Doesn’t that happen at every Winter Olympics?

Do comments around here get disappeared or hidden if they get enough downvotes? If not, then I could give two fucks whether a comment gets 1 downvote or 100.

Totally open to the idea that something other than demolition took out the main towers, but there is no way those planes even loaded with fuel, caused both towers to collapse at almost freefall speed and almost entirely within their own footprint.

Lyndon Johnson (with a complicit Secret Service/TX law enforcement) had Kennedy assassinated because hated him and was obsessed with making sure he didn’t miss out on ever becoming president.

Bush didn’t just allow 9/11, elements of his administration were in on planning and executing it. I don’t believe that the towers would have fallen without demolition, it wasn’t a plane that hit the pentagon, and Flight 93 didn’t crash in Pennsylvania, the passengers never heroically tried to take over or stop Flight 93, and all of the cell phone calls that were supposedly made from the plane, were not, unless it was parked on the ground. Flight 93 had no airphone/seatphones, and the cell tower switching tech at the time would have required the plane to be flying very low for a call to even be made and even then, would have almost instantly dropped in any airliner flying at normal speeds back in 2001.

People say it’s a big, beautiful bear!

Dinner is around 2pm and the biggest meal of the day. Supper is around 7 pm.

Молодец, Володя! Пожалуйста, явись в ФСБ, чтобы получить следующее задание.

Gee, I wonder if the corporations will win these cases?

Yep. This is exactly why. It makes logical sense if they only thing that matters is profit. Several places that I worked would allow the public to come in and request these “about to be tossed.” items to take for free. You had sign up, provide ID, and come right at closing time, though, to do it. The employees were not allowed to do this for the reason rumba gave.

Goodbye, Discord. It’s been real.

Yoko Tawada’s next novel centers around a Japanese near future where all that is left of their civilization is a few thousand elderly Japanese and millions of robots that provide all the health care, farming, etc. that their society requires, but can no longer provide for themselves. The novel starts of with a prologue that begins just after that event which triggered Japan’s eventual descent into oblivion, February 8, 2026.

Let’s see Canada join BRICS+.

I guess I thought it would be longer before I saw openly vapid, grifitng, right-wing, cult of personality in the office of prime minister of Japan. SMH. I give it less than two years before reasonable Japanese wish their government hadn’t installed this clown as prime minister.

If Russia actually had the manpower and hardware to overwhelm Ukraine and achieve their objectives, they would ahave done so years before now. They are stalling. The west could end this whole conflict relatively quickly if they wanted to. Simply sever all diplomatic AND economic ties with Russia and with any country that doesn’t do exactly the same. China and India would fall in line almost instantly and Putin’s efforts would collapse like a house of cards.

So, about 5% of the number of Russian conscript casualties?
