U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to block the opening of the Gordie Howe Bridge, poised to become the newest border crossing between Windsor, Ont., and Detroit.
The only thing I know about Gordie Howe is a “Gordie Howe hat trick” and it’s the perfect name for a bridge to America these days.
Essentially the story is angels were god’s original creations. Perfect beings built to serve.
But that was boring so god created humans and withheld knowledge from them, and commanded angels to serve at human’s beck and call, even tho the humans were complete idiots who lived a life of luxury free of any worry.
Lucifer was basically Prometheus and “tricked” humans into learning stuff.
Then God threw Lucifer, the humans, and a couple other angels out of paradise because humans weren’t dumb pets anymore.
And somehow that makes God the good guy in the story.
Personally it always seemed like God was a dick and Lucifer had our backs, but that’s why I didn’t have to keep going to CCD as a kid
You’re surprised that the more powerful someone is, the more they’re able to get away with?
Nothing is binary
I took a bio psych class that got into neurotransmitters and shit, the professor started almost every class with:
“Normal” is just the average, if anyone was exactly “normal” they’d be the weirdest most unique human ever
Because a lot of people get freaked out about their own when they start learning about psychology or genetics, smacking them together and teaching 20 somethings is a recipe for existential crisis.
Your brain is sorting people into binary groups because that’s an easy shortcut our brain uses for everything. But what’s normal at the gathering of the juggalos is weird almost everywhere else. It’s all subjective and there’s a lot more ways than one to be normal.
Maybe someone is 99.9999% “normal” but they peel hard boiled eggs with their teeth like a psychopath. You’d never know till you saw them do it, but it would instantly recategorize them in your head as “weird” without a second thought.
But everyone knows they’re actually a unique snowflake, so it’s common for people to feel like they don’t belong to just one group. When it’s that everyone has that level of uniqueness, it’s just too much for our brains to keep track of, so we throw labels on people and treat them as groups.
both Kazakhstan and the Kremlin are in possession of an incriminating video of U.S. President Donald Trump
Very nice…
Most people want to want for nothing…
But once that happens, then you start wanting the extra shit.
And humans are wired to never stop wanting extra shit, like through pretty much all of recorded history it has always taken a lot of work for someone to get to the point of wanting nothing once basic needs are met.
It’s something people devote literal lifetimes too, and still might not truly pull off.
Even if you meant it in a hyper pedantic way like seconds before death, they’d still all either want to live or want to die, the slice that truly wouldn’t care would be statistically insignificant
Eh, I disagree on both parts.
Lots of information out there, but it’s the equivalent of a Forrest full of virtually identical berries, 90% of which are poisonous.
And people are broke as fuck these days, you need wisdom to survive like that, and you earn it the hard way.
It’s just that when they have to devote so much energy to meeting their base needs, they can’t be assed to think about more abstract things.
Which is why the wealthy are never happy unless everyone else has nothing. When we’re comfortable enough to think ahead, we start asking why there’s any oligarchs to begin with. And their propaganda pitting us against each other isn’t as effective.
People are wise, you’re just judging fish by how well they can climb trees
It’s a big cliche and doesn’t work anywhere else…
But in Hawaii you can literally do anything you want on the road, as long as you throw up a shaka after.
If the rules aren’t enforced against them, then they absolutely do not apply to them
It’s not really a pedantic thing, but it kind of is.
The rules apply, if they didn’t they wouldn’t still give a fuck. They’d be having Epstein parties on the South lawn for everyone to see. If for no other reason than doing it in the open is more extreme than doing it in secret.
Currently consequences do not apply, because they’re not being held accountable.
But the rules do, or else they wouldn’t be hiding it. You think it’s shame that’s keeping trump from admitting all this shit? He’s afraid because there’s still a chance that consequences could show up, because the rules do still apply. They’re just not being enforced at this moment in time that’s not as long and ending as you seem to believe
It’s cute
Sorry, not interested.
You’ve never died either…
If you think that means you’re immortal, than you have consistent logic, but none of us should be listening to you…
The rules apply to them, it’s just no one is enforcing them. And since the oligarchs lost the DNC last year when the voting members finally picked a non-neoliberal chair, there’s not going to be anyone that can stop a progressive Dem from winning the primary, then the general, then actually enforcing the rules on the oligarchs
No sympathy for her, because she pretended not to know anything until someone else told everyone.
If she had blew the whistle as soon as she found out it woupd be one thing.
But she covered for child rapists until everyone else found out, and now is legit trying to pass it off as “crazy, right?”
