  1. Not really sure what you could have done better with this team as the die was cast years ago with the personnel decisions. The best avenue after trading Parsons (absolutely the right move as I said then and was proven when he was hurt) was to commit to the tanking so you can get a QB. George Pickens was a grand slam move and the defensive moves at the deadline were nice, but too little and too late and wholly unnecessary for long term planning and success. We need to think of a future without Dak and Ceedee. Cutting Diggs was awesome.
  2. Houston is way bigger, way poorer in areas and way more desperate and hopelessness in some areas and way more criminal and poor, so why is that astounding to you?
  3. What are you on about? Sorry just now seeing this (Happy Holidays everyone), but seriously, what? I'm not saying I didn't post about interacting with billionaires as I probably did if that was a topic, but was this about the ass pennies thing? Anyways sorry for partying and/or offending and/or whatever other issues you are having.
  4. You have literally just described how you deal with mentally ill homeless people in public spaces. Ergo?
  5. Serious question because I honestly don't know, but your post about "just say something and it's that way now" reminded me of this.... Do schools and institutions refer to Gulf of Mexico as Gulf of America still or was that just a phase we went through? (It's not a phase, MOM!)
  6. What happened in 2021? Covid-induced rage?
  7. Is that the boxing movie with that gal that got paralyzed tho?
  8. I agree and think for all the D's upset about the inequality of consequences, it's a net positive for D's in MN and USA. Walz was not great politically despite us trying to make his "dad memes" vibe a thing.

    The Technocrat and elites are for sure thinking this way (cue the photo of Elon eating dinner with Trump and FLOTUS last week, having mending their hurt fees fees of 2025).

    They hate the idea of a UBI just like they hate ACA/Obamacare. They just hate the name and when it's not their idea. They actually love the precepts. Look at how Trump loves the idea of a soverign wealth fund and a "freedom dividend". Same animal, different name.
  11. zero chance IMO. As already stated and on record out on the internet, Maduro has been given a long leash of multiple exile and soft landing options and it's been the worst kept secret of an open negotiation (with Russia and China being involved in some aspects as well) for the last six months. This happened because of some combination of USA losing patience and Maduro mocking Trump and just sped up his permanent removal.
  12. snipping tool->copy->paste. It worked 100% of the time before the cutover and hasn't worked for me since. test: It works now. Crisis averted. Thank you!
  13. I can't copy and paste photos anymore. It makes me save it and then pull it in via a folder or file, etc. Is there a work around for this?
  14. Premium's up $40 per pay period for same EPO.
  15. GOLD!
  16. Interesting tidbit about the oil situation in Venezuela as well (below), but also reports it will take $100bn’s and a decade (or more) to show value out of an investment in Venezuela’s oil reserves. About 80% of Venezuela’s oil is sold on the black market, according to Francisco J. Monaldi, the director of the Latin America energy program at Rice University. China and Russia are big customers. But it will likely devastate the Venezuelan economy.
  17. So rumors are that Rodriguez the Maduro VP whose Venezuelan high courts just swore in, was the one who was as the inside mole to the US and ratted him out. Funny if that is proven true over time. Best-case scenario might be a Noriega 2.0, when Panama’s genuine democratic transition soon superseded initial condemnation of Bush's intervention. Worst-case scenario could be a Gaddafi 2.0, though Venezuela doesn’t face anywhere near the same ethno-political fractures and separatism that Gaddafi’s regime papered over in Libya.

    If you take about 10 steps back, I’m seeing a picture emerge. I don’t want to overstep and leap into conspiracy land, but the political madness lately does make sense if you consider the following: The incoming AI and automation doomsday for labor (blue collar, white collar, and minimum wage), will necessitate a social framework that will need to keep the billionaires happy AND the rest of us from the streets with pitchforks. If you look at, say Norway or the Middle East, a great way to accomplish this in the short run is a dividend paid to American citizens akin to a UBI check for most of us, the “useless eaters”, to meet basic needs (or at least feel like we are). In order for this economic framework to work, you need a) strong returning assets like oil (see: KSA) like we look to be adding with Venezuela and Greenland b) strict/tight definitions, laws and parameters on what an American citizen is and means and qualifies for the monthly stipend. Which is why nationalism is all the rage again versus open borders etc. Basically capitalism has failed and we have no exit ramp now that AI has been captured by the elite.
  19. Checks out. The last straw was the ego gut shot.
  20. It sounds to me like we (The US) just got impatient and sick of waiting. We've been in some form of negoitating Maduro's exit for 6 months+ from stepping down to an actual exile (Russia/Belarus) and my first thought is that the US got tired of waiting and got the sense that Maduro was stalling and kept changing his mind in a way that signaled he was never going to actually step down and he's just stalling like a hostage crisis who is just buying time for someone to bail him out.
