Do you literally think you’re contributing to the conversation? Or are you ironically being figurative?

A friend with an unusual first name told it to someone in conversation on one of the sites. Based on that, he showed up at my friend’s doorstep. He took no for an answer and went away, but it’s still creepy as hell.

“Spartacus”

There’s likely an untold story where he tried his darnedest to become a famous secret agent for Trump, but was foiled at every step as he was unable to get security clearance. I’m hoping some decade hence we’ll be told of him trying to self-importantly weasel his way into meetings and intelligence past his station,…

Huh. So it could have been brain injury.

Are Michael and Business Insider being controlled by the same nefarious forces?

I feel bad for the people who believed their beanie babies would hold their value too.

I probably came across as condescending, so it’s fair you returned the favor. I still say don’t bet against new technology, but it’s your nickel.

Getting emotionally invested in a commodity is risky. There are very lovely smart people involved in cryptocurrency, but since its inception there’s been concerns it could be used by criminals (and people like Richard Spencer). Government may overreact and make cryptocurrency less valuable, and there are unknown…

Really depends on the type of snake. Not all snakes have fangs, and in fanged snakes, the fang shape and location varies.

It’s so nice to see government working like it’s supposed to.

It’s a good thing he’s not a judge anymore, as one of the things judges are supposed to know is not to trust polygraph tests.

I thought he was good in that.

Anyone who doesn’t think Paul Reiser’s character was crazy lucky doesn’t deserve to be with a woman.

I think it’s a little more conservative then some of the rest of Northern Virginia, but that may be just some people I know there, so may be just my bias. Reston is split between congressional districts, currently sends both a democrat and republican to the House, state reps are democratic. But yeah, only a half hour…

And why hasn’t the president called him a terrorist three times, and demanded he be treated as an enemy combatant and taken to Gitmo?

He didn’t do any of the work or thought, all he had to do is remember to scribble his name before he walked out of the room. There is no chance that he knows anything about it besides how much it effects his personal fortune, and that of his key donors. Whatever it does to anyone else, he’ll lie and say what he thinks…

I hope he forgets about the kid and Barron has a chance to grow up to be more normal. Trump’s not a good role model, the older three have certainly had too much of his influence.

DeVos is brother to Erik Prince. His resume is straight from Conservative Christian Bond Villain central casting, so her appointment may have been to curry favor with a very Rich Evil Weirdo who interned with Rohrabacher (Putin’s congressman) and has expertise in raising a secret army.

Some people seem to take pride in their ignorance. Hence the “I’m not a scientist” line is partly a hedge, partly a brag. Also, making settled science seem uncertain is a time honored lucrative tactic. It’s been used by polluters, oil companies, coal mine owners talking about safety, the tobacco industry and others,…
