What the hell is going on with drivers out there?
Fri Oct 13, 2023, 11:17 AM LuckyCharms (16,266 posts) What the hell is going on with drivers out there? Went to a doctor's appointment this morning. On the way, I had to drive under this small underpass under some railroad tracks, go up a slight incline, wait, and then merge onto a two lane (one direction) highway. I merged from a dead stop into the right lane, and then had to merge to the left lane to get on another highway via a left exit. Nobody in the left lane.

We need to stop calling corporate profit gouging "inflation"
Response to Baltimike (Original post) Wed Oct 4, 2023, 09:29 AM Please explain how "corporate profit gouging" did this to the money supply: One either believes in reality or one does not. An alternative, I guess, is that reality is lying to you. But how does the money supply expand via "corporate profit gouging"? I was obviously asleep in class that day.

Grand plan for X vs Threads/Facebook--a further echo chamber for RW
just like Fuksnews/Newsmax, et al, the rigjt wing shrimking minority is continually pained when they are forced by normal reasonable people with opposing views. Gab, Truth Social are all flops. By Musk taking ofer Twitter, inviting in all the crazies and taking content moderation down to about zero, it is driving away sane people and giving RW a further way to spin up rumors and propaganda at scale and volume without people jumping in to edit their blatantly false statements.
Kraken and Cheese to be tried together and alone starting 10/23
Response to Tomconroy (Original post) Thu Sep 14, 2023, 10:32 AM (not a lawyer here) From how I understand Georgia criminal law, the defendant has the right to demand a speedy trial that, if invoked, means the court must select a jury and begin opening arguments no later than the end of the court term following the one in which the right was invoked.
Do bug zappers cut down on the biting insects? Not so much. But they kill helpful fliers, evidently
Tue Sep 12, 2023, 10:17 AM Beat the paywall with this link I can share with my WaPo subscription [link:https://wapo.st/3r6D1tR|] My nearly 70 years of personal experience, as a delicacy skitters and gnats love to bite, concurs with the scientific studies. Not fond of spraying on the DEET, but it is the only add-on that has ever worked for me. A box fan blowing on me when I pull weeds is the other effective method I have tried, and I have tried 'em all.
The most amazing thing happened to me at a car dealership yesterday.
Response to Mr.Bill (Original post) Sat Sep 9, 2023, 10:51 AM I had bought a Mazda 3 in 2012 and had all servicing done at the dealership for all scheduled maintenance, including new tires for over 4 years and was always treated well, good relations with the service advisors and they always got good reviews from me. Pleasant staff. So good that I traded it in for a Mazda 6 in 2016. Again great, great pleasant service until my 60K service.

Damn. Third of the country traveling this weekend. Not me!
Response to lindysalsagal (Original post) Fri Sep 1, 2023, 11:05 AM a-boat-trailer combos out there. Two were driving slow enough that the weekend would be over before they got there. The third was driving so fast, he was almost impossible to overtake. Really don't think someone hauling a boat should be hauling ass at the same time.

Brian Kilmeade Terrified A Bong Full Of Pots Is Going To Win The US Open
One of the courts at the US Open in New York smells like pot. Itís a thing many people have noticed. Itís not the first time Court 17 has smelled like pot. Apparently it smells like this every year. Nobody really thinks itís coming from the locker rooms or the stands or any tennis players secretly snorting reefer ganja devil herbs. They think itís wafting from the park next door, Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.

Hogan 'disgusted' most GOP candidates 'would put a convicted felon in the White House'
Fri Aug 25, 2023, 08:47 PM Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) said Thursday he was “embarrassed and disgusted” that most of the GOP presidential candidates said during Wednesday’s debate they would support former President Trump as their party’s 2024 nominee, even if he were convicted of a crime. “That was the low light of the entire debate,” Hogan said in an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash.

Well, after a week's long of trying to avert calamity with the GOBer part of my siblings
All went okay for the most part! My oldest sister would not even speak to me! She is biggest Trumpster of them all!

why does one person get to cripple the military?
Response to kentuck (Reply #2) Fri Aug 18, 2023, 12:18 PM since a tie would go to the vp for resolution (at least on legislation, not sure on rules, in which case it would be 50). Sinoma has already pissed in the cornflakes saying we should "negotiaite" on the issues. And you know what manchin would say. But if it's really 49 votes needed we can do it assuming everyone is healthy and can make it. They could make a temporary rule and pass all the nominations in a single vote.

China a 'ticking time bomb' because of economic woes, Joe Biden warns

Trump says he'll still run if convicted and sentenced, responds to security footage allegations
Response to Eliot Rosewater (Reply #1) Fri Jul 28, 2023, 03:42 PM 14. I disagree. There will be in my opinion enough to keep him out of office. He lost by over 7 million votes. About 60% or more of those 65 and older dying since the last election can't vote. They are likely Republicans. Republican vs Democratic ratio of young voters is lower than those 65 and older. Not everyone that voted for Trump in 2020 will vote for him in 2024. Especially Independents. It is over a year before the election.

Gloomy climate calculation: Scientists predict a collapse of the Atlantic ocean current to ...
Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions persist. This is the conclusion based on new calculations from the University of Copenhagen that contradict the latest report from the IPCC. Contrary to what we may imagine about the impact of climate change in Europe, a colder future may be in store.

Is Regional Bias a Productive Pursuit for the Democratic Party?
Wed May 10, 2023, 06:55 PM Among the many broad-brushes in our political culture, regional bias seems especially prevalent, as frustrations and desire for change often manifest as generalized condemnation of a state or region, often where democrats are working hard to swim against a red tide and turn their states blue. For consideration: Is this type of bias ultimately a productive pursuit for the Democratic party, or is it unnecessarily divisive and reductionist?

Fed. judge orders an evidentiary hearing in Mark Meadows' bid to remove his Georgia charges
Response to MagickMuffin (Reply #2) Wed Aug 16, 2023, 07:51 PM It is not easy to get this type of motion dismissed on a summary basis. TFG's motion on the document case filed in New York was weaker but there was still a hearing and an opinion from the judge confirming that the case would stay in state court. The good news is that while this motion is pending, the Georgia state courts are authorized by the statute to continue the state court proceedings.

... but it is my opinion. The People's Republic of China has often required Western countries that want to do business in China do so as part of a joint venture with a local Chinese company. Now this may have eased over the past few years but practically any major western brand that you know that may exist in China exists and trades there as a joint venture. Chinese companies haven't had those same restrictions imposed on them in the Western world.
Joe Biden: My Plan to Extend Medicare for Another Generation
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/07/opinion/joe-biden-medicare.html https://archive.is/gy7Rx By Joseph R. Biden Jr. Mr. Biden is the president of the United States. Millions of Americans work their whole life, paying into Medicare with every working day — starting with their first job, even as teenagers. Medicare is more than a government program.
