My dad liked to play “kill the kid” where if he caught me walking in the road he would drive at me at 15-20mph, I would jump on the hood, he would hit the breaks so I rolled off, then he would drive off. He said it was to see what the neighbors would do, but he did it at our ranch with no neighbors to see more than once, so…..
Call it a prank, inappropriate joking, fun between a dad and his weird kid, or serious child abuse, it sure beat how my brother treated me…but yes, it left multiple scars I can still see 45 years later…they’re not the only ones. Growing up in Texas in the 70s was dangerous.
Nobody ever said anything. I know some of the neighbors and my mother saw him do it. That’s way scarier and more scaring than the car coming at me.
(Side note- Just because I’m paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t trying to get me!)

Yes, it could go supernova anytime and astronomers agree it will, but you might be waiting a few hundred thousand years or longer. When it eventually does go supernova it will be visible with the naked eye as a star emitting as much light as a full moon but in a single point. You won’t need any magnification at all to see it even in the daytime.

The report has been released….this candidate for attorney general, the highest law enforcement position in the nation, spent over $90k on sex with children and illicit drugs while in office….so much he had a “secret” (not so secret) phone line specifically for drug deals and to set up drug fueled prostitution sessions with high school juniors….children.
The (Vice) president elect knew all this before nominating him for AG, and had no issues with this mid 40s man having paid drugged sex with trafficked CHILDREN.

Still no answer on why he wasn’t prosecuted, especially seeing as they have evidence proving all of it. Think of what this man would refuse to prosecute were he AG.

Finally, only 60 years after the Harrier debuted we have another v-tol fighter.

It’s so weird to see v-tol. It looks *almost fake seeing a plane do that.

*(“almost” because I watched it minimized on an iPad…I want my vote back)

Firstly, Brian Cox did not feature in the video, from what I saw.

Secondly, it said that he predicted it would go supernova in the next 2 weeks. I believe there is no way he said that. Please prove me wrong.

Thirdly it said we might be able to see the supernova from Earth with the naked eye. Yes. We can see the star, therefore we'll be able to see the bright explosion.

Fourthly, I just couldn't watch such awful auto-generated content for that another 10 minutes. I skipped through and judged it bad enough to downvote. I don't usually do that, but I feel it wouldn't stop talking me into it. Sorry.

What would I do if I'm an American far right "Christian" seeing it taking off? CELEBRATE! They're a-OK with re-electing Trump and all the rapists & unqualitified TV personalities to the cabinet posts that Trump can find. What do these MAGA people care? Bring on Doomsday! Yeehaw!

This makes me want to go back and play HL2 Episodes 1 & 2. I know I bought them, but don't remember ever finishing them. HL2 was so technically impressive. Portal 2 was also great, especially the co-op multiplayer. Alyx is a good VR title- it's close to a "killer app" for VR, but not quite there. 1 of the few VR titles compelling enough to keep headset on for more than 1 hour.

Not half-life related, but "old but cool" PC tech from that era: I had a DVD/MPEG2 decoder card that did VGA passthrough, and would replace black pixels with the movie content - so I could watch the Matrix in the background of playing Quake or other FPS (this was a dual PIII-450Mhz). I later installed an ATSC tuner card - one of the first channels that broadcast in HD was Fox, and one of my favorite shows, 24, started to broadcast in HD - and the early days all the makeup artists took advantage of low-res, so as soon as the show went to HD, you could see how fake all the blood, makeup, and other effects were. Hollywood ramped up quickly once the first HDTVs started shipping.
That computer also ran BeOS quite well.

I thought you wouldn’t be able to pin yourself down on any way the next 4 years will be “better”…I was 100% correct.

You might note he and Musk have admitted their economic plan will lead to a depression by next summer, they just think they can rebuild better after they destroy the economy.

Shocker…all maga advisors have already come out to say “yes, project 2025 is real and is our actual agenda.”
Anyone with a brain knew it, sadly that’s only about 1/4 of America. Well…248 years of democracy is still a pretty good record. It would have been nice to see 250 though.

Any Latinos who voted for him are about to find out that even naturalized citizens aren’t safe from their plan…worried?….Puerto Ricans aren’t even safe (recall he wants to “trade” PR for Greenland, and has plans to return Alaska to Russia). It’s going to be interesting times, especially for non white males.
I wonder what his plans for Hawaii are. Are they going to be Chinese in 2 years?

