Squatch-Squat

noims says...

If I saw a cryptid that had minimal (at best) evidence of its existence, I wouldn't be casually documenting its unexpected appearance saying "... elusive creature, now it just squatted down...".

There'd be a lot more "HOLY FUCK! EVERYONE, LOOK! IT'S A FUCKING SASQUATCH! STOP THE TRAIN! PULL THE CORD! THIS IS FUCKING MONUMENTAL! IT'S AN ELUSIVE CREATURE! NOW IT JUST SQUATTED DOWN!"

Hang on. Maybe it's just a tone-of-voice thing. I take it back.

Biden Approval WTF

JiggaJonson says...

I did. And I'm happy with the way things are going generally. At least, regarding Joe Biden.


Big picture: there's a lot of terrible things happening in the world. My own half-assed-survey based on personal experience: most people don't follow passing laws and what the executive branch really does with any kind of seriousness. They may self-proclaim they "like reading the news" But most people who say things like that are content with a surface understanding of what's happening.

I mean, you know inflation is up AROUND THE ENTIRE PLANET right? https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/15/in-the-u-s-and-around-the-world-inflation-is-high-and-getting-higher/

Besides Israel, other countries with very large increases in inflation between 2020 and 2022 include Italy, which saw a nearly twentyfold increase in the first quarter of 2022 compared with two years earlier (from 0.29% to 5.67%); Switzerland, which went from ‑0.13% in the first quarter of 2020 to 2.06% in the same period of this year; and Greece, a country that knows something about economic turbulence. Following the Greek economy’s near-meltdown in the mid-2010s, the country experienced several years of low inflation – including more than one bout of deflation, the last starting during the first spring and summer of the pandemic. Since then, however, prices have rocketed upward: The annual inflation rate in Greece reached 7.44% in this year’s first quarter – nearly 21 times what it was two years earlier (0.36%).

Annual U.S. inflation in the first quarter of this year averaged just below 8.0% – the 13th-highest rate among the 44 countries examined. The first-quarter inflation rate in the U.S. was almost four times its level in 2020’s first quarter.

Regardless of the absolute level of inflation in each country, most show variations on the same basic pattern: relatively low levels before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in the first quarter of 2020; flat or falling rates for the rest of that year and into 2021, as many governments sharply curtailed most economic activity; and rising rates starting in mid- to late 2021, as the world struggled to get back to something approaching normal.

---------------------------------

The pattern of rising and falling inflation happened because that flu that "will just go away like a miracle" ended up affecting the whole world's economy in a somewhat predictable pattern when it comes to inflation. Maybe the people who only casually glance at the news when they are flipping channels don't know better, but come on - you know that inflation rates in the United States are not specifically Joe Biden's fault right?


You still think they are? OKAY - HOW? Exactly. Point to legislation passed or not passed and the timeline of inflation in the United States.

Something like "Here you can see inflation beginning to spike, and it's the result of XXXXXXXXX that Joe Biden did, here's exactly how what he did affects inflation in this way."


Who wants to bet $20 that I'll get some response like that? What should the odds be set at if I am 100% certain all I'll get is just some snarky bullshit from an old bullfrog.

Google Engineer on His Sentient AI Claim

eoe says...

Wow. This dude is really well-spoken. And the interviewer, although she asks a few leading questions, does a pretty damn good job, too. When I first read this headline, I assumed the dude was some sort of nerd who, although ethical concerns are very, very real and scary, mostly had a desire for some 15 minutes of notoriety. But I was swiftly put in my place by this interview.

And I always enjoy a casual dismissal of Elon.

Is Meat REALLY Bad For The Climate?

cloudballoon says...

Sources for the 8-10 billion & 1.5 billion figures? I'm just both fascinated & concerned about how the scientists come up with those numbers and what tech & better farming can do.

Yeah I agree the human population can't just grow & grow. But it seems the only way to do that is 1) war & 2) high cost of living has worked so far. Diseases used to be a fair equalizer as well, but with advanced R&D, even a pandemic like what we have is able to prevent mass casuality rates of the past.

Locally, all the beef in my area is grass fed. All unnatural pastures were created as a byproduct of the logging industry, not for cattle. It’s butchered and stays local. I must guess our beef here is that outlier at 9 kg CO2 equivalent per kg….or better.
I also must assume they give no value to the rest of the carcass in their calculations…bone meal, tallow, etc are also valuable commodities not accounted for here.

The biggest issue with food production is the number of mouths to feed. We about 8 billion today and rising. The maximum number that can be supported is estimated to be between 8 and 10 billion, but the maximum that can be sustained naturally without depletion of essential resources is only 1.5 billion, assuming they use the same resources per capita.
To actually be sustainable as a species, we need to eliminate over 80% of the population AND adopt far less destructive behaviors.
Ain’t gonna happen. Start making your chain mail dresses and shoulder pads now, it’s almost time for Thunderdome.

