There was a movie about this last year. It was based on a true story, but strays a bit from what actually happened. It's pretty good. It's called Hitman.

Under normal circumstances, you ask the questions to get a record of the answers, so that you can prove the answers are lies. The more information the accused has when they provide answers, the more thoroughly they can lie.

With Mango Mussolini, there's never any consistency to his blatant lies, and he never pays any price for changing his story. Everyone knows he's a liar, so he can be as brazen as he wants to be because he knows he can lie without losing supporters.

So I'm with you. Democrats will circle up like a lacrosse team at a prep school mixer. Oh shit, Campbell is gonna go ask Lauren Z to dance. Let's go back him up. Here he goes-OH she said no... no wait he said "PSYCH!" He wasn't really asking, I bet she feels so dumb. Sick burn, Campbell. Let's go throw empty yoohoo bottles onto the roof of the auxiliary building and talk about what boobs probably look like.

That's what I picture every time I read about the Congressional Democrats. Campbell, Monty, Gunner, Brook, Tripp, Blake, and Gian, all hanging around in blazers and sweatervests talking about how cool it's going to be when they finally do something someday.

The death penalty is not justice, it is vengeance.

I'm just guessing, but I bet the downvotes have more to do with the clickbait headline. It should read: Harris Did Not Wear Earbuds or whatever.

No shit. Restaurants are an inefficient way to distribute food.

The entire ballot measure is riddled with lies and doublespeak. This is just one example, and that's what makes it hard to describe the problem in clear and succinct language. Vinny Gambini's opening statement comes to mind.

Three things you can do without spending any money:

Vote in every election.

Talk to your family and friends and coworkers about politics. Make it OK to share your thoughts on current events, and challenge the people around you when their ideas are problematic. Most of all, encourage everyone to vote.

Volunteer. Support a campaign by phone banking or writing postcards or working at the polls or driving voters who wouldn't otherwise have access to the polls.

I feel like this has been done. There was an AI generated "debate" between Biden and Trump that was mostly swear words. But it was trained on their speeches and was mostly gibberish and insults.

Edit: It was on Twitch, and users could add inputs and questions.

Was it an assassination attempt? Seems more like a concept of an attempt.

The scary-cool name is there to help defenders take it seriously. If you give them a stupid name, elected leaders, business executives, and military leaders won't take them seriously. It also becomes easier to tell them apart, and create identities. Who do they like to attack, how do they operate, what level of threat do they pose, etc. And then of course it sounds more impressive when you defeat them. Batman doesn't get any respect for beating Condiment Man, but if he takes down Darkseid, people take notice.

I've got the opposite problem. My son has always been tall. He's 11 and he's 5'8". People have been looking at us sideways for years. I even have a shirt that says

DAD
est: 2013

that I wear it when we go to amusement parks.

Fair, I don't know much about Georgia.

 

I heard someone say this in a video recipe, followed by way more cheese than you should eat at once. It occurred to me that the phrase means ample, not nutritious.

 

Has this ever happened to you? There's a fly in the house, buzzing around you, so you go to the cabinet to get the swatter. But as soon as you start wielding it, the little bastard disappears. You set it down, and now he's back, taunting you.

Ok so obviously flies don't taunt, but do they have the capacity to recognize, even instinctually, that I'm holding a deadly weapon?
