Means ~ Motive ~ Opportunity: [this is a comment I submitted after an eyerollingly-similar event a couple of months ago] "“Excuse me. You neglected to add ‘quotation marks’ to ‘jumps’. The telenovela plays out thusly: drunken tourist picks up good-looking woman in bar. Intoxicated foreign idiot takes her back to his hotel room, on the 9th Floor of his hotel. Going to be a hot time in the old town tonight. They get smoochy-smoochy. Knock on the door. Woman says ‘Excuse me - Room Service’ and opens door. Man enters briskly carrying tray and heads for balcony. ‘Hot stuff’. Stupid expat trails along behind to balcony, puzzled. ‘Waiter’ and woman each grab one leg and give expat the heave-ho over the balcony railing. Man rapidly loses hard-on as he heads, head-first, for the planet earth. So long, sucker.”

I got scorned and humiliated for posting a similar doubt about 18 months ago. "The shots are safe! They are effective! No conspiracy theories allowed on this group." It now seems that the window has cracked a bit, light shining in. Too many wounded (including mRNA-cripped medical personnel, which forces a natural surge of schadenfreude, and mRNA-crippled air crews, which is scary), Congress televising testimonies from legacy experts ...

Another sad sign that "...the party is over..." (written by someone first visiting in 1969)

I have a theory that there is an inverse - and unintended - relationship between the rise of recording, performance and broadcast technology and the degeneration of quality music. The most obvious example is the ear-shattering blare of rock, punk and their descendants, but you could also argue that the intellect and intent necessary to listen properly to classical music is simply too much mental effort for a dumbed-down populace unwilling or unable to expend the intellectual effort to appreciate what has gone before. I grew up in the 1950s loving Prokofiev, Shostakovitch, Berlioz and other greats from the 19th Century onwards. I'm not specifically referring to the classics in this intellectual exercise, either. Listen to some of the 1930s pop and jazz - the Coon Sanders Orchestra is a fine example, or Django Reinhardt later on - and it might well make you wonder what has been lost with the supremacy of technology. I am a great fan of lots of late 20th Century musical effort - Kraftwerk, The Residents, Nina Hagen, Qasim Naqvi - but am sincerely curious as to whether the listening public has not been beaten down by the power of the tech.

PROTIP: He's not President. His "presidency" ended months ago. He only holds command through martial law. So much for democracy. If he gives in the UkroNazis will shorten his lifespan considerably. He won't be able to enjoy that comfortable mansion in Palm Beach, on the US taxpayers' dime.

Baahh! Bumhug I mean humbug. (The photo clearly depicts illegals who swum over from Oz, to escape the well you-know-what.) (Whatever you do, keep off of my blue suede Wellington boots.) Baaa

Reading the headline, I was ready to read another putdown of elderly alcoholic deluded western men in Pattaya.

When the planetary pop soars past 8 billion, it should not be surprising to see less and less concern with the plight of the average earthling. Like those experiments with rats in a confined space. I've lived outside my country of birth over half my life. None of the places I've studied or worked at allowed me to freely cross their border, take up residence and go on the dole, as the nutty Euros and Gringos have done in the new Millennium. Yes, criminal "oil wars" are largely to blame, particularly when floods of Syrians, Afghanis and Venezuelans head across borders - but consider that to get to the Rio Grande or a luxury liner sailing across the Mediterranean (switch off sarcasm) you pay $5,000 > $15,000 per head. So much for the "starving waif" image. Many of the single military-age men waltzing into the Netherlands, Sweden and Germany were wearing expensive clothes and carrying iPhones. Countries enforcing border control (China ... Hungary ... Russia) look at this phenomenon as absolute insanity.

Utensils like forks and spoons are easily sharpened into lethal weapons.

"Critics, including some Republicans, warn against trusting Putin..." [cue sad laugh track] Kindly refer to the 20th/21st Century history of the Empire of Lies, most recently its promise not to extend NATO any further east of Germany, its "color revolutions" in countries bordering the Russian Federation, its unwarranted invasion and destruction of Iraq, Libya, Syria and what have I left out (Mossadegh in Iran), on behalf of its genocidal ZioNazi masters. If you want to know what's up with Ukraine just take a few minutes and check out the country-simple elaboration by Professor Jeffrey Sachs (a Jew, incidentally), on the web.

I'm a very heavy user, since the 1990s, and have had an extremely reliable experience with Lenovo. I replaced a power supply once (cheap) and recently paid for an overhaul - but this is a unit I have used many hours every day for the past four years. I've also found the Lenovo parts and service access to be superb (I'm in Indonesia). It's amusing because Lenovo purchased the ThinkPad business from IBM, and their laptops were real p.o.s. When I worked for the CEO at PT Semen Cibinong we bought three IBM laptops: one for him, one for his son ($7000!) and one for me to use. All had problems - the so-called "butterfly keyboard" on the unit I had was spongy and flimsy. The laptops were clear evidence of Big Blue's contempt for PCs. When they sold off the business to the Chinese I expected the brand would continue to sell crap. Happy to say I was dead wrong about that.

My God - that joke is an echo of a Spike Jones number in the 1940s. What goes round ...

Tremendous variation in strength and different content between batches of "vaccines" (proven over and over). Placebos mixed with the poisons (politicians flamboyantly rolling up their sleeves for the TV cameras), saline solution injections. Most sinister of all is the delayed effect, making it quite difficult to pin the blame on the mRNA when it took place several years before. Some people complain about immediate effects; others get the side effects within a matter of weeks. Still others will not show the myocarditis or pericarditis for several years. This provides deniability for the vax-cheerleaders. Small children never get the virus. Why give them a powerful gene therapy injection that was not subjected at all to the typical five- or ten-year scientific test? Follow the money.
