If you have an Amzn account, there must be SOMETHING accessible, at least to get started. Reciprocated: If YOU find something even-handed (or, at least, strives for accuracy), let me know. If you have a Kindle account, and we can still lend books between members, that might be an option -?

One of these days, I'm going to read a scholarly account of 'Israel' (the people, not the artificially created state by UK / others). And it won't be the Torah. The people had the high ground for what would've been forever, after WW2. And that's all gone, now -- oppressed has become oppressor...

Gunn (?) must've had *absolute* control of that project. Good for him. (on edit: would make sense if he did, since he came over from MCU to save DC's ass.)

Funny, but I never thought to look on reddit for this. Yet, there it Is. And just by the first post I see, you're right. A bit disappointing. The GOOD news is that that's not what I want for my / our little corner of the world (although I may explore, sonetime). I want people who can...

I know this is the 2nd time quoting this, today, but I hear it again... and I LIKE this. Guessing forum / threads can't be changed, once created, so you don't win, just yet, sir (and even if you did, it wouldn't be much, me being a pensioner, and all.... 😿 :cheers: But I like this enough to...

If you had their resources, would you leave ANYTHING to chance? Best to drown it while still in the washbasin, lest it get some sort of foothold. As the famous (?) quote goes, someone asked a bank robber why he robbed banks. "Because that's where the money is", was his reply. 2025 version...

And here I was, limiting to Cannabis. Rodney... I saw you mention other substances you've used (formerly). Going to give you a PM this weekend on this (not now). Thx. (on edit: 'clarity of thought' ? That's the LAST thing I want (for myself, anyway). I may have just found something I've...

U know what I'm thinking of now? The old reddit system where you'd bracket a number [0-1] being sober; [10] would be non compos mentis / have to be pulled from the couch. Was thinking of [>= 6]. Cause experienced people can basically write pretty close to their ability when sober. The...

I swear, I should start some polling to see some aggregate stats on the frequent posters / viewers of this forum (fuck, already -- 'thread') PS: This will be my last post for awhile today, as I'm obviously already in a 'good mood' (and a little piece of 'history'... that's what I had...

Hell, Kennedy cut it down from 90-93% down to the mid 60%s (-? from memory). And still that wasn't enough, for ser Ronnie. He and Tip enjoyed cigars after dinner / drinks, while figuring out that 38.5 for their folks (remembered right; see below), and +2yrs onto everyone's retirement would...

Ah, the weekend... (do I really *need* to say anything else, here? Get to speedy medicating! ) :leaf:

Bazinga: Please post links where applicable (this isn't a 'mod request', since I ain't one). But it's good to see where your sources are (and I will happily reciprocate, although it may slow down my responses.... LMAO)

I agree with this 110%. Stronger even. The 90% marginal rate went toward infrastructure, among other things. Things that helped the Commons. It wasn't like "take 90% of your profits to give them to individuals". We built it all up in the 50s - 60s (along with Europe, etc.) Europe got...

Oh, c'mon Florduh. Mamdani HAS to appear 'centrist' right now. That's where all the votes are. If he were to go "full social Dem", you'd have more than that one guy on the left side running for the exits. Would I embrace bigger change? Sure would. Maybe not *quite* as much as you, as...

(full disclosure: I'm about to talk about something here which could be very contentious. Reader discretion IS advised) :D (... and if ever there was a contentious sub-forum, this one qualifies! (yeah, I know, it's a 'thread'... sue me) :bang::hmm:;) So, today, I was finally able to get...
