Comment And some people like... (Score 1, Informative) 84

getting hit in the nuts, for fun. No mater how painful something is there is always some weird a-hole get's off on the pain. Hell, I even had the original Zune... that thing really was a complete pain to use. M$ spent more time making sure you couldn't get music off of your devices than getting the damn thing to work right to begin with.

Comment Re:Supreme Court (Score -1, Flamebait) 401

Given then time. There's a lot of partisans demoRATS that are opening talking about to expand SCOTUS so they can pack it with as many far left judges they can. If the DNC does that then they'll deserve everything they will get when the balance of power swings back to the GOP and they do it right back.

Comment Re:Air Force already had "Space Command" (Score 4, Informative) 330

The US Air Force started out as a the Army Air corp. It was spun off into it's own branch of the military when it became obvious that the army wasn't equipped to handle operations in both land and air actions affectingly. Perhaps it was too early to found a whole new branch of the US Armed Forces, but it is going to happen soon or later. It is true that a lot of astronauts start out as air force pilots. But ultimately there is still a huge difference between operaeting in space and operating just in atmosphere here.

Comment So... Paler has a TOS... just like ever other site (Score 2) 187

This entire article reads like a pretty obvious hit-piece and I can't see why anyone even fall of it at this point. One of the big arguments for mass de-platforming of controversial or just conservative personalities on social media is the argument that 'they're a private company' and thus can have whatever TOS they want. From day one Parler said they wanted to be for free speech but they never said that there were no rules at all on the site.

This article reads like someone that took their ideal of journalism from their reading of Saul Alinsky 'Rules for Radicals'. Try to hold your enemies to their own standers while ridiculing them about it.

Comment Re:No Obama deepfakes? (Score 1) 89

Well there was that rodeo clown that got a life time ban from his... 'sport' for wearing an Obama mask. He had done it for every other president when they were in office. But he did it with Obama and he had to go. And there is also those sociopaths that think you're wearing 'digital black face' if you use a black person in a meme without being black yourself. Although in the later case the makers of South Park might get by with that if they use a black member of staff to work on it.

The point is that you'll always find some wing-nut that'll call you racist no mater what you say or even your intent.

Comment Re:Trump is already encouraging it (Score 0, Troll) 314

Yeah, but unlike the BLM 'protests' no one was harmed when the Biden staffers tried to use their van to run the Trump supporter off the road. Someone got some footage from one of the vehicles closer to the back of the Malarkey Mobile and it clearly shows the white van with in the blue truck's lane and trying to push the pickup truck off the road. Of course that person in the van is obviously a moron and doesn't understand the physics of involved with doing that.

Comment Here's a hot-take... (Score 3, Insightful) 104

How about we let the entire Hollywood infrastructure fucking burn? The entire industry is like a giant rotting fish that washed up on the shores of Malibu. It's rotten from the head down. A solid 90% of everything coming out of tensile town is either socio-political motivation art-house tat or just another rehashing of a classic IP, but this time made by people with double the budget but half the talent.

So let me try and get this right here. Hydroxychloroquine was suggest as a treatment for the WuHan flu, but it dodn't work out. The President eventually caught the disease and the medical experts treating the POTUS chose to use a different drug to try and treat him. But some random that still thinks Hydroxychloroquine is the better option and they're all ass-mad now that Trump didn't take it? And this is news?

Comment Re:Star trek (Score 1) 54

I watched both season one and two of Discovery.... man... it really is just... just awful. Season one was just a cinematic abortion. Michael Burnham really just is a bad Mary Sue, so much so that even the universe itself seem to bend itself to make sure she survives. That became obvious in the first episode when the entire deck of the ship she's on gets blasted out of existence save for a tiny little perfect square of deck-plate for her to sit on.

Comment 'Discussing the series' emphasis on diversity' (Score 2) 54

For over 50 years we've enjoyed a multi-media franchise that celebrated the idea of humanity stepping past our superficial and ultimately petty differences as we travel into the future to explore space together. But this year... we get to celebrate and discus superficial physically and sexual abnormalities of two of the actors that are going to appear in the next season of Discovery. A show which itself is the most divisive version of Star Trek we've yet seen.
