Reg,

I am gobsmocked by your lack of understanding. Such an aberration is hard to fathom. You’re ordinarily quite astute. So i will write this off as a one-off and educate you.

Don’t you know that Hamas is at the forefront of the resistance against the evil zionist entity? Those brave leaders are spearheading the resistance to all forms of…[Read more]

Ceasefires depend on both sides believing the other will abide by what they agreed to. The  track record isn’t great here. If Hamas remains in power and still armed, that undermines the logic of the ceasefire. They still don’t accept Israel’s right to exist. The Hamas Covenant of 1988 endorses an armed struggle until Israel is obliterated. It sof…[Read more]

Reg and Jake,

Not only is Hamas still around, but on last check, still hasn’t released all the remains of the dead hostages. And Hamas still upholds Islam as it’s ideology, including it’s war with the rest of humanity. And there are a total of 20 points to the Peace Plan where anything could go wrong and Trump still is under the delusion that…[Read more]

Yes, they always do it publicly. How else can they win a free and fair election every 20 years.  Their god is great and their fan clubs in the West will continue to justify their support for them.

Viva la resistance!

Execute those vile collaborators. Do it publicly. Muslim Arabs and lefties will be with you.

The problem is, there’s “something for everyone” in the scripture.  God is both vengeful and merciful.  Now, in real life, that is what is required to enforce proper behaviour.  It’s just that some people love the “venge…[Read more]

I am trying to explain to an Irish-American MAGA supporter that it is not the fault of the Democrats that there is a government shutdown. I explained it along the lines of the following:

“That’s not how it works. The House — which the Republicans control — is where all spending bills start. If the House GOP can’t agree among themselves on a budg…[Read more]

Simon, with the introduction of ‘a personal relationship with Jesus’ concept, no two Christians have the same set of strongly held views – your post seems to imply that it’s a set based on the religion, rather than on the individual’s pick-and-choose approach to what God wants 🙂

Y’all heard Kennedy now blaming autism on Tylenol, linked directly to it being taken right after circumcisions, right?

I think there’s more to it than that.  Religious people usually have a strong “conscience” – whether that means humble self-guidance on one hand, or entitled, authoritarian meddling in the affairs of the rest of us, on the other extreme.  They have strongly h…[Read more]

Re the AI video, it is not possible to jailbreak ChatGPT or any LLM either. The presenter is being disingenuous. At best he has modified the way the “voice” reacts to him, which anyone can do in settings.

Most commercial AI systems like OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Microsoft (Copilot), Perplexity, etc.  all work the same way: the…[Read more]

Thanks for that vid re AI Reg.

Muy interesante.

Yay!! Thanks Reg!!!

Have a great week!

Pete Rose could not get into the fucking baseball hall of fame as a result of moral turpitude. Do we really gives a shit about sports figures and their misdeeds? And what did he do? Bet on games while coaching. Wasn’t even betting against his team.

Trump is a traitor and a criminal and utterly self-serving. Sold Ukraine down the river when they…[Read more]
