  1. This must be a new meaning of the word "biased" - adj, giving a result I don't agree with.

    You read those citations and THAT'S your takeaway? I'm not sure I believe you're that stupid, but I guess I could be wrong.

    You DO realize that South America was a favored place for the Nazi's to flee after WW2 right?

    So, you're going to tell us that Rudolph Hess is operating out of Venezuela? You think there is a secret cabal of Nazis running Venezuela?

    I thought Trump was going to be getting us OUT of foreign entanglements. Remember "America First!"?

    That lasted only long enough until he needed to wag the dog.

    Maduro and his military are pretty close to a Nazi.

    Good try. Next, you'll us Venezuela is invading Poland.

    Without intervention, proxy wars and NATO the world would look a LOT different.

    Yeah, the Middle East might not be a wasteland, there wouldn't be refugees from Central America and North Korea might have electricity and enough food.

    You globalists are all the same. You never saw a foreign war you didn't like. Fuck off until you sign up to serve in some war zone.

    Weren't you recently going off on slashdot about how the US has a glorious past punching Nazis in WWII? I'm pretty sure all the Nazis attacked in WWII were on foreign soil.

    You will notice I specified "past 65 years". Plus, as you well know, Nazis are a special case. Whenever they appear, it is incumbent on all free peoples to come together to put them down.

    Last I heard, there were no goosestep-incarnated Nazis down in Venezuela.

    Why do you support intervention in foreign countries? How many times in the past 65 years has that actually helped?

    My favorite band on Spotify is Various Artists (or maybe it's The Various Artists). They rock. Versatile, too.

  10. In case you aren't familiar with it, here's the King Crimson song I'm talking about, from a brilliant live version they did.

    I have it playing in another tab right now and I'm about ready to turn off the lights and lie down on the floor.

  11. There was this one time, when I was an undergraduate in a college in a Northern latitude, when I was tripping balls on some blotter with some people in my dorm, and somebody came in and said "The lights are out!" and it meant that the Northern Lights were on display, so we climbed up to the roof of the dorm on a night that it was like 2 degrees Fahrenheit and I grew up in the city and had never seen them before and it was profound as fuck. A little while later, we decided to sled down a bluff on cafeteria trays and one of the guys broke his wrist and we had to take him to the hospital, all of us lit up like fucking Tron, with our eyes spinning around in our heads like pinwheels. We took turns trying to talk to the nurse to see if our friend was gonna live and we were getting paranoid and finally we just left him there and somehow drove back to the dorm on icy roads. I think I worked the steering wheel and someone else worked the pedals because I was definitely too fucked up to drive. We must have been making noise because the RA peeked out of her room and we tried to maintain so she couldn't tell how high we were and then we all piled into one room and lit candles and watched each others' faces melt. I'm pretty sure at some point somebody put the King Crimson album Starless and Bible Black on because whenever I hear the song Starless to this day I get flashbacks of Aurora Borealis.

  12. I did a lot of acid as a kid, and it didn't have any long term negative effects, despite what the voice that comes out of my bathroom sink says.

    All these countries phasing out coal, don't they realize that many Slashdot commenters say this cannot be done without reverting to a Stone Age lifestyle? What could they possibly be thinking?

  14. Machine learning doesn't work like that. You feed data into it and it works out the algorithms itself.

    Algorithms can most certainly exhibit bias.

    "Tolerant" West Coast Corporate Progressives sure do love fantasizing about vengeful anal rape.

    As the Kovington Katholic Kids in the MAGA hats chanted last week, "It's not rape if you enjoy it".

  16. If you want a "backup phone", your best bet is still a cheap burner you can buy at a gas station. The main benefit is that you can have the very satisfying experience of breaking it and then throwing it into a trash can or out the car window to throw the bad guys off your scent like they do on the TV. And you are very unlikely to get any robocalls on it.

    The last phone I'd ever use for a backup is an Apple phone. Also, how funny is it that the iPhone model that is being celebrated by nerds is the one that is least like their current flagship models?

    Does Amazon not understand how much people are going to fuck with these sidewalk robots? First, they'll be covered with gang graffiti in about five minutes, or festooned with sex toys. Local bands will cover them with stickers. Then, it will become a viral prank to kidnap these things with a panel van and steal their stuff and "customize" them. They will be hacked and used in public robot fights. Eventually, they'll be turned out and used for prostitution.

    The image you're invoking, of Trump being "pegged" by Pelosi, is intended to double-humiliate Trump, first by having him be "dominated" by a woman, and secondly by having it being done in a traditionally homosexual fashion.

    Again, pegging is not a "traditionally homosexual fashion". And there's no shame in enjoying being dominated sexually by a woman. You should try it sometime. Trump himself enjoyed being spanked with a rolled up magazine by Stormy Daniels.

    Pegging is not homosexual. It is a perfectly normal activity between a man and a woman. At least that's what my wife keeps telling me.
