#22 One time I was in line at Vons when the lady behind me sneezed. I said, "Bless you," and she started screaming at me that "Only my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ can bless me!" I just shook my head and carried on.

People who are itching for a war with Iran are daft. Saudi Arabia has state-of-the-art weaponry supplied by the USA; let them fight their own goddamn wars.

#23, Thanks!

#18/19 I am fascinated by this technology, but I am a liberal arts guy, not a science guy; I wish I had paid more attention in math & science classes. Do you think we (or anybody else) has and EMP weapon of some kind in orbit?

#16 Perhaps a space weapon system is disguised as something else? Maybe the X-37B has something hidden within, for instance.

#13 I've read that what is publicly acknowledged is 30 years behind what we actually have, in terms of military technology.

#23 I have a couple of friends who've made a religion of this insufferable nonsense, along with Flat Earth Conspiracies and Staged Moon Landing Conspiracies. I love them, but they're idiots.

And here is the guy who admits to making this hoax video (in 2011), complete with footage and explanation as to how he altered it:

Here's the Popular Mechanics article about WTC-7. You know, science:

Anyway, the idea that this video has gone "unseen" is itself a hoax; this guy has had it on YouTube since 2011:

"Kudzu my wife is a structural engineer and says the opposite.
So you're cancelled out."

It sounds like Kudzu is more of a "sanitation engineer."

"Project Thor.....

That's actually what it sounds like. Do you think such a system is currently deployed and operational?

My all-time favorite band. I dig this song. Roger sounds like an old bear.

#75 Elvis will always be the coolest, Daddy-o.

Wouldn't it be less confusing to just have a thirds set of singular pronouns for non-binary folks? If heard things like xie, xer, xers floated. That seems linguistically more sound than using a set of plural pronouns to refer to a single person.

#56 ". They're completely ignorant of how impossible it is to vote in someone else's precinct when you cross a name off a list based on an address. If someone with the same name shows up using that address, there's a huge flag and the second person can't vote."

What if the "second person" is the legitimate voter in this scenario? Is he/she disenfranchised because nobody asked the fraudster for ID? Don't get me wrong; I don't think it's the least bit common, but it's an exploitable flaw.

54. You think who an individual votes for ought to be a matter of public record, or just campaign donations?

#52 I don't. I don't think whom I vote for or whose campaign I contribute to ought to be a matter of public record, either, as long as I'm not breaking any laws about it. If the old lady who checks me in wants me to prove I'm the Karabekian on the voters' roster, then I'll show her my passport. None of the rest ought to be anybody's business but my own.

#43 Then why do they have a curtain at the voting booth?

#38 I HAVE to watch Debra Messing because she's in The Mothman Prophecies, and it's one of my all-time favorite movies. I watch it two or three times a year. I don't care if she's left, right, or apolitical. She's good in that movie.

#36 The town I live in isn't very conservative, but it's political and brutal in a small-town way.

#34 One time I gave a local politician about a hundred bucks for his campaign. My name was printed in the local newspaper about it (a whole list of this guy's donors, in fact). I was told it was a legal obligation, but I don't know for sure. I don't remember seeing any other candidate's donors being publicized in the same way. It was disconcerting and weird. These kinds of lists can turn into "hit" lists of one kind or another very easily.

#31 Free speech can't be anonymous?

#29 I'd have to vote for Aborted Monson as King of the DR Trolls by a substantial margin.

I like Musk; I think he's an interesting character.
