    Politics Trump Addresses The Nation

    The only way we can even begin to decide if a person is mean or not is by the things they say. How do you know the person selling corn dogs is mean if not by his words? How do you know the person selling shit sandwiches is not mean just b/c he isn't saying mean things at that moment? Does it...

    Politics Trump Addresses The Nation

    So an emotion (disgust) led you to take a step back and stop being emotional (stressed and angry) about politics. Interesting. Not particularly rational, but interesting...

    Politics Trump Addresses The Nation

    Doesn't take much to equate this line of logic with showing the absurdity of blaming drug dealers for the drug problems that sometimes ensue, which I agree with...

    Off-Topic I Love Graveyards and Tombstones

    Good eye, duluoz. I was well on my way when that picture was snapped, but I like to believe it did it with good cheer. I also like to believe I've since turned back to light side but some days I can't tell...

    Off-Topic I Love Graveyards and Tombstones

    Hmmm, I must be misremembering then, which makes perfect sense. I must've been recalling a picture I saw of it or some such, in which it does seem a rather tawdry rendering (seems made of low grade concrete and sculpted by a novice teenager, and badly graffitied to boot), certainly in comparison...

    Off-Topic I Love Graveyards and Tombstones

    Never heard that one before but I'll take it. Actually just saw a pretty good older (well, 2011) miniseries with him in it, Parade's End..

    Off-Topic I Love Graveyards and Tombstones

    I think it was there when I went. It was actually kinda comical and sad, but probably apropos in that regard. I was backpacking solo (more or less) around Europe when that pic was taken. One of my other stops was West Berlin, so that tells you how long ago it was. I actually painted a...

    Off-Topic Wordle thread

    And again! Got the green and blue groups first on Connections and then left to ponder which of the remaining was the yellow and purple. Ended up getting the yellow one first and was about to throw in the towel and just click off the last group without really figuring out the connection, but...

    Off-Topic Must see in Kauai, Hawaii, Maui?

    That wilderness trail on the north is worth a look too. You can stay on it for days (or, I assume, weeks) if you're so inclined, or go for shorter day trips. I think it's a pretty well-known tourist destination on Kauai...

    Off-Topic Movies Thread

    LOL, maybe it hadn't had time to queue up in the search function yet. Anyway, I suspect I'll be concurring with a robust recommendation... ETA: I see now that a pic of the movie poster was posted but the name was never mentioned in any of the subsequent posts, thus its eluding the search...

    Off-Topic Must see in Kauai, Hawaii, Maui?

    Have you seen the movie A Perfect Getaway? It's largely filmed on the wilderness trail on the north side of Kauai. Good movie, too...

    Off-Topic Must see in Kauai, Hawaii, Maui?

    We did a helicopter tour in Kauai, I enjoyed it immensely. Of course, I'd love to go up in a helicopter pretty much anywhere just to look around, but it was especially captivating in Kauai. Evidently the area atop the mountains there is classified as rainforest, very cool seeing it all from...
