Russia has a long habit of hyping military systems and even inventing bullshit systems. They do not have 40 megaton warheads. Nor are they building them. They can’t even afford them. Nor can they afford many of these shiny new missiles, mostly because they have the GDP of Italy.

Refusing to engage seems to be the modus operandi of your whole little movement. Which is why he was crushed. It is why Sanders has fewer legislative accomplishments in a quarter century than Elizabeth Warren has in her term.

Counterpoint: Israel, Poland and the UK have proportional parliaments and all 3 have done either profoundly dumb or or utterly frightening things in the last few years because coalitions between extremist parties can overpower moderates and centrists.

Your rebuttal is from fucking May? Talk about old bullshit.

Bernie Sanders spent his whole campaign talking about a revolution, but he did less than shit to help elect foot soldiers to congress or the states. Bernie can go fuck himself with his uselessness. It takes more than one old man’s rants to fix America.

Counterpoint: his brother died of an overdose and Donald (allegedly, I can find pics of him toasting but not imbibing) doesn’t even drink as a result. As far as I can tell, his feelings for his brother are the closest thing to human emotions he’s actually experienced. Not that you can tell, what with the compulsive…

1) Atmospheric distortion is not noise, unless you’re counting all limits to diffraction as noise. In which case you’re the only one calling it that.

Long exposures even out photon noise, indeed thats the whole point, so I’m not sure what you’re referring to when you say “atmospherics”.

Seriously old views? Sure, if this past January is “seriously old”.

Ah, an MD. Everyone thinks you people make out like bandits, but half your friends make more per hour than you do (before factoring in liability insurance and med school loans) and they get the luxury of a 9 to 5 instead of 80 weeks with on-calls.

Having a toxic asshole for a friend is an entirely separate issue and one that goes beyond my intents here. And I don’t think you need me to tell you how to handle that situation.

The last thing you should do if someone prods at your income is “call them on it”. You will not avoid sounding pretentious. Enjoying the fruits of your hard work? Because I dont work hard?

Actually, not really. Neither candidate receives much/any carried interest. Which is a big reason why Trump is in favor of taxing it. He doesn’t pay it, but all the snooty Wall St guys that are too good to be seen with DJT (from his perspective) will be hurt by it.

RE: Psychopass. The arbitrary nature of the PP number is a feature not a bug. If you only got 3 eps in you might not have got to that point. But it is purposely unjust.

Cleveland? Seriously? I mean, I’m the first to admit NYC ain’t all that, but Cleveland?

Give it 4 years when Pence tries running at the top of the ticket. By then Trump will be as hated by the base as Romney is now, because both committed the cardinal sin of losing to a Democrat. Once that happens the armor stops working.

To be fair to you, they only put like 3 dozen oreos in the packages these days. A person could kill that while watching a a movie.

As are you, no doubt, with your fresh burn right out of 2006.

I loved Cottonmouth (and the actor since House of Cards) but it was pretty obvious from the get-go that he was out of his depth. He couldn’t handle the robbery of the gun shipment, never mind Luke.

Honestly, anything after the retaliatory launch is academic. Curtis LeMay is dead. Nobody tries to win WW3 anymore. Either deterrence works, or we’re all fucked anyway.
