Something that really impressed me with Bernie was that in 2015 he gave a speech at Liberty University.

Liberty is the among the most conservative of conservative “Christian” colleges. As surprised as I was that they allowed him to speak, I was more surprised that Bernie went. I was raised in Christian fundamentalism. I know how hard it is to break down the barriers between you and people who belive you’re going to hell for A.) Being Jewish, and B.) supporting ‘baby murderin’.

That’s a wide gap but he tried to bridge it anyway and find common ground. I thought he did a damn good job. He showed more backbone than any other major player in the democratic party when everyone else thought it was a waste of time to talk to anyone who isn’t a “swing state” voter.

It was one of the reasons I voted for him twice. It was clear that Bernie was/is interested in the welfare of all Americans and that he wanted to be president for all Americans. Even ones he might have significant ideological differences with. The Democrats can’t whine about their dwindling support when they’re too chicken shit to go talk to people in Red states. Trump is and will contibue to be a collosal failure as president, but he proved one thing for certain. The days of the “safe” candidate being a winning bet are gone.

Forgiving my dad. He was a terrible father but he’s a good grandpa. We made amends and I’m glad to have him in my life.

And boy are they hungry.

Chronic lead poisoning at an early age is a hell of a drug.

Definitely more common in suburban areas with more single family homes or places with larger apartments.

That said, having to drag all your laundry down to the laundromat or building laundry is very inconvenient and sucks up a lot of time. I don’t miss that at all.

God: Go tell Joseph I did it.

Gabriel: Yeah… It was God.

Joseph: Oh… Uh… Well Ok then.

Gabriel: And you’re gonna be cool about it.

Joseph: Yep. I’m cool. It’s all good. We’re cool.

To be fair, Windows has huge, maybe even unreasonable, demands placed on it for backward compatibility due to corps not wanting to dump their 30 year old legacy software. And to Microsoft’s credit, they actually manage to do that pretty well while maintaining a reasonably stable OS. Most of the time, anyway.

The increasing interest in using Windows as a conduit for ads and data collection is what they really chafes me and is the primary reason I’m slowly moving away from Windows.

I had to sign up for a business account because of Cox’s data cap. Sadly they’re my only option and they suck ass.

Like playing Russian roulette with five live rounds.

eBay if I can wait a few days, otherwise O’Reilly’s.

Horsepower is a very rough “average” of work output over a given period of time. It doesn’t really account for spikes in load. For that we’ll have have to consider the torque. So the real question is, how many foot/pounds or newton/meters does OP need to handle 10 gigs of throughput?

That’s the real danger in my opinion. Trump is probably a malignant narcissist. Everything he does, he does for himself and his very thin skinned ego. This is sort of balanced out but he fact that he’s a moron and is easily manipulated. But, there are people right on his coat tails who are straight up malevolent and do things because they enjoy watching others suffer.

As bad as Trump is, it may get much worse after he’s gone and leaves a crater sized power vacuum in the GOP.

I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.

Trump should absolutely lower the price of evertyhing. Pressure the federal reserve to hike the prime rate to 25%, push us straight into a depression, and watch just how fast the price of eggs and gas plummets.

I mean, lower prices are the most important thing apparently and since the majority of Americans want that at all costs, this strategy should be ok with them, right?

You’re not wrong. I’m just saying, I would enjoy the Schadenfreude more if I didn’t have to be part of the shit show.

Ha! No. Get ready for a lot of crying when we get to the “find out” part. Shouldn’t take us very long.

Am American. Can confirm. In general, we are dumb as shit.
