There's enough chair-force pogue fuckfaces in the service to make me dubious on that notion given the current state of US armed forces. Heinlein specifically cites how service is to be made as uncomfortable as possible, even among those not fit for military service but still insistent on their right to serve a term. Our services don't have that analogue. A much stricter, tighter, and smaller military would be acceptable for Service Guarantees Citizenship, but right now, I have reservations.
We know what they have (he bought his children in cash from a Brazilian baby-farm & sex cult); like most of this information, there's very little we can DO about it.
Not surprising; he's never (ever) been wanted for his mind, just his ability to facilitate connections with his old man and the other for-sale DNC hacks making the rules.
I was just thinking about how awkward it would be if he were actually in an office setting around real consultants/analysts. Like, would he bumble his way through pretending to know what was going on?
No-show, of course, makes much more sense and protects the deniability of involved parties.
If you think what counts as abuse to be reported isn't going to be part of the greater mercurial set of Whatever Democrats Think You Shouldn't Be Allowed To Say This Week, I have a beautiful collection of bridges to sell you.
Anyway, Sony consoles are lousy/good (in that order); their success with 2/4 made them complacent, consequently, 5 will be 3 all over again. Skip it.
No audio without screwing around with a lot of extra steps outside of VLC, though...
Underrated comment; it provides the answer (on a broad level) to the question I see so often around here, which is, how is it possible that the MSM is so awful?
You mean, like, there will just be a time of year when people are more likely to catch the influence virus, and we'll have no option but to just live with it? We could call it a "flu season". Horrifying prospect!
Well, that's pretty much perfect.
You won't be surprised but this already happened, since they couched Trump's initial refusal to federally-fund the fuckup as exactly that: Drumpf preventing them from solving the problem. Had liberal retard friends texting each other that very sentiment yesterday.
These days, if you can imagine a TDS moron interpreting something that way, it's already happening. It's like a political Rule 34: if you can imagine a frantic emotionally-incontinent drug-addicted half-shaved-head 28 year old feminist HerTurn womyn recording a meltdown about it for her IG feed, someone somewhere has actually already posted it.
It seems to simple to me (obviously because I'm not a lawyer), but the DoJ needs to inform FB and Twitter that they are in short order to be held fully legally responsible for the content on their sites (including the heaps of CP and terrorist coordination that happen everyday), unless they demonstrate to the satisfaction of the FCC under the auspices of the appropriate Senate committee that they are no longer choosing what types of political content they are publishing. Drag it out and make them squeal. Refuse to give them the green light to continue operations at all until they demonstrate that all their efforts internally are focused exclusively on combating illegal content, and no efforts are being made to selectively boost or suppress content. Allow the FCC to log complaints to the contrary and hold their feet to the fire in a quarterly review of their 230 protection.
The FBI attempt to incite some sort of incident also failed, and the only participants they could get were their own and a handful of leftist "anarchist" mega-losers; thrilled to see the whole thing fall on its face, with their messaging of "This totally not-coordinated, not-totally-FBI incident is surely the fault of Trump for condemning White Supremacy for the fourteenth time, but in wording we can insinuate had a double meaning falling on deaf ears, because nobody in Michigan gives a shit. I bet loads of people up there in both parties secretly wish she HAD been tossed in a car trunk for a few days to sober up.
Thanks to the MSM and the low-IQ + cognitive dissonance of their braindead followers, the Democrat platform at this point is officially all cake-eating, all the time, to be immediately followed by uninterrupted cake-having. Trump's a monster for the China ban, a total xenophobe, but Trump didn't take the virus seriously enough; Joe would handle the virus so much better, you wouldn't have to suffer these terrible disruptions of your life, and Joe is going to initiative a total lock-down immediately.
How anyone can espouse these positions, it's amazing to see the mental gymnastics they go through to rationalize it. It's no wonder leftists end up neurotic. As has been said before, Marxist propaganda (and in contemporary times, DNC & MSM messaging) is prima facie false, but you have to believe it to be on the "right side of history", and this disconnect between what you see and can't deny, and what is "officially" true, is meant to demean and humiliate you, to make you willing to accept anything.
Don't forget the "secret message" during her unhinged video interview today. According to them we've got racist dog-whistles all day long, but 8645, no worries mate that's just a random decoration, nothing to see here, it's not literally code for I Want To Kill The President or anything.
You're in the wrong timeline Aquaman; nobody's been arrested for shit here yet.
And to think years ago I gave Dimmy five dollars during one of those neeb yow monneh drives. Should have hung onto those five bucks, I tell you what.
If the lefty fuckface edit brigade wants their own personal history narrative, changeable at will, the least they can do is pay for it themselves.
Waaaaait just a hot minute there chief; Pacific Islanders were island hopping ten thousand years before Mohammed fucked his first nine year old, with documented genetic legacies to match. I hold Islam in as much contempt as the next sane man but that's just out there (and not true).
Technically it's a broader law; the longer the news goes without, the greater the likelihood that the perpetrator is [protected leftist identity group relevant for that area], e.g. in France (or England, or Germany, or Sweden) it's a Muslim.
Agreed; Joe is doing the bush-league solo-family version of what Clinton was doing with the Foundation, an organization with tentacles reaching all over the world (some snatching children, no less), with many billions of dollars flowing in and out, and many killings.
