someone recently asked me what my views were on porn & i said i dunno, like a couple of million? i’ve been watching for a long time.

Had to make that into a meme:

I'm actually studying Spanish intensely for a few weeks, because I'm going to go check out Mexico City with the wife.

We just went there last summer. Don't miss Teotihuacan or the Anthropology museum.

The subways are safe, at least during normal hours on the tourist lines. Food is delicious. Even the locals strictly drink bottled water. Don't even brush your teeth with the tap water.

I can order food in Spanish but that's about it. My fluent wife was a big help but there are many People that are happy to practice their English to help you with directions.

Have fun, we did.

Thanks @Onvacation

I'll make a new thread out of your comment because others probably also have some good advice:

Well, you know the old joke on why they wandered for 40 years - somebody dropped a quarter.

Israel has oil - now that they have seized control of the Golan Heights:

Did you think the US went to war against Syria over a civil war, that the US has been funding? When the US goes to war in the Middle East, it's to steal energy resources and to advantage Israel. Here's who is on the strategic advisory board of Genie Energy:

https://governamerica.com/documents/genie-energy/

Genie Energy is an "American" (really Israeli) company that is mining the oil resources of the Golan Heights, the Syrian property that Israel is illegally occupying.

See any evil Neocon scum in that list that lied us into the war into Iraq, or propagandists, intelligence operatives, or banking moguls? The rest are just fucking dick sucker "politicians".

It's not about money, it's about power and control. For the servants, it's about money.

Horses have built in fear of anything that looks like a cattle guard. That is why painted white stripes on the exit road is enough to keep horses in a field.

They are really the same thing. Money gives the power to make other people do things.

When Saddam was trying to flee US forces, he had semi-trailers loaded with $100 bills going with him. He converted his political power into money, just another form.

Just pity the hired help that must do that for her.

No, power is money, but money isn't power. Our central bank, the Federal Reserve, can create as much fucking money as they want, to buy anything they want. Politicians, farmland, wars, assassinations, anything. Anything at all. They aren't rich, they are infinitely rich. They can create 1 trillion dollars in seconds. That's power.

Hussein was a dumb underlying.

He had no real power. The Federal Reserve created the money necessary to murder him just as they created the money, to put him in power in the late 1970's because he was an enemy of the religious radicals that took over Iran, in 1979, as a result of the US overthrowing Iran's previous government in 1953 in Operation Ajax, which the Federal Reserve ALSO paid for.

The Federal Reserve are our true rulers. We can subvert them, just buy all the non perishable commodities on the planet. They sell them after all, they have to in order to retain any legitimacy.

Moon landings were in the 80s?

I think the point is that faking the moon landings would be pretty fucking hard with late 1960's technology.

The videos and the photographs have been around forever. On top of that, a lot of stuff was left behind, it's not like they returned the moon buggies for example, they are still there. So are human bags of shit, literally.

In order to have falsified the moon landing, it would have taken an ENORMOUS amount of cooperation between Europe, then Russia, and now China and India. The sites can be (relatively) trivially inspected at this point. Although Space 1999 seemed plausible at the time in terms of special effects (they just sped up the camera to depict low gravity), they don't today - just speed up the video to 2x and they are just walking around.

That was high tech in 1971.

We've not had a film yet that realistically depicts low gravity. The Martian was obviously just recorded in Earth gravity. Depicting 1/3rd gravity would have been difficult, and expensive. Weightlessness isn't so hard today, with modern CGI and digital removal of wires. To do the same in 1969 would have required a team of special effects people, and even then, it wouldn't have stood the test of time.

2001 was done by Kubrick, but even HE didn't try to film low earth gravity. The rotating space station would have only produced about 1/6th gravity in the station, the centrifuge in the discovery wouldn't be anywhere close to 1G, the moon base was done in normal earth gravity. Kubrick didn't even try, and he didn't go that good of a job of depicting 0 G either. It was an amazing film for it's time, and even stands up today but there's no real films that really try to get it right, even now.

We have quite a few of those on earth too, like Fauci, Collins, Bourla, Bancel, and the whole Biden crime family.

Well, sure, but nothing remarkable about them. Human bags of shit on the moon is actually kind of interesting. Would be interesting to inspect what's left after 50+ years.

That's some shit one of my wee ones would have me do. While the other one yells, my turn! My Turn! Only to run away when I turn to him.

The moon is close enough - with a powerful enough telescope, you can see the abandoned machinery, etc. There's a reason the moon landings were on the earthside/nearside - that's so that continuous telemetry could be maintained.

For all the fake moon landings fucks - there's an easy way to prove it - Just buy a 400-1000X objective telescope and scope out the landing sites. These fucks who will finance flat earthers to construct a craptastick "rocket" to prove the earth is flat won't spend $5K for a telescope that will shatter their delusions.

At its closest, the moon is over 225,000 miles away. At that distance it seems one could not discern a football stadium let alone a landing site. Is there a link to any website that displays pictures of landing sites taken by folks using 1000x scopes?

Due to optical diffraction limit (lambda / D; wavelength of light divided by lens diameter), even without taking into account the changing distortions due to atmosphere, a theoretically ideal telescope on earth would have to be 200 meters in lens diameter to differentiate two points on the moon 1 meter apart. i.e. if you want to see the lander at 1 inch per pixel resolution (to have an image of the lunar lander as about 60 pixels across in width), you'd have to have a telescope lens 7874 meters across, i.e. a lens nearly 5 miles in diameter!
