    Politics If You Were EVER a Republican...WHY? Part Two: What role did Carolina play in your leaving behind the GOP?

    I was a registered Dem for most of my life and went independent with the rise of the far left. Still haven’t voted for a pub, but find myself identifying with the very few moderate Rs left out there. Not enough to vote for one given that they would empower the radical right majority, but still.

    Off-Topic Chrysalis...A 400 year one way trip

    I’ll pass on that. 400 years is about 16 generations, basically the length of time since the founding of the first colony in America to now. There is about a zero percent chance the crew doesn’t go insane and accidentally or intentionally destroy that ship.

    This is an easy win for Trump. It plays to his base and come primary season next year he can tout a major reduction of crime in DC.

    Politics Was Joan of Arc Trans?

    Are you suggesting that Joan of Arc, perhaps the most famous woman from the middle ages that wasn't a ruling monarch was just another man? Do you have an axe to grind against women? She's literally been a hero to millions of lesbians and tomboys. Don't take that away from them.

    Politics RFK Jr, HHs & MAHA News | Chaos at HHS

    I have great hope for a future where mRNA therapies are used to treat cancer. Think about a world where you're diagnosed with cancer, the dna of the cancer is extracted, AI tech is used to develop antibodies for your specific cancer, which are then administered using mRNA vaccines. JFKjr is...

    Off-Topic Altmin works to understand XenForo

    I’m starting to get the picture on this thread. It started off super confusing. I did learn that CalHeel and I went to the same high school, though I’m guessing he’s a couple of years younger than I am. He might know my sister.

    I would boycott Russian things but there aren't Russian things worth having.

    Off-Topic IC going to On3

    Seems like at least some cranky bitter folks stayed at 247, hopefully they stay there and On3 will be a little lighter for a while.

    Off-Topic Happy Gilmore 2

    This was a respite from our world where people take themselves far too seriously. It was nice to kick back and laugh a bit The cameos made the movie.

    Politics The modern conservative approach to "comedy"

    I'll read the article later. I do like that I'm allowed to like Blazing Saddles again. That movie is hilarious.

    Politics After Trump

    It wouldn't surprise me if Trump doesn't endorse anyone, or holds off until someone has the nomination locked up already. Not because he wants to be impartial, but because he doesn't want to associate himself with someone that may lose. I definitely think Trump will tank some folks though.

    Politics After Trump

    Probably some crazy southern governor. I don't think Vance has national appeal and the fact that he comes off as a boot licking sycophant won't help him with the folks that want a 'real man' to run. I think a lot of pubs in congress will succumb to this problem as well.

    Off-Topic IC going to On3

    That'll be interesting. IC clearly has the best staff. But, 247 has the free Paramount thing which I use more than I thought I would.

    Off-Topic Marijuana use leads to much higher cardiovascular risk

    I'm shocked that something fun is also bad for us. (Having said that, I don't really like it, but appreciate that many folks do)