I would like you to pin down EXACTLY how it will be “better”…because the economy was better under Biden, health was better under Biden, crime was better under Biden, deficit was better under Biden….so how EXACTLY will it be better, and pick something that is measured like crime or gdp or unemployment or average lifespan or the stock market, not something ephemeral based on your feelings. Then we can take today’s (or Jan 19ths) measure and see how 2, then 4 years change it. I doubt you’re prepared to stand by your statement, prove me wrong.

Once again, all the looting, burning, bombing, and shootings were right wing nutjobs, just like the two attempted assassins and all the violent Jan 6 insurrectionists. This will definitely embolden them. They may continue to pretend to be left wingers, like the Boogaloo boys did during the 2020 BLM protests, or they may finally feel secure enough to be honest about who they are and what they stand for (like the Boogaloo boys were in their written manifesto only found when they were caught after setting off bombs and shooting cops and blaming BLM).

The media has been on the felon’s side this election, sane washing him daily while scrutinizing her every syllable. Why do you expect a reversal? They’ve been bought by right wing billionaires and are still under threat of losing their license if they don’t pretend the felon is a virile genius superman who does literally everything right.

The economy is doing excellent thanks to Bidenomics. He inherited a failing economy with a negative gdp and record unemployment and record numbers of businesses failing thanks to Trumpenomics. Even inflation is the best in the free world and has been for a long time, and it was your one bad metric to pint to….now you’ve got nothing. 😂

The economy reportedly added 12000 jobs in Oct, a disappointment but hardly the loss you claim….liar. It is the worst month under Biden so far, but heaven compared to the Trump negative numbers.

Some other unknown metric is also now temporarily the lowest it’s been since Trump….HAHAHAHA! You are so incredibly stupid. I bet you don’t know how you ended up eating shit there.

These other numbers are just as fantastical and fantasy.

The economy has added over 16.5 million jobs under Biden, more than every single Republican administration combined even if you remove Trumps disastrous record of LOSING 3 million jobs over his administrations tenure. Such a drop in jobs has never been seen outside of war time.

Who lied to you and told you he lost private sector jobs? Why are you so gullible and incapable of typing into google to see if Pravda is telling the truth (as if you need to)?
Trump lost private sector jobs, 3 million of them. Biden added 16.5 million of them…so because you can’t accept he succeeded you pretend they are all crap jobs with zero evidence and only Russian propaganda to regurgitate. 😂

Enjoy Vlad. Daddy Trump isn’t coming to save mother Russia, Momala Kamala is coming to spank you hard and long then give your toys to Ukraine.

I have never heard of this but loved the look of it, so I was looking at the credits. Not only was there some great talent there, but I'm incredibly proud to see that my tax payments partially funded this.

You're welcome.

Yeah right, he's the epitome of healthy huh?

True, there are far too many chemicals (declared or otherwise on the labels) and we need to regulate a ton out of the food system, his (Trump/Kennedy) idea is dumb as shit. We need more regulation and less Big Food lobbists in Washington.

I'm Canadian, and let me tell you we aren't that much better nor that different than our Southern neighbor in our diet. Stuff we see & buy in the "Big Chain" (of which 3 companies control like 70% of all groceries) supermarkets are 90% the same stuff (and brands) in the USA. If we live slightly longer and healthier, it's probably about moderation. It's crazy looking at the portions we're served at restaurants whenever we're down in the States. And no amount of regulation, or lack thereof, can change that.

TV Hits Trump With 85% Negative News vs. 78% Positive Press for Harris

One week before Election Day, a new analysis from the Media Research Center finds that broadcast evening news coverage of the 2024 presidential race has been the most lopsided in history. Since July, ABC, CBS and NBC have treated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris to 78 percent positive coverage, while these same networks have pummeled former Republican President Donald Trump with 85 percent negative coverage. (See Methodology explanation at the end of this post.)

The difference in coverage between the two candidates is far greater than in 2016, when both Trump and then-challenger Hillary Clinton received mostly negative coverage (91% negative for Trump, vs. 79% negative for Clinton). It’s even greater than in 2020, when Joe Biden was treated to 66 percent positive coverage, vs. 92 percent negative for Trump.

The main reason for the imbalance: Since July, the Big Three have swamped their audiences with more than 230 minutes of airtime — virtually all of it negative

Is he saying, "Nice to see if the video pays"?
