I wonder if $45,000 even covers the cost of 1 or 2 of those clean ups?

I saw a crazy Instagram video where the citizens are upset they are only trying to clean up the river for the Olympics not for the people that live there. They were trying to start a viral campaign to have everyone Sh8t in the river after the clean up is done.

I ended up on this last year as I was exploring the South West. I found it confusing even as a Canadian.

I then later was confusion when Google Maps told me to go 80 on Hwy 10 in Texas once I came up from Big Bend NP. I thought the GPS was confused. 80 kms on the highway in the US? It was then I realized I wasn’t in Oregon anymore with their 60 mph highways. Texas goes fast and even 80 mph isn’t enough for most people. Even the single lane highways with construction workers was 65 mph work zones in Texas.

It was the most amount of road kill I’ve ever seen in all my travels. I think at one stage a herd of goats must of tried to cross the highway based on the carnage I came across. I finally understood the reason for the huge bumpers on the front of trucks in Texas now.

I recall the first time I saw these as a kid when visiting my mother in Alberta. I hated them then and I’m not sure it’s changed since then. Haven’t seen them in BC.

I like to say a little before that time but it was in the early 80s

It’s been said the pain of the bamboozle is too much for most to acknowledge so they continue to double down on it. The great grifters and conmen know this and use it to their advantage.

Many think it’s only the stupid and uneducated that are taken in by these scams. At times it’s the tribal nature that we can get caught up in.

Often the educated are worse off as they know better and the grave injury to their egos won’t allow them to announce to others they have fallen victim as it’s pretty embarrassing. They take their lumps and move on with their lives if they do recognize they have fallen into these traps.

It’s going to be many years before we get to the other side and then I wonder if it will be like what the Spanish referred to as the Miracle that occurred when Franco died.

After decades in power, the citizens that fought for Franco and supported him ceased to exist. When asked everyone fought against Franco in the civil war and they secretly fought against him at every level of society, government, and the military. It was miracle how he came to power and won a war with no support from anyone at any level within Spain.

If we ever get past the identity association of team Orange it will be interesting who is found to still be supporting this current day madness especially among the religious groups that support a man that displays so many of the things many of the regular members would be chastised for…

I recall reading the Sagan’s Demon Haunted World and the section dedicated to this “phenomenon”. The self convincing and conviction to these events was pretty amazing to read about from a curiosity prospective. The letters he would receive were pretty far out there.

My matter of fact father swears late one night while grading logging roads in a remote area in the 70s, he saw a big bright light in the sky that he couldn’t explain and it moved in ways he didn’t expect.

Being out in the wilderness I’m sure it wasn’t a comfortable situation for him. I still wonder what he saw but thankfully there was no accompanying abduction story to go with it in his case. These types of stories and shows did get his a attention forever after as a result.

I think the most we will hear is how it’s all Trudeau’s fault and the government is ruining their lives…

There’s public washrooms like this in a mall in Seattle, or at least there was a few years back. Half height stalls. When one is sitting the walls only come up to your elbows. One of the most bizarre setups for a public bathroom I’ve seen in my travels.

I’m wondering the same thing for my Ryzen 7 3700X as I’ve seen a lot of press recently for these chips…

I’ve just started seeing memes today for Diaper Don. The little I can find dates back to the Apprentice.

Anything else to confirm the hateful right are putting their all their hopes in a senior wearing depends and taking streaming dumps in front of others?

One of the saddest parts for his followers is they think they are getting that strong man that’s going to clean up all that is wrong in their books and make it like some rose colored memory of how good things use to be before the world become too complicated for them to handle.

Trump isn’t coming in to do that kind of hard work, he’s doing it for the title, prestige, and the fact he “deserves” to be president, he should be president because he’s special.

Not to say it’s all about his ego which it is, but it’s also pretty handy in his mind to help deal with his mounting legal issues while slow to play out but they are piling up like Everest.

It’s unfortunate most won’t recognize the need for a leader to do the hard work of a true servant leader. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen one of those. Many will argue we’ve seen that in Carter and even perhaps despite his advancing years a little in Biden but most people have been turned against such presidents with soft skills willing to do the hardwork.

They seem to want those with a finger on the button ready to blow up anyone that dares challenge the US. That’s another area Trump supporters will be let down in when it comes to Russia…

I wonder if this means political officials can be sued and jailed for allowing homelessness.

Until they get every homeless person off the streets, they will be fined daily and if after 90 days they will be locked up?

Is it because they aren’t real and robots don’t need food?

So where is the Tea Party segment of the party sit on these issues? Are they now more center than the Trumpers?

Reminds me a little of that Top Gear episode of when they were driving through the deep south… Shots will be fired…

Well that’s one way get your daily allotment of between 10,000 and 20,000 specialized erotogenic nerve endings of several types for those that had their’s lobbed off.

Yes correct. This is what was suggested for NHL94.

I never really made it into the the Playstation or Xbox controllers. I wasn’t a big gamer beyond the NHL series in my teen years as I was playing a lot of hockey then I was married at the start of my 20s and things changed quick.

Unfortunately there’s a segment of Canadians that have been exposed to the same brain rot social media as our Southern Cousins that would very much like to see Trump in power even in our country.

They often confuse American rights/amendments with Canadian and think they are interchangeable between the countries.

It’s a shame as we use to be proud of what made us same but also different. It’s an amazing lesson on the powers of social media and it shows how far behind we are compared to the Russians and the Chinese who are using it to their advantage within our countries. It’s child’s play for them now…

I get the impression there is a lot of this bait and switch in the mobile gaming circuit with great game play shown on IG ads but the actual gameplay is nothing like advertised?
