Politics: The Undiscovered Country
I Googled "which democratic candidate is socialist" and got this chart from Mar. Assuming it is reasonably accurate it looks like Im going to have to vote Sanders or Warren. The next closest; Harrris, Gabbard and Booker are too middle-of-the-road.

What you did Today: The Story of you
I recently traded in my car for a new (used) car. I was thiiiiiiiis close to 200k miles (199781) but it was starting to nickel and dime me so I had to let it go.

So do you guys and gals feel that you are now living in anonymity?

I would agree with that. But I don't think for a minute that that would stop a state sponsored ability to crack it. For example, doesnt Apple already provide the most robust encryption protocols, which are cracked on every update by the Israelis?

Huh, I thought all the squealing piggy's got it out of their system in 2013 when Snowden revealed PRISM.

It would never work in a Western society anyway, were way too selfish. But imo, for a homogenized culture it is a very powerful tool that will keep them from degrading like we are.

Im very interested to see the development of the "social credit system" the Chinese have implemented.

Yes, it is in the authoritarian direction. But I don't mean total control, something like 75% more STFU from people, especially the "media".

Speaking of which, what would my political affiliation be if I want strong social controls and all my life expenses to be paid for by "the rich"?

^Since reading your mention I watched the first 3 episodes of Wu Assassin. Netflix will just bankroll anything it seems but Im going to try to push through a few more episodes.

I dunno g, if the crime isn't criminal, neither should the transportation. You don't want floaters, do you?

Such beautiful outfits! Imo, coyotes are similar to bus drivers. They aren't forcing anyone to immigrate, they just collect a fee and drive a few miles over the border. Otherwise these poor troubled souls could get lost in the hot hot desert or drown in the Rio Grande. They are truly doing gods work for those that cannot. "Gas, grass or ass, but nobody rides free."

K Its a damn shame illegal immigration isn't really illegal, but driving them across the border is. That must really harsh a lot of future patriots. So sad. We should probably just make it legal too so we don't have to bother to prosecute them.

GOOD MORNING VIETNAM! So lets see whats up today. Trumps wants to buy Greenland (probably to protect the reptoids) and the selfish Danes wont let it go. Id also like to circle back and see if our crack resident legal scholars have any wisdom into why coyotes suffer a disproportionate punishment to the crime. Weve already established that: "illegal" doesn't really mean illegal and "illegal" immigration is no different from crossing the street outside of a crosswalk or perhaps speeding +1 to +9 mph, so why do they hammer the coyotes? I picture it going down like this: Coyote: "ay carumba, border patrol is behind us!" BP: *pulls over car* coyote: *sweating profusely* bp: "Alright, everyone from the passenger seat on back...welcome to America" coyote: "whaaa?" bp: "Not you, youre going to the stoney lonesome." coyote: "nooooo, I will become permanently brain damaged by any incarceration" bp: "sucker" That just seems plain unfair.

TV and Streaming: The Thread
Thanks for the link, Raithe. I watched the whole thing, and it was bad, but it reminded me of a lot that Ive forgotten since I read the books. Its also funny to me to compare how Ive been saying some of the words in my head (ie: Aes Sedai) vs how its supposed to be pronounced.

Dangit, that article just reminded me of Winter Dragon, which I wanted to see but is no longer on Netflix. Was it as terrible as prophesied?

Its a damn shame that coyotes face fines and imprisonment for doing gods work. smh.

Politics: The Final Frontier
@Hurlshot: Oh you rascal! Im on the side of zero borders. But just in case you aren't aware, theres an entire federal level organization designed and tasked with allowing in a set number of immigrants per year. I know, crazy right? Theres absolutely not a single reason for this policy to exist and yet these brave souls partake the journey, knowing deep in there hearts that only pain and suffering awaits, but its still better that the ****hole they are coming from. Its inspiring and somebody should make a movie. Im also annoyed by traffic laws but that's a whole nother discussion and I don't want things to get confusing.

Hohoho, the sky is truly falling! Ill try to address them in the two points they try to make: 1) Child separations; no mention of "how long" of a separation is required to cause irreversible brain damage, but apparently its measured in hours or days? Bummer. 2) Inhumane conditions: that article is so stupid and sensationalist it almost caused my PC to become sentient and self format the C drive. But lets not let that get in the way of conversation! Why do you suppose immigrants keep flocking to this land? Are they masochist who want to go to "torture facilities" that cause "intentional mental and emotional abuse"? Do they hate their children? Fake news?
