Which bit are you objecting to? If you don’t believe that the US is being portrayed by every news agency (worldwide) as a dumpster fire, you are deluded

I assure you, everyone outside of the US knows how bad the US is… the US is the laughing stock of the world right now. We get daily reminders how shit it is, how shit the economy is, how many mass shootings there were today. The world is fascinated by it, sometimes bored.

In this case with the young travellers, they have probably had the holiday booked for ages. Some people just think it wouldn’t happen to them. These sorts of checks would seem random anyway. These sorts of things appear on near every episode of Border Patrol (in Australia) where someone is being sent home because of lack of funds to sustain their length of stay etc…

I seem to quote ‘Zoolander’ a lot

Pretty sure Apple has a few lawyers

Yeah, a family member of mine was in a cult lead by a person who had everyone believing they were a reincarnated sun god… and there were invisible planets travelling through the solar system on a collision course with earth, and aliens… aliens living under the ocean near Japan, and they were thinking of taking over the world in response to Fukushima… I lost touch with her when she was grabbing shovels and heading to the hills to live in a region that had been calculated as ‘too far for the non-believers to make it following a tsunami’…

Just take the your copy of the original movie DVD and say you already own a license for it and demand to be let in for free

It is funny how fascinated we have become with politics while it is this stupid theatre. I would prefer have the Government do a good job so I don’t need to think about them at all

The codebreaker/casino arc in The Last Jedi

When I was young my Dad bought me some mercury home from work… I loved how it moved when I shook the bottle and the weight of it.

When I had my own kids I didn’t want it around, so our local council had set up a event where you could dispose of household liquids like old paints and solvents, so I took it down. When I drove up, the guy asked me what I was disposing of so I said mercury. It was bizarre. I was told to stay in the car and a guy came out of a shed in a full hazmat suit with one of those pairs of metal tongs to retrieve it from me.

I remember Dad telling me that miners used to collect gold pan tailings in mercury and then of a night they would hollow out a potato and put the mercury in, and then put that in the camp fire… it would burn off the mercury and leave a little ingot of gold.
