Desi Lydic Foxsplains: Why Did Putin Invade Ukraine?

luxintenebris says...

off-subject slightly...but how can american history be taught w/o ratting out all the bad american history?

crt isn't much different than this...
https://www.thoughtco.com/meyer-v-nebraska-1923-4034984
...lead by hatred against americans w/german names

even pride in great americans can lead to some dark truths...
https://www.militarytimes.com/video/2017/02/17/eugene-bullard-the-black-swallow-of-death/
...that's someone whose life was worth a chapter in a h.s. history books itself.

all of it !?

how different can american history be that much different than today's news?! a lot of todays' spectacles are hard to behold.

it's all on a scale. bad w/the good. why be afraid?

Aaaaaahahahaha! …….Aaaaaaa…..Aaaaaaa…..Aaaaaaahahahahaha!!!
Stop, I can’t breath. You are so hilariously funny.

And Russia didn’t invade Ukraine during Trump’s tenure. Derp!

Sorry that polling and reality disagree with your ignorant, uneducated opinion so thoroughly….but it’s a fact. Multiple polls after the state of the union (not on Fox or Pravda Social) were 71%-80% positive. So much better than little Don John did on his best poll ever on anything.

Clearly you only listened to high school dropout Boebert, not the speech…or you are incapable of recognizing solutions (after Trump, not surprising, he loved to call creating problems “solutions”). Going after the assets of the oligarchs is just one of many solutions that’s having major effects already you utter moron. Unifying NATO and the UN is another.

Yeah, 80% failure among ignorant idiotic cultists who think Boebert and Green’s inability to be professional, civil, or have any manners or self control whatsoever was a shining example of proper behavior and support their public outburst over not supporting our troops then went on to vote against supporting those very same injured troops the next day (look it up), but among the thinking public, up to 80% positive. ROTFLMFAHS! Coward Cadet Bone Spurs never offered solutions, only division and wastefulness, complete capitulation to despotic dictators, and self aggrandizement.
Talk about gullible, you believed Trump…you still do. You believed Covid wasn’t dangerous, lockdowns weren’t useful, Trump is a good businessman, the right isn’t blatantly racist, trickledown works, Trump’s tax breaks were for everyone, the wall is a good idea and Mexico will pay for it, the election was stolen, ….the list of bat shit crazy insanity you believe could fill three long books.

Cranial Rectosis is curable, Bob. You just need to push and pull at the same time.

You’ve been wrong on every point you’ve made politically for over a decade Bob, don’t you ever want to be correct instead of just extremely Right? Don’t you hate being the party of feelings rather than facts, a cult of personality? That used to be a complaint FROM the right, now it’s 100% descriptive of them.

BTW, the clip you posted of CNN discussing his lower poll numbers, the “slip”, are talking about a slip in their polls from 78%-71%, lower than you might expect from just Democrats (but then, that’s not who they polled) about 25% higher than Trump ever reached on his best day. LMFAHS you deluded ijit!!!

Remember how you love to ignore history and claim Democrats are the party of racism? How many Democrats are members of extremist racist organizations, because the entire Freedom Caucus is and the Republican Party has no problems with that. No censure for holding white supremacist rallies, only for investigating an attack on the capitol by racist terrorists….that gets a censure. But sure, Republicans aren’t racists…they just really love racist imagery, speech, and actions. 🤦‍♂️

Jesus, you’re dumb Bob. Always spouting off about things you know nothing about but feel certain ways about, and you’re always wrong. Try looking up what you think is true before posting, you’ll find that 90+% of what you believe intentionally runs contrary to reality and fact…the other 9.9% is honest mistake or misunderstanding.

Damn you are gullible.
Biden's Sate of the Union speech was a 80% failure. Biden offered no solutions to current issues

To state there was a 78% favorably rating is is foolish.


Critical Race Theory: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

luxintenebris says...

good video. quality information and commentary.

if they want to pass a law how 'bout having to read the books they want to ban? then give a book report on it to the teachers and school board. have them list the offense(s) of the book.

kill the monster in its stride.

addendum: some serious consideration on charter schools

also plenty of reports on devos' devastation in MI if one wants to review how well it hasn't work.

Sam Harris | Joe Rogan and the Ethics of Apology

noseeem jokingly says...

Nice that he gets the understanding and benefit of the doubt. So what about Whoopi?

She hosts a show based on sharing viewpoints. She gave her's. Nothing offense other than, perhaps, ignorance (like that's in short supply nowadays) which could have been checked during the show. Maybe throw Joy under the bus too? Behar and Goldberg. (oh. the irony)

The zaniness of talking about "Maus" being banned, then having a decent, honest human, punished for something so much, much, less trivial is madding.

"Man's inhumanity to man" gets her quiet time. Which book are they throwing at her?

If Joe can be tolerated for more, Whoopie should be for less.

Orangutan understands 72 words!

noims says...

I was so hoping for Azy to know the word for a book.

I know it wouldn't have made sense, but it's got 'ook' right there in the word!

Re-Entry | A Short Film about Life and Death

BSR says...

The solution to the Bible puzzle is that "GOD" is the name given to the person reading the book. The Neverending Story.

Hence what I think is the best lesson from the Bible….”Treat others as you would have them treat you.” The rest is all unnecessary filler I can do without.

I like ice cream! Huzzah!

Jury Finds Kim Potter Guilty Of Manslaughter

cloudballoon says...

Only in America: where cops in general have far less regards for human life and its "patriots" consider as normal & just, while throwing more public money at them without questions other than "Do you need more? Just ask!"

I doubt the sentencing judge will book Potter to anything worse than Club Fed though.

bobknight33 said:

A True injustice.
Hopefully the judge will rule as time served.

