If corruption in government is the issue, I just don’t see Putin as a hero hoping or intending to get rid of it.

What we all as Employees and Management need to be concerned about are the Nihilistic looters who walk out of our doors with around $1.5 Million a year just in our store and who have forced us to end 24-7 hours and forced employees to go years at a time without a Quarterly Bonus. Alas, such worldly concerns are trifles to…

Wow, I haven’t used the word eschatology in so long, (years?), I feel neglectful!

@ Robert This attack was a long time coming. It’s been fueled by ongoing abuse of Palestinians, treating them inhumanely as subjects rather than citizens. Maybe Israel should apologize and pay reparations and then it should sue for peace.

Are Hamas and Hezbollah itching to make a deal already? That would be awesome.

I’m not s…[Read more]

So we can celebrate if/when Putin cleans house?

Robert, your casual inhumanity towards civilians is really sickening. If it was wrong for militants to indiscriminately attack Israeli civilians, it is wrong for Israel to murder over a thousand civilians in anything but precision attacks against militants. It was wrong to firebomb Germans in Dresden, it was wrong to nuke Japan twice and it was…[Read more]

I haven’t watched the video (sorry it is way too long). I simply don’t see any massacre of civilians as being justifiably provoked. There is always the option of military targets.

If you start justifying murdering civilians per being provoked, you could justify the Israeli army’s current daily murdering of totally innocent bystanders in their…[Read more]

@Unseen I ran into a Modern Life for the 70’s Mind reaction to Hi Ren (also see above), and watched. Good tip, to just skip the narrative on Bob’s personal life.

At the end of the review he picked up on how the camera recording changed to human-held, making it feel more real, at the most personal moment. The opera singer (above) also pointed this…[Read more]

If anyone here feels stuck in a rut, this woman (who names her Youtube channel “Soprano Notes”) has A LOT of great insight into the Hi Ren piece.

At one point, I’ve seen some reactors feel totally horrified, stupefied enough to not know how to hear and deal with what’s coming next. This reactor handles her first viewing in the best way I’ve seen,…[Read more]

I knew Cream was special, but didn’t get deep into them. Even less so for Rush. I might still get into those rabbit holes. I appreciate three piece bands more now. I’m avoiding Muse and other super-skilled bands, even Polyphia, as talented as they are, I listen in awe to the mechanics, but while feeling the music less.

I like this voice-focused…[Read more]

Jake you’ve gone full fledged Muslims are a malevolent force that have turned Europe into a land where women flee from rapists. You have no problem (rightfully) complaining about anti-Semitism while you brazenly participate in shameless gross Islamophobic narratives.

Gross Jake. Gross.

I’m glad you read a book. A book by a bigot. Reading a book…[Read more]

Robert, you are, genuinely verging into the territory of islamophobia. You are in that grey zone now, closer to Islamophobia than not. No one here on this site, condones the destructive forces of religion, Islam is by no means, any exception. No one here is a fan of Hamas’s policies, nor does anyone here do anything other than fully condemn acts…[Read more]
