The forum engine also hasn't been updated in five years; that seems like an issue. I know XenForo charges for upgrades, but it might be worth it after this much time, especially since we managed to get hacked twice in a row before and it turned out the host wasn't providing the backups it...

Probably. I can't imagine him ever being OK with letting Jesus take credit for anything.

Wouldn't stop him from raging if he ever saw it. He has a tendency to assume everything he sees is real, even AI videos of him doing things he knows he didn't do. Or would know if he weren't all the way senile.

Just goes to show how long it's been since I've been inside a hospital; I didn't even know they were segregated in the first place. I figured the individual rooms were private enough for it to not matter.

New conspiracy theory: The story itself is a disinformation campaign orchestrated by Russia as a pretense to turn the American right against Ukraine. Elon may or may not have been in on it.

Bad crime novels, too, from what I hear.

If it's not bots, it implies that Russia employs a sizable army of professional trolls. How many would it take to account for 90% of all assholes on the entire internet? Probably like the whole country. Either way, between this and the fact that our part of the internet is all blocked there...

I wish that made all Trump supporters disappear.

I would also make it illegal for any site with a public URL to paywall anything. I'm sick of following a link and ending up on a site the person who linked to it just forgot they were having to pay for. Shunt that garbage off onto dedicated apps with no address bar.

Living the dream, those drone pilots.

"I settled 8 wars" first time I've heard any of those regions besides Israel were even at war at any point during Trump's presidency

Hey, if it's a civil war they want, I'll be happy to give it to 'em.

So their argument is that the state constitution bars an outsider from being governor, but says nothing about elections. In other words, the people need to sue again when he inevitably wins and see what their excuse is that time.

Reminds me of debt consolidation kinda. You have one entity demanding an obscene amount of money, you appeal to a middleman who pays considerably less on the grounds that "You're never going to see that much money from these poor-asses and you know it", still sticks you with a bill, and takes a cut.

In a country that once had Taft as President and in which one regularly encounters land-whales in motor scooters at the supermarket, I feel like calling Trump "corpulent, barely-ambulatory blob of goo" is overselling it a bit.
