    Off-Topic Terms and conditions to read news websites

    There’s an interesting and relevant (and apparently important based on the headline) article on Bloomberg now that I would like to share with this community. If I shared it, it might drive a couple of hundred eyeballs to their site, but I can’t even read the damned thing without wholesale giving...

    Off-Topic Terms and conditions to read news websites

    Am I the only one who adamantly refuses to use news sites (or any other sites really) that force you to agree to their terms and conditions just to read their content? Sorry CNN, you’re no longer a news source I can use. Bloomberg? Same for you. No way in hell I’m gonna agree to binding...

    Politics CURRENT EVENTS — NOVEMBER

    The same battle was fought and lost by the old guard Weimar conservatives in the 30’s. These idiots always think they can usefully harness the fringe elements to their right via dog whistles to their base, and then act surprised when they get outflanked and devoured. It always has been, and...

    Politics CURRENT EVENTS — NOVEMBER

    Is The Gaurdian the only news outlet still doing real reporting? Damn they are like a blast from the past. So refreshing in this day and age.

    Politics The Charlie Kirk Thread

    Can’t say. But I have seen multiple cuts of this same video. I do think there’s way too much emotional nuance for this to be an outright fake though. I feel like a fake would be more direct. Like the way her face goes though six different emotions in a two seconds, that would seem to me to be...

    Politics The Charlie Kirk Thread

    I don't know what to make of it. It sure is odd. Maybe best to go with going to go with "My husband was just murdered and I'm very heavily medicated", and leave it at that?

    Politics Epstein Files | Ghislaine Maxwell

    My mind says "Yes, of course you're right.", but my heart says "Fuck Alan Dershowitz and the horse he rode in on". 🤷‍♂️ Eh, the heart wants what the heart wants.

    Politics U.S. Budget & OBBB | OCT 1 - Gov’t Shutdown Begins

    This comes after yesterday's memory holing which scrubbed the SNAP website of the 55 page document that explicitly explained that Johnson is lying here.

    Politics U.S. Budget & OBBB | OCT 1 - Gov’t Shutdown Begins

    Here's where I let my conservative side out. The conservative thing to do is roll things back to the way it was in the past when government actually worked. The filibuster is the fact that you can hold up a bill for precisely as long as you and your allies can keep talking, no more, no less...

    Politics U.S. destroys Venezuelan vessels | Trump threatens Colombia

    This has shit all to do with drugs. It's a two-fer, grabbing rights to oil field profits, and to distract us from the the fact that the Epstein files are being withheld form us because they very likely show that our president availed himself of Epstein's human trafficking of underage girls for...

    Politics Approval/Disapproval Polls

    Not gone. It's a perpetual undercurrent in the American psyche that likes to resurface in a slightly different incarnation every few decades. The prevailing idea can also morph into different variation on the the theme. Here's a good example: Brief: Teal Swan’s Satanic Panic to Anti-Woke...

    Off-Topic General Health & Fitness - Stay/Get Back in Shape

    BTW, possibly my favorite piece of Rouge equipment in that photo is that $10 piece of PVC pipe. A lot of my warm up is done with that thing. My warm up routine is: 10 circular shoulder shrugs in each direction (forwards and backward) 10 unweighted (PVC pipe) shoulder presses 10 unweighted (PVC...

    Off-Topic General Health & Fitness - Stay/Get Back in Shape

    To be honest, as you can see from the pic, I never use the barbell holders. Racked in the stand is my go to. I have three barbells (mine, my wife's, and a 10# training bar) but since the other two rarely get used they just get in the way if I store them in the holders on the rack. I've been...
