That's hilarious (in a Darwin award kind of way) if it's actually a legitimate video. Something about the way the kid blows offscreen looks a bit suspect though.

Pretty sure I've ranted more than once about various forms of telemarketing in the USA. Is this a USA-only sort of thing, or do people who live in other countries experience the joy of people trying to wrangle (con) money out of you over the phone on a regular basis?* --- *I'm guessing the answer i...

Our air force has suddenly started shooting down "UFO's" on a regular basis. One they later identified as a balloon carrying cameras and allegedly belonging to the Chinese government. They're tight-lipped on details about the others so far. It's a tough time to be a balloon. One thing that is notic...

Hersh theory seems plausible. After all, somebody did it. And unless the Russians self sabotoged (not sure why they would) it would have to be some NATO bigwig country. Most likely the US. I'd love to see Russians actually call the US on the carpet about it. But they won't. The last thing Russia wan...

I don't agree with Peterson on the child issue. His reasoning seems shallow in this case (it's basically - hey, it's what people have always done). In an ideal world (one which was not already over-populated) then I would say it would be great if everyone had exactly two children per couple (one to ...

This, of course, is why war and conflict can deepen corruption. Ukraine is fighting for its existence as a state, so, naturally, that’s the priority above all else. Government resources, attention, and funding all go to mobilizing for that, which means anti-corruption efforts and rule of law reform...

I would say that I'm concerned about Ukraine finding itself once more pulled in the direction of authoritarianism. That's typically what happens to countries embroiled in forever wars, and there are already signs that the Ukrainian government is both signing itself up for debt to forces that would ...

It wouldn't affect me any, but I can see how translation could be at risk if it gets good enough. But I guess there are AI translators out there already, no idea of this thing is any better. Nick Cave isn't happy. ChatGPT wrote a song in his style apparently, he was not impressed. Makes me wonder if...

Show that you're something other than a bloodthirsty old warmonger cheering for younger men to be sent their deaths from the comfort and safety of your home.

I see, you aren't trying to makes sense, just trolling. Carry on.

Lmao, now apply this logic to the war machine you've been rooting for like it's Monday Night football. Spoiler alert: you won't. You're both warmongering bootlickers arguing in bad faith. And simping for literal Nazis at that. Disgusting. I can't even make sense of your argument it is so daft. Lite...
