He can take away my vote, but I'll be dammed if I accept jus primae noctis with my furniture.

I'll take that shred of hope. Thanks.

There is also at least one astronaut up there who smuggled a pack of chewing gum that can be used to plug the leaks once all other options are exhausted, but he hasn't told anyone because he'll get in trouble.

Mission managers were aware of the leaks before the vehicle lifted off but had said they were unlikely to affect the flight or the astronauts’ safety.

So managers made that decision? Not engineers? Rocket scientists?

So they are all jockeying over who is going to fall on their sword when this ship blows up on reentry. We're going to hear later about an engineer who tried to put a stop to it but was overruled because there was only a 30% chance of everything going to hell. It's the Challenger all over again in slow motion.

Just scuttle the ship and send a rescue mission. And fire whoever they are throwing under the bus, since that's the only closure we're likely to get.

I do indeed believe that is the thrust. It's a very aggressive and threatening move. Certainly a commitment to the continuing conflict.

It doesn't bode well for any sort of cease fire. I feel bad for the Palestinian and Israeli people, but Hamas and the Israeli government are two peas in a very violent pod. Both itching to escalate and provoke one another.

This is far kinder than this post deserves. You are good people. My version would be about 80% expletives and unkind insinuations regarding their mother.

I think overall it'll never be able to create quality entertainment.

But Ow! My Balls! isn't quality entertainment. I'm sure it can create all kinds of clips of things smashing into groins for ultra low-brow entertainment. Probably today.

So you could just ask it for anything and it could make it up?

"Google, show 'Ow! My Balls!'"

I would vote for anal fissures before either Trump or RFK.

Of course they are.

Hmm. How about that. I don't approve or support the events of that day, but I do admire the sheer chutzpah of that move (appointing him).

American History is going to feel like someone replaced the textbook with MAD Magazine.

For the past 8 years, all I've wanted was for Trump to shut the fuck up. And I must not be alone because he finally has and it's made the news.

What about... hear me out here... AI-chain. I think this has legs!

If Dark City is the lynchpin (and an inspired choice, I agree) I might put it with the Matrix and ... Gunkata. Or maybe V for Vendetta.

It's Yahoo! all over again, but even less relevant.

What on earth would lead you to believe I'm crying? You're irrelevant by your own account. I'll worry way more about people who actually give a damn.

You can't lose a vote you aren't even in the running for. That's like writing in Charlie Brown and then saying you lost the vote. You didn't; you just didn't cast a meaningful vote for President. You're changing nothing. You're not moving the Overton window even a hair to the left. You're just sitting on the sidelines.

But you know if you give zero shits about the presidency and just want to vote in local races, that's fair, I suppose.

In comparison to Trump, I can give you a long list of ways.

There's the Georgia election interference case - I don't know what the potential penalties there are, but they can only delay that one until after the election. And Jan 6. There is the fraud sentencing in NY which, you are correct will likely not result in prison time since he's a first time offender (lol).

There are two or three pending cases about fake electors where he is an unindicted co-conspirator which could potentially be amended to include him. Apparently now a potential bribery case if that hasn't already been completely scuttled.

I mean shit the guy has done a fuck ton of crime. He's already a felon, which means the kid gloves can come off for future sentencing.

I don't think any of the cases are a slam dunk victory and then prison, but there are an awful lot of options.
