  1. I cna't embed it, but that's fantastic.
  2. I'm glad you're posting all of the expat info here. It's really good, insightful stuff. Wife and I have been traveling a lot lately, looking at various spots to potentially live as expats. In our research and travels, Portugal has become less and less friendly to American expats over the past 3-4 years. There are active protests against American expats, and a lot of anti-expat sentiment. Policies are changing as a result. It's not unlike the stuff you see in America when residents of Idaho or Colorado bemoan California transplants driving up real estate prices, etc. All that is to say we haven't yet found the ideal place, and although we loved our time in Portugal, it's not on our list anymore. Anyway, this is probably better on a different thread.
  3. Portugal no longer honors the Golden Visa, sorry to say.
  4. I have heard that the video for Strawberry Fields Forever was the first true music video, since it was produced as a standalone video and not part of a movie. Not sure if true, but definitely true that many music videos existed after that and then throughout the 70s.
  5. This fight can be summed up in one still frame:
  6. Yes it does. Just when I start to feel optimistic, shit like that comes out.
  7. If Trump loses and MAGA splinters, I wonder if the Rs would consider encouraging Arnold to be the new face of the party.
  8. 17 consecutive seems pretty good
  9. Kamala is fiery. Such a fucking badass. I can't wait for her to be president.
  10. what the fuck is happening at this rally? Are there protesters trying to fuck around with it?
  11. This rally needs someone dancing for 30 minutes. I mean they are playing the songs, so get this thing going.
  12. Fucking American treasure right there. God Bless Willie.
  13. Maybe she'll do her laundry on stage
  14. That Nutty Putty tragedy is 100% pure nightmare fuel.
  15. Biggest swing in the world is in Durban, South Africa.
  16. Here's me on this thread, whenever I see a big white box that will eventually materialize into a screen cap or twitter post after about 5-10 seconds: Immediately scroll to the bottom of the post to see if there's a majority of horns up / smile emojis vs rage emojis. That way I can prepare myself for whatever information will eventually display on my laptop. Key to my emotions: Horns up / heart emojis = good polling data, wait for the white box to morph with quiet confidence Rage emojis = bad polling data or Trump saying something especially racist (beyond his usual baseline), feel stomach drop while waiting for the bad news Laugh emojis = Trump or Vance being their usual dipshit selves or the Harris camp doing something badass to put the Rs in their rightful place, wait for the info to materialize with optimism but also know that a lot of shit that people think is funny is actually regarded Drool emojis= some sexy photo or especially promising polling data, hope like hell for the latter but resign myself to time in my bunk if it's the former
  17. It's on the Colorado ballot this time around. Will be curious to see how that one goes.
  18. Filled out ballot at home, dropping off soon two minutes from the house. This is how all voting should go.
  19. Exactly! cab but I've been going back and forth to South Africa for the past 20 years (was just there last week in fact) and racism in the US is just as strong as it is there. The refreshing thing about SA is that they actually talk about racism and what to do about it. For the record, everyone I talk to in SA -- across all racial categories, etc, and I mean every single person -- everyone wants Kamala to win. They went through 5 years of their version of Trump (Jacob Zuma) and see right through his bullshit.
  20. I keep hearing that Texas hasn't faced a competent passing offense yet. That ou, and Michigan, and others are all among the worst passing offenses in the country. You think *maybe* that Texas had something to do with that? Of course those passing offenses are ranked low -- those bitches played Texas, and we totally fucked them up. Of course Georgia will be the best opposing passing offense we've faced. I say "opposing" because the best passing offense our defense has faced is the one they face during practice. We'll be ready.
  21. I'd tell him to play the lottery but he already won it. Holy shit.
