@cjd the word "control" means incoming disaster, unless the word "self" is directly in front of it and "lack of" is nowhere present

@cjd I hope it does. Governments everywhere are jumping the shark when it comes to command and control over the masses.
They are already to far along the path to collect the knowledge necessary to abuse their power.

@sun @7666@comp.lain.la @vriska @zaitcev we are funding it with DEBT. Every program has its backers and 1.85 billion for what it does, hardly seems frugal. And much of it would be provided by private enterprise

@sun @vriska @zaitcev Sure, anybody who wouldn't want to plunge future generations into ever increasing debt to pay for everything anybody could possibly find useful and a bunch of stupid shit, is surely a dumbass. And anybody that can't defend their position so has to resort to 10 year old name calling behavior is certainly a genius.

@sun @vriska @zaitcev The pretty blanket often does, a vacuum cleaner does too, would you pay 100k for one that came with side life long side effects? Should the mob be tolerated because some of their fronts are useful?

@zaitcev @vriska @sun every destructive mountain of shit that the government finances is covered in a pretty blanket. This is so people will moan at the loss of the pretty blanket when the destructive shit is stopped. Because they dont realize that the blanket is there only so they will celebrate the shit that is burying them.

@spinneria @DrFell That would be a pretty long tunnel, but not inconceivable.

However, Alaska is pretty far from most of the US (2000 miles to the next nearest state) and requires going through Canada, so, I''m not sure what the benefit would be.

@spinneria @DrFell I am 100% in favor of sending some people to colonize mars. Especially if I can pick the people to send.

@KeepTakingTheSoma
That should be just fine, as long as the ride isn't a descent into it.

@PNS fat women in bikinis and fat men in speedo's is the new thing. On recent trips to the carribean, I saw lots and lots of this. My how the beach going experience has changed. I had to have trauma therapy upon my return.

@HebrideanHecate @KeepTakingTheSoma western civilization is descending into barbarianism.

@em @truthbait @Zennagain @realcaseyrollins what it sounds like is that Isreal is hawkish on war and Trump is not.

@realcaseyrollins the point being that he isnt at all interested in the women that are complaining. People need to adjust their expectations.

@realcaseyrollins @Daojoan@mastodon.social My son is 23. He has a great job, making 6 figures, has no debts and a sizable chunk in savings and investments. He is hardly lagging behind but is having a hard time finding a woman he wants to date, he thinks they're mostly nuts and absurdly demanding. My daughter is 22 and already has her masters and also has money squirreled away. She has dated 2 nice guys. One died of cancer, the other doesn't want to get too serious until he has his college debts paid off.

@em @truthbait @Zennagain @realcaseyrollins

If you can't see the difference on your own, its highly unlikely that I would be able to make it simple enough for you to understand it.
Obviously the WMD was used as justification to attack Iraq.
in the case of Iran, they DEMONSTRATED that they had long distance missiles already by firing them and they ADMITTED that they had enough enriched Uranium for 10 nukes and developing them
We occupied Iraq for years and years.
you cant be this obtuse.

@em @truthbait @Zennagain @realcaseyrollins .
He also made it clear that Iran would not get a bomb on his watch, no matter the cost.

@Zennagain @realcaseyrollins @truthbait @em
I have libertarian leanings, but much of it is utopian bs and some of it leans toward anarchy.

@em @truthbait @Zennagain @realcaseyrollins

I don't think so. He is excercising US power toward US interests. Not the same as a war hawk. It's pretty easy to see the difference with Trump and Iran, vs. Bush and Iraq and Afganistan.

It seems very likely that Iran was close to being able to deliver Nukes great distances. With the things they would often say, I wouldn't want them to have one.
Being anti war isn't the same things as being pro surrender or suicide.

@realcaseyrollins
haven't you ever hears of a hangover?

@realcaseyrollins
There is humor in everything. My son is Autistic. When he was little his prognosis was really crappy. His mother and I worked with him and worked with him and he has succeded beyond what anybody thought possible. We would never have survived that without finding humor in it. Now we provide a large protion of the funding to a school that aims to do that for other autistic kids, whose parents might not be as well equipped as we were.
