Gentle reminder that these book deals are basically money laundering operations for bribes You couldn't find 1000 people in the US who want to read this

@Steve_Sailer Is that how airplanes mate?

This is for real:

@BWLH_ I had no idea the Ottoman Turks ever occupied Slovakia or parts of it, but it's true.

One of the coolest people I’ve ever met is a Slovakian yoga instructor. She goes, “You Americans are such wimps. Blacks are terrible and they blame you for their terrible actions. And Mooslims? Don’t you know our history with them.”

@BWLH_ There's probably a movie called "Glory Hole" more worth watching.

They lose. Always makes me smile.

@FinancialPhys Mad Max movies will come to life as people create Frankenstein cars from old salvage.

It’s a legitimate up and coming business model machining parts —IN THE US— for cars and trucks that have been discontinued Additionally, removing all emissions and tech from 2020+ garbage cars Also, adding smoke screens, oil slicks, and caltrop dispensers to destroy pig cars

@FinancialPhys The timestamp is "4 10 90". All these kids were probably born in the 1980s.

Accurate

@AuronMacintyre When a single representative in Congress represents 1 million people, that's hardly representation. The size of Congress needs to scale with the population. Districts should be small enough that anyone, rich or poor, can run for office and win. I'd say max 10,000 people/district.

America is not a republic, it hasn’t been for a long time Very few, if any, republicans are willing to do what it takes to fix that

@DissidentRight "I'm Straight" by the Modern Lovers (1973). It's a phone call about Hippie Johnnie. Keyboards sound similar to the Talking Heads because it's the same guy, Jerry Harrison. youtu.be/B_exvKnrK6g

Jim Croce's "Operator" tinyurl.com/mf29sjxu is a pop classic, and justly so. Have there been any pop songs since 1972 framed as a phone call? Among my many, many distinctions I may be the last person on earth who can sing what may be the very first such song, popular back when the telephone was new. My maternal grandpa (1873-1961) and a frequenter of late 19th-century English music-halls (=vaudeville), used to sing it to us when I was a child. Lyrics: I want to telephone to mother dear. She's somewhere in the sky so high. She's been gone such a long, long while, You don't know how I miss her loving smile. I can't tell you what her number is, But it's somewhere in the sky. I want to hear Her voice so dear, As I used to in the days gone by. I can find no trace of this song on YouTube, nor anywhere else on the internet.

@DissidentRight I canceled the SFE contract before their deadline, but I still had to pay $64 extra on a gas bill. I learned my lesson: Ignore all door-to-door solicitors, and investigate before signing any contract. It's sad that the US has sunk into a low-trust country.

@DissidentRight I fell for "SFE Energy" in 2023. Based in Buffalo NY, they knock on doors, looking professional, persuading you that SFE will lower your natural gas bill. The bill actually triples. A 1 minute web search shows SFE is a scam, but I was too "high trust" to look before signing.

It's a scammers world, we just live in it. Don't drop your guard! I did just recently and paid the price -- $187.71. Here's the tale. In violation of the 10th Commandment. I have coveted my neighbor's power-washer. We are pals and he'll lend it to me any time, but I hate to keep asking. Browsing the internet, an ad caught my eye. Posted by an outfit named Jetterix jetterix-pressurewasher.com/en/ it advertised what they claimed was a power-washer attachment for ordinary garden hoses. Just the thing! I ordered one online, order placed April 27th. A week later I got an email saying my order had shipped. A week after THAT, the package arrived. Instead of one of the durn things, it contained THREE. I could swear I only ordered one. Why would anybody want three? I'm a suburban homeowner with house & gardens all on one-sixth of an acre. The delivery didn't contain anything else. No assembly & use instructions, no packing slip for return & refund. Each unit has two parts: a hand grip with trigger that you attach to your hose, and a long barrel that screws on to the hand grip and squirts out the power jet. I assembled one unit and tried to fit it to my hose. No way it would fit. I tried another hose my wife had: no fit. We dug out an old hose from back of the garage: nope. Disassembling the unit and putting aside the hand grip, I found I COULD attach the barrel part to my hose. When I then turned on the water, sure enough a jet came out, but ... power wash? No way. With water to the hose full on, the jet out of the barrel was no more powerful than our basic garden-hose attachment at its "jet" setting. Annoyed, I checked with PayPal to see if my payment had gone through. It had: $187.71. Say WHAT? OK, my bad. I hadn't been practicing due diligence. Now coming up to my second childhood, I guess I had thoughtlessly lapsed back to assumptions from the high-trust society I inhabited in my first childhood, back in 1950s England. I should have checked references. Here's a key one: malwaretips.com/blogs/jetterix… They don't openly declare Jetterix a scam, but they do say it's "closer to a scam than a legitimate cleaning tool." I emailed Jetterix on Wednesday, got a bland and unhelpful acknowledgement in return, but so far -- today is Friday -- nothing more. I very much doubt I'll get any kind of refund, but it's my fault for being so careless. We have to pay for our blunders. I'll take what satisfaction I can from the hope that by publicizing the tale on social media I may cost Jetterix some sales -- with luck, maybe more than $187.71 worth.

@DissidentRight If you get your $187 back, you can buy a real power washer at Harbor Freight for $200. They probably have a store somewhere near you. harborfreight.com/2300-PSI-12-GP…

@RealJarTaylor White Guilt about the Indians really took off around 1969-1974, judging from movies and TV of that time.

Oscar-winning singer Buffy Sainte-Marie, now 85, always pretended to be a Mi'kmaq Indian. In 2019, Univerity of Toronto gave her a PhD for promoting "rights and dignity of all." Uny now rovokes PhD because she was a fake Indian. "Rights of all?" Ha ha. Only Indians count.

@jlippincott Yet creating an alternative stable currency is considered counterfeiting when a private individual does it (Bernard von NotHaus and the Liberty Dollar, 1998–2009). Counterfeiting is evil, but if you do something about it, the government thinks you're evil too.

"Monetary expansion" and "quantitative easing" are just euphemisms for counterfeiting. Counterfeiting is evil.

These two giant turtles have been fighting each other for more than 120 years. According to the zoo, one turtle stole the other’s food 120 years ago, and since that day they became enemies. There hasn’t been a single day where they don’t fight for 2–3 minutes😂
