the problem is fear mongering by the likes of Fox

And that's how you keep rednecks from red states feeling superior... through outright lying.

Back in the Cold War days, Albania was the poorest and most undernourished country in all of Europe, yet the population believed they were the richest.
The method for spreading this type of lie has been adopted and polished by the right-wing propaganda machine.

Who's doing the work in the fields?
Immigrants, mostly from Latin America.

Blatant hysterical lies do not fall under "news" nor "entertainment", rather under propaganda.

But you probably ain't gonna make the dumb person any smarter.

"It happened to me! To me!!!"

Maybe she could have also gone like this every time Kyiv and/or Odessa and/or any and all Ukrainian cities have been relentlessly attacked for the past 500+ days. But just as I'm not expecting water to be squeezed out of a rock, neither am I expecting reason and empathy coming out of these lazy, cruel, mindless savages.

What a meat muppet. "Muppet" as opposed to "puppet", because it's not about the kremlin strings but their arm up his ass.

There was this duplex in '82 that was showing Blade Runner (rated R) on one screen and Clint Eastwood's Cold War thriller Firefox (rated PG) on the other. As an unaccompanied teen I had to see Firefox, but I do remember that Vangelis soundtrack, which you could hear from the lobby area. I really wanted to see it then, but it didn't happen until I rented the VHS tape a year later, maybe even a bit longer than that.

I saw Tron in the theater in 1982! How about that? I'd forgotten all about it, until just now that I read the word "Tron".

There was an arcade next door, of course - they had the Tron game! A guy was playing like a wizard, I asked if he'd gone next door to see it, he looked at me and said - "I've seen it four times". I wonder where that guy is now. Did he go into computer engineering or something like that, just at the right time when the industry was about to explode in size?

Potato - potatoe, tomato - tomatoe.

You see 196 as

queer and especially trans friendly

I see it as a garden of shitposting delights.

In their mindless tunnel-vision, they have tried their damnedest to dehumanize Ukrainians, and in the process - inevitably - the only ones they have objectively dehumanized are themselves.

Or maybe a more fitting term would be that they have subhumanized themselves. And they have done this over and over and over again, in Georgia, in Chechnya, in Crimea, etc. They are parasitic.

I would like to know more.

This did the trick. Thank you!

The article makes no mention of the possibility of this being a binary system of some sort, although I would guess the physics involved for this type of burst are equally lacking in current models.

Most often a deep cut from the album is the best one.
This is as deep a cut as I've ever seen.

I see what you're saying. But what if we tweak things a little:
Math is real, it is numbers that are invented, the discreet packets in a ruler, a measuring stick. Like an imaginary line in a grid, such as the tropics and equator.

They are incapable of understanding that it is the lack of progressive policies that keep their region a neglected backwater.

I know a Reverend Kolunda reference when I see one.

"The Windbreaker!"
"Precisely! Let's go!"
