Why do I wanna take advice from this asshole? It pisses me off when people try to use their celeb status to dupe average citizens into buying into crypto -- no matter how they try to dress it up as cryptotainment or games or exclusive films or whatever. It is all junk. It tends to be well paying ju...

I had to look that one up. I had not heard he was speaking to a women's conservative group over the weekend when he claimed you need an ID to buy bread. Absurd. You would think at least one person in attendence had purchased bread in the last week. Why no one in the audience challenged him is beyon...

So she scolds 'both sides', but is still happy to participate in obstructionism and not cross the isle to work with democrats?

Yeah, it is easy to go fast when you are strapped to a rocket several times your size.

I'm all for personal responsibility, and honestly, I believe if someone willingly takes a loan and then simply decides not to pursue their studies, they shouldn't expect forgiveness. But if someone's been misled or taken advantage of, that's a different ball game. And a rather critical piece : most...

I read a story years back that a gun at a range decided to demonstrate that a particular model assault rifle he had with him could be made full auto by use of a shoe string.... There was an off duty ATF agent there that day, the guy ending up doing a nickel for possession of an unregistered machine...

What are these dickheads gonna do next, forced conversion therapy? Well, that is what they are upset about. Conversion theory where they could force minors into such programs was bit by bit getting banned, so if they are on a winning streak, expect them to try to push things past their old level of...

There are repbulicans in congress who are guilty of the very things they are accusing President Biden and worse. Their ethical system is keyed to who, not what. Much of their moral outrage is rooted in activities common in their communities and they are upset that less worthy people are doing it to...

Joe Biden is not paying Iran $6 billion. A deal to release prisoners held in Iran allows blocked Iranian assets to be transferred out of South Korea. read more details here https://thefogbow.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=215630#p215630 These are people who believe history should freeze when they are wi...

“If you restrict guns from responsible gun owners then only criminals will have guns.” Well, where do you think the criminals get them from? Or for that matter, how do you think people become criminals? Open carry generally increases gun crime, and most of the people doing the shooting were not pre...

INORITE? It was only a few years ago, and everyone has already forgotten who was holding the reins during a million Covid deaths. Hint: It wasn't Dems. Yeah, but in their narrative, Trump was doing all the right things but was constrained by all the deep state jews who were really pulling the strin...

I can not see them as victims, only consumers who set demands and are given exactly what they want. Facts are irrelevant, all they care about is the story being told, how it makes them feel, and where it puts them in the world. Same reasons people are drawn to all sorts of mythologies/theologies.

I LOVE this. I need to dig out my "Self-rescuing Princess" T-shirt. I once saw a meme with 4 pictures on it: A picture of young Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia next to one of an older Carrie Fisher as General Leia. Underneath that was a picture of young Robin Wright as Buttercup from "...

I was more thinking it smells of opportunity. Tie in the narrative of one of the biggest right wing boogie men? Fundraising gold.

older, may be duplicate Over the course of three weeks in April and May last year, the center called the Agency for Health Care Administration – the Florida bureau that regulates abortion – more than a dozen times, trying to get information about the 24-hour law, according to court records and note...

Use the magic words 'national security'. You can seize pretty much anything you want with that, provided you can handle the political fallout.

The biography, due out on Tuesday, alleges Musk ordered Starlink engineers to turn off the service in the area of the attack because of his concern that Vladimir Putin would respond with nuclear weapons to a Ukrainian attack on Russian-occupied Crimea. And he’s the leader of what country or interna...

I love the idea of moving or closing AL bases. More, I wish there was something Biden could do over his head. Who does this freshman think he is? The military has never hesitated to throw its weight around when someone 'disrespects it', it would be nice if they did it now. Oh, but I forgot, only 'l...

The twitterers who say they want one want it for the novelty or to get attention. None of them wants a working truck. Meanwhile, if’n I see one I’ll be snickering. I can hear my dad saying, “That guy got took.” 'Working truck' is not the whole market though, and despite the twueism not everything i...

That's what parents are supposed to do; stand behind their child in any decision they make No, parents are supposed to make sure their kids aren't making stupid decisions. Far too many parents let their kids run the show, to the detriment of everyone, parents, kids, teachers, society at large. I th...

I think of the customer base for the Cyber Truck as the same people who rushed out to buy Zima "clear beer" and the people who, back in the day, thought they looked cool in their leisure suits when hitting the disco. Hrm. I was never into Zima or leisure suits, but I admit that if it was ...

I think this whole 'one officer is there, situation is being handled in a deescalated and mindful way -> other officer shows up, situation escalates to arrests or death' is a fascinating example of the consequences of honor culture. When it is just one person, they have a lot of leeway. But once oth...

Huh. I would have expected 'households'. I wonder if it is a regional thing?

Branched from the same community? Crypto is a culture, and it tends to be pretty right wing libertarian.

Probably for the same reason Catholics adore the crucifix. He wants the martyr. I think a more apt comparison would be with evangelicals, who have really latched on to the image of being persecuted... some idea that since the Romans persecuted Christians (and apparently in their telling only Christ...
