China is going to China. It’s too bad capitalism sucks that China teat so hard.

“OK, you’ve finished your first play through. Now go back a handful of decades and don’t do the same fuck-ups.”

Caddyshack. I can’t believe it hasn’t been mentioned.

It’s like something you’d see in an action movie and think, “Yeah…but that couldn’t really happen.”

Something approaching 10% of US Presidents have been assassinated. Add in a couple more attempts, and there really isn’t much special about these days.

That was my thought as well. I’m also thinking it might be a challenge to get something to read them in 100 years.

M-Disc?

What, do you think you’re so smart? Think you’re some rocket scientist?

Yes

…sorry

Whatever book I’m currently reading.

My grandmother ran Linux for a couple decades until her death at 101 years old. My 80+ year old mom has been running Linux for at least 2 decades. Yes, I’m tech support, but I don’t really have to do anything. It just works.

English is pretty fluid and acceptable words and definitions morph with time. So in current use, they are pretty much interchangeable, but that still pisses me off. It’s a loss of nuance. It’s like we are actively dumbing down the language as if Newspeak is a good thing.

Let me take out my cane and say,“Back in my day…”

• Envy: You wish you had something someone else does.
• Jealousy: You worry about losing something you have.

Example: I jealously protect what I have, probably to an unhealthy degree. At the same time, I sure envy that person for having something I wish I had.

Yep. Just supporting my statement.

Time and place. At one time, the conventions were a great place to try to affect policy. Hasn’t been like that since…oh… I guess around '80. A little before I became aged enough to vote. Every thing about conventions now are sound and fury, signifying nothing. Protestor efforts there are just wasted effort, or seemingly self-serving attempts to "look at me!! I don’t have a lot of respect for people that care more about a religious war that isn’t going anywhere, than defeating the fascists at home. I hate the DNC specifically, and most Dems in general, for multiple perceived or real slights on my sense of righteousness. But that’s nothing for what I see in that other party.

That said, it just seems like obnoxiously farting on your 30 year old cousin, in a decades long game of fart payback, at a birthday dinner for your 90 year old grandma. Sure, I guess, go ahead and fart at your grandma’s birthday, but I’m not going to respect you for it. Even if I would in just about any other situation. Farting on your grandma is probably just going to piss off your family.

Since a rational person wouldn’t fart at the party, or try to undermine the Dems so uselessly, it must be some GOP/Russia fuckery. We know people are easily mislead, so it’s not a jump to feel bad for these so-called leftists who are perfectly happy trying to undermine the country.

LOL. What a strange, out-of-touch take. You’re just proving that person’s point.

envy and jealousy are supposed to have different meanings, but idiots always use jealous when they mean envious. Annoys the fuck out of me.

If someone goes on a national news program and can not say that they’ll accept election results, that should be the end of their time on that news program.
