re: What has happened to this country? Everyone now craves the control of big government?

Keep in mind, 30% of the colonists supported The Revolution. 70%!! wanted to stay with the crown.
Sadly, the overwhelming majority of the population CRAVES subjugation for the inherent "saftey" it provides. After all, if you agree with someone and they are making all the choices, things cant be that bad, right?
Freedom, on the other hand, "sucks" because its so goddamn hard. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom. Some people cant stand that.
These days, life is so fricking easy from a historical perspective that loud mouth idiots think they have a say in the matter without having to put any skin in the game. Historically, when people without skin in the game start telling people with A LOT to lose how things should be it never works out well.
Guess we'll see how it goes.

Those assholes have a profit margin North of 35%. most of not all regulated utilities are in the single digits profit wise. They would all happily invest in new plants and such but it's too easy politically to attack the evil utility. So we get CA regulators shutting down nuke plants and then turn around and wonder why they can't meet base load requirements.

Bro takes his hat off at one point...sees a dude charging him, PUTS THE HAT BACK ON, then proceeds to starch people up left and right. :rotflmao:
I would have had ALL the second thoughts after seeing how he swung that left. And what is it with that one dude wearing an Army uniform? Did I see that correctly?

re: Predator badlands
Posted by UnitedFruitCompany on 1/12/26 at 12:43 pm to Barkbowwow
I wrote a fun, practice screenplay, for a predator movie.
Its basically a story about rich predator hunters and the shite they get into both on the hunts and at home with the Mrs.
if you have hunting buddies (or are one yourself!), you know the shite they get into. Missed shots, drinking too much at the lodge, how the shite you wear to hunt has become a fashion show (duck hunters, im looking at you and your shitka gear) and how their is always an old timer who tells you they used to bag massive limits using painted gallon jugs as decoys and waffle box thermals for warmth. Hell, even "getting away from the wife" as a pretext for hunting. Yautja women can be so insufferable these guys would risk death by massive explosion to get away from them. shite like that. Even the shade they throw at each other like bow hunters vs rifle hunters (bro, this isnt like your training when you shoot someone from a mile away with the shoulder cannon. you gotta get up close and personal with the trusty wrist mounted sword, like this, BADA BING! and then you ruin your fancy college boy fishnet outfit"
How someone hasn't done this already kinda blows my mind. Yes, it has a dark comedy tone to it.

re: Voter fraud doesn’t happen. Ever. Ok, maybe a little. But, it’s isolated. Not widespread

Ive always felt that college mailroms are a big source of voter fraud. Think about the thousands of students, freshmen specifically, who get addresses at college and then never think about it once they move out. is it any wonder college towns tend to roll blue? Id bet any money there is rampant fraud like this case happening at damn near every college mail room in the country.

Bunch of British commandos did this with land rovers. They got across successfully but were literally dropping crates of dynamite over the side of their helos. Not to kill anyone but to scare the locals who would just as soon kill you as watch you trespass on their land. Granted, they were also armed to the teeth but you know, theatricality and deception and all that jazz.
And yes, before you ask, they basically winched the rangers up and over cliffs. They even said having them was totally unnecessary but wanted to have them anyway.

re: Coleman (Trading Places), Alfred (Batman) or Hobson (Arthur)?
Posted by UnitedFruitCompany on 1/4/26 at 11:32 pm to muttenstein
Alfred regularly talked shite to BATMAN and not only lived to tell about it but was never chastised for it. Like, in basically every iteration. Thats how much respect Bruce Wayne had for Alfred.
Alfred: Did you get mauled by a tiger?
BW: It was a dog.
Alfred: eh?
BW: Its was a BIG dog.
To say nothing of all the smart arse dry/glib shite BTAS version Alfred used to tell him.
Alfred all the way. Coleman has zero loyalty and also once got lost in his own museum so frick that guy.

re: Yall ever had a package show “delivered” but wasn’t delivered?
Posted by UnitedFruitCompany on 1/4/26 at 9:06 am to RetiredSaintsLsuFan
My place in the mountains actually doesn't have a mailbox or a community area where you can get the mail. Its really weird. USPS just refuses to serve the area. And its not as if i live in a cabin inna woods. Neighbor up the street has his house listed for about what Brian Kelly's is listed for and its not near as nice.
UPS, no trouble. Fedex also not bad. USPS package delivery? Have easily lost $1000 worth of shite (all refunded so whatever) because the company im using uses USPS despite me telling them in the order not to; its madness.
