@Hircus - would it be better if I just put the 1-800 number down for ACBHS ? Easy enough to do and then no false antivirus claims that way

Dude, chill with the passive aggressiveness. Maybe one of you is not up to date on the software? Could be a multitude of reasons. No need to start saying people are throwing around false claims. And yes, government websites do get hacked.

Hircus has always seemed to be a straight shooter. Not sure why he/she would lie about something so trivial (sorry, don't want to presume gender with our awesome modern gender issues).

DooDahMan says

Just this morning I was pondering things over and I said to myself, self - I bet the damn deep state is behind all of these cost over runs etc. in a concentrated effort to get 45 out of office and replace him with a bumbling senile old fool and a bimbo who could screw up a wet dream.

Well cheer up, they don't have to anymore for the short term anyway. They got $40 Billion in new fresh clandestine funding. Remember the Ukraine vs Russia war we heard so much about, but after Congress approved giving them $40Bln the media went dark on the subject, and it turns out Ukraine is getting a fetid mudhole stomped in their ass, and Kissinger is now saying. "Perhaps, Zelinski should give it a rest already? Now that we got the Check!"

DooDahMan says

I keep telling you and you keep forgetting I have followed this site for years - I know how the shit works here and you yourself have accused me (without proof) of being a former poster on the site.

Lol. Proof. Don't be offended. Your style is no different than your previous user names. You haven't just "followed" the site, you've participated. Any long time user here knows it too.

I'm also not sure where I said you're a liar. Didn't see that word in my comments. You copy and paste links with the content of the article. Been doing it for almost a decade on and off.

DooDahMan says

But it is okay for some people to do it though

Yes. It's the internet.

Not sure how it got here. I said Hircus seemed like a straight shooter. I've not always agreed with his takes.

As much as some users want to claim this is some echo chamber, I highly disagree. It's a good place for discussion if you're willing to discuss. Seems you're not and want to push your agenda which is fine. Just know people will push back when they don't agree. Has nothing to do with you dude. I think most here lean libertarian which means our square peg doesn't fit in the round hole you want it to. Most everyone is cordial as they have no interest in controlling you or influencing you.

Tenpoundbass says

They got $40 Billion in new fresh clandestine funding.

Remember the resolution to amend the resolution to include Auditing and Accounting for every cent spent out of the $40 billion was shot down by both parties.

They don't want anyone to know most of that $40 billion will go to buying mail in ballots from the great Citizens of the Shithole Detroit.

Let's hope it went to secret moon base or star wars program maintenance instead.

The only sure way to not fail is to not try doing anything new.

On the second thought there is this thing:




Far from new or cutting edge but still failing miserably.

RWSGFY says

Everybody has such a list handy.

Three countries is not a list

One is more than enough to defeat the premise. Three puts a giant wooden stake in its rotten heart.

As I said, Kissinger is a stupid cunt, making stipid, albeit catchy, statements.

Best quote I have heard is Joe Biden claiming the white house doesn't have some control knob that sets gasoline prices. I find that ironic, since he and Obama specifically set out to make gasoline unaffordable to save us from climate change. Not only does the white house have the control knob, they turned it a little too far and now are going to suffer some consequences.

New refineries and expanding capacity at existing refineries are two different things.

I'd like more details on exactly what failed and why. I have a suspicion that it's either new stuff that wasn't tested under real world conditions or something that was supposed to save fuel that broke.

WookieMan says

Dude, chill with the passive aggressiveness.

@DooDahMan You are absolutely passive-aggressive, in a huge way.

Most of your comments seem to be designed to provoke anger and disrupt, not to constructively add to any discussion.

I suspect you are a previous user who was banned for exactly the same behavior before. I'm going to run all your comments through moderation for a while.

Yes, they are all Standard Oil at the end of the day. But you may have noticed Arco stations do not put the BP in their logos anymore. There's a reason.

The driving doesn't vary because the gas stations are all in my town, and I'm not a door-to-door saleseman, or courier. Chevron gas is for shit.

Starve the poor Muslim or lower caste/untochable beef eaters of Hindooo land and especially kill their leather industry...
But sell your "mom" everywhere to make money by same upper caste Hindooo cultists... Pathetic inhumane Hindooo cult.

