As a young exec decades ago, I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental. It blew my mind with its service. When I called the front desk, they addressed me by naime (unheard of then). I stepped out for a few minutes and they were in my room refreshing my fruit bowl. Wish I could afford that shit now.

wars between technical colleges? Leading to fucking gang murders on the streets? Just when I think the market for crazy humans is saturated, a new entrant pops up.

Typically it's X-No can do Triangle - maybe can do. (often supposedly 'learning') Circle - can do Double circle - good at this. (maybe likes it too).

I thought the Dems should have gone for the jugular when Biden got voted in, but he lacked the balls to match republican tactics.

Presidents have little power over inflation or the economy. Trump won't change much unless he really does go full tariff and our economy tanks in a trade war. Fortunately for me, the republicans solution to all problems is tax cuts for the rich and businesses. I'll do great. Those who think he's going to save them, not so much. People want change. They may decide the status quo wasn't so bad when the house burns to ground. Pedophile for Attorney General. Dog killer for Homeland Security. A Fox news reporter for Defense Secretary.

I wish we could force people to take a civics exam before counting their vote. Too corruptible a thing, but I wish people had to show they have some idea about how things work instead of the moronic, "I like him. I'd have a beer with him."

damned by faint praise.

To our foreign friends, I think most of us are trying to understand it too. The only explanation is that most americans are selfish idiots with no understanding of economics who somehow believe when an orange idiot tells him he will save them from a failing economy (the economy is great actually), they believe him. It is the fatal flaw of democracy. If you let every idiot vote, they will. But fear not, they won't need to bother voting soon enough... As a rich white guy, I'm going to be fine, but I weep for the shithole my country has become. Those morons think America is great. They are wrong.

Look at Hillary. I think the election says more about misogyny and racism than it does about policy. She couldn't rally people because she lacked the right colored penis.

Obvious to any of us with even a lick of history.

Morons always love demagogues. Since they're morons, they don't know or care about how voting strong men into leadership ends. New batch of 'undesirables', same old playbook.

The revenge angle makes more sense. Bridge can be played for money, but it very rarely is.

As I bridge player I heard about that at the time. It convinced me that the local police are pretty out there in lala land.

brave is my typical browser.

No, I have a vpn and I normally tie my ip to vancouver bc. If I'm cruising rentmen it gives me the full readout which it doesn't to US ip addresses. So I'm saying I tried from Canada and it worked for me from Vancouver.
