I remember as a kid, hearing the phrase “Don’t think about elephants” and elephants being the only thing I could possibly think of.

I don’t know when exactly, but by 40, I had learned to shut off my inner monologue. I realized it when I came across that phrase again, and realized that I could, indeed, consciously stop thinking about elephants.

The only party worth talking about is the Guillotine Party.

Umm… There is one glaring flaw here:

3.4 million data points visualized from several data breaches.

We are only looking at the pin codes of people whose data has been compromised.

Some instances disable downvotes. Certainly not all, but some. I’m not 100% sure if that means they dont count down votes in their communities, or if they dont allow their users to downvote anywhere, but I suspect the latter.

The reality is that “tactical” and “strategic” are functionally meaningless adjectives when applied to weapons or systems.

Theoretically, “tactical” refers to how a military unit engages another military unit. It is how a commander wins a battle against an enemy unit.

“Strategic” refers to how a nation engages another nation. It is how a government wins a war.

The term “tactical nuke” referred to something that a lower level commander could have been authorized to use under his own judgment. If Soviet tanks were rolling across Europe during the cold war, commanders may have been granted the discretion to use small nuclear weapons to halt their advance.

Since the the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction was established, there has been no such thing as a “tactical” nuke. Any wartime use of a nuclear weapon of any kind demands an escalation to total annihilation. I used the term “tactical” ironically, to refer to a pre-“MAD” doctrine that can no longer exist.

In declaring that conventional bombs cannot penetrate this fixed bunker, it seems that someone is pushing for unconventional warfare. The reality is that this bunker is not impenetrable. It shares the same weakness as any bunker: getting into and out of it. Bomb the entrances to the bunker, and it will take months or years to tunnel back in. Whatever they are doing inside it, they won’t be doing until they manage to dig it up again.

Coreium.

We drop an overloading nuclear reactor on top of the complex, and let the radioactive core China-Syndrome itself straight through, rendering the entire area uninhabitable for thousands of years.

Sounds to me like someone is trying to justify actually using a tactical, atomic bunker buster.

Unless the next major fashion craze is the “Kevlar Turtleneck”, I dont think it particularly matters what they do.

“Guillotine Party” is to the Democrats what the Tea Party was to Republicans: a complete overhaul from the inside out.

It takes 2/3 of voting senators to remove him. That doesn’t need to be 67 if some of them abstain, resign, are recalled, or are otherwise unwilling or incapable of casting a vote.

He needs to be impeached for his flagrant violations of the Posse Commitatus act, but that was more than a week ago, so nobody remembers.

You dont have to switch phones entirely, and you’re better off if you dont. iCrap is still far worse than anything Google is coming out with.

Just switch to a different dialer/phone app to replace “Phone” and a different SMS/MMS app to replace 'Messages". I’ve used “Should I Answer” in the past for my default phone app, and I currently use QKSMS for texting.

If they claim they destroyed everything in the first round, they don’t have a reason to go back.

She wasn’t his girlfriend. He found her interesting because she was a client, and she slept above the covers.

Four feet above the covers.

Nobody has the moral fortitude to step forward and fix shit because it’s broken.

I bet this guy knows how to play Mario Kart.

Well, not with that attitude.
