StormsingerThan Bob? You may well be right.
pretty sure alex jones is more intellectually honest and does more rigorous fact checking.
"WTF has Trump done for you,.."
StormsingerIf they were capable of reasoning, they wouldn't still be Republicans.
And so many sticking to their guns and doubling down with no remaining attempts at reason.

StormsingerYeah, I know I'm old...but so are you, Sifty.
I have to say that it really has been a surprisingly wild ride, nothing like anything I'd have ever predicted. And a fair part of that has been influenced by everything and everyone here.
Thanks to all of you.
Happy anniversary! Today marks year number 13 since you first became a Sifter and the community is better for having you. Thanks for your contributions!
Fire Sled
StormsingerThink of it as adding just a hint of chlorine to the gene pool.
Part of me feels dirty for upvoting this, since attention is clearly what these idiots want.
Seth Myers re. NYT Headline "Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism"
StormsingerI'm actually a little impressed that Drumpf could accurately pronounce a four syllable word. That's -WAY- outside his normal vocabulary.
Shepard Smith: Yet again in America
StormsingerWell, until just recently, the NRA had a few million utter fanatics they could mobilize to punish those who displeased them. And it's not like the GOP has demonstrated any actual backbone in the last few decades.
We'll see if the NRA's current meltdown changes things in the next year or two...I suspect it might well do so.
Why is the Republican party so afraid of the NRA? How much money can they donate and lobby? Why can't the anti-gun side mobilize and match the donation like 2~3 folds and dangle the money to the GOP to silence the NRA? Of course it's a gross oversimplification of the issues (NRA can go "mental" and threaten any Republican's families, etc. if I go all cynical), but money is a good start...
Ban assault rifle, raise the price of guns. the manufacturers still make as much money.
Amendment right? Well what about my right to own a nuclear baseball? Anthrax and Agent Orange? It isn't it my right to have them? Stop with the BS amendment right argument.
FPV drone pilot is invited to film a power plant demolition
StormsingerNot in my opinion. I'd much rather see the actual demolition than watch a camera's point of view spin wildly while missing most of the action.
Maybe not a well framed video, but a thousand times more entertaining than just another demolition video. I thought it was awesome to watch as far as demo videos go.
Earth at 2° hotter will be horrific. Now here’s 4° +
StormsingerThe reason he doesn't feel ashamed has more to do with his character than with his understanding of science. He's made that clear years ago...he's incapable of feeling shame, empathy, or even something like common decency.
Just going to search "climate change deniers" and post whatever stupidity you find on YouTube and call it "proof", eh? I know you didn't actually even watch these videos, much less examine their ridiculous claims, you didn't have time.
Too bad you don't understand science a whit, or you would be ashamed of yourself.
Excavator driver decides to take a shortcut
StormsingerAnd a brain to match...solid steel, no doubt about it.
Operator has balls of steel, I'll give him that...
T-34 Tank Battle Scene
StormsingerYet...
I assume this 5 minute video is a supercut of all the battle scenes, spaced out over the length of the actual movie (139 minutes). If that is true, then the amount of slow-motion is acceptable.
The only problem I had with it was that Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't come out and promote World of Tanks (or Mobile Strike or whatever bs video game)
Many will die shortly
StormsingerBecause transporting the toxic waste to a lower altitude costs money. It's pure greed, nothing more.
why do they build these dams on top of hills? I don't get it
Starship Troopers - What's the Difference?
StormsingerBrilliant? OMG, I want some of what you've been smoking!
That was a piss-poor movie that created supposed links to an amazing classic of science fiction. It was barely watchable, but I wouldn't have felt so cheated had it had the decency to stand on its own and not try to steal an audience based on an unrelated book.
When Mum and Dad go dancing...on ice
StormsingerHe doesn't look familiar, but she sure sounds like the chick who insisted that her pizza only be cut into 8 slices because she couldn't eat 12.
Moose walking down the median
StormsingerNah, that makes them barbarians, which is defined as "people who talk funny".
Is being Canadian a mental illness? They talk weird.
Old Guy Takes Down Two Big Trees
StormsingerThe only time we ever cut a tree, we were shocked at how far it "jumped" with the final cut. The base of the trunk flew at least 12-15 feet, coming -way- too close to the truck supplying the tension. That pulley allowing the truck to supply tension from a different direction is nothing short of brilliant. If only youtube had been available in the 70s, we too could have been smart.