Schumer V McConnell

McConnell's inner monologue "Wehll, it looks like Chuck is gonna be late for this wuhn. Ah'll just saunter up all casual, don't want to look in a hurry. Oh just look at 'em all, waitin' to hear all I have to say. Maybe I'll start with immigrants and... aw Fiddle Faddle. Time to slink back and pretend that didn't happen..."

Neil Armstrong's Last Words On The Moon-

When Apollo Mission Astronaut Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon, he not only gave his famous “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind” statement, but followed it by several remarks, including the usual COM traffic between him, the other astronauts, and Mission Control. Before he re-entered the lander, he made the enigmatic remark “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky.”Many people at NASA thought it was a casual remark concerning some rival Soviet Cosmonaut. However, upon checking, [they found] there was no Gorsky in either the Russian or American space programs.

Over the years, many people have questioned him as to what the “Good luck, Mr. Gorsky” statement meant. On July 5, in Tampa Bay, FL, while answering questions following a speech, a reporter brought up the 26- year-old question to Armstrong. He finally responded. It seems that Mr. Gorsky had died and so Armstrong felt he could answer the question. When he was a kid, Neil was playing baseball with his brother in the backyard. His brother hit a fly ball which landed in front of his neighbors’ bedroom window. The neighbors were Mr. and Mrs. Gorsky. As he leaned down to pick up the ball, he heard Mrs. Gorsky shouting at Mr. Gorsky, “Oral sex? Oral sex you want? You’ll get oral sex when the kid next door walks on the moon!”

How Trump Fleeced His Own Supporters

luxintenebris jokingly says...

in private, would have put money on 33 not responding to this vid. too real to rationalize away.

too many examples of the former president's criminality - that 'they' ignore(d). nor the security risks he legitimately posed (catch a malcom nance vid sometime). w/o doubt many never actually read any intelligence report(s) on him [mueller].

what is notable is the birds of feather data. farwell, gaetz, the plethora of former cabinet members...all untrustworthy, if not outright hoods.

it's all out in the open; crystal clear; obvious to the most casual observer - but as twain said..."The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant incumbrance. … How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again."

if anything, having suffered through the Orange Reign, that is being proven to be an almost GOD-given truth. maybe chisel that on stone. put an addendum to the ten already listed. epoxy that slab of rock to the local 10 commandments monument.

tho' the line about "No other god before ME" should have covered that. " bearing false witness" works too. come to think of it, Dolt 45 doesn't hold up well against the 7 deadly sins list either.

"The HONEST pre-flight safety video" - Reaction!

BSR says...

From the YT comment section:

"I once asked the pilot of a 737 as I was getting on, how often do these things crash?
He casually replied, usually just the once..."

VLDL: FPS Revive Logic - Downed

StukaFox says...

They need a version of this for the Somme: you stand in a trench, affix your bayonet, go over the top at the sound of the whistle, then walk casually towards the German trenches for about 3 seconds until you're drilled in the forehead by the sniper. Respawn as a name on the Menin Gate (UK version only).

Black Man Gets Pulled Over For Doing 65 in a 70

newtboy says...

There's no such thing as a casual conversation with a racist pig. Only conversation designed to catch you in what they say is some admission or claim you slurred your words so they can violate you more.
Never answer questions. None. You have no obligation to help them investigate you, and that's what questions are. You have a constitutional right to remain silent, use it.

Another good cop? As good as they get now, only blatantly racist by his actions. There's no such thing as a good cop. They're a myth.
Note after seeing this video they aren't a bit convinced there's something wrong with him giving a written warning for not speeding and before they'll even consider looking at his actions they need an official complaint with his name, address, place of work, car model and color, license, and any other identifying information attached....for ID purposes not retaliation. His entire department backs him in this harassment. I'll bet $20 if he went to the precinct to make an official complaint they'll first spend hours dismissively trying to talk him out of it before claiming they're out of forms, come back next week and try again.

A warning for 5 mph under the limit. Yeah....I'm sure he pulls over every little old white lady he sees driving and arrests them, they go 20+mph under 70. What utter bullshit.

These aren't police, not civil servants, and they aren't there to help or keep the peace, they're violent, power tripping thugs, racists, liars, and are all severely lead deficient. The last two weeks have proven it conclusively.

Perry, please make that official formal complaint, and please record that interaction in full. This was not a valid traffic stop, it was an abuse of power by a disrespectful racist asshole who wanted to harass a black man.
