@#49 ...white only buses owned by white folk.. I see nothing wrong with this ..

Oh, there is so much wrong with that assertion of segregation.

I have to ask, is your current alias just trying to be provocative to get replies (as your current alias and the current bellringer alias seem to do), or is that a true opinion it holds?

@#48 ... 19 families buy nearly 97 acres of land in Georgia to create a city safe for Black people ...

And the rules for settling in that community are?

Was it restricted to "Black-only?"

I did not see that in my quick scan of the article your current cites.

Did I miss something?

thx.

And, if I may add, really, this is what your current alias stoops to in order to generate replies?

Wow, jus' friggin' wow.

So lame.

Wait, what?

A sample size of one?

What else yer got?

I am of two opinions on this topic.

One side of me says... they brothers have been model prisoners, acting in a good manner.

The other side of me says, when they were young, they were brutally abused by their parents, and they reacted. Was that reaction appropriate? Counrts say, "no."

OK, should their behavior in prison negate their prior behavior?

I readily admit, the answer to that question goes beyond my legal knowledge.

Of course, it is looking more and more like a cover-up with each passing information release.

But, why the apparent need for a cover-up?

@#19 This idiocy is dreamt up by truly perverted and clueless self-righteous a------- looking for a reason to hate. ...

Yup.

But the question remains, what do those making these accusations think about all the time?

And, fwiw ...

@#44 ... Do you see any whities crying about it? Why not? ...

Please cite the law or community rule that excludes them.

thx.

##42 ... If people choose to self-segregate, why is that a problem ...

Your current alias stated it... segregate.

@#12 ... What if it hears you rubbing one out? ...

Yeah, that's my concern.

It seems to be an open microphone in the house, sending what it hears to a server in ~who knows where.~

Would you want an open microphone in your house recording everything it hears?

Think about that.

Of course, the question that needs to be asked is ...

Why this focus upon what is little more than crystalized soot?

@#15,16,17

All your current alias seems to have are insults?

Got anything of substance, for a change?

@#4

Yeah.

Maybe at this point it may be worthwhile to look at those who are trying to distance thmselves from the Trump admin, rather than those who seem to be sucking the teat of the Trump admin?

From the cited article ...

... The settlements are an about-face for the billionaire, whose company fought with former workers over whether it owed them severance pay. ...

OK, so, maybe like Pres Trump, do not pay those who do work for you?

Yeah, VP Vance still seems to have an issue determining who/what he is.

More from the article ...

... His job for the next six months was to embed with soldiers at the base, documenting their missions in short articles for military publications and local papers back in the U.S. During assignments that took him "outside the wire," as the troops called the areas beyond the boundaries of the base, he would carry a notebook, a camera and a rifle, just in case.

A few years earlier, this assignment would have thrilled Hamel, a bookish teenager from southwestern Ohio who had enlisted in the Marines with dreams of "heading to the Middle East to kill terrorists," as he would later write.

But now, two years into his enlistment, his faith in the American mission was flagging. During a stopover at a military base in Kuwait en route to Iraq, Hamel and a fellow public affairs Marine had overheard a conversation in the base's chow hall between a group of lieutenants.

After two and a half years of fighting in Iraq, one of the lieutenants said, the mission on the ground was stalling out. As soon as American troops cleared Iraqi insurgents from one region, those same insurgents would retake the same area. ...

So, yet another example of the Trump admin ~shooting the messenger?~

@#34 ... Anyone is able to go to either place, legally. .. m

The thread appears not about "going to" but "living in."

What else yer current trolling alias got?

Towns here in CT seem to be asking their residents about the water pipes feeding their homes, looking for lead pipes.

imo, it is good that the town officials do not seem to view their citizens as lead-immune lizards.

More from the cited article ...

... "These animals are performing at full capacity despite record-setting lead levels, making them one of the most, if not the most, lead-tolerant animals known to science," Blanchette says.

Transcriptomic analyses of the animals' brain and liver tissue showed only minor effects from lead exposure, although several altered genes were linked to metal ion regulation and oxygen transport. ...

@#3, 34, 35, 36

So nothing to #32, which seems to be the topic of this thread?

So lame.

OK, I have to say, I see something quite similar here.

Comcast is my ISP. I will say upfront, I have a significant respect for Comcast's ISP Engineering team. The broadband service provided is excellent.

OK, that aside ...

My first question is ...

Why do Comcast's Marketing and Support teams seem to actively try to undermine the efforts of the Engineering team so frequently?

OK, I tried the Comcast support website, and I engaged with its support chatbot. The bot got stuck in a loop, unable to answer a question I asked. I was not able to get the bot to leave that loop, so all I could do was disconnect, with no answer to my question.

Then I tried calling 1-800-COMCAST for help.

I was faced with a similar (the same?) bot.

Useless in trying to resolve the problem I was experiencing with the Comcast TV service.

I asked multiple times to talk with a human, but those requests ere greeted with diversions by the bot.

Then I went to the local Comcast store.

The rep I sat and talked with seemed to be more concerned with the number of customers processed than my problem. I was given bot-like responses to my questions.

Maybe that is why ...
