  1. Well, they aren't wrong is the thing. Again though, I'll reiterate, I'm not a Dem politician trying to win votes, and if the Dem's have to blow smoke up their asses to get votes I'm all for it. The uncomfortable truth that no one wants to admit is we are rapidly approaching the point where there are no more quality of life increases for the middle class. At this point we are down to nibbling at the edges in western society. The US needs universal healthcare and childcare, we are obviously the major outlier there. Other than that, UBI is necessary going forward. Continual incremental improvement in health outcomes and efficiency gains which are in the nice to have category. It's in out best interests to help raise the global living standard as it defuses a lot of conflict. But that's about it. And we are seeing the ennui and lashing out that comes from this with people with no internal sense of purpose. I mean, I've said for years that Liz Warren's entire being is defined by a deep psychosis over what happened to her father. It's so transparent. Ironically Steve Bannon is exactly the same. Sorry your dad was a dupe Steve.
  2. I mean, I told everyone who was touting the whole not many Trump yard signs thing that in my neck of the woods it was twice as intense. Accurate
  3. If the recent Rory Gallagher auction is any indication, this shit is gonna go for face melting money
  4. Got damn right
  5. 20241116_082627.mp4 I thought you classic car dudes would appreciate this. My old man's '67 427. We had really high tides this week so he asked to put it in my garage, since it's higher elevation than his.
  6. I agree with the first part, meh on the second
  7. Well, I am pretty verklempt these days
  8. So I haven't seriously followed boxing in quite some time, for lots of obvious reasons, but my gut instinct is there is no way this match isn't somewhat scripted.
  9. I'm not sure I would say I'm elated, but my anxiety basically went poof last Wednesday. I am cackling at every possible Trump nominee though.
  10. Generic far left dipshit is all I know
  11. I don't even know where to put this, but this is fucking awesome. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/11/14/the-onion-wins-alex-jones-infowars-in-bankruptcy-auction.html
  12. Except the other country has to agree. FWIW, I guess it's depends on your definition of difficult, but it's fairly straightforward to have a bank account overseas. Just time consuming.
  13. It an onerous process for them to do that, they have to show criminal connection to the money.
  14. lol.
  15. I will fight for Thanksgiving to my last breath.
  16. Nerd
  17. The great thing about Icono is he will always be a cultural, social and economic inferior, and deep down he knows this.
  18. You really should stick to weed whacker string.
  19. Not enough dick sucking probably

  21. I mean, did y'all really think this was going to go any other way?
  22. Good post as always. My main impetus in starting the thread in the first place, other than it's a serious subject and we had mentioned coming back to it after the election, is that I completely admit to being out of touch on most of this stuff, and with a son who is growing up, pretty concerned. I have felt alienated from mainstream America for quite some time, but with this subject it's not really alienation as just some for of bafflement as I feel like I really don't get the motivations of a lot of these kids. It's just completely foreign to me and my experiences. I guess one other thing is the younger guys I do know are not necessarily like this, the have good jobs, starting families etc..., so probably some self selecting deal going on with who I'm around. The one exception is my old neighbor's kid, who is probably 22 or so now, lives at home, not really any plans. But frankly the kid is an idiot so I don't use him as a data point on someone left behind. The internet thing is real for sure. I am astounded at some of the stories here. My son is very much monitored on the internet, and will be till he is grown. Giving a child free reign on the interwebs is the most insane thing I've ever heard.
