Good lord.

Hardly. Yeah, now. Not back then. Back then the very people condemning Russia today were defending the US. Typical good guy bad guy stuff. That’s seem...

Kind of funny that most arguments against peace assume this premise, of which there’s no evidence. Glad Trump, in his own idiotic way, isn’t buying it...

https://www.youtube.com/live/nNJOUy_luDM?si=Fl5VVUb-z_XgFcFN Always interesting to hear from the boogeyman. Seems accurate to me. Also always funny to...

I wasn’t talking about me exclusively, and my point is that it goes beyond buying brands. Everyone knows businesses try to sell things and have variou...

I was in Amish country a couple years ago — it’s seeped into their culture too. They give buggy rides, have ice cream stores, sell rootbeer from their...

The place to come for all Twitter updates and Truth Social reposts, plus the NY Post and Fox News, of course. Always informative.

:up: And by desire, thanks to the merchants of cool and others like them. It’s scary how well some of these algorithms work though— with news, with mu...

Good example. When I heard the “rule” was 3 months salary it was really irritating. Says who? Here business has taken something once authentic and tur...

Whether or not you agree — but also specific examples. For me, I think advertising rears its ugly head in areas one might not suspect — like marriage ...

:lol: Yes, we already know how warped you are. Thanks for the reminder though. Keep fighting the good fight of defending a genocide because the right ...

The genocide in Gaza is enough. This has been a goal for decades. It has to cover its actions so that people like you stay placated and complicit. Lik...

And since risible guy is also a huge hypocrite, I’ll eagerly await his next witty remark (which is really simply the ability to move on and the compul...

Yeah, you’re just a happy-go-lucky guy, never missing an opportunity to demonstrate your maturity and wisdom (and to lecture others about it). Oh wait...

Case in point. No wonder no one takes your boring lectures on character seriously. :lol: Just another troll.

Sure! You’re a risible, triggered little imbecile you can’t stop commenting or following me around. You’re right, it is fun! We know you lack the matu...

White Lotus season 3. Mike White is great.

Risible.

Yes— like the Palestinians, for example. Israel would like to annihilate them.

Yes. Whether perpetrated by our in-group or not.

Sure. Wouldn’t make genocide right.

I don’t think so. I think the underlying hostility towards Zelensky was there all along, but what happened was JD Vance didn’t like being challenged o...

Keep crying little girl. It’s risible.

1981. I liked 1993 too.

Yes, there we are: a triggered little puke following me around crying about how awful I am. Cry more, little girl. It’s risible to me.

History is very important, yes. Mythology isn’t.

Lol — risible guy is still triggered about something. Love it. Just nice to know that no one gives a shit about his idiotic Tweets.

So we’re going back 1400 years or so now…cool.

Yep. Yep. :yawn:

Hence why we shouldn’t compare a state to a family I suppose. Exactly. In fact this was a reaction to 9/11. It’s unspeakably awful and deserves condem...

Because I love my family, I would have even more reason to try to stop them from committing atrocities.

Do what I do: put idiots on the ignore list. You don’t see anything they post. Then they can talk to themselves. In the meantime, I suggest private co...

No I don’t think so— I meant they take climate change as more nuanced and legitimate thing to debate than, say, Holocaust history. I don’t really view...

Hardly a state— but I never said I supported it. They had some legitimate points to make. Given what they did to the Indians and the rest of the world...

What’s the relevance? I’m American, therefore I defend Vietnam and Iraq? I’m Catholic, therefore I defend priests molesting children? What a silly rem...

A state apologist through and through— but at least honest about it. I appreciate that.

I wouldn’t know. If you feel that way, you’re welcome to take your advice. It’s a stupid, stupid way to think about things— but might as well.

:lol: “Love it or leave it!” yelled the same moronic, conventional jingoists in the 60s to the Vietnam protestors. Very original; very brave. Like mos...

David Brooks on the Newshour: Apropos of what I was saying. Very typical. Laughable.

I think they had good reasons, yes. I’m also mostly in favor of slave revolts— like the one seen on October 7th. Don’t like seeing innocent people kil...

:100: But having been a moderator myself, I can sympathize — you can’t be everywhere at once. I think perhaps most mods also have a different opinion ...

Since the climate change threads are allowed to become a cesspool of denial and misinformation, I’m no longer posting on them— I’ve moved any serious ...

Yeah yeah yeah. Like when the US invaded Vietnam because it was “defending” Vietnam. Everything is defensive when it’s your team. And intellectually b...

Certainly. Nope. I think it’s power and praise. A Nobel prize would be nice. Plus war is costly and unpopular. He’s driven by media, as well, and can ...

It’s good that Trump wants peace. How he’s going about it is, as usual, a disaster. But hopefully something happens. Russia will keep the territory th...

I heard carbon monoxide more specifically. But I don’t think they know yet— nor why (ordinary) pills were scattered everywhere. He was very old in any...

Gene Hackman. That’s a big one.

Yes, the same civilized nations that murder with impunity, because their intentions are always humanitarian. If you believe all that, you’re welcome.

But speaking of taking action, I think some little twit following me around, slinging insults and interjecting himself in things I haven’t once involv...

No one cares what you think. Least of all the moderators. Sorry that it triggers you. (Actually, I’m not— it’s making my night to see your pretentious...
