One of the chief architects of woke says maybe don't be so woke anymore.

Even if his underlying motive is getting his fellow leftoids to find a new way to spread their mindvirus now that HRspeak is a meme, the fact that he's saying this out loud on camera is whitepilling. Maybe I'm just an easily manipulated stooge.
 
Any name could be added for any reason whatsoever, and no one bothers to do any research regarding this, because people are too fucking stupid to realize a lot of it is bullshit.
I think it was discussed earlier ITT how there are names in the Epstein files of people who very likely had no idea he was a sex pest and visited him for ordinary and innocent reasons. Too many people think anyone mentioned in the docs for any reason are heinous sex pests just like Epstein when there's a good chance that's not true at all. I blame it on an extreme combination of guilt by association mentality and cancel culture.

I think Trump picked Vance because he is a bit of a blank slate. He is young and articulate which is a good contrast to his old and bombastic nature
Vance is definitely articulate and the level head to balance Trump's bombast. As a business person, Trump tried to surround himself with level headed people whose judgement and feedback he could trust; the same seems true with his having Vance as his Veep.

NYC alone probably makes up a good quarter of the file, so many healthcare scammers here
The sad part of this is how easy it would be to easily detect potential troublesome trends or corruption using this type of data. Based on past health care experience, it seems trivial to look at diagnosis and procedure codes to see which ones are being used in disproportionate ratios at the provider or geographic level. Unfortunately, there is no true incentive to cut wasteful government spending or be too aggressive on fraud when millions to billions are budgeted annually with the mindset that nobody will care too much if a certain amount of that money is misspent or gets sent to the undeserving.
 
Sop you're telling me this worthless graph created by who exactly is your source? So all the revisions done for 2025 apply to the entire job market...except for your pretty little graph. OK...I got some land to sell you in Florida.
This graph is quite obviously from the St Louis Federal Reserve, which collates economic data for the general public and provides a convenient interface to make charts of just about anything you could reasonably expect. If you were a person who argued in good faith, you would immediately recognize it, because if you have even marginal curiosity about US econometric statistics, the top Google hits on most things you could look for will be the StL Fed.

But, of course, you don't argue in good faith. You don't actually care what normal mining employment cycles look like. You have no interest in what the numbers reveals as you look deeper. You just want to get a few snarky gotcha jabs in. Nothing really matters. You have no real opinions and don't actually know anything, you just live from quip to quip.
 
No, those aliens are fairies. Faries like the old Celtic Faries, not ones like Gary the dairy fairy or Disney fairies. Alien abductions stories line up to 1 with fairy abduction stories.
The earliest documented crop circles were in the late 1600's and attributed to a "mowing devil". Though there are earlier reports from a witch trial a century earlier.

And there were even early stories of these strange men in black robes that would show up harassing people, and were believed to be evil entities posing as people.
 
Aliens are not real because we would have cloned one already that died. Think of it, we can clone anything, but we don’t clone aliens? Absurd.

I would clone that little grey nigga and teach him cool shit, like how to drink cough syrup and use the discombobulater gun on Reddit faggots.
 
Nah, that's too complicated. I think it makes more sense that no one really knows what these UFOs are, which is why we haven't seen any world-shattering leaks about extraterrestrial diplomacy.
Nail on the head. Imagine you went back in time to ancient Rome and gave them a broken smartphone. They'd have no chance of figuring out what it is or how it works no matter how much time they spend studying it. It'd require materials and production chains that simply didn't exist in the ancient Mediterranean, just like how what might be in there requires shit that doesn't naturally occur on Earth.

Also, IIRC, the US government's official position on Area 51 is very legalistic, in such a way that they could legally say they've previously disclosed them owning alien tech, under the legal label of "we don't know what the fuck we found". It's technically true, and legally airtight. For all they know, it could be alien tech, multidimensional stuff, freak naturally occurring formations, time travel junk, etc.
 
I’m not sure what that means, but I love it when their bmi starts with a 2
It refers to women wearing revealing dresses or dresses that accentuate their assets, who then try to pass it as "doing it for themselves" instead of the obvious implication that they like the attention (male=bad, woman=I'm better than you)
 
So im reading about the aircraft carriers being deployed over to Iran and at first I thought there could be a chance its just a show of force but I was just thinking about the sheer cost to do that and had AI cook me up some rough numbers
View attachment 8562137
just ONE ship for ONE month is 55 million, thats not counting all the support ships and the fact there is actually 2 or maybe 3 aircraft carriers in the area we arent even sure and ALL thats without even caluclating how much the muntions might cost

so thinking about it like that I feel like this is far to much equipment and to much expense to just be a show off force but im curious for yalls thoughts
Now look up how much it takes to send an infantry brigade to NTC. (It's about 40 million) Don't even look up tankers or anything more equipment heavy.

$55 million when talking about something like an aircraft carrier is fucking nothing.

What NTC, WINTEX, REFORGER burns would make you melt down.

REFORGER 88 for example cost over $2 billion in 1988 dollars for a 60 fun time. (Of course, it was fucking REFORGER)

Seen 2nd Armor hoover up money like nobody's business just going to NTC, not to mention what it cost to field a tanker unit from 1st Armor to Iraq for a year. $30 million for an NTC rotation and $1.1 billion for 6 months in Iraq.

So $55 million is nothing.
