I believe that the new gender-neutral term is "chestfeeding".  Ew. And Yuck.

Off topic... the Space Force has to be reorganized.  It should have proper naval ranks.  Otherwise all science fiction has to be rewritten.  And a new name.  Why wasn't anyone with a brain consulted before this started?

Spin Zone / Re: Biden forgives $10,000 in student loans
« on: May 06, 2024, 01:27:54 PM »
Necropost!!  Once again FJB is trying to buy votes by "forgiving" student loans.  I tried to explain this to my niece.  She said that the taxpayer is not involved in any of this.  The loan just goes away.  I had to patiently explain that the taxpayer is completely involved with this.  The money is borrowed from the taxpayer (government) and given to the university through the student.  That's the loan.  The loan is now "forgiven".  The university has the money.  The taxpayer (government) paid that money.  The taxpayer (government) will not get that money paid back from the student. 

That made no sense, so I tried again...
You loan me $1000.  Later on, you forgive that loan.  Where is the money?  I have it.  Who lost money on the deal?  You did.  I no longer have to pay you back that $1000.  Why would you forgive that loan?  To get something back.  So I says, "like votes?"

I then had to explain that the first 80% of the loan's life you're paying only interest and no principle if you make only the minimum payment.  This person is supposedly college educated.  Dumb as a rock.  Yeah, the taxpayers got their money's worth there.

I think Martha’s Vineyard enclave of “elite” libs have caused the democrap shift wayyyy left. For sure there’s moderate dems but they’re either being blackmailed or just sucking it up to go along. [...]
The word for this is Quisling.  An amazing description that we don't hear nearly enough.
Quote
Quisling is a term used in Scandinavian languages and in English to mean a citizen or politician of an occupied country who collaborates with an enemy occupying force – or more generally as a synonym for traitor or collaborator. The word originates from the surname of the Norwegian war-time leader Vidkun Quisling, who headed a domestic Nazi collaborationist regime during World War II.

This administration reminds me of a freak show at the circus.
The circus analogy is excellent.  I remember going to a three-ring circus when I was very young.  They used one ring as a distraction as they dismantled the other rings for the next act.  Lions in cages in ring 1, then clowns in ring 2 as they dismantled ring 1, then acrobats in ring 3 as they set up ring 1 for something else.  Always distraction from the real dismantling and setting up something different.  Now I wonder what all these campus riots are trying to distract us from?  or what are they setting up that we won't see?  And the price for admission to this circus is all the money you have.

Pretty much everything the regime does is staged.  This is yet another indication of the communist behind the scenes. 

If they manage to steal the upcoming election, the next phase will be huge billboards of the president everywhere, with some message.   Then, internet will be heavily censored and monitored.  You will only see and hear state approved media.

We are almost there.  One more election seals the deal.
I'm not so sure.  Looking at the UK, they have had a HUGE influx of Muslim immigrants.  Resulting in mayors and other elected officials who advocate Sharia Law.  A recently elected person said that Sharia Law will be the law of the land in 10 to 20 years.  With unrestricted immigration there is nothing keeping that from happening here.  The democrats will have their day by stealing elections.  But their policies will open up their eventual demise to Muslim law.  And we see the foreshadowing of this in the "elite" college campuses as the sheep bow to the latest thing.

Why don't those who are fighting hardest for a new communist / socialist America realize that they will be the first ones up against the wall when it happens?

When I get told "OK Boomer" I simply reply "OK renter".

The democrat reply is always the same, though unspoken.  What is the "fair share" that you want millionaires to pay in taxes?  All of it.  How much do you need to send to Ukraine to win the war?  All of it.  And even then it's not enough.

I was 12 in 1971. Damn you people are old!   ;D
I may be old but I refuse to grow up.  It's kind of strange seeing my birth year coming around again.

Nose rings, face piercings, huge ear holes.  I don't get it. I don't understand what would make someone think a shiny ball bearing stuck to their faces, or a washer through the nose, or ear lobes stretched would make them more attractive or more interesting.  I see lots of people with shiny things stuck to the sides of their noses like little blobs of solder.  I want to say "Excuse me, you have something stuck to your nose."  Never mind chunks of metal stuck through things that shouldn't have things stuck through.  But then I also don't get the tattoo craze either.  There is no artwork that I'd want on my body forever.  And on most people it looks bad. Especially an otherwise gorgeous chick with tats and piercings. No. Guess I'm just an unpierced, unmarked rebel these days.

Rusty & Student Pilots / Re: Accelerated Instrument vs. regular

Here we are at the end of April.  Flying as often as the weather permits.  Approaches, procedure turns, holds, frequency changes, and getting used to ATC directions.  Amazing how a CFII can make 1.5 hours seem like 6.  Getting smoother as I get the routine down. It's actually starting to be a lot of fun!

Best part was the end of a VOR approach... Foggles off, get aligned, landing configuration, slow down.  10 knot crosswind.  A King Air waiting for takeoff watching my every move.  Landed a three point squeaker.  Instructor said, "THAT'S how you tailwheel!".   Felt really good.

Her husband will probably stop asking to do it "doggy style".

The dog was a year old not some fluffy baby puppy.  It killed a neighbor's chicken and was about to do another.  She grabbed him by the collar and it turned around and bit her.  I don't know ND law, but I suspect any dog that attacks livestock or bites humans has to be put down.  Rural life.  But her career is toast.

It all became clear when the latest billions of dollars was to "slow the Russian advance".  Like two weeks to slow the spread of covid.  It won't win the war.  It will allow it to go on and on and on.
