So had someone not liked the pager, and given it away to a family member or friend, that person would have suffered the explosion.

Sounds like a terrorist war crime to me!

I know it’s a lie because of who it’s coming from.

I have a theory; if this individual was in Ops, then a corridor, their brain may have said - hang on, I was just in Ops, then I left …and no one was left in Ops. I’ve left Ops unmanned! This is a dangerous situation for the station!

…and if that’s going on somewhere in the mind, whilst one is also running late (merging those worries), at the same time as passing through the middle of a set piece - then yeah your brain is going to have a confused questioning of what reality is being occupied, what concern is to be followed given the circumstances at hand.

…either that or tachyons were involved.

This is because of their one time slogan: “Juz bingle a Pringle in your vag jay jay!”

Sitting watching a movie then BAM! The large man sitting behind you punches you full force in the back of the head, you hear him muttering something about moving pictures before you pass out.

This is yet another, EITAH episode - Everett is the asshole.

Huh, Russia too.

If only there was an entity large and powerful enough to like… govern over these things.

Does anyone else remember the joy of going to a state fair, or local games market/festival/convention to gave their PS/2 modded to play international games? Anyone remember region locking?

Fun times.

He’s 38.

I wonder if Russia understands that the crazed Republican supporters they’ve cultivated to slightly favor Russia with this candidate (Trump) are just as likely (if not more) to be the same ones demanding Nuclear War with Russia next election season, or the one after it.

That’s the problem with trying to inject chaos into the world’s current super power, it might roll over and crush you whilst chaotically flailing sometime later. That’s the nature of chaos.

What you actually want is a friendly calm America, that lets you go about your own business. Not a chaotic America run by wildcards, sycophants, and morality free billionaires.

I got COVID related tinnitus, avoiding beans, and certain soy based oils helps slightly, but it’s not consistent.

I stay healthy by doing painful amounts of exercise each day even if it feels like it’s killing me. It often feels like dying, and sometimes makes me very depressed (all my energy going into it, and being unable to think clearly after). But pushing my exercise limits every day, taking at most one day a week off for rest/recovery has helped.

The Ferengi and the Furious was right there. Also the Phasers and the Furious, The Figures and the Furious, and The Fast and the Field Generators.

They’re probably concerned their phones might explode. Turns out these questionable tactics mught have downstream effects.

JD Vance was appointed on Peter Thiel’s recommendation, beating out the candidate Rupert Murdoch was suggesting.

I believe Vance worked at Thiel’s Venture Capital company named Narya (a Tolkien reference, as that’s Thiel’s company naming preference).

But yeah, Trump was presented with two options from the right wing elite billionaires he serves. So that’s how that worked.

Circumcision.

I don’t think it’s alive, I think it’s talking to its self. They’re making a Chinese whisper machine, and it will remain so until it has embodiment, subjective and changing goals, and a will of it’s own.

That’s part of intelligence, but it’s still a reverse engineering take on things.

In actuality we have intelligence because our threat detection and social protection/survival goals became abstract enough for self-awareness to occur.

EDIT: Telephone game is what I meant.

No dumb ass, nor did I ever say that by pointing out that the Black Panthers were Maoist in their food distribution program (see their Wikipedia page for details).

That’s just how far I’ve given up on reformist Capitalism and establishment corruption.

…but also on well meaning idealism that has little meaningful to offer.

You know what would be great, an honest, true, and transparent political system, and maximum wealth limits.

…like we can express good intentions and desires all day. That’s cool, but there are hard problems in the way, and at some point utopianism is a distraction from realism and genuine analysis of what those hard problems are.

Cool, glad it got resolved so simply and neatly, good job everyone! 👍

P.S remember when the Black Panthers had to enforce the right to have a free breakfast program, by patrolling the streets with guns? They we’re Maoist by the way (Maoism dictates using the community to set up community services). Glad things are so much simpler now. Operating on kind comments, thoughts and prayers 🙏

Very logical if you don’t want someone trying to break through your suppressions. Which propbably indicates she had a real shot with him.
