I am surprised Epstein didn’t have a dead man’s switch on his files. I suppose the Mossad or Putin has a copy and is retaining it for continued leverage. I wonder if someone will expose the falsifications.

Sounds like Megan knows there is a video of Donald in Epstein’s files (He had a bunch of carefully documented CDs). I think I can envision how her deposition would go:

Q. Did Donald make child porn?

M.K. No, Donald didn’t know he was being filmed, Epstein did that to have leverage over him.

Q. Did Donald get blackmailed by Epstein?

M.K. No, they were friends.

Q. So Donald just started in the child porn / statutory rape video for fun?

M.K. Fuck you, Donald’s a great man and the president.

Q. Objection, non-responsive.

We can’t see the video because it is child porn, but Donald is not a pedo because she was 15. At least that is how I see this playing out.

This is just the beginning. Facial recognition rolling out. Your doorbell cam probably already supports it. Outstanding warrants? They’ll know where you are. Overstayed you visa? The facial recognition found you.

You weren’t home when the crime was committed, and we don’t have any camera records of you being anywhere else, so now you are a suspect.

Hope I am just being paranoid, but I’m too cynical to be optimistic at this point.

Boomers were buying houses 45 years ago. Buy 30 years ago they were on their third or fourth move. I think the struggle of buying a $35,000 house on an annual $12k salary was a little different than the fantasy of buying a $500k house on a $36k salary.

A deal would imply that they extracted some concessions. This was just a capitulation.

Problem: people are starving. Response: not a bug, actually a feature.

I imagine the disputes would get heated.

This is what those 2A advocates are always on about, right?

Maybe you should swear in the Democrat that Arizona elected, Mike? Since they are required.

But what if he and Chris Roberts did a collab?

GenX has never had nor will it ever have significant political power. Outnumbered by older and younger generations. Also, I doubt we’re very unified in our political beliefs and asperations since we tend to be pretty independent and mostly want to avoid attracting too much attention.

If he found the cognitive function test very hard…

Gambling and the NBA, name a more iconic duo.

Time to deploy bioweapons to take care of the problem.

I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.

The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

My friend who works for the government is having to get food from food banks because of the shutdown.

Can he just die already? Sick of Moscow Mitch.

From the same party that wants to charge minority children as adults if they misbehave. Actual adults are just kids though.

Only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.

Trump: “I can’t believe they fell for it. What marooons.”

He’ll probably sell them toasters that burn down their houses next.

Except that vaccines partially work because of herd immunity. My kid is and was vaccinated against whooping cough, but enough fucktards here in Texas refuse vaccines that it is spreading and he caught it despite being vaccinated. He was ultimately fine because he was 14 with a good immune system, but pertussis can be fatal for some patients, especially those too young to get vaccinated.

You don’t sound like your smart enough to understand this explanation, but at least I tried.

Just wait until they are Gen X age. Decades of this beating, still no real political power, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I can’t wait to lose my job to an AI that can’t actually do what I do, so that I can starve to death like some pathetic Dostoevsky character.