If she knew and kept her mouth shut for whatever reason, then she’s an accessory at least after the fact
Fuck all these billionaires who think the rules don’t apply to them and their friends.
Over two and a half weeks, and what’s causing the issues is it’s starting to melt…
From the headline I thought it was a huge blizzard
It’s what they should have been doing right after the election
Like, they knew what was gonna happen
Not because Hollywood is full of rapists tho…
More likely because talking about Epstein’s connections to Mossad lead to people (even Tucker Carlson) being killed shortly after.

Like, everyone wants to act like the endgame was just raping kids, but they didn’t need an international ring for that. The ring existed to gather blackmail on the rich and powerful, and that black mail was/is being used to ensure the people responsible don’t get held accountable by any country.
The same reason we won’t hear the real story, is the same reason at the end of the day most countries do whatever Netenyahu asks of them.
That’s how blackmail works, you get them for a “small” thing, but every time they do something so you won’t release it, that gets added to the list of blackmail material. So be ause the pile of blackmail material keeps growing, you get the mark to agree to worse things.
The shit that happened on Epstein’s island was horrible, but if we ever find out what people agreed to do to keep it quiet it’ll be French revolution vibes.
Why do you think they targeted him?
Before Epstein the ring was run by Maxwell’s dad for the Israeli government, Epstein just inherited it.
There’s a reason Israel is the country everyone turns to for surveillance, they’re blackmailing the people making the tech.
Like, it’s easy to get hung up on the raping of children, but the real sick shit is what they were blackmailing them to do so the evidence wouldn’t get released. What do you think these people wouldn’t agree to just to keep the lid on what’s in the files?
Have you talked to a medical professional?
They give adrenaline blockers out like candy, because there’s no real downsides and it’s good for your heart long term.
Without adrenaline you won’t be “angry” as much as “annoyed”. Which doesn’t sound like that great of a fix until you realize anger often creates feedback loops leading to people looking for stuff to be angry about
I mean, pullups and running are very different…
Running you just need anything warm, nothing else matters. Pullups (outside in the winter?) you can’t sacrifice grip and should go with something like Mechanix gloves. Just enough to get a layer between you and the bar.
So really, the solution is two items.
If you really want one single solution, military surplus FROG gloves.
They won’t be as warm as mittens when running, but you’ll be able to easily get your sleeves over them to seal up and trap air. And they’re designed to deal with wet/cold as well as the fire resistance they’re named after so outdoor cold pullups should be fine.
But still won’t have the straight grip as Mechanix gloves, or the warmth of bulky gloves/mittens that would be useless for pullups.
It’s wild that the first generation to do LSD in mass
I want to say hippies were less than 1% of that generation, but for some reason I think it was recorded as 2-3% which would be a gross over-estimate.
But for every hippie you think of sticking daisies in rifles, there was 100 spitting on Black kids for going to the school they were legally required to go to.
It would be like if in 2080 they think we’re all catboys with blue hair and 37 facial piercings.
Sure, those people exist as a fringe demographic, but they’re not the norm.
Bmost hippies had more issues with peers their own age than their parents age, that part of the folk tale gets left out tho, because the people who want us to think they were hippies and “grew out of it” were the ones beating hippies for being different.
All they were ever trying to do was lie to younger generations in the hopes they’d confirm to decades old social norms. Like, it’s weird how many people still don’t understand the boomers just lie about shit instinctively. They grew up in a world filled with lead and are literally incapable of caring about logical inconsistencies. They want younger generations to think they were cool, so they just fucking lied about what they were like as a generation.
If you ever run into a real deal old hippie some day, ask them what the majority of people their age was like back then.
2k is 1440p.
720 doubles to 1080.
1080 doubles to 1140
1140 double to 4k.
Companies all skipped 2k for the most part because all consumers cared about was resolution. That’s why the jump to 4k took so fucking long, for the most part we skipped an entire resolution generation. So even with 4k, all the other stuff wasn’t caught up.
Pretty much the same thing happened with 4g, the telecom corps agreed on a set of requirements to say they’d reached a new generation, but the numbers needed to go up before the tech was ready, so they all agreed to just claim 4g arrived, that’s why there was so many different flavors of 4g.
The cautionary stories came about with the era of bored housewives who drank heavily and took pretty heavy prescription drugs…
But they were also wealthy so rather than say OD or suicide they “fell asleep” in the bath.
And I’m sure more than a few murders got wrote off as the same thing. A housewife that habitually passes out deeply could just got tossed in the tub.
Because like you said, no sober person is staying asleep till they drown.
But people hear the cover story and believe it, so they warn people about something that just won’t happen
