But I’m not just talking to you, I’m also talking to the other people viewing this thread. Just like how it’s laughable to say you can’t be bothered to prove your dubious claims after engaging in communication about a subject half a dozen times over 2 days. The liklier conclusion is that they are as reasonable as your first - possibly true, but no substantive proof given.

I don’t pretend to be a journalist. I hear presenting facts is also important, and you have yet to do that despite your claims.

First, your juvenile ad hominems and wild speculation, not to mention your poor use of language incline me to believe you aren’t a journalist, or at least a journalist that I’m not inclined to think worth reading. But feel free to prove me wrong. Where would I find this article in which you drop pearls of wisdom for the unwashed masses such as myself? Did you get pictures of these earrings that she was handing out? Did she refuse to even let you get pictures, and convince the other recipients of her goods to also shield them from your unworthy focus? And please, don’t tell me you don’t want to advertise your professional work, or that of your peers. You already mentioned it.

Also, I haven’t watched Naruto, but you apparently haven’t seen The Princess Bride.

speculation

You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what you think it means.

As the saying goes, “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”

I’m not speculating at all. I’m pointing our how much of a reach your speculation is. We can’t even be sure they’re there for Trump’s talk. That looks like a convention center, they could be there for something else. I tried to find the location this was taken, but I’m not finding it.

I’m not sure that more loose cannons is the solution to the number we have now. I suppose if he was on a tight leash they could always threaten people to smarten up or they won’t hold him back.

I wouldn’t classify it was witty. Pithy, succinct, a truism, sure, but not particularly notable beyond who said it.

If I was looking for a witty saying by Voltaire, I would go with, “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” Note also that it’s value is not because it is witty, which I believe it is, but because of the content of the words. Unlike your words, which I can only hope was an attempt to be witty, yet also had no content.

I like Lewis, but he might be a little too angry to be in charge of missiles.

Go with the legitimate criticisms. There are many, even in the clothing choices.

Voltaire said, “A witty saying proves nothing.” In your case, this only partly applies.

If 1% of your city are criminals, you let in 200 people, and one of them is a criminal, has the crime rate gone up?

Those damned immigrants.

Edit: Ah, shit, it’s you again…

Care you explain why he’s better? Is it his business acumen? His morality? His honesty? His willingness to do what’s best for the American public? His faith in the bureaucracy that allows any large organization to work? His support of the legal framework of the country? His physical fitness? His intelligence? His past record as president? Honestly, I’m curious why you think he’s the best option for this job.

Like the camel’s nose, once you let a little bit of dictatorship into your country, you soon find out there is no room left for democracy.

So not Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, or even Trinidad and Tobago, it must be a flag from nearly a century ago, if you squint real hard, and ignore the extra stripes and the fact they’re vertical instead of horizontal. It certainly can’t be because of the esthetics of broad vertical stripes and that black and white go with anything, meaning you only have to coordinate with one color. Nah, that’s unreasonable.

I heard it was due to greater blood flow to areas that routinely don’t experience that level of flow, kind of like how you really notice the breeze on your face after you shave off your beard. Now, I don’t have any proof this is it, but a month or so of regular brisk walks should be enough for your cardiovascular system to adapt to the new requirements, causing the sensation to vastly reduce if not disappear completely.

I believe the options were the manssiere or the bro.

Heating/cooling works better with a heat sink, such as concrete. Water is also heavy, so laying it on top of the floor is far easier than suspending it from the ceiling. Also, in many places you will want to both heat and cool, and running heating and cooling in different locations costs up to twice as much. The easiest solution is to move the air, so fans do just fine.

My computer doesn’t support Win11, so I have that going for me. Transitioning to the Steam Deck for my gaming, which has been a slow but mostly positive process. Some of the games don’t play well outside of Windows, but none of the ones I really want to play, and I can always switch to my computer if I do.

I don’t think I’ll ever own a Win11 computer.

A cogent argument. I’m convinced!
