settlers and Palestinians in the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in 2021; and making highly controversial visits to the Temple Mount, where the al-Aqsa Mosque is located, in 2023 and 2024.[6]

I mean, yeah…

If speaking a language changed your ethnicity, then ethnicity wouldn’t mean what it means.

The Semitic people are of Middle Eastern descent, not anyone who speaks a Middle Eastern language.

Even Bibi, Netenyahu isn’t his real family name, he changed it from Mileikowsky to sell the lie that they were not just Jewish but Semitic too:

Once in Palestine, Nathan Mileikowsky began signing some of the articles he wrote “Netanyahu”, and his son later adopted this as his own surname. It was a common practice for Zionist immigrants at the time to adopt a Hebrew surname.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benzion_Netanyahu

It’s fucking weird everyone just goes along with it and lets a Polish guy pretend Israel is his ancestral homeland. By that logic it’s the homeland of anyone who practices any Abrahamic religion, including Islam and Christianity

Rather than bipedalism…

The big difference is humans have a Broca’s region on the left side of our brain, which controls the right side of the body…

Other primates have pretty much identical hemispheres:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9472819/

For them, it doesn’t matter which side is the driver’s seat.

For humans, the side of your brain “driving the bus” not having a language center is a disadvantage. Because what they’re saying/hearing is being filtered thru the other hemisphere, which is likely why left handed people are deemed “creative” but almost always in areas not related to straight language. Even songwriters involves much more than word choice.

It’s not that they’re “better” it’s just for most people the half of our brain good at that stuff isn’t driving the bus. But it’s not that it’s a strictly innate thing either, anyone can practice using their hand.

For really crazy stuff about this, look into how we used to separate hemispheres as a seizure treatment.

Quick edit:

Speaking of musicians tho, I’d be interested in an anthro study about the historical trend of musical instruments using the left hand as the “skill hand”. Even for right handed people, musicians tend to have better usage of their left hand thru practice of their instrument. And drummers who keep the beat first need to keep both of their own hemispheres in sync.

In the 2018–2019 Epuyén outbreak, 34 confirmed cases were linked to one index case, with transmission apparently amplified by symptomatic individuals attending >crowded social events, followed by subsequent close-contact transmissions. Epidemiological analysis estimated >an initial median reproductive number of approximately 2.1 before control measures were implemented, >decreasing after isolation, quarantine and active contact tracing.

So…

To prevent a pandemic we need herd immunity…

And for 2.0, that means 50% vaccinated. Which would be doable if a vaccine actually existed, but it doesn’t.

Which is why this is something that should be taken seriously

This sounds like you go to ticketing kiosks (where you go to buy a ticket) and want to try and browse ticket prices…

That’s not how it works

You should be looking up ticket prices online and know what you want to buy before you get to the kiosk.

Like, you want to go up to a kiosk with a fucking giant machine and make everyone wait why it punches in ever option?

How the absolute fuck haven’t you been banned from every public place or not constantly chased off by angry mobs?

Do you ever think about how you affect others? Like, ever?

I legitimately don’t know what the big deal is, Ive had a Steam Controller for years…

But yeah, I thought dualsense/dualshock was bad, but steam controller/steam controller is goddamn ridiculous

Listen to them when they shit like us.

He’s sugar coating it, the billionaires don’t think of us as a different race, were a whole nother species to them.

The brain has to rationalize why you need more wealth than you could ever spend even if you tried while millions of children starve and you could literally save their lives

Any scrap of empathy in a billionaire is completely gone, every second of their lives waking or not thousands of deaths that not only could they easily prevent, looking at each one on a large scale often points fingers directly at that wealth being removed from circulation causes the deaths.

Anyone that thought they were the same as an average person, would go fucking crazy

The only way to hold onto rationality, is to convince yourself that you’re just that much better and “the poor” can’t be trusted to help themselves and if anyone else was as good with money, they’d be a billionaire too. So it becomes this perpetuating cycle where they only interact with each and The Time Machine starts looking like utopia and not a cautionary tale.

What they’re doing is 100% normal, the problem is at the end of the day we’re letting them do this.

We can just seize their fucking wealth, it’s been done plenty of times when shit wasn’t this bad before. This time it’s bad virtually everywhere at once.
