Minor correction: It was not Dirk Gently who invented time travel or used it to go back and watch TV shows he had missed because he couldn't figure out how to program his VCR. It was the aged Professor Reg. Gently himself was very tech savvy, as was Richard McDuff, one of the other main protagonists in the novel. And that was one my favorite parts too.

No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home
Res Ipsa, I found that a good article you posted. Sometimes people find it easier to feel an urgent need for change than to really plan what sort of change is best and how to construct that change. It is easier just to attack the present system. At that point phrases like" no happiness until capitalism is gone" can be traded for maga or some other bandwagon.

Ditto on The True Believer. I think it's quite relevant to what we are observing today.MeDotOrg wrote: ↑Tue Nov 01, 2022 9:04 pmI recommend Eric Hofer's The True Believer. Written in the aftermath of World War II, it discusses the commonalities between extremist movements. The more authoritarian a movement, the closer it is to its counterpart on the other side of the political spectrum. Is North Korea a Communist Nation or a Fascist Nation? It depends on how you look at it. Conversely, extreme libertarians on the left and right have more in common with each other than with the authoritarian branches of their respective ideologies.
As far as Dirk Gently goes, my favorite part of his Universe was that he invented time travel to go back and watch TV shows he had missed because he couldn't figure out how to program is VCR.

Not sure that I get your point, perhaps you can explain what your point is. but in any case aren't you off the topic of my post? Also,..... kick the new owner of Twitter of Twitter?

Surely you must agree that Musk is an asshole for promoting the asinine lie of the Paul Pelosi gay lover attack conspiracy theory. Please tell me that you are no so freaking stupid as to believe that the republican Paul Pelosi gay lover attack conspiracy theory may have any basis in reality.

Man, some people truly are blithering idiots. Kick the owner off his own platform? Ajax, you need to get your head checked. Or not. You’re going to ride this qtard magatrain til you’re dead. Maybe go camping will help. You’ll feel better.Nomomo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 10:48 amNot sure that I get your point, perhaps you can explain what your point is. but in any case aren't you off the topic of my post?

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home
Doc, now I am confused. (I was quoting Hawkeye) Are Hawkeye and Ajax one and the same? Or was Hawkeye just momentarily being as stupid as Ajax? Or is Hawkeye always as stupid as Ajax? It is a little embarrassing to admit it, but, I guess I do not spend enough time in the forum to know if Hawkeye is also Ajax or if he is only just as stupid as Ajax sometimes.Doctor CamNC4Me wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 1:17 pmMan, some people truly are blithering idiots.

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home
Hawkeye was a different poster on the old board. But when we had to move to this one, ajax jumped on the Hawkeye username and created a sock pretending to be a progressive poster. He's stopped attempting to do one man shows and now just posts the same under each for the most part.Nomomo wrote: ↑Thu Nov 10, 2022 1:33 pmDoc, now I am confused.

Re: Pelosi's Husband Attacked in Home
Yes. And Honor explained the details correctly. For some reason, Shades doesn’t allow new sock puppets to be used, but a poster like Ajax can use multiple old sock puppets because that damned makes sense.
Also, Ajax. You know you’re practicing deceit when you do this. You’re awfully comfortable acting Satanic - perhaps you should meditate over this, and stop presenting as different posters when it’s just you.
