    She is not well. 

     

    How it started.

    How it's going.

    That before-and-after photo set nicely illustrates the core characteristic of today’s right wing: mental health issues indulged. The party is just a giant co-enabler group, its members constantly reinforcing each other's unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns. They’ve let themselves go, mentally, and they’re dragging the whole country down with them.

    No one in the party is going to intervene on Guilfoyle’s behalf. No one will help. They will just nod along and encourage her to keep accelerating towards a bad end.

    "Yellowstone" star Forrie J. Smith took to Instagram on Saturday to say he was "kicked off" a flight and left stranded in Houston after refusing to sit next to another passenger wearing a mask

    "I just got kicked off a plane," Smith said. "Because I told them I didn't feel comfortable sitting next to somebody with a mask on."

     

    “I’ve been sitting in an airport for three hours. Ya, I'm drinking," Smith, who plays Lloyd Pierce on the hit Western series, continued. "I ain't drunk, but they throw me off the plane because I'm drunk, because you people won't stand up and tell everybody what bulls--t this is.”

    "I just told them I didn't feel comfortable about sitting next to somebody that had to wear a mask, and I'm off the plane," Smith reiterated before the video ended.

    In the comments, people asked why Smith cared if another person was wearing a mask. Many suggested instances where masking would be appropriate for protecting their health and others.

    It's unclear what airline Smith was traveling on. His representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

    Smith has previously been vocal about his public health beliefs. He skipped the Screen Actors Guild Awards in 2022 due to Covid vaccination requirements.

    "I’m not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated,” Smith said in a now deleted Instagram video. "I believe they compromise your immunities … It’s no offense to anyone. It’s just my beliefs. I just don’t believe in that stuff."

    And yet, the effects of slavery linger in the United States 160 years later.

    Yes, of course. And the effects of settler colonialism on Palestine will linger long after that policy ends, which may happen at some point. 

  4. I chuckled this morning at the ironic condescension of posters equating slavery — a practice that was abolished in the US 160 years ago — with a colonialist policy that continues to this day. Y’all motherfuckers need Jesus analogical reasoning practice.

    You can’t possibly believe that’s what is happening with trans or gender fluid people. 

    Of course that’s what he thinks. He has a simpleton’s understanding of the universe. Put him on ignore or at the very least stop quoting his stupid bullshit.

    Is a bitcoin worth $0.01 or $100K? It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

    This reflects a superficial model of economics. Sure, price represents subjective value. But, over the long term, humans value useful things. Occasionally markets go irrational based on a FOMO mentality, but people eventually recognize useless assets for what they are and prices and volume crash. Look at what happened with NFTs which are, ironically enough, essentially just crypto tokens that are nominally tethered to something tangible.

    The entire world is squeezing 15 pounds of shit into 10 pound garbage bags.  Yes, bean counters and managing to quarterly stock reporting, JIT inventory, LEAN,....(insert business school jargon here)  is a significant factor.

    Brain drain, short staffing and component supply shortages brought on by shutting the world down has that problem on steroids.

    Its everywhere, substitute components/vendors/processes are the status quo.

    So are you in favor of more stringent regulations of commercial airlines?

  9. Crypto is worthless as a currency because of its volatility, transaction costs, and inability to scale. So it has become nothing more than an investment asset. But unlike other assets, crypto offers no dividends, rents, interest, or utilitarian value. Its only value is speculative: when you buy crypto, you’re gambling that someone else will buy it for more than you paid. It’s entirely a bet on a rise in the price of the asset itself, also know as a “greater fool” bet. 

    Crypto enthusiasts will bounce back and forth between currency-type and asset-type arguments for it. But the former are completely irrelevant. Aside from stable coins (which have their own issues), crypto is not a form of currency and thus any attempt to justify crypto based on analogy to fiat is invalid. The relevant question at this point is whether crypto has sustainable value as an asset.

    They didn't really explain how the NWA title worked back then, but Fritz could not just write in one of his sons as champ.

    Exactly. As I recall, the various regional promoters sat on a board that chose world champions. And the champ’s job was to cycle through the different promotions to wrestle the local hero and make him look good. They picked a guy who could wrestle an hour a night every night, put a less capable performer over, and put butts in seats. 

    Flair traveled from state to state wrestling each company’s top guy, pretending to get his ass kicked for 55 minutes, and then somehow cheating to win or eking out a DQ loss or finding some other cheap way to retain the belt. The local fans would come away thinking their guy proved himself superior to the champ and only lost due to bad luck, which surely wouldn’t intervene in the rematch. (What are the chances Flair could escape certain defeat through pure dumb luck a second time?) And then they’d rush to buy tickets for the next time Flair came to town.
