Trump just held a peaceful rally. No big deal. But a non-president did drugs and hired prostitutes! Outrageous. :lol:

To corporate America, particularly the financial sector? True. We shouldn’t keep giving money away to them. Also, Friedman’s thinking is long obsolete...

So keeping real wages stagnant helps older people. Is this serious? Wages can keep up with inflation and social programs like Medicaid / Medicare and ...

Hunter Biden didn’t pay taxes. As a former president, he should know better. Oh wait. Donald Trump tried to overturn an election and incited an insurr...

I rest my case. I’ll repeat: the idea that workers being paid a living wage in the richest country on Earth somehow hurts older Americans is a lie. Th...

No it doesn’t. The excuses for keeping wages low are getting more and more pathetic. Now it’s supposed to hurt old people… :roll:

Compensate workers more. https://youtu.be/7snlqeJII6s

True— but you know what really surprised me? Frankie Valli. He was big before Dylan and the Beatles!

The Limey (1999). Great movie. Especially the ending.

In the sense that metaphysics and ontology are closely related, I can see the point: science has ontological foundations, like everything else. There’...

Exactly. The reason it doesn’t matter, and they support him no matter what, is because they’ve been conditioned to do so— through the dominance of con...

Trump took classified documents, either out of spite or looking to make a buck somehow (as always), refused to return them after being asked multiple ...

Just think of it as a corporation, which you endlessly defend.

What’s funny is that there’s plenty of profit to be made and plenty of work to be done. We need to electrify everything, which means transforming our ...

It’s the new line for those who seek to delay what needs to be done: China. The reality is that China has taken bolder action on climate change then t...

Then I’ll owe you $10 to the charity of your choice, or whatever we agreed on. Happily.

If the national Democrats could be more like Minnesotans, perhaps they'd have a better shot. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/minnesota-miracle-democrat...

Then I suggest learning more about the topic. This is pure ignorance.

Language.

No I don’t. But coming from a guy claiming those he disagrees with are “bots”, which is the very definition of dehumanizing, I’ll take it for what it ...

Let’s plug in what is now claimed to be the case and see how well it holds up: Definitely makes sense in this context. :roll: I always love when peopl...

So funny to watch the con man’s little followers become con men of their own. Listening to their explanations (satirical rationalizations) I’m reminde...

Personally I don’t care. It’s obvious he’s a criminal, based on evidence accumulated long before he was president. He’s also a sociopath and rabid nar...

What a buffoon.

Yeah, and it’s obvious to anyone who isn’t a Trump bootlicker. And to be clear: Hunter Biden can go to jail for all I care. So can Joe. But it’s the s...

Incidentally, I’m not using the laugh emoji for no reason— I’m actually laughing at this. Watching the Trump believers’ outrage is fantastic stuff.

:rofl:

Guess this is fine. Unless of course the ruling is unfavorable— then it’s a deep state plot.

Hunter’s laptop. :rofl: So we should be up in arms about this. But hoarding classified documents, inciting an insurrection, lying repeatedly about the...

Lol. Yes. Would have made all the difference. 7 million votes worth.

Cell phones.

How could the Great Man do any wrong? It’s not like he has a history of lying and conning. Doesn’t seem to be something he’d do.

Trump. The cause of, and solution to, the world’s problems. Random Trump quote, just for fun:

:scream: Yeah, I’m just not so sure about that.

You nailed it. I’m graduating this month. Can’t wait for the next adventure of working a job that gradually crushes your soul, for business entities t...

You know who else was persecuted? Jesus. Makes you think…

Too bad you missed the boat on asking Chomsky himself!

:rofl: Ohhh I love it I love it I love it.

Cult leader can do no wrong. Has to be a deep state conspiracy.

Not my fault mom, the teacher is against me.

Orsnge skies in NY. Living with the effects of climate denial and delay these past 30 -50 years. Thank the Koch brothers.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. If that’s true that’s interesting. Between Chomsky’s comments and a number of lectures/debates I’ve watched, and some SEP r...

I don’t see much of interest, in what I’ve read. Seems like a lot of fluff. Maybe I’m wrong or am missing something. No one seems to discuss his ideas...

So yesterday I couldn’t figure out whether someone was waving at me or the person behind me. Don’t you hate when that happens? Embarrassing. In other ...

To translate this awkward sentence: Supposition: Language of law is determinative of behavior. What does that mean? I don’t hear many arguing that the...

I'll keep it simple and say Arethusa and two others close to Jackson: Glen Ellis falls and Diana's Baths. These two aren't difficult hikes at all, jus...

Nice town. Check out Arethusa Falls if you like hiking. :up:

New Hampshire. But close.

Well damn you for that. It’s not my fault I’m a little slower than average, mentally.

I’ve finally discovered it: 55 degrees and sunny = perfect spring weather. Chilly enough for a hoodie, warm enough to be outside. No mayflies, no mosq...
