It’s an endless stream of hot steaming shit. I have to balance reading the news with mindless happy thoughts.

Because he’s a collectible vinyl art toy?
(Seriously, I couldn’t begin to tell you.)

It’s the perfect Trumpian detail that he’s so pissed about the fake leak of a publicly available document that says, right at the top, that it’s a public disclosure form.

And this “He nobly refused release” is crap. Unless the NVA dumped him at the gates of a US military base, the military regs clearly say he couldn’t be accepted as a good will release because others had imprisoned longer. This is to prevent the exact kind of propaganda victory the North Vietnamese were trying to score…

From the fantastic profile done by Rolling Stone back in ‘08:

And in fact he was a lousy soldier, graduating at the bottom of his Annapolis class (which means flunking calculus and not turning in work, rather than being a rebel), getting wings he almost certainly didn’t qualify for, and dodging a well deserved grounding because he was Navy royalty. Most men don’t get a chance to…

I think about texts that way too, but I know other people don’t. Some friends get upset if you don’t reply right away. I know my dad gets pissed if I text him at what ends up being nighttime if he’s travelling. But I honestly just feel like if you can’t handle being texted at night, put your phone on DND. Your alarm…

You are so, so wrong on this. Full stop.

I, for one, am outraged that they have not passed any legislation yet with their complete minority.

For everyone that believes the pre-2000 narrative of John McCain as sensible “Maverick” I present this 2008 Rolling Stone profile when he was gearing up to run for president. Another poster linked it in a previous article and it is quite illuminating to say the least.

Sindragosa is an easy kill, though.

Well, if he thinks Alaska is in the northeast then south Texas must mean Japan.

I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some, uh, people out there in our nation don’t have maps and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in the Northeast...

“Some of the people that are opposed to this, there are female senators from the Northeast... If it was a guy from South Texas, I might ask him to step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style,”

Because “Unpossibleum” and “Vaporite” were already taken?

ah, but it seems PlatinumDoor was...as they were making a joke based on that definition...which made it strange that you were correcting them.

That’s not the way I learned it. You start with a city-state, then you clear out barbarians and send out colonists. Before you know it you’re developing nuclear weapons.

The idea of zero regulation sounds so appealing and fantastic...until you actually go to a minimal regulation system and quickly realize that, “oh yeah, there’s a reason that this regulation existed in the first place”.

Isn’t ether inflammable anyway?
