Maybe they'll find life on Mars and the Lochness Monster while there.

Addendum: it will play and send back recorded radio waves to Earth when on the near side of the moon, so it's a cycle of scoop-n-spew.

It will probably only listen when on the far side and wait out the rest.

Aliens should play some Pink Floyd to mess with us.

Human behavior is unpredictable under such circumstances. The instinct may be to cover it up.

there is a mechanical block requiring you to lift the switches before operating them.

I thought some believe the lift-lock was missing on some planes due to a factory snafu or something. Boeing sent a bulletin out about it, but it was perhaps ignored.

Illegals are the New Jews for bigots like you

Nevertheless, here sits drinkypootin pretending that I have anything to do with Trump when for decades I've been advocating against exactly what Trump is doing. Meanwhile, if this were Bernie in office doing the exact same shit, drinkypootin would be offering to suck his dick. This is exactly the kind of contrarian conspiracy theorist fascist asshole that he is.

You know what's crazy about all of that? I've consistently maintained the position that tariffs are a terrible idea, meanwhile people sitting in the same camp as that moron you're replying to, especially Bernie Sanders, have been demanding tariffs that entire time. I kept saying, for years, that putting up tariffs in the US wouldn't do anything to stop Australia from buying cheaper cars from China. And whatdya know? That's exactly what's happening right now.

What's even crazier about all of this is Bernie Sanders and drinkypoo go around calling other people fascist, yet look where their ideology comes from:

Unlike you, I don't deal in conspiracy theories or crack heroine. I only deal in what is observable and measurable. Hard data wins every single time.

Videos like that piss you off because you've got a narrative to sell, and the last thing a flimflammer like you needs is somebody going around proving that your product is nothing more than snake oil. You're not happy until you've convinced at least one other person that we're living in the worst period in all history. And then you want to prove that you're a rebel by pissing into the wind.

People like Trump don't get into power by telling you that everything is ok. He's nothing more than a typical crisis politician. The only difference between you and him is which crisis you're trying to sell, and how successful he has been at it. Other than that, you are identical to him. You both severely overestimate your own ability, both of you are dumber than a rock. But he's in the Whitehouse, and you're spending your entire life underemployed.

Which "lot" would that be?

Locusts, Plague, Orange-Anti-Christ

Fortunately he only wants to.

You and Donald, always stuck on campaign mode, and always stuck on stupid.

Yip, most the "winning" in the USA trickles up, while N. Europe has better safety nets & health, better college funding, and more vacation.

Both Denmark and France are socialist-leaning countries. I didn't think the gov't would get away with increasing the retirement age.

Right-wing parties have been winning in EU of late, often fueled by anti-Muslim boogymanning, perhaps borrowing rhetoric from our Tinted One by exaggerating and highlighting crime or terrorist events*. I wonder when the anti-Muslim fervor eventually dies down if the leftist parties will adjust the retirement age back down.

* EU desperately need immigrants to keep their population from declining too quickly. They should help Muslims assimilate instead of demonizing them by cherry-picking events.