Not for lack of trying.

Trump didn’t steal the election…..

…..but he sure as fuck tried to, in dozens of illegal and unethical ways, and with 62 ridiculous lawsuits (in the hopes that his appointed judges would return the favor and appoint him president), and with a deadly coup… he’s still trying to. He just failed. Jesus fucking Christ, you ijit. Failing in your efforts to steal, getting caught, doesn’t erase the fact that you’re a thief. Duh.

Biden didn’t steal the election…he won by getting more votes, something Trump has never done, so it’s not surprising he thinks the person with fewer votes should win….but it’s pretty sad and 100% anti American that your ilk agree.

Trump has stolen at every turn from anyone involved with him his entire life, he (ghost) wrote books bragging about it, from routinely not paying contractors, using his position on boards to hire his own companies at exorbitant rates for jobs they often don’t do (but still get paid) bankrupting projects, creating projects designed to fall into bankruptcy after he strips the assets, stealing from students with his fraudulent university, stealing from veterans with his fraudulent charities, stealing from banks by inflating his assets then defaulting on loans intentionally, stealing from the US by tax fraud. Trump’s never had a business dealing where he didn’t screw over his investors by fraud or just outright theft.

Trump is a consummate thief, repeatedly convicted of or admitting fraud. Theft by fraud isn’t just theft, it’s theft compounded, often by horrifically destructive unpatriotic lies, that’s about as unethical as it gets.

🤦‍♂️

BTW, Trump has never won an election by getting more votes, since you forget.

World's longest drone fpv one shot.

rancor says...

The sound is always all foley for videos like this, but usually really well done. The most technical part in my book is flying backwards, that's totally blind (unless perhaps a 360 camera was used, but I don't get that sense).

Actually, how about that? There's a pretty sweet "making of" to go with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWfv6QZ87k0

That's a pretty silent drone. Looks like a lot work and skill.

newtboy says...

Better get your tickets to Trump/OReilly before they sell out…..
Oh, never mind, they’re only running at 5-10% capacity at the small (10000 - 15000 seat) stadiums that they booked. That means a free upgrade is guaranteed, buy nose bleed seats, you’ll be sitting in the floor seating anyway.
But he’s so popular, how can that be? His photoshopped photos show every single seat filled…too bad for them local news also took footage showing the reality of near empty stadiums.

The Matrix Resurrections – Official Trailer 2

I dont watch movie previews if I plan to see the movie. But then I also read books sometimes. I can actually will myself to not press the button.

Terry Pratchett on Why we need to believe in things...

TheFreak says...

He has no fleshy bits to talk with. His voice is just in your head.

The descriptions of Death in the books are pretty interesting. Like I'm pretty sure he can move through solid objects because he exists forever, so he's existed at a time when that solid object wasn't there.

lucky760 said:

Wait.

Why doesn't this Skeletor's mouth move when he's talking?

Hmph.

Terry Pratchett on Why we need to believe in things...

vil says...

I saw this whole movie and its not bad.

The books are great.

You have to believe in something to have a goal in life but you need to pick well.

Justice and mercy (opposites in a way, no?) are IMHO good things to hope for, hoping to prove election fraud is like praying your neighbors goat should die. Morals and politics are a personal choice. Morals are what you hope to be and politics are what you hope the world around you will be.

Pratchett does a good job explaining to kids that its how you change yourself is more important than how you change the world.

The universe offers entropy.

Jury finds 3 men guilty for the murder of Ahmaud Arbery

newtboy says...

Not just fire two, but prosecute one for obstruction and violation of her oath of office, a felony, because she hid the fact that one defendant had worked for her for years, had called her directly immediately following the shooting, and was her personal friend…and fired the outside prosecutor she had suggested because they both hid that she had hired him to advise police to drop the case, and hid the fact that his son worked in her office….he later recused himself for conflicts of interest only after the FBI became involved.

https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/ex-prosecutor-charged-in-ahmaud-arbery-case-booked-at-jail

The fix was in on this case too, but the subversion was caught in time, unlike Rittenhouse who’s judge needs firing and prosecution too.

bcglorf said:

The fact the sate had to essentially fire two DA's for not wanting to pursue the case before it finally was moved forward is the sad tag line underneath the correct verdict being reached in spite of that.

Can Spinlaunch throw rockets into space?

maestro156 says...

Yeah, 20000ft is roughly 6km. The air density is about 1/2 but from what I can determine that doesn't equal 1/2 air resistance, but something more like 90-95% air resistance of sea level.

Having said that, I haven't studied aerospace engineering, so I might be getting the details wrong.

There are definitely some minor advantages to building on a mountainside, but I don't think they outweigh logistical difficulties under normal circumstances.

The idea has a good bit of scifi (and probably scientific) history behind it though. I believe Heinlein used a railgun cargo launcher from the moon in Moon is a Harsh Mistress and a mountainside sled rocket in one of his earlier books.

Project Rho is a great resource for hard scifi and rocketry research for writers. http://www.projectrho.com/public_html/rocket/surfaceorbit.php is the link to a page that discusses maglev, railguns and rocketsleds.

newtboy said:

I’m thinking Mt Chimborazo in Ecuador…at over 20000 ft, it’s peak it the farthest from the center of the earth (while not being the highest above sea level thanks to the equatorial bulge).
Sure, it doesn’t remove air resistance or friction, but halving it, even cutting it by 1/3 is a massive leap in efficiency and negates much of the extreme engineering and materials needed to overcome the friction….plus, as you mentioned, there’s the rotational speed advantage from launching on the equator vs Florida.
Also, while extremely minor, there’s also a slight reduction in gravitational pull at those heights. A joule saved is a joule earned!
