Elon Musk is the joke. It’s just not funny.

An actual, real, self-confessed, Hitler-loving Nazi? Yes. I’d punch them until my arm fell off and then I’d borrow my friend’s arm to punch them some more…

Couple of teeth, bit of an ear, part of a finger plus a couple of dents on my flesh. Something very big went “boom” near me. I’m also a bit deaf in one ear. I am incredibly lucky to have survived, let alone walk out. All of it will be patched up apart from the finger - even my hearing might come back. You might not notice if you pass me on the street but if you sat opposite me you probably would. It’s no big thing.

It’s easier for most people to believe that different coloured or dressed folk, or those that look the same but speak differently, are the reason your life is difficult. It couldn’t possibly be the people that look and sound like you that are your problem. In the UK it’s been said before that a white British guy in a factory job has more in common with a Jamaican bricklayer or a Polish chamber maid than they do with Boris Johnson. I believe that position.

The idea of any mainstream US politician being left wing is hilarious to people that understand politics. The Democrats are less to the right than the Republicans. They are not even a centrist party.

That I’m missing a couple of body parts… nothing that big, major or important though so it doesn’t really hinder me.

There’s a world of difference between an annoying vegan and veganism being annoying.

That’s the most pointless piece of data I’ve ever read - why would you include it? I now have problems accepting the veracity of the others; and possibly the mindset of the compiler.

I think the original book title is: Rita Hayworth And Shawshank Redemption. So not as crazy as it seems.

I know a guy called Bob who bought a monkey, from the FreeAds, back in the early eighties…

I’ve told you countless trillions of times to stop exaggerating.

“… he needs to get his teeth kicked in. I’m not advocating violence, …”

You are advocating the need for violence rather than advocating violence itself. That is a clever argument.

I remember. What an absolute culinary hero that dude was.

I’ve never heard of that bracelet (surprise surprise) - talk about a pipe dream. I just want to be able to view diagrams and plans on something bigger than a phone. Whilst on site and off grid. And yes, I know they’re available on paper but… reasons. We use tough-tablets sometimes but their pretty cumbersome when not in use.

More screen space in a smaller portable form is of tremendous use to some people - until projectors come of age at least.

This is impossible to answer. In one small city (pop c. quarter million) accommodation ranges from about 65k to a couple of million. Ostentatious opulence walks past homeless beggars. Some places have a choice of fibre optic networks whilst others are still using copper wire. (I pay approximately $13 a month for 100gb untethered 5g access, reasonably unlimited fixed access is probably c.$40 p.m.) There’s a choice of food at all qualities and prices. A choice of free public hospitals as well as a private fee-paying one too. There are areas where you can leave your bag on the table as you go to the bar and there are places that not even locals willingly choose to go. A massively mixed bag. The only major difference between Europe and the US (in cities) is that we can walk across ours, in any direction, crossing roads wherever and whenever we want to.

He’s his mommy’s special little prince:

And then some… it put me in the mood to revisit this past classic:

Damn. I’ve never been so hyped for the coming apocalypse. Let’s go.

Honestly, where I operate, almost nobody uses (outgoing) sms/mms - unless their phone has actual physical buttons on it. It’s all iMessage for those who can or something like Viber for those who can’t. I can’t see why anybody would take a step backwards to RCS when it offered nothing that we haven’t already been doing for years - and it’s apparently network dependant.
