nah, they just told him who had hits out on him, and that he’d be fed to the wolves if he didn’t help.

The protective punishment of the state is probably a lot lighter than the street justice of global networks of criminal gangs.

…are we accidentally going to open a portal to hell by trying to get doom running on something it shouldn’t? Is that how it finally happens?

That would be the Ultimate Doom. Real Doom too.

Fourth turning theory is fashy crap written by a play write and a business fund manager (people with no credentials for historical analysis), worshipped by people like Steve Banon.

Accordingly it’s totally subjective, a guessing game.

Truth is: No one can predict what’s going to happen.

I had that, it was a combo of too much build up in my system, and the particular stain.

I got healthy for a bit then I was fine (not much of that strain left, so I pul it on the bottom of the pile).

Suggest returning to an different favourite or one you like and know well. But listen to your body - when it says stop you stop. If it’s saying quit, then you don’t have much choice.

He’s Mr. Burns but less lovable and entertaining.

Next you’re going to tell me they were never open source (they were never open source).

Nitrogen suffocattion isn’t painless if it’s done completely of nitrogen.

You’re talking about regular oxygen suffocattion caused by decreasing the oxygen available over time.

What you’ve essentially said is “the guillotine is immoral because if you cut 1/10th of the way through, then 1/9th of the way through, then 1/8th and so on… Then it’s REAL painful!!!”

No shit.

I hear ramping up electrocution over a 20 minute period is also not great.

Yep, it’s not like we can vote him out.

Behind The Bastards… Tells you about history’s greatest bastards.

I mean, Bush and Trump are in direct competition for worst presidents in living memory.

…and they both kinda jimmy with elections. They have a lot in common really so it makes sense he’ll be averse to calling out someone whose not that dissimilar to himself.

Also Bush has a generational bonding to the GOP, so there’s probably some level of moral compromise in that.

Amazon has a healthcare company now too…

…and they own twitch.

We’re always going to end up with people who can manipulate a crowd being in charge. We’re stupid like that.

The problem is getting the pictures to work from. People who don’t want to be found aren’t giving the CIA pictures of their locations, and I’d imagine the CIA already knows what road signs look like in different countries, or where certain mountains and other features are.

The problem is getting the pictures. It’s intel collection, not processing.

Here’s one to go get angry about, the Jordan Peterson crowd saying “Communism is slavery to the state”.

Bush Gore 2.0

Back when Florida threw out all those votes because Black people didn’t trust the system down there so they ticked, and wrote in “Al Gore”… Officials called this “over voting” even though the same candidate was ticked and written, they threw those votes in the garbage and Bush won.

Huh, Russia too.

I wonder if Russia understands that the crazed Republican supporters they’ve cultivated to slightly favor Russia with this candidate (Trump) are just as likely (if not more) to be the same ones demanding Nuclear War with Russia next election season, or the one after it.

That’s the problem with trying to inject chaos into the world’s current super power, it might roll over and crush you whilst chaotically flailing sometime later. That’s the nature of chaos.

What you actually want is a friendly calm America, that lets you go about your own business. Not a chaotic America run by wildcards, sycophants, and morality free billionaires.

They’re probably concerned their phones might explode. Turns out these questionable tactics mught have downstream effects.

JD Vance was appointed on Peter Thiel’s recommendation, beating out the candidate Rupert Murdoch was suggesting.

I believe Vance worked at Thiel’s Venture Capital company named Narya (a Tolkien reference, as that’s Thiel’s company naming preference).

But yeah, Trump was presented with two options from the right wing elite billionaires he serves. So that’s how that worked.

Most of the deaths under Stalin were from the conman Trofim Lysenko, who created “Lysenkoism” (a set of farming techniques he was faking the data on to get paid), and under both Mao and Stalin were from unwanted famines.