... The contempt they have for regular folks is unbearable.

https://sabrangindia.in/article/who-making-millions-india-out-beef-export-muslims-think-again
Whenever there is any talk of slaughter of animals it is commonly assumed that only Muslims who love meat are engaged in this business. However, you will be surprised to know that the biggest modern slaughter houses in India which export beef have little to do with the followers of Islam. In fact, the big players are from the Hindu community.

Protecting Schools the Israeli Way

The widest circles belong to law enforcement and society, doing their best to track and forestall potential threats, and more effectively treat mental illness. We’ve now learned of multiple catastrophic failures at every level of social and political prevention in the Parkland shooting.

If society and law enforcement failed this badly, the idea that guns should be taken out of the hands of law-abiding citizens is folly.

The security circles that we can do something about begin at any school’s entrance, says Goldstein. America wants action. This is action that can be taken right now. "There should only be one entrance and exit into any school property. Fences, security cameras, and a constant check that these areas have not been compromised is essential. At that one entrance, a guard must know exactly who it is that is entering the school property at all times. The guard should have the right to search all vehicles and bags.”

Guards at movie studios check ID and are permitted to search vehicles entering the lot. After 9/11, they even used mirrors to look underneath cars. How can we protect movie studios, yet not give our children the same protection?

“There should be a minimum of two guards on every campus, providing a contingency in case one of them is disabled,” Goldstein adds.“Who are these guards? There are thousands of proud veterans who would gladly step up and use their training to protect our nation's children, as well as be grateful for the employment.”

DooDahMan says

The Saudi's just jacked up export oil prices again in the last 48 hours (not for the U.S. temporarily at least) which in turn has caused an even bigger spike in world oil prices. Goldman now is calling for $130 a bbl oil based on global demand. At the current trend $150 a bbl is looking more and more like a sure thing until there is a "Global" demand destruction event or series of events.

We've had oil prices at or above $130 before and outside of a few cities gas prices didn't hit $5/gal during the Bush years. What we're witnessing is insane. Closest I've been to a $100 fill up was maybe $75 two years ago, otherwise always less. I've breached $115 per fill up now and we're near one of the midwests largest refineries.

There's less demand. Even with summer travel. The economics don't make sense. Congress or the White House can do something, they just don't or won't. Biden can do stuff, but we get fixated on party politics and "green" energy or you won't get elected. Things like pipelines are very safe and either way we're pulling this shit from the ground anyway.

Fact is urban city dewellers lean left and consume substantially more energy than rural people. I buy a cow from the local farmer, he doesn't have to load dozens in a trailer and haul them somewhere in a semi spitting out deisel fumes. I grow the veggies we use most of the time that last 6-12 months if prepped well. No urban heat sink where I have to run A/C high all summer. A 2/2 Condo in say Chicago at 800sq ft, consumes way more energy than I do when you factor everything being shipped in. Idleing on a highway for hours in a semi.

Even if no new refineries are being built as you claimed, we just had pandemic where it's okay to WFH and supposedly millions of people died. Oil consumption is down. Or the free handouts made people less likely to work. It's a combination of a lot of things and Biden and Congress could fix this with policy. This is on D's and R's too, not just picking on one side.

WookieMan says

Perhaps refining is now more expensive because of Bidenflation.
DooDahMan says

Regardless of political party whoever is in the White House/Congress can do very little now

Build more pipelines, allow drilling on Fed land, stop vilifying oil companies who behave in exactly the same way or even better than so-called renewable energy companies (who suck on taxpayer teat more than oil and make inefficient and not necessarily environmentally efficient product).

About lack of refineries being the only reason behind higher gas prices - I don't buy that. Assuming that gas price is A+B+C+D, where A is oil price which accounts for about 60% of gas price, refining which is about 20% (B), and the rest is transportation, marketing (C), and taxes (D), the higher oil price is gotta have an oversized influence on gas prices. Oil price can be influenced by gubbermint and so can the taxes. It goes without saying that oil companies will try to maximize profits, and it is easier for them to do it at times when we have gyrations in oil price (when it goes up, jack prices up fast; when it goes down, lower slowly), but I think it is not correct to say that gov't has no influence.

You don't understand CA. It's population it has been importing over the last 40 years is ok with the way things are. Most the people that would be against what's going on have bailed or are sheltered. Most under thirty have been indoctrinated.

West Virgina is blue state as per your logic.

