I think we will actually reach a point where most sexual encounters will be via virtual reality. You taylor the interaction just as you want it and get the same physical reaction as if it was real.

At the time that these were in use if you described technology of today they would have considered it science fiction. In the near future I expect all live voice communications or voice messages to be via projected holograms.

Decades ago I saw the Rolling Stones. It was held in an arena. I was fortunate enough to sit in one of those skyboxes. Because of its location to the stage, from a corner of the skybox you could actually see behind the stage. This area was just a huge curtain as all seating behind the curtain was closed. During certain songs some band members would go behind the curtain. And it was a blast to see some of them jugging down vodka which was clearly visible from my vantage point. And the show was great.

OP's cat actually looks like a Pug in that side view

I never understood why there wasn't a federal web site where you input your gross based on W2. Then check off boxes for special deductions like kids. And wamo here's what you owe. But if our tax system was simple and stupid than thousands of people at IRS wouldn't have jobs. Too bad. Let them find other jobs.

I treated like a stronger than usual strain of the flu. I was and am healthy. I had no comorbidities. I knew that if I was infected it wouldn't kill me. And I'm sure that at several times if tested I would have come up positive but I never had any significant symptoms. I live in a state that was one of the first to end all restrictions and simply lived life normally. I did get the vax before it was know that it actually didn't prevent you from getting covid and it did not prevent you from spreading it if you were positive.

When hitler killed himself in the bunker. I would have been fascinated to witness how a guy responsible for millions of deaths somehow considered himself the victim and was forced to commit suicide. He was an evil bastard and a coward unwilling to face the consequences of his actions.

While I totally agree that the rich (regardless of color) are not treated the same by our system of justice, he was so beyond all doubt guilty that it actually hurt the Black community. Whites and other peoples of color were disappointed that any person regardless of the tint of their skin was not held accountable for the obvious brutal murder of 2 people. And how sad that at this point we still make judgements based on how light or how dark a person's skin is.

I wonder where they are getting the money for weapons. I thought there were economic sanctions imposed on them. Or did I miss something and were they lifted?

LOL. Just the other day I was searching for info on scrotums and older men

theme from the movie Gladiator

I don't think it is.

I don't know what you are talking about. I have stated that I am still banned at reddit. No one let me back and I believe that their appeal process is now automated. So in effect you can never actually make a case as to why you should be reinstated.

Weren’t you banned from Lemm.ee for posting scat porn in a tech community and dumping a bunch of comments in an Autism community calling them the R word? You ran the conservativememes2 community too.

I did NONE of those things. I have never posted any kind of porn anywhere and never would.

I have a nephew who is autistic and will scream out at anyone who refers to those afflicted with that condition as removed.

When I moderated groups at reddit I would ban those who wished me dead or called for violence against me. Do you think that was OK?

Good answer. For me I try to do stuff around the house and I usually make it worse costing me more money in the end when a professional comes to fix it.

Yeah I have live YouTube TV and they no longer offer the MLB channel. I had got comfortable with You Tube in general because for years I have been watching the regular YouTube and I am paying for Premium, so there are no commercials. The only ads that you have to fast forward through are the ones embedded in the videos by the creators. The billing for both regular YouTube Premium and their TV product is smooth and hassle free. I have never sampled Plex or Hulu and just was wondering how they compare with the YouTube TV product. Regular Youtube has an MLB channel that I am subscribed to. They have game highlights.

LOL. I never once called for violence. I am not white and not a racist. And I never even called another poster an asshole. My thing was always lets have a civil discussion. And I guess my point is that all the things that we both would agree on that should cause a ban did not apply to me.

I'm coming from Comcast cable. I choose YouTube TV and miss the MLB channel. Not the full slate of games. Just the MLB channel. Does Hulu have it?

It's been a year since this happened. I honestly don't remember, but I think it was a comment. A comment where I was paraphrasing a point made in a published news article. Apparently just mentioning something that others didn't "like" was enough to piss people off.

good point that I didn't consider. why go through the hassle if based on prior experience it would probably happen again.

We will always be a "one party" country ... meaning rich guys or candidates bankrolled by rich guys.....until we have term limits. And a way to regulate campaigns. Just imagine an average Joe candidate actually getting equal time running against a millionaire across all media. Of course this will never happen but it would be nice if it did

To take breaks from work stuff I come over just to see what's going on.

Like anything else that humans don't understand now or didn't understand then..... We create a mythology to explain it.

that you are making a big mistake to view the present or past events only from your current perspective.

I still remember that the convertible top actually had a glass back window instead of the usual plastic window that most rag tops had. And the clutch.....it was so heavy compared to any stick I have driven since then.

Just think of how many would not have died if they had accepted him into art school

I still think he will get injured as usual and will be cut before the end of the year

That's an excellent point. Not technology, but people ask me for tips on playing golf. I tell them what I think they need to correct and how to do it. And they start arguing with me. And I'm like I don't care if you play like shit, you ASKED ME for help.

**The concept of resurrection wasn’t even new when Christianity started **

You point was clearly made by the Bill Maher movie "Religulous"

It's the same "story" recycled over and over with a bit of a different touch based on the culture

But there is a big difference between a human spreading a message of hope and kindness and a divine presence.

Because it's an interesting theory. And if it's true it certainly doesn't make you a believer

I find it fascinating that many of the true believers actually believe he was born on December 25th. They have no awareness of how this date was conjured up to compete with other existing non religious celebrations.

Sorry I couldn't find a store currently selling them

Gold. Just like it always had been. Then you would finally have balanced budgets

you really have to keep in mind how much the world has changed since they got here

We all tend to think that the existing technology when we grew up was the benchmark and always existed. Many people are alive today that went to college before computers even existed. Back then the closest thing to a computer filled a room and worked with punch cards. On the smartphone side, how many even remember those pink pads that were used to write down phone messages. Or dial up internet over a phone line with those strange noises as the connection was made.

That's a great story

I can understand that you might not approve of the lifestyle, as some kind of religious person, but why do they have to persecute others.

kinda miss the snow but also remember how quickly its charm wears off.

Yep. Peaceful and relaxing when it first comes down. Then quickly turns to dirty slush
