  1. And Facebook is the preferred search engine for the olds. I see the potential for exploitation, in fact I've been watching it going on for a good long while right here with US based companies as well, and I think Facebook is playing a major role (along with Fox) in why so many of us have lost our parents to the cult of the GOP. I don't really see the thing you are concerned about being different because I've already watched Facebook sell to whoever wanted to buy it, including foreign governments. So why should I care if I'm lining the pockets of some Singaporean CEO vs Zuckerberg if the end result is that governments against the US are still going to wind up with the same data? What I'm getting at is that if we're going to be banning social media from China, then we should be banning Facebook from selling data to non-US citizens, and banning US citizens from sending that information outside the borders of the US. If we're not ALSO doing that, then China will just buy the data from Facebook and carry on with their plans unabated. If the data is what's important, then we should be protecting the data, no matter how it is collected. It's as simple as that. Until such time as we decide to protect the data no matter where it's being collected, I don't really understand the picking of winners and losers among the data collectors. That really shouldn't be the business of our government.
  2. I'm sure they are getting a lot of good intel about me, now that they know that I tend to like all things about people getting startled, or dogs doing cool/funny stuff, or Karens getting owned. I don't have any more heartburn over the Chinese government having this information than Zuckerberg or Musk.
  3. So I've figured it out, YGIFS is Roger Stone but for the other side.
  4. When y'all first started talking about the clown shoe on the right, I went all the way to the right. How the fuck is that lion walking with the monstrosity of it's one right paw?
  5. People would’ve confused them with people that believed COVID was real, though. How could they have ever recovered from that?
  6. I was wondering what happened to our old AD.
  7. Satchel's post above comports with my experience growing up in the SBC. I never actually got sexually assaulted, but I'm 99% sure that my youth pastor was working on me for awhile while I was in high school "to save my soul." He eventually figured out I wasn't going to play with his balls and stopped asking me to go out for a ride with him.
  8. Yes I understand this. But anyone stupid enough to believe a letter written to them by a person who claims to be beheaded and who got their information "from the wind" is not a competent person and should be removed from practice on the grounds that she is no longer mentally capable of advocating for any client. In this case, if she truly believed the story she was telling she should be in a loony bin. If she truly didn't believe it, she should be sanctioned severely for filing multiple cases despite knowing she was not telling the truth. Fit for the loony bin doesn't appear to be a sanctionable offense, though, based on what you lawyers are telling us. This isn't a dispute about facts in a he said/she said fashion, this is a dispute about facts where the reason she supposedly believed the losing fact pattern was because a beheaded person told her about them in a letter, based on what that beheaded person heard in the wind. Let's keep in mind, if you are fucking beheaded you can't hear shit anywhere because you don't have ears anymore, even if you could somehow survive a beheading.
  9. If you believe a random letter from a person who tells you they have been beheaded and they heard what they heard on the wind, and you choose to actually believe it, you should be deemed incompetent to be an attorney. If you don't believe it, but move forward as if you do, you should be be up for discipline due to lying. The fact that only the second one is actually true is the one that is hard to believe for many of us.
  10. Eric Trump really said it, back in 2014, according to some author. I remember that was a thing when dotard was running for president. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/05/eric-trump-russia-investment-golf-course
  11. So I tried this awhile ago. She didn't like it. She didn't disagree. She kept right on watching and believing. Good luck.
  12. Craziest part of that story are those who are like, "I started taking this and I have 1,000 things wrong with me that weren't before, what should I do?" What the fuck you mean what should you do? What you should do is stop being a stupid idiot, you moron.
  13. Back to the taco trucks discussion. So as it turns out, the group I was with didn't have the stomach capacity to truly do the taco mile. We did sample 4 trucks by the bounce place and all of them were delicious, however to me the star of the show was the tlayuda at the Oaxacan truck. Pastor tacos at the truck in the back were a close second. We are going to have to go back for a round two at the truck cluster down closer to rundberg. I will report back.
  14. Jesus, he's just a detestable human being.
  15. But she's best friends with Rupaul so don't expect to see her go away.
  16. What keeps coming to my mind is that original lawyer of that guy in Maryland that just got released after serving 20+ years in prison for murdering his girlfriend in high school. Can't remember his name or his original lawyer's name (it was the first season of the podcast Serial), but she had a good reputation when she was hired, but ended up getting disbarred because of a general decline in her ability to effectively lawyer. Then she died.
  17. Until recently, a gay man could only give blood as long as they never had sex with a man after 1982. They recently changed it. Now I could give blood, but I'd have to abstain from sex for 3 months first. So yeah, gay men with a sex life still can't give blood.
  18. Woo, now I can be excluded for 2 reasons. I've been banned from giving blood since I was 12 years old because that's when I discovered the joys of playing with other people's dicks.
  19. If you've never had to spend time thinking about how you are going to keep your life together because the government is after your people, never considered if you could just leave the state your are in or if you'd have to find a way to live in another country, never had a concern that you were going to provide some physical cue that would cause someone to attack you randomly, consider yourself lucky. But also, don't be an asshole to those of us who have had to complete these thought exercises. It doesn't affect you yet, but given enough time it will affect everyone one of you. Once we're exterminated, and the gays are surely on deck right after they kill off all the trans people, the learned people will be up next, so good luck!
  20. If it's unbiblical, then make damn sure you don't put that shit on in your church. That doesn't have anything at all to do with it going on outside your church. Fuck off, man.
  21. I have successfully done this in Oaxaca. I have also recently discovered this plethora of trucks in north Austin. We already have the group together to make this happen, we have just been waiting for a weekend when the weather is nice and we're all available. I expect this to happen in the next 3-5 weeks. I'll report back. Also, I have added Yaka Mein to my list for next time I go to New Orleans.
