Bernie Sanders Sparks a Progressive Surge After Democratic Defeat
impulse replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Are you insinuating he's an oligarch? If you are, you wouldn't be too far from the truth. Flying around in private jets to call out oligarchs. Hypocrisy at its finest. -
Report New Covid-19 Variant NB.1.8.1 Gains Ground in Thailand
impulse replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News
Here's the experiment I always suggest. Hack up a big lugey and spit it as far as you can. Then, try that with a mask on. The masks can't stop a virus. But they can stop the big lugeys the viruses hitch a ride on. -
Report Thailand Ramps Up Covid Drug Production Amid Rising Cases

Goddam. I'm a wingnut conspiracy fan and I'm even vaccine injured, but I still have to shake my head at this crap. -

The USA is in desperate need of a 3rd Party. But I'm not sure Bernie is the one I'd trust to lead it. And I know I wouldn't trust AOC. -
Could be he just got tired of seeing lefties burning Tesla dealerships.

Some bimbo will be along soon to accuse him of sexual assault. Of course, it won't be true. But it'll shut him up. That's how the lefties rock. Edit: Or they'll find a photo of him waving at someone and accuse him of doing a Nazi salute. That works, too.

Are high end smartphones worth the money (to you)?
impulse replied to impulse's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
They're getting better. Used to be they were great on paper. Fast. good specs. etc. But they fell apart on OS and longevity. Nowadays, I'd go with one, but after researching the reviews. They still step out and let the public do the beta testing on some stuff, so I'd wait for the reviews to roll in on the newest models. It's kinda like I remember how bad the reputation of Japanese products were when I was a kid. Nowadays, they're great. That's the trajectory of the Chinese tech. -
Musk: Kiss Your Social Security Goodbye, Grandma!
impulse replied to SiSePuede419's topic in US & Canada Topics and Events
I'm appalled that it took a Big Balls to address such obvious database issues. Even if very few of them actually got benefits, how do you forecast future needs if the data is that fooked? -

And if grandma is a Civil War widow, that's a no, too. -
Accident Road Crash in Chonburi: Cyclist Killed by Family on Trip
impulse replied to Georgealbert's topic in Pattaya News
Such a sad story. Getting run over is always one of my concerns on a bicycle, whether in Thailand or China or Texas. For the car driver's sake, I hope he had a dash cam. Or rather, for the sake of the truth, I hope there was a dash cam. I guess they can also be used against bad drivers. I started using them when the tech became ubiquitous. I worked in Thailand at the time. -

I'll admit I'm in the wingnut fringe, but it seems to me that most of the newer zoomier features are designed to benefit someone other than the phone's owner. They scrape up more data, sell it to more entities, and generally make it easier to separate we owners from our money. Last month in Thailand (YT is blocked here), I downloaded a YouTube called something like "Own a new Samsung phone? Make these privacy changes immediately". I was gobsmacked at the privacy invasions I had not opted out of because I didn't know they were that deep into my jammies. Rant over... But don't even get me started on the auto industry and their data gathering. Same tech, sold to us as "improvements". But they can basically shut down your car anywhere, for whatever reason they (or the nanny states) decide on. -
Fatalities and 200 vehicles burned up? Is that a normal football riot? I'm wondering if there's some undercurrent that the MSM isn't willing to discuss. The right wing media is reporting it's the "usual suspects" (African migrants). But is that true?

That's a false statement and a disingenuous comparison in one post. Congratulations on that efficiency. First, Hitler was very public about his desire to exterminate the sub humans in the East to make room for the German Master Race. So had the Soviets laid down their arms, they would have been exterminated anyway. Your claim that "tens of millions would have survived" doesn't pass the sniff test of history. They'd have been dead of high velocity lead poisoning or starvation or the cold. And comparing Russia's current actions to a war of extermination for living space doesn't ring true either. If the Ukrainians in Donbas lay down their arms and accept reality, they'll wake up tomorrow, go to work at the same jobs, and just sing a different national anthem. There will not be gulags or extermination camps or einsatzgruppen. Just a different flag on the pole. In fact, the ones in Donbas already have. (And even voted that way.) It's the idiot in Kiev that's feeding their youth into the meat grinder.
