Yeah, you got me. I’m not sure if this was a voice to text error or just me being stupid, but it was probably just me being stupid. Fixed.

There are two types of movie going experiences. One where you want the audience to be perfectly quiet and just get absorbed into the movie experience… And the other where audience participation is a big part of the thrill. If you go to an opening night showing, it’s typically the latter, especially for Blockbuster or cult favorite. Both types of experiences are good, but some of my most memorable movie experiences were loud cheering for the hero, people making comments, audience participation showings.

No, no they didn’t. I’ve been through a number Republican presidents… Well 3 others … And not one of them was said to be a threat to democracy, not one of them was said to be a threat to the rule of law, and not one of them was it questioned whether they would leave office if they lost election.

It is a bullshit statement to say Trump is a standard Republican and what Democrats are saying is just hyperbole, and this is what they always say. The only way you can possibly think this is if you’ve only been exposed to Trump presidencies.

In-n-out french frys dipped in their vanilla shake. I got my kids to love it too. My wife still thinks I’m crazy.

They’ll be allowed back in the White House, but they’ll be put in the “special reporter zone” that is two rooms away from the press briefings with Fox News playing on max volume.

He’ll champion women’s rights. Trump always picks the worst person for the job.

I’m kind of surprised that all the institutional investors haven’t bailed already. It doesn’t take much to look at the fundamentals of Tesla and realize it’s all smoke and mirrors. The emperor has no clothes and the stock is 10 times more expensive than it should be.

I’m a liberal, what the fuck are you on about?

It’s crazy how few times in an average man’s life he gets real compliments on clothing or looks. It happens so rarely most of us can tell you about the times even when they’re 20 years ago.

So… Over the phone doesn’t count? Texting doesn’t count? Email? Those don’t count? I would think that in this day and age texting would be the normal way to ask a girl out for a first date.

You know it’s REALLY hard for someone not super social to ask a girl out in person. I’m 50 and i think I’ve never asked a girl out for a first date in person… But then again, I am an introverted nerd so that’s probably to be expected. Hell, I asked the girl I ended up marrying out over email…

I’m glad, but I’m still pretty damn irritated that we’re all seemingly “ok” with the fact that we just have “liberal” and “conservative” judges.

The thing I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older is that the difference between liberal and conservative in the US is almost more a question of how we think rather than what we think. When I was younger I thought it was simply that conservative people had one set of values and liberals another, but that’s flat out wrong.

The way information is presented to a conservative in their media is much different from how information is presented to a liberal is their media. This leads to a difference in how people think (or maybe the difference was there to begin with and they self selected their media of choice). Try having a conversation with a person of the opposite political persuasion, it’s really hard because you both try to convert the argument to your own structure. Both people end up arguing over the structure more than the issue because once the structure has been agreed upon, the topic almost answers itself.

Once you realize that “liberal” and “conservative” is the way someone thinks and not just if they root for team R or team D, it’s much easier to come to terms that judges are “liberal” or “conservative” at a more intrinsic level.

You’re right, it isn’t. It’s just already been enshrined into law so they keep using them.

If it translates to massively less Tesla sales, then it means something. Tesla’s valuation is so stupidly high because of musk. The big financial institutions are betting on him because they’ve done very well by him in the past. If tesla crashes and burns hard enough, his toxicity will spread to all his other ventures as well and his bullshit smart guy persona will be left in the dust.

I’m not against Jews, I’m against Israel. It appears that the lesson they learned from the Nazis is how to commit atrocities.

It’s projection. It’s always projection.

He wants to steal some valor from Zelensky.

Don’t worry, this number will go down very shortly. Oh, not because we’ll stop the spread, but because these morons will fire all the people in charge of tracking why all the kids are dying.

xAI is 80 billion? That’s a load of shit.

And protesting against Israel.
