  1. Watching it now. I'm just finding Season 2 depressing. Between Covid and the arrest and other things making it clear just how fucked up the program is, the season is a beating.
  2. I think the test only needs to be done the day before to get back in to the US (obv. depending on what country you're traveling to).
  3. Yet there's been crickets from you on this one. It's almost like you're spouting disingenuous bullshit.
  4. Pedals are in the same place. But shifting with my left hand was an additional headache I didn't need on top of turning on my wipers every time I was trying to signal, etc. And every car I've owned until my current one has been a stick, so it's not like it was the stick shift itself that was messing me up.
  5. At least the youtubers seemed to know how to drive a stick shift, based on what CBS showed anyway. I still can't believe the contestants don't learn that before going on the show. Although, in fairness, and having rented a car in New Zealand with a manual, getting used to shifting with my left hand while also driving on the other side of the road was headache inducing, and I had had cars for years with stick shifts.
  6. We just spent two years prioritizing opening Applebee's over schools. But, yeah, I guess more people largely in the top, oh, 10% of income range, can work from home in white collar jobs they would have done from their own office without much interaction with the public anyway.
  7. Lo fucking L. Do you even capitalism?
  8. The judges aren't supposed to be making "points" at oral argument. That's the attorneys' job.
  9. Well, his beliefs explain how he got syphilis and let it run rampant to his brain.
  10. True. But crickets from the people outraged about the Kenosha driver getting out on bail. So odd they're silent.
  11. Sure, I guess it's mildly encouraging that after years of enabling, or at best, silence, they said something. But it's akin to Japanese military strategists making a speech in saying they shouldn't have bombed Pearl Harbor after the Battle of Midway.
  12. So you're back to mocking someone for a stutter. Lovely.
  13. FFS, and I have Ana on ignore, so only seeing him quoted. There is no such thing as the "abortion industry." There's women's health care, of which abortion is one component.
  14. So does that mean my tax dollars will no longer go to subsidize taker red states.
  15. This. We have a fucked up view of "national security," focussing solely on military might, and ignoring things like disease, lack of access to healthcare including prenatal care, and climate change, all of which have killed far more Americans over the last decade than foreign governments or foreign born terrorism.
  16. Bragging about winning an imaginary Man of the Year award.
  17. Being asked for help by the parents of soldiers killed in the Korean War.
  18. Injecting bleach.
  19. So telling that people who either supported or ignored "Person Woman Man Camera TV," "Tim Apple," and trying to buy Greenland, are now upset that Biden either didn't crawl down to the level of an idiotic, insulting trumper on a call that was supposed to be about bringing joy to a child on Christmas or as someone who doesn't think governing centers around tweeting insults at perceived enemies and maybe wasn't following idiotic right wing memes. Also telling that they think anyone with 2 working brain cells would give a rat's ass what they think after the last 5 years. It's not whataboutism to say they after all the crazy shit they excused, I don't really give a flying fuck about their opinions on anything. And if they have any valid points, well too bad so sad, no one but the brainwashed has any desire to listen to them.
  20. Yup. It had me rooting for the comet.
  21. The trip I just did was similar to that. Abu Simbel was amazing, if you can add that in, although the drive was about 3 hours each way from Aswan. We spent a few days in Hurghada at the end, but it was too cold to swim, and IMO not worth it, though maybe warmer enough in November vs. December.
  22. It depends on the type of at home test. They could distribute PCR tests. In NJ, you can request an at home PCR spit test from the state, and they overnight it to you, and you overnight it back to the lab. But if you're talking about stuff like the Binax tests, who knows how reliable it is and not sure those are worthwhile.
  23. I just got back from Egypt--guided trip with 10 people---which was amazing. As far as I could tell, everything was open there. Mask wearing was also very sporadic, though the people working in the tourism industry (guides, hotel clerks, waiters, etc.) all seemed to be masked up. Just about no one else was. We were told to carry our vax cards with us, but no one ever checked them. That said, I don't know that I was ever in a crowded space. I can't compare it to the before times, but it also seemed fairly empty of tourists. There were very few other people at the various temples, other than at the Temple of Hapshepsut, which had massive school trips there and was swarming with Egyptian children and teens who wanted to practice their English on us. Also the venders were extremely aggressive. I think after nearly two years of few tourists, they were very desperate.
  24. Joe McCarthy was wounded in WWII. Not sure many remember that. Dole was the face of the GOP, at a time when it was a reasonable alternative, but being taken over by the evangelical wing, and a time when it was already peddling in some racist, homophobic, and sexist policies/rhetoric, but with the exception of the homophobia, with dog whistles rather than bull horns. Then he continued to support the party that he had been the face of, when the GOP turned into the GQP, and its leaders supported an overthrow of the government. I don't know what was in his heart. He probably meant well. It sounds like he did incredibly admirable things before entering public life. But his legacy is being a visible Republican face, who stood by while they trashed democracy in America.
