@shibao @sun It's not all that bad even now. Machete attacks are concerning though. Time to buy a Cybertruck. -

It was the same for my wife, because she didn't have any money, being on an H-4. In the end, she's never had a bank account. But she writes all the checks for us. -

How about another moment.
I once was descending from Mt. Diablo by a narrow winding road, and a cyclist with a trailer decided to race me. I had my family in the car. Of course, I let him go. Imagine my surprise when a mile ora km down I found him laying on the side of the road with his head cracked under his helmet. Fortunately, the trailer's cage protected his toddler. I was so close to a ruinous lawsuit, or maybe prison, I still fill a chill just remembering that. Imagine if that cyclehole crashed in a close proximity ahead of my car.
Cyclists should be gassed. I'm so disappointed to hear that Moonman was one of them.
BMX is kinda rad though, won't lie about that. -

Well duh. It's a top-down crisis of competency. They can't even shoot Trump from 100 meters away. But this is how the machine used to work, I provided the testimony.
The ultimate result in my daughter's case was this: she spends her time sitting in her pajamas, abusing her worthless underlings remotely, and sharing the hate of Reagan on Tumblr all day long. She graduated from a college that had 90% job acceptance rate and worked in the field where she majored. But that's where she ran out of steam. -

@sun @lain I did all of that. One time we traveled for a gifted youth camp in JHU in Baltimore, where a homeless badgered me until I gave him $20 (because I had a small girl in tow, I could not try him out). Another time we sent her on a gifted youth cruise at a sailboat, and she returned with lice. -

@sun @lain About training worker bees, I saw something else as my kids were growing up, although it might've not been the case for you. Every step of the way, every teacher or counselor aimed to separate kids into two groups: "sheeps" and "leaders". They focused heavily on identifying leader candidates, and then fostering them. Everyone who failed selection was dumped into a worker bee class. By the high school time it takes one glance at the admission statement to tell who was in and who was out. The process was egalitarian, although parents who were conscious about it could prime the child for passing. The "leaders" were taught to dominate the worker bees effectively. -

In addition, all major currencies are experiencing a higher inflation than the U.S. Dollar. Yen floated around 100 per for 50 years or so, and it's flirting with 50 now. It's insane. So much tears were spilled about bidenflation and yet everyone else is shafted even harder. Of course, they want dollars in this situation. -

@sun @feld The interesting part of that video was that the money bags are gradually coalescing around Kamala.

@lain @SNEK @sun @eris It's worse than grandpa recently. He's been talking to invisible people and shaking invisible hands. I think he's so juiced that he cannot understand anymore when he's on a green screen and when he's live. Just living in a drug-fueled nightmare. -

@sun @anemone @Hyolobrika I don't see how any doubt is possible that national service is introduced as a step to draft. It's not a slippery slope at all, it's a measured progression. It's like how gun registration precedes confiscation.
In addition, U.K. is the most crazy with Russophobic madness in Europe (for certain values of "in"), been for many years. They really itch for a full-on war. Worse than Polaks even. They 100% rely on dragging the U.S. into it again. That is the context that makes them push for a draft no matter what. -

@sun It's usually more complicated.
I knew my wife since 1983 but we got together in a shotgun marriage in 1988.
A friend of mine lost his wife of some 20 years to a disease (cancer IIRC). Then he got married to his high school passion who apparently waited all those years.
My father only dated his 2nd wife for about a year. She's much younger than my mother.
I voted for "1 year" as a stand-in generic. -

@sun He wants to measure it against the beginning of the Biden's presidency, in which case this is an improvement, at least in macro. Certainly neither Trump's prosperity nor Biden inflation bubble can hold a candle to the 1959. -

This is a fairly interesting article if you consider interesting the struggle of the ruling class to gaslight people who hold 3 jobs in order to pay rent.
"This is perhaps Biden's top problem as he seeks a second term in office: convincing Americans that the economy is working for them without talking down or sounding dismissive."
A super hard job, I sympathize.
"Another challenge for Biden is that many Americans are probably comparing today's US economy to the economy in 2019. On that basis, yes, inflation is worse now, gas prices are higher, and there are unnerving wars in Europe and the Middle East."
How terrible.
"There’s a good chance the economy would have looked more or less the same from 2017 to 2021 if Biden were president instead of Trump. Same for the last three years, if Trump were in office instead of Biden."
.. remember this argument, because:
"Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine sent energy prices soaring just as the OPEC+ nations were cutting output and American drillers were focusing on profitability over market share."
But why did the old prices soar? Because -
1. Biden's response was to sanction Russia and reduce oil supply. It was a decision, not an inevitable consequence of Russia losing patience with NATO expansion.
2. Biden denied licenses to American oil exploration companies. They focused on profitability because they were denied expansion by a decision.
Do they really think we're this stupid, I wonder. -

The top comment:
"I think the widely publicized macro numbers are good. It's the subsurface numbers that are troubling, at least for the common consumer. Personal bankruptcy filings are up, home foreclosures up, business bankruptcy filings are up, auto repossessions up, personal savings rate down, and credit card delinquencies up." -

One part about Blinken's visit to Kiev jumped out at me the most: all the conservative NPCs criticized his poor guitar skills, and none noticed that the song he was performing was about mocking Bush 41.
A stunt like that used to be unthinkable for a Secretary of State. He could hate Republicans as much as Obama, but the domestic politics were supposed to stop at the border. A cabinet level executive of U.S. Government represented America, not the Democrat Party abroad.
This sort of corruption of our institutions is nothing new to me. Remember how Obama presented Queen of England with a DVD set? Everything is shit, and Blinken is a piece of shit, and America voted for it. So I'm not going to seethe here too hard. But it's funny how far we've fallen.