West Virginia is currently represented in the Senate by Democrat Joe Manchin (serving since 2010) and Republican Shelley Moore Capito (serving since 2015), making it one of seven states to have a split United States Senate delegation.

Relates more to D local judges and District Attorneys, who let perps go. Doubt that in WV they are D's; in Houston/Harris county, they are.

This past week I read some articles about the potential new LA mayor - was recently a republican who did an republican > independent > democrat switcheroo over the past few years, and is now leading the LA mayor race by platforming on fixing democrat failures in taxes, crime, and homelessness. The dems are scurred because hes very popular, and have been trying to focus fire on him but supposedly nothing is working and sticking to him.

I hope he wins, but he seems like an infiltrator, and I suspect he may go down soon if he's surrounded by viscous angry libs in all the other govt positions, seething in anger that hes rocking the boat and infiltrating their precious fortified stronghold of LA. He'll need to watch his six lest he catches a dagger from an npc.

I must say I LOVE the last minute registration as a dem trick. It really flings the whole "change what you identify as" turd right back in their fayce.

What happened in our municipality is that many local quality of life ordinances were suspended in the name of compassion. Overnight camping and impromptu RV parks sprung up around town, along with the attendant bad behavior. I did a several mile walk this past weekend and many of the trouble spots have been cleaned up, but a lot of shenanigans still going on off the main thorough fares.

As a democrat-> independent, I think Shellenberger has the best chance to make a run for the governorship...

tressing that even if the submarine should spring a leak, she was prepared to go down with the ship.

I think it's more like, "When you have sold your soul to the devil (Globalists, Chinese, whoever), the devil never lets you rest."
You notice all the crumbles who stay in power forever. About the age of 60 or so, most people just want to relax, travel, spend time with their kids, read, etc.

These politicians have been burnished as criminal emplacements, and they got rich doing it.

However, the criminal code is that once you stop producing, you are then nothing but a potential State's witness, or a smarmy deathbed confession waiting to happen. Plus, you are an investment as a brand name and a figurehead.

These guys may have to stay on the job to stay alive. They have to show up to the makeup and dressing wagon every morning for their coupla hours of primping while reading the ticker tapes from Switzerland for their day's performance. I don't think they have a say in their retirement as much as most people think they do.

They got the dough, but can't relax to enjoy it as long as they have a breath to impose their fuckaciousness. Devil's bargain.

Well, with some hope he is!

I've seen many companies in Silly Con Valley go under because some immigrant asshole who controlled the company was a bigot. They'd hire only from a select group not based on competence, and as a result, they were outcompeted.

Wouldn't mind seeing Google go under. I hope he's racist as fuck.

Google is a poison and the sooner they go down, the better. I welcome their destruction. They are traitors to our Constitution. Fuck them.

DooDahMan says

Oil company executives would rather find ways to boost their share price than increase production

It's a volume business, you do understand that, right? Oil will always make money. They can pump and refine more oil and make the same profits at $60 or $130 per barrel. They just sell fewer barrels at $130 and the margins are higher.

This is my wife's business. I'm going to have a fantastic year because people are not all that intelligent about the market for crude.

We can shoot the shit here talking about oil, but if you haven't worked in the industry and sold it you're kind of talking out your ass.

Another way to pay off credit card debt is to die.
It's an "unsecured debt" so they are stuck with the debt when you finally depart this world.

They're stuck with the debt even if alive or dead. It was a business transaction on their end. They made a bad deal if you don't pay. No one should ever fall into the bankruptcy lawyer trap or the collectors trap. You're broke and you're paying someone to be more broke with BK. My dad handled hundreds if not thousands of BK's so I know the game.

Screen calls. Never say your name answering the phone. If they ask your name say no and what do they want. If you were ever to get served, don't comply. Just say you're watching the house for a buddy and you're not you if you don't know the person.

I've never had to do this, but it's the way to make it go away. Collection companies will not go to court to garnish wages for anything under $20k and likely higher. If you're 1099 or have a stay at home spouse, there's not much they can do either and they know it. I got a Ph.D. in this shit during the housing bust as we did short sales to get commissions. But we also needed to know about other debt and have talked to 100's of attorneys that knew the game. Not honest or ethical, but at some point you need to take care of you. Remember, it's a business transaction. The banks made the game. Sometimes they have to take a loss.

what exactly do people mean when they say "retire"? Or is it another of those undefinable words like Woman?
