    The very existence of the Pumpkinhead Redeemer, let alone the fact that a significant number believe in him, is solid evidence this is some sort of controlled simulation

  2. Insanely stupid indeed. How do you prove you're not programmed to "think" you've broken out? For that matter, how do you prove which is reality and which is simulated? We can't even establish whether taking acid or other means of altering consciousness, getting visions, etc attain reality and pierce the veil of illusion or the other way around.
    How many movies have somebody awaken, then surprise surprise it turns out they're still dreaming?
    What makes them think the human consciousness can understand or even recognise reality? What makes them think there exists a single thing which can be defined as reality? Never mind reality, how do we differentiate existence from nonexistence? If there are an infinite number of possible worlds, what differentiates the one which "exists" from the rest?
    All way too meta.

    The FCC, should it take notice, will put a stop to an unlicensed operator. However, if you don't tick off the local hams, the chances of getting the notice of the FCC is slim.. Well, it was UNTIL you posted here. Radio pirates are generally not well received by the FCC.....

    Let me warn you, when the FCC comes calling, they can fine you upwards to $5,000 per instance per day of illegal operation. This can really add up. So if this little story is really true, don't mistake the lack of action thus far with the idea the FCC doesn't care. The enforcement branch is a bit undermanned these days, but they still exist and are active.

    i still have the license we were originally required to have, to operate a CB radio in a vehicle.....

    That amazes me. Why do you still suffer that? I haven't had a land-line in almost a decade, and I can't fathom ever having one again.

    Ha! your kidding right. Al Gore is a politician that jumped on a bandwagon like politicians do and tried to claim a role in something he had nothing to do with.

    What is far more fascinating about Al Gore is his father Al Gore Sr. who was a well known member of the KKK down here. His son was raised around some of the most violent racists this country has ever known.

    Its also just one example of the fake "southern strategy" the democrats concocted to make people think the KKK left the Democratic Party. They all remained Democrats and most of the KKK offspring still are today.

    sure, that's why david duke is such a trump supporter.

    A very trumping argument. Trump should win ,because he will win,because he's a winner.

  16. "Clinton screwed up on email and arguably Benghazi"

    I'm sorry -- but there is a very long history of her "screw ups and lies". Whitewater ring a bell? I don't want to list them all out as I dont want to type a "mile long" worth of dirt.

    God damn it man! The FIRST inclination when she faints was to LIE about it until a video pops up showing her collapsing! There is ZERO trust in anything she does or says.

    That said, the Democrats nominated someone who would lose to a rabid coyote. Not to be out done, The Republicans nominated someone who could lose to the Democrat's choice!. Literally ANYONE who can fog a mirror could beat the other.

    Is it really a GOOD thing when the HONEST campaign pin on BOTH sides says "Vote for me! I'm not the other guy/gal!"

    whitewater? yeah, she was found guilty of her husband being noncooperative in his testimony over a blow job, said testimony having happened during the investigation which came up with nothing else. omigod, the republic is doomed! man, if you're pulling up whitewater in 2016 as proof of hillary's criminality, you are really coming up dry.

  17. That is a true statement, but what sets Clinton apart is that her actions had a *direct* impact on national security. She doesn't get the choice of shadow IT. End. Of. Story. -nb

    the direct impact being that, when the official state department server was hacked, her server wasn't. omigod the republic is doomed.

  18. Yeah. You've got no idea what you're talking about, what Clinton did was nothing short of criminal. What the people around here did, was nothing short of criminal. Going as far as pleading the 5th. What Trump has done is by far be a businessman and run with his mouth and actually listen to voters. Something that some politicians in the UK have done(which is why the brexit succeeded despite the politicians, the media, the political elite all saying "it's in the bag for us." In other cases, they decided to trot out the police and engage in police-state like activities like "paying visits" to people who post wrong think, and threatening them with hate speech if the police don't like what they're posting.

    yeah, and the fbi have no idea what they're talking about either. meanwhile, your concept of "businessman" seems to include "crook", which is, I suppose, a variety of businessman.

  19. Between the two, I'm personally enjoying the absolute and complete clusterfuck known as the Clinton campaign. If they're not trying to declare a war on memes, they have incompetent IT people who are trying to break the law or actually breaking the law.

    It's against the law to delete my old emails off the server? Uh oh

    House centipedes. The grey-brown kind with lots of long thin legs.

    They're completely harmless to humans, even kinda cute for a bug, and are voracious predators against virtually all the home-infesting insects that we dislike, including termites, cockroaches and nigh-indestructible bedbugs. They can even become kind of friendly as they mature through their seven-year lifespan, if you're into befriending your "guard dogs".

    I'm not above squishing particularly annoying bugs, but fostering a population of human-benign predators is far more effective, and controls potential infestations long before you even notice you've been invaded.

    spiders too. i don't know why they and snakes get such bad press. i do take care to avoid the poisonous ones, though.
