I am all of gag orders in every case. It would also be awesome if it somehow extended to social medial so that I never see another stupid embedded tweet (x) re-blasting whatever dumb shit he said on truth social.

got creamed on an empty run last year by a boarder. luckily nothing permanantly damaged but the pain that day was something else. he was out of control on an empty blue run. I had slowed down and checked over the shoulder a few times. it would be pretty easy to go right around me for anyone not brand new and if you're brand new you shouldn't be on that run. to make it worse, he asked if i was ok, i said no, and he promptly took off. CSB, I know. Couldn't walk right for a few days, but eventually it all got better. Has made me extra paranoid at times though.

Ummm

Counter point: Takes a lot of power to run a local AI lawyering bot. CrapshootGPT requires some heavy processing power.

My Father is most likely going out the same way. Luckily he only affects a small company in a small town, and I'm pretty sure he's been relegated to a busy work type position. Edit: come to think of it, I'm probably never retiring either. But I'm aiming for friendly barista and/or liftie on the mountain.

Correct me if I'm wrong military folks, but isn't he technically the highest ranking Military officer? Someone that high up in the military wants to protect himself from the minions of an ex-President. And is probably correct in feeling that way. Astounding.

bump?

glad the bump wasn't what I feared, yet. Read this one the other day. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/21/us/politics/jimmy-carter-hospice.html?searchResultPosition=1

i normally don't even watch these clips but thanks for this one. that lady at the end was awesome. her 'oh no you were in a car they were hurting you so bad' bit had me laughing. good for her. Republicans being scared of cool places seems like a win/win honestly.

a bit more fun from NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/26/nyregion/trump-james-fraud-trial.html

Let's get down to brass tacks. How much for the ape? (sorry, finally someone started one of these about one of my faves)

Don’t tell me these things. Not now man.

So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

Yeah, but they're trying already to cast it in a different light of course. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/19/us/politics/pentagon-gop-bill.html

Normally I would say this come back is overplayed. But in this instance it really feels appropriate for anyone obsessing on this stuff.

In fairness to Skipper, he was answering me and I was derailing. That broad swaths of this country have been persuaded that such things that he listed are 'extreme' is truly one of the major issues facing this country. Not saying Skipper is the issue. There are unfortunately tons who feel the same way. Unlimited Pentagon budgets aren't extreme. Proliferation of billionaires while the income gaps increase broadly not extreme. Climate change not extreme. Crap, I'm derailing again, sorry. To get back to Biden--I do think his age is a concern. Not a 'oh my, I don't want to vote for him' because the alternative is flat out nazism. But as McConnell has shown, you can be fine one day (totally evil but obviously quite cogent) and then drop off the next. To me, that's concerning. Not concerning enough to give the Executive Branch over to the loony bin, but still troubling to me. Barring an Eagleton moment VP choices don't matter in elections. Well, maybe Palin damaged McCain but Obama was going to win that one either way imo.

No reason to be a dick. I took issue with your characterization of 'extreme.' I would again ask which of her ideas are extreme, but it should be another thread really. Ah, well there you have it. Perhaps you do view anything remotely progressive as 'extreme.' Has Biden enacted 'extreme' policies in your view?

53 and between Austin and now Bend I can't remember the last time I needed a sport jacket. Yay, I"M STILL YOUNG THEN! WOOOO
