https://babylonbee.com/news/white-house-says-there-is-no-direct-evidence-that-hunter-biden-exists "It's a shame we didn't start questioning the notion of this 'Hunter Biden' fiction a long time ago," said Meet The Press anchor Chuck Todd. "How could we have been so blind to the deep deception of the far-right? The whole thing was a hoax! This is an attack on democracy.

Healthy people don't spend as much on pharmaceuticals, so I'm not seeing that happening...

Nah, It's an entirely expected reaction to woke PC liberal policies. If you take the bad orange man out of the picture, what American would disagree with Make America Great Again? PC liberals...

I don't claim, nor aspire to be Thai. But I worked with several dozen who were extremely competent. I'd give a Thai a much better chance of succeeding in a western company than I'd give a westerner to succeed in a Thai company. Edit: You know how to get an extremely competent Thai to come work for your company? You offer them 1/4 of what you'd have to pay a marginally competent westerner to fill the same role. Instead of 1/8, like most western companies seem to try...

Maybe with a doll and a pointer...

I always love the guys who run down Thai thinking. If you put a Thai guy, an Indian guy and a western guy in a room with just one $100 bill, I don't know which will end up with the money But I know who won't. The western guy.

You must love the JEATH museum in Kanchanaburi. Though I prefer the Aussie run museum for WW2 details, I was astounded at the JEATH museum's collection of coins and notes and other Thai antiquities. I suspect it's politically incorrect to even ponder, but I couldn't help but wonder how much they could get for their collection.

Volume... Sure, they lose some money on each and every ticket, but they make it up in volume.

Danish tyranny doesn't worry me at all. The WEF scares the crap out of me.

Kind of like telling homeless people they just need to buy a house... Problem solved.

"You will own nothing and you will be happy" is the brainchild of Danish Politician Ida Auken in a 2016 essay for the World Economic Forum (WEF) Is that specific enough?

So what happens if your toaster starts smoking when you're away?

I recall watching several interviews with "modern women" asking what they demand in a man. The criteria they came up with put their minimally acceptable man in the top 1 or 2% in terms of earning capacity and height. And although these women were cute, they were not in the top 1% by looks or how they came across in their interviews for personality. Some of them not even in the top half...

You will own nothing and you will be happy. As an individual, I'm sure they couldn't give a rat's butt about me. But they sure seem to have plans for "humanity" as a whole cash cow.

10 years ago, who would have thought it even possible that your bank account would be frozen for participating in a very popular protest? Wingnut conspiracy theory, or spoiler alert? Getting harder and harder to tell.

And that's Peterson's prevailing message. Quit looking at the externals and focus on getting your own life in order. Then (and I'm paraphrasing here) screw anyone who says you're not good enough.

Except he wasn't crying for himself. He was showing empathy for the 95% of guys who get swiped left in the new reality. Kind of like I cry at a funeral even if I barely knew the deceased. It's empathy for other people's loss.

30 years ago, long before woke, it was described similarly. In both big cities and small towns, 99% of the people are decent and law abiding and 1% are scumbags. In big cities, 99% of the people live in fear. In small towns, it's 1%. I grew up in Chicago, and now I live in a small redneck town on an island in Texas. Give me rednecks, any day of the week. And I'm an agnostic, with a mechanical engineering degree and a yankee accent. (Or so I'm reminded)

I love Joe Rogan as an interviewer. He asks a question, then shuts up. I'm also a big fan of JP. Here's another great Peterson excerpt.

Even 5% of 1.5 billion people is a lot of butts on airplane seats. And a ton of money for Thai vendors who have learned how to cater to them. They dump a bunch of money in Thailand, but not on the same stuff that western tourists do.

Once again, you're confusing debunked with squelched. 55% of Repubs (along with the 54% of Dems) believed going into the election that it was probably or definitely going to be rigged. Why would they have a different belief afterward? I don't claim to know if the shenanigans were sufficient to skew the results. I'm even open to any evidence that shows the reason Trump is so angry is because he didn't get his money's worth. But don't try to gaslight me into believing that there were no shenanigans. No late night vote counting, no ballot mules, no dead voters, no vacant lots receiving hundred of ballots.... Edit: I'd add that any long time Repub with presidential ambitions is probably beside himself pissed off that Trump has derailed his/her plans for 3 election cycles. So I'm not surprised that there's Repubs that would prefer to see him go away.

The thick plottens. Landis claims he put the bullet on the president's stretcher, but it was found on Connally's stretcher. He spotted the bullet after the motorcade arrived at the hospital, and put it on the stretcher carrying the president. He now guesses Mr Kennedy and Mr Connally Jr's stretchers somehow collided, meaning the bullet was shaken from one to the other. https://news.sky.com/story/jfk-assassination-magic-bullet-theory-cast-into-doubt-by-ex-secret-service-witness-12960275 That strains credulity. Like so many other facets of the event, leadup to it, and investigation of it.

Had a friend of mine who returned from a trip to the USA thoroughly impressed that they have toilet paper in the ladies rooms. Strangely, nobody nicks it there. Closer to the OP topic, a lot of my favorite restaurants had sauces so popular they now do a booming business selling the sauces. Some just take-away, but many sell them through the supermarkets.

The left hand is asking whether you should pay for condiments while the right hand is praying you don't notice that it's already over 20 GBP for fish and chips.

What does that have to do with a judge who has already (and on many occasions) shown extreme prejudice against a defendant recusing herself from a trial?