But since Sleepy Joe and Big Loser Hunter are so stupid, more of their doings are above-board public-knowledge, and if the President wants to characterize them as worse for the moment to make it sink in for people, I'll allow it.
Well, that's certainly interesting. Also raises the question, who downvoted you? Some elite hacker no doubt engaging in 51% attacks of his own no doubt.
I can't see that particular method working against a hypothetical Big Vote blockchain, though.
Emotional blackmail indeed, as another poster put it.
To wit, a couple of guys in the 101st (as I recall from one memoir or another) had a running gag at one point during autumn '44, in which they asked one another how much, knowing what they knew now about infantry combat against the Germans, they would want to be paid to do it. Each time they brought it up, the price went up, and after a few weeks, everyone unanimously agreed that no amount of money could be worth doing what they were doing.
Part of being realistic about history is putting aside a biased perspective and looking at things as they were. That's hard to do with events the outcomes of which still comprise the day-to-day foundations of the modern world, but possible nonetheless. US involvement in WW1 and WW2 was a coercive affair; it was a bankers' war. We should have been involved in Europe in neither.
100% agree; releasing some of the zillion rounds that the IRS and DHS have stashed, in lots (to minimize shocks to the market) would be a good idea. The fuckin' IRS shouldn't have ammunition (also, fuck the IRS).
So to wit, HoC was one of the first Netflix Original shows. This was a huge transition for the company, because the ability for a handful of programming nerds in one building to create a platform and license content is one thing; the ability to wrangle thousands of people skilled in every aspect of TV product (light, sound, makeup, sets, and fifty other roles with associated gear), and to manage those relationships, and to manage the relationships around the relationships, is something else entirely.
Netflix's big thing when first entering the world of TV production was using analytics to decide what shows to produce. This is unheard of in Hollywood. What actually gets made is whatever is "hot", a vague notion that exists among gabbering moronic Creative Executives (please keep in mind the vast majority of "executive" positions in Hollywood are the equivalent to Manager-level positions in other businesses) and agents hype-beasting their new talent. When something seems to be blowing up, they all desperately try to copy it. (This is why there are so many "twin films").
But Netflix was going to do something new. They were going to look at what people were watching on the platform, and make some creative combinations/decision-making based on the data. And House of Cards was perhaps the highest-profile of those decisions based on data. The creator was just some guy who's prior work was a series about Mars and one political movie (The Ides of March). The other lead writers were two British veterans, one with writing credits on a series called "House of Cards" about corrupt British politicians, and an old veteran with a hundred credits on everything under the sun.
So basically, they weren't flaunting insider knowledge of US politics. They just were veteran writers who did their homework and wrote plausible corruption. Turns, out they did a surprisingly accurate job because politicians are exactly as scummy as veteran writers' worst imagination (!)
Anyway, the post-script of the story is, Netflix brought on more "traditional" Hollywood execs to create more original content, because there are only so many in the town who know how. But problem is, those people held the idea of analytics having any say in what projects go forward in open contempt.
What projects in Hollywood get the green light has always been a factor of who has leverage over who. Who had backstabbed who to secure the rights. Who had lied, cheated, and stole their way forward. Who had the pictures of so-and-so fucking a [whatever].
They weren't going to let data nerds take over their playpen. So there was a civil war at Netflix and the data guys were forced out unceremoniously. Now with a dozen shows in production at any given time, Netflix is the worst creative snake pit in town. And since they're making more shows than there are competent talent in the city, tons of them are running themselves into the ground, but Netflix doesn't care; they just need a Tiger King or a Dark to go viral now and then, and it's enough to keep retention up.
Anyway, this has been a Hollywood Sort-Of-Insider post, thanks for reading, and also Hollywood is fucking garbage.
It is apocryphal that this is the genesis of the piss-on-bed story, but yea, the way I heard it, they were trolling Rick Wilson because he's 85 IQ and it was easy to sucker him with the most outlandish, outrageous story they could come up with.
I consider it eminently plausible.
When Twitter NPCs "boycott" something, they will have forgotten about that post, like all their other posts, insults, vows, and all other previously-held positions-of-convenience, in approximately five minutes.
When we boycott something (or support something), we actually do it.
I haven't bought ANYTHING from Procter & Gamble since the Gillette incident (ended up settling on Derby Astra safety razors, and it's been a great two years of shaving, albeit with the occasional oops-that's-blood 🙄). I haven't watched a single moment of NFL, NBA, or MBA, NASCAR, or any other cucked sports in a long time. Too many vidya publishers have gotta pozzed to even list.
On the other hand, I HAVE went out of my way to purchase GOYA. Also, when that owner of a sauce store in Portland getting harassed by Antifa losers turned out to be a 'pede, I got some of that. Which reminds me, I finished them both (they were good) and it's time to get more.
Having a say in your nations future is dependent on a commitment to sacrificing your body and life in order to guarantee its continuation. Women are physically and dispositionally unable to effectively fight to enforce this guarantee, and consequently, unable to ever have real, full franchise. What we have now is a LARP of franchise, with a female electorate easily manipulated because while their stake in the nation may be real, their responsibilities to it are illusory.
I'm not saying women shouldn't vote. I'm saying they cannot vote, and pretending they can and formalizing this empirical impossibility into the constitution has been, and will continue to be, a catastrophe.
