Turns out, facts are, Trump had nothing to do with the "Pope" picture. He did say he thought it was funny, though.

No, needed to SELECTIVELY apply some blackface.
Then he could have been a Zabrak.
Still the question of the lightsabre, of course.

Down-modded because someone didn't like the totally factual point that Trump (out of ignorance) decided to dress as a Sith Lord.

And then I guess the butt-hurt was maximized by my joke.
Except they maybe didn't think it was funny.
Too close to the truth?

By the way, I voted for him.

Donald Trump had the White House post a picture of him dressed up (presumably by an AI) as a Sith Lord, ridiculously muscle-bound, wielding a red-bladed lightsabre.

Because either/and his staff are idiots and don't know Star Wars, and a blue lightsabre would be bad. Red is the color of the Republicans and blue is for Democrats. And they didn't know enough to pick green.

Trump did make a statement with the photo.
It went something like, "And I'm doing it for you, to protect you. Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the country. I am more powerful than the Congress. I can rule the planet. Make things the way we want them to be."

Found the satellite denier!

(Even "did his own research" and cited some crackpot conspiracy"-Gate" source...What's next, "Comet Ping Pong Pizza"?)

As long as they don't screw it up by trying to
install a seat in the middle, it should provide
a trip to the Hitler-watching aliens.
Either that, or give Jodie Foster cancer.

THAT MANY modules?
Indeed, that robot is driven.

Don't try to act all innocent.
Everybody knows what goes on in those
Minecraft "bunk beds".

You cyber-perv.

They use those prints for two purposes.
First, to see if you are already in the databases
(for example, are you using an alias?).
Second, they keep them on file so that when
something bad happens in proximity to what
you are being cleared for, they can see if
your fingerprints are all over it.

The actual background check is only the smallest
and beginning of the many things you are consenting to
when you apply for a clearance.

I (and my fingerprints) are in so many federal
and state databases that I could never disappear.
(Well, unless I had all my fingers mutilated in a
very special way.) Security clearances, concealed
weapons permits, teaching (ie. children), etc.etc.
Many times and varieties over more than 60 years.

I don't worry about it at all.
But then, someone concerned about that sort of
thing would never do all the many things I've done.

Apparently the spell checker is from NJ ?!?

I've been in the MITR and don't see why
it is being mentioned here. It's traditional
uranium, not thorium. And it's purpose is to be
a neutron source for things like developing medical
treatments and testing and transforming materials
for things like superconductivity research.
The reactor has no turbines or anything,
and doesn't make any electricity.

Not to be confused with the tamarack down
the street at the MIT Plasma Fusion Center.
Sadly, that one does not make any electricity either.
But I'm sure it will, within 10-20 years.
Like they said in 1976.
I'm not being Bitter.
Just trying to confine and control my humor.

Something you know
Something you have
Something that can be popped out of your skull
If needed for something that matters

I know this sounds trite
But I have
A bad feeling about this

You should get a job as an LLM.
On the Internet, nobody knows you're a human!

This man is 100% correct and true.

I spent decades doing research at MIT (DARPA funded) and Harvard Medical School (NIH funded). I had access to any journal I desired. Everybody I know hates/ed journal paywalls, even if it didn't affect us personally.
