@Clme said: I don't know of any other group of internet folks that I would willingly drive across the country to see. (Or trust that I would still be physically unharmed after the visit). Naw... All the damage is emotional/intellectual..…

@KittenVicious said: that's how i can tell i'm old now. i don't understand about 70 percent of the shit people care about. which is up by like 10 percent, but still. For me, it was my kids Math homework... All this wacko new-math, WTF, …

@Clme said: A main page post I wrote very early on, February 2001. I had told a story about how a very flamboyant man was heavily joke-flirting with me while getting me to convert change to bills while I was working in the gas-station. I mentio…

Should I call-up Biden today and demand to know where my cheque is?

I haven't the time to properly research and formulate a detailed response to everything you said, but I have some quick points I would make. @Bill said: Obviously I simplified it. I wanted to highlight the main point. Really, if you don't b…

As someone who is fairly conservative, financially, I don't see myself getting into stock speculation and day-trading... But, MAN... would I like to go back to December and buy some GameStop stock... I need a time machine.

@Clme said: Maybe he left a copy of the health care plan in the Oval Office? Biden has said that Trump left him a "generous" letter in the Oval Office. I think you may be on to something.

@fenomas said: Aha clme, but what if the rioters believed it was okay to invade the capital and beat a cop to death? There were plenty of terrorists (my preference to "rioters") who believed it was ok, because they were there on the presi…

@Bill said: It read like he wanted a loud demonstration. There's nothing in there that implies he wanted them to occupy the Capitol. So, your response to, "it's not the specific things he said on the 6th, it's the totality of everything t…

@Bill said: Well, I read the transcript of Trump's speech. I saw no call for riot, insurrection, or anything else of the sort. You really can't be so naive as to believe that, because he didn't use the precise words, that absolves him of …

I... er, Santa, got me a pair of these. The wife got me a framed vintage Porsche advertisement (reproduction):

@Clme said: That seems to a narrower definition of what we have typically considered a domestic terrorist. For example, we never learned the motive of the vegas shooter. I agree with Bill's definition... The Vegas shooter was a mass-murd…

It's funny how the Republican's are the party of small government and personal freedom, unless you are something, or do something, that they think is icky. Then they're all up in your business.

404 FTW Notifications are missing? I don't know what it means, but it got my attention.

America has a problem... Whenever an issue of major social importance comes up, an extremist minority group of assholes and opportunists (on both sides of the issue) hijack the narrative and drown out the majority with legitimate complaint. Th…
