Yep. There's some wisdom right there relating to a collective consciousness that's foreign to me. When I was learning German in High School we read a book called "Die Welle" ("The Wave") set in a school where a social experiment went wrong and basically set up a microcosmic parallel to Nazi Germany. Leaders require followers, through fear, likemindedness or both.

@crenca sounds like a very "constrained vision" of the world. I'm sure Sowell et all would be sympathetic. On the other hand, a lot of my neighbors here in DC, many of whom call the shots, operate from a different paradigm.

@crenca...

Sorry, but even if we do think about all that stuff, it isn't going to save us from *Putin.*

And maybe the "west's" ego is so huge, some of it can't bear to think there is stuff happening which it may not have caused. People may talk, or not talk, about "proxy war" but whatever.... Putin still walked into Ukraine.

Talk is talk. Putin is Putin.

But Cash changed them up and made them his. This is more like a straight up cover.

Done in a Colonel Kurtz way no doubt, eh @purr1n. Can't stand Coldplay no matter how it's sliced so I'll pass on this one.

Some songs on "A Rush Of Blood To The
Head" are beautiful. Coldplay ,after that album became very spotty with song writing and composition.

In other words the kids are hogging that setup nowadays in the @purr1n house. Must handle drums well.

@purr1n hqve you compared Lyr+ to the Lyr 3? Really not clear if the + is worth the upgrade.

The sonic upgrade is incremental. The features and quality of life is better: better resistor relay pot (with no ratchety ratechety shit), great sounding solid state mode, remote, pre-out can be turned off, etc.

It's in the application - the energy creating it, liquifying it, and integrating it into a passenger vehical sized application is difficult to say the least.

Oil is a gift from God - you can poke a hole 1/2 way across the world, ship it and refine it, deliver it, and integrate it's use in a passenger vehicle so easily (and thus $cheaply$) it's hard for anything else to make any kind of sense...unless your a true believer of a planetary apocalypse ...

Oh, the planetary apoc is coming, from overconsumption and overpopulation. However, those are very convenient truths for the rich greenies. They think they can buy their way out with Teslas.

I heard Marthas Vineyard is sending a bus of Karens to DeSantis' house.

Hopefully this political stunt to which crazychile refers will help DeSATAN see the error of his ways :)

Are you kidding me you virgins @crazychile and @crenca? FL is full of Karens!

@purr1n agree 100%. They are nothing but a pestilence on this earth. While a monarchy would never float in the USA, Queen Elizabeth II was a classy woman.

And King Charles III only gets to reign for 7 years.

Who cares? Give the people food and entertainment. Take care of yourself and let the herd wander. Find greener pastures before the herd notices and disappear.

I would be extremely unhappy if my sense of tase was compromised. Luckily I never had to deal with it even with catching covid

Take care, the next months might be tricky.

Wishin' the Cap'n a speedy and full recovery.

They know they are playing with death by opposing Putin. Kind of like standing against the Mob - because Russia is now the Russian Mob organization.

Get well soon ! I hate being sick since you can't hear for shit !

very sorry, man... that's the worst. hope you're recovering well

Influenza is no joke. Hope you and the family get well soon.

Here be dragons.

Dude just go fishing with the fam and come back in a little while. Shit's a little weird at the moment.

come back whenever this actually feels fun to come back to...

Good one! Except one actually gives a shit about others and the other is endorsed by a piece of shit traitor.

charcuterie board all the way! my favorite place for charcuterie meats closed due to covid though...

i also suspect there is some other reference i'm missing here

Crudities? Horses' Douvres?

I couldn't even finish it.

Wrong Movie, you should seen the new DBZ Film.

lol I turned Tomorrow War off after 30 mins. Supposedly Chris Pratts TV show thing (The Terminal List I think is the name) is good though, but haven't given it a shot yet.

LA doesn't even prosecute petty theft anymore to my knowledge. I had a coworker in Winetka voluntarily pay off his neighbor so they wouldn't rob him. I can understand why Marv left CA.

Why am i not surprised, i mean not like things here are getting better either don’t get me wrong…

Anne Heche has passed away.

I'll stay out your way. ;)

"...Azimuth I'll stay out your way. ;)..."

You darn well better you pedo facist incil boomer father raper ;)

@crenca, being the saint I am, I would never stoop to such crassness. BTW, your comment was funny as heck.

Weeb

Maybe more the intended style?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJFu8nijjMA

Nope.

I was following that, proper WTF moment. Dude was giving a speech and gunned down in broad daylight.

Don't know much abt Japanese politics, but if the shooter is not just a nutjob I am very curious about what his beef w/ Abe was.

Bad week for gun control advocacy. Red flag laws fail in Illinois and Japan, which has basically no private gun ownership, has some rando build a shotgun out of plumbing parts and kill a former PM.

Better karma: no apple devices, ever! (And no MS software either)

@Riotvan The downside is that iPhone jacks die. People upgrade so often that they don't know this. But I had to scrap my 5.5-year-old iPhone SE (2016) because charging became very undependable. I replaced it with the 13 Mini, but I had rather have smaller phone.

@Claritas my 7plus of a similar age still works fine so does a 10 year old ipad air. My newer ipad pro has usb-c which feels much more flimsy. Am up for a new phone since this one is getting slow and the battery is toast, if the new 14 still has lighting i wouldn't mind it. Only use it for charging or dongle.
