  1. I know there is a dis/misinfo thread somewhere but I couldn't find it. anyway, i had a heartbreaking interaction with a good buddy of mine from Houston. Former dnb dj now chocolatier. His music got popular enough he played some massives in europe. now an entrepreneur, he seems to be running with some people that are definitely feeding him bullshit. He's what I would call smart but undereducated, and much like the voting the populace does little to no fact checking of the information he's been fed. anyway, we were heading to Lost Well to grab a pint and catch up and he says, "You know Biden wants to fuck his daughter, right" I, of course, corrected him. And then he followed with Biden wishing there more aircraft carriers in the civil war (or whatever the dumb shit dotard said back in the day). Again, I told him Trump said that, not Biden. Finally, he was like something, something Biden crime family and I kinda lost it. I'm not proud of how I handled myself, but I was not prepared to hear that bullshit from him. I thought,- and this was probably my error - that he was smarter than that. After cooling down and apologizing for my behavior I told him he needs to check his sources from now on. He assured me that he wasn't planning to vote for Trump, but then listed some 3rd party candidate I've never heard of. I started to say that's as good as a vote for drumpf, but I decided to bite my tongue. so frustrating how well disinfo, every accusation, and both sides arguments work on the intellectually lazy. I don't see a way to combat it. in the age of ALL the information at our fingertips, we still allow lies to go unchecked. maddening.
  2. maher has been irrelevant for a while. why anyone insists on trotting his nonsense out is beyond me, he's not a beacon for anything, just a contrarian asshole who says shit to rile people up. sounds familiar
  3. exactly. I don't know one person who thinks Biden is the best president ever. I think he's done an exceptional job with what he inherited, but no president is perfect. hasn't happened yet. probably never will. he's done way better than I expected and my only qualification for voting for him (and will be again) is it's a vote against trump.
  4. came here to talk about this one. glad you spoilered it. pretty hard to watch. I have no doubt this is pretty common on any battlefield, especially where certain death is likely for all of them. but to have actual footage of it is pretty devastating. gonna be hard to spin this one with the home crowd. you know it's going to be shared far and wide - no way Russia can suppress this one. will be interesting to see what, if any, impact it has on the outcome.
  5. I see we have reached the Dildozer stage of Idiocracy
  6. this man speaks truth. I've seen what he posts in ipihb
  7. imma let the NRA field that question
  8. as a wypipo I don't take this for granted in the least. I've always resisted the sense of otherness that this country seems to have settled on. either we're a melting pot or we're not. I like to think that this great experiment was worth it and in the end good will prevail, but damn if there aren't a lot of people working against that. I'm grateful to the gentleman above for fighting the good fight. I cannot even fathom what a moment in that life is like. I hope I never have to.
  9. I think @C-Man was asking about this. kinda disappointing honestly. we lost not because we were injured but because we were tired and outmatched, I guess.
  10. unfortunately people like that are not hard to find
  11. sounds about right since when I see that I say "toiler paper usa" in my head.
