I was wondering if anyone posted this. A lot of the click bait media are saying it's signs of alien life without the nuance that they're going to keep looking at it to see if what they saw is what they actually thought they saw and stuff like that. If it's twice the mass of earth and there's life, I kind of wonder if bipedal life is possible due to the high gravity. If complex life did form, we might be looking at a planet of squat four-plus legged animals crawling around. Kind of like a world of armadillos, millipedes and crocodiles. Imagine whatever the version of vegetation such a place has would be like, it'd probably be thicker than anything we know on earth. Truly large life would have to live in the oceans.

Gaius. Dude got under my skin a few times but his novel length responses to every subject, no matter the significance, were overblown and unintentionally hilarious.

Even at Head Start, I've seen people who've supported him and still believe he's looking out for them. It's either "he has a plan" or "he just doesn't know what's going on yet." The dude just does not care. He believes he's in a movie centered around him and we're all just extras. He doesn't see a homeless person and thing about "why are they there and what could help them get off the street," instead he sees something unpleasant to look at and wants it out of his view like litter in the gutter. It's like, he doesn't see poor kids and families as people, he sees them as objects the people closest to him detest and are forced to help against their will. Thanks to Fox News and the rightwing media, the underclass see themselves the way he sees them.

They've been pretty successful with just saying "oops!" so far and almost everyone shrugging and moving on. I guess everyone saw it worked with Elon when he fired and rehired the people with the nukes and other similar crap. Now it's just "oops!" all the time and nothing happens. Maybe someone on trial for murder should just say "oops!" because it worked for the president. "He wound up in front of my gun at the moment I pulled the trigger while he was running for his life .... oops!"

So, as someone who works for Head Start, this is kind of a direct threat. Don't know what it is with Republicans and libertarians/conservatives/capitalism-is-god people that makes them believe that money spend on government jobs or jobs funded my government grants just evaporates into the air. Stupid, I guess. Link: White House proposes eliminating Head Start funding as part of sweeping budget cuts

I was Josey when I registered on ASMB in 2003. I was Zoombubba for a bit then got tired of it and went for a placeholder that I currently use. For some reason gained a following of people who like to follow me around and state that I did that. I'm triggering I guess, even though I have a life and no idea what it's about.

He also likes to talk about his huge penis when he gets the chance.

I knew who Ben Shaprio was because he seems to be everywhere. I've heard of the Daily Wire, I just wasn't aware that it was this big thing. I guess they even got into the movie production business? I guess if it goes out of business he has the usual options like Fox, OAN, NewsMax, begging for money on Twitter, begging for money for his Patreon on YouTube, getting paid by College Republicans to incite riots on university campuses, etc., etc.

My wife and I went to a matinee and saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last fall, that was my only adult movie trip since 2016 or something like that. Movies in general ... I usually take my kids to the $5 midday matinee of kid flicks the theatre runs during the summer. Will probably do it again this summer. I don't know if it was because I was a teen who went to the movies 1-2 times a week in the 90s but I just find the newer flicks too noisy, too cookie cutter and too fan servicey. I kind of liked going to the movies and watching Striptease one week and Independence Day the next and that being it instead of nonendings teasing the next sequel.

So, what leadership model will you use? Cool and disciplined TV series Captain Kirk or hot headed and order disobeying Movie Captain Kirk?

I prefer Death 'n' roll Entombed to Left Hand Path Entombed. Actually, I tried to like Left Hand Path Entombed and walked away bored.

Explain what the Daily Wire is to me. Is it a blog or a podcast?

Man, if only we had an agreement with other countries to circumvent China ... oh wait, we did have that agreement called the TPP and Trump torpedoed it.
