@Based_Accelerationist - because I can see what's gonna happen to some extent (thanks to an interest in history, and because math is reliable), I've spent quite a bit of time at the range.
And I can say with confidence, that it's very easy to miss a shot. 💁🏻♂️ So that's what I think happened there. Don't go with the budget option for assassins.
Cheers, friend. 🫡🍻
@Based_Accelerationist - ➡️ But the cathedral is really not that bright, and I think you give them too much credit. Imagine a bunch of selfish, amoral retards who have been handed power.
The cathedral, for all their power and conspiracy, are a collection of individuals with their own individual interests. Maybe they're too retarded to see Trump's potential as an asset. Maybe there's dissention in their ranks.
But either way, someone decided to call a shot, and the shooter missed. It happens.
@Based_Accelerationist - It is indeed clown world. I'm not saying this to brag, but only because it seems relevant: I once had an in-depth IQ test done as a child, for a talented and gifted program. It came back at 147. My brain developed since then, and I've killed a few brain cells too 💊🥃, so give or take.
So why aren't I in charge? Because I choose not to lie, cheat, or steal. I have to live with myself, and I don't want to deal with a guilty conscience. ➡️
@Based_Accelerationist - Eh, I questioned it momentarily, and quickly concluded that Trump dodged a bullet. Sometimes shit happens. That's actually one of my life maxims:
•"shit happens."
•"whaddya gonna do?"
•"fuck it."
More than 90% of everything in life, is covered by one of them.
If I must be a joke... 🤔 Let me be a funny one. 🍻
@LysanderMooner @VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey - ➡️ "Well if *we* can't make them work, then of course those clowns in Russia couldn't make them work either". The general zeitgeist in defense blogs of the time, was that Russia was hollow - with some residual cold-war technical know-how, but no industrial capacity to field large numbers.
I wouldn't be surprised if the money for US hypersonics went to NGOs and welfare instead. The Muslims just showed up in Europe en masse around that time (2015).
2¢ 🫡🍻
@LysanderMooner @VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey - Last I heard (circa 2015 - around the time Obama publicly called Russia a "gas station with nukes"), US was working on hypersonics, they were the next big thing, but US had yet to have a successful test. It was something like 4 failed tests in a row, and then nothing was heard about US hypersonics again, until nowadays.
I'm inclined to think the cathedral decided they wouldn't need them, and their arrogance led them to believe something like ➡️
@Gonzo17 - Not that I worry about it either way, but funny thing about Indians is that some are pretty close to white. The "indo" part of Indo-European refers to India.
Basically, the Aryans conquered India in BC times. They became the brahmins, and the native Dravidians (darker skin, less "white" features) become the lower castes.
Anyway, white nationalism is kinda dumb. White culture is pretty cool (I like it). And Indians are not quite "all the same race". 🍻
@Stahesh - I mean, it's not something I would do... But I have no objections.
The reason I wouldn't, is because of the whole life in prison thing. And then there's the fact that any kid who goes out to meet an internet stranger is probably well on their way to that fate anyway.
@DoubleD - So I still follow Jesus's example in many ways - mostly in personal dealings with people I actually care about. But I'm no longer bound by any notion of equality in the eyes of of God, or any universal brotherhood of man.
Life is better. And if Jesus were real, I think he would want life to be better. 🍻
@DoubleD - I have an academic interest in the old pantheons.
But I only call myself a pagan, because that's what a Christian would call me. Same reason why I call myself a misogynist - though I don't actually hate women.
Jesus never made much sense to me, unless I denied human nature. And after dealing with one too many hypocrites who only sought to use Jesus as a means of control (i.e. telling me how to live), I decided to renounce my nominal faith.
@VooDooMedic - It's a lot like drug dealing (in the US, at least). Don't get too big, too fast. That's what went wrong with Nazi Germany. If they didn't invade Poland, they'd still be here.
And as a bonus, FDR probably wouldn't have gotten a third term.
@southpole21 - I think the guy might've just missed. He could be a low-rent contractor. He could be an Internet-groomed wannabe. A head is a small moving target. And he got pretty close. 🤔
@Based_Accelerationist @Tfmonkey - first thought: The CIA is too reliant on Internet-groomed unstable individuals. 🤔🤷🏻♂️
@RodrickSage - re: OP
I think Ghengis Khan was born poor. Maybe some kind of tribal nobility, but... we're talking tribal. 🤔💁🏻♂️
Who really knows how MRNA works? We're at a point in understanding biology, where we're like a kid who can take apart a radio... and can kinda see which part might do what, but we can't put it back together.
Anyway, I don't think we had the last of the sudden heart attack dance parties. 🤔

@dander @VooDooMedic - 🤔 Uh, that looks... 🤔 Uh.... 🤔
...viable. 😂🤣
@sardonicsmile - No, no... It was the juvenile bear that gave me cause for vicarious alarm. In my mind's eye, the word "DANGER" flashed obnoxiously enough to give an epileptic a seizure. 😂
@sardonicsmile - I wasn't concerned until I saw the juvenile.
Bad juju. 😨😂
@Pain66 - Aw, nice! 😁🍻
@sardonicsmile - men who go their own way aren't concerned with whether or not women are affected, or whether or not women care that they've gone their own way. 🤔💁🏻♂️
I mean, it's good for a laugh when there's some indication of women suffering for their poor choices. But I don't go my own way for the purpose of punishing anyone. I go my own way for the purpose of avoiding punishing myself. 😉🥃
