Man, I miss when your ratio for inflammatory trolling was not so obvious and you kept it relegated to you own microcosm of interests. It's like you don't even try anymore.

You can wallow in ignorance for only so long.  Everything Tp4 has said about the democrats is directly echoed by Bernie Sanders , Orcasio Cortez. Capitalism is the problem.

These are direct quotes.. AOC: "capitalism is "not a redeemable system"


Don't know what it is you disagree with, you're a major loser in all of this like every one else.

The only person that agrees with you is Iri, who for years hang onto TP4's every word. It's so obvious, and yet he puts up this weird fascade that somehow he IGNORES TP4, he's like Tp4's #1 fan.

Everytime Tp4 makes a move, you see his account flair up.

My guess is that he was dead within hours of landing back in his own country ....

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write.

Almost as if he's a ****in' liar. Claims to have gotten every answer correct on a cognitive test where half of it doesn't have right or wrong answers. The one he 'got a perfect score' on is a test for dementia alzheimer's and cognitive issues, so anyone not scoring at or near perfect just shows signs of memory issues. We should be more concerned about a sitting president having his mental acuity questioned to the point they need to give him the MOCA at all.

There is 100% no way he is 224lbs. He is obviously near, or over, 300lbs easily.
I don't buy he is 6'3 either, his arrest sheet puts him at 5'10 so maybe he started using lifts in his shoes, which also would explain why he walks weird. Well, that and the **** in his diaper.

Yeah, there are tons of pics of him standing next to Prince William and Justin Trudeau who are actually 6'3 and he is very obviously 4-6" shorter. The weight claim is a straight up lie anyone can see, I don't even need to research that one.

It's about the same difference as on the picture I posted, and I don't know which one of them wears higher heels. Looks like it's Trudeau actually.

The people in the apartment above finally moved out, but now they are replacing the carpet and installing hardwood floors starting at 8AM sharp every day, and the 8 hours straight of heavy hammering and stomping right above my work area, and half-a-dozen workers blasting ****ty mariachi music and yelling/whistling to each other constantly is driving me insane  :mad: >:D

The kinda music is inconsequential, it coulda been something I enjoy. The fact it was blasting so loud I could hear it in my bedroom with the window shut, a noise machine cranked to max, and earplugs in @ 8AM in the ****ing morning ON TOP of the hammering stomping and yelling, that is the point. Ruined my entire day, I'm still in a foul mood 12 hours later.

Chocolate on sale.

Sigh....... Unfortunately it's all produced through child slavery. Sigh.................... Damn you moralP4, damn you.

In retrospect, well, if it wasn't produced by slavery, it could Never Go On Sale.

Sigh........... Tp4 will have to go without.


These slave farms supply up to 70% of all cocoa. All major chocolate / confectionary companies are involved.


""Journalists who went undercover as cocoa farmers documented traffickers in Ghana selling children to them for $34 a child.[14] These children were liberated, and social workers reunited them with their families.[14]

Once they have been taken to the cocoa farms, the children may not see their families for years, if ever.[14] If a child who has been trafficked wants to go home, they will likely not be allowed because the trafficker has sold them to work on the cocoa farms for a certain number of years.[14]

Most of the children laboring on cocoa farms are between the ages of 12 and 16, but reporters have found children as young as 5.[28, 29] In addition, 40% of these children are girls, and some end up working on the cocoa farms through adulthood.[29, 4]""



Boycott chocolate. It's just not right.

The older I get, the more I tend to agree with TP4 on this. When I was younger I was kind of OK with some of the singer/songwriters, but now I generally don't want to hear about it.

If they have more rare salad greens, it's a big money maker for farmers, because they're harder to grow.

These have to be fairly upscale in a wealthy area.   There are copy cats, that just have regular greens and not truly high end stuff.

This post will be used against me in court after I murder all the workers doing construction on the upstairs apartment for the past 3 weeks. Don't worry, I'll try not to make a huge mess.
But seriously, how ****ing long does it take to clean out and fix up an apartment? They've been at it 5 days a week for nearly a month now, you'd think they were building an entire new unit up there. Every goddamn day, from 8AM-4PM, it is driving me insane.

Oh they are hammering my ceiling until 6pm today, how fun

Out of curiosity, is this an "apartment building" with quite a few units, or a large house that has simply been divided up?

The old house scenario would make it much more plausible.

I think the problem is that I have been working a lot standing up, with no forearm support ... or with 2× screens + laptop on a MS-Windows system and the OS the apps I've used have required unnecessarily large mouse movements all the friggin time because the apps I've been required to use are crap in that they require lots of space and otherwise open windows on screens that I don't have connected. (and MS-Windows let them)

Otherwise, at home I move my mouse mostly with fingers and only small wrist movements, as if I had been using a right-handed trackball.

Another thing: I've been using YouTube GoogleBot Spoofer to watch Youtube ad-free. Last fall, they closed that loophole by disabling videos for the bot, but last night they opened it again .. Unfortunately only for a couple hours. I'd have to resort to watching every video in a fresh Incognito window again: that is still ad-free... until you open another link so it isn't fresh any more.

Hilariously, Youtube is completely ad-free in Russia past 2022.
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

This post will be used against me in court after I murder all the workers doing construction on the upstairs apartment for the past 3 weeks. Don't worry, I'll try not to make a huge mess.
But seriously, how ****ing long does it take to clean out and fix up an apartment? They've been at it 5 days a week for nearly a month now, you'd think they were building an entire new unit up there. Every goddamn day, from 8AM-4PM, it is driving me insane.

Oh they are hammering my ceiling until 6pm today, how fun

Maybe they're British workers :))
Polish boys would do it in a week max. :thumb:

The article is quite inaccurate.

In every case with cartels, you remove the dominant family, another will rise quickly to fill the vacuum. Our country has an insatiable demand for narcotics. It's built into our consumer culture. The precursors to heavier addiction, in the form of nicotine/caffeine/alcohol is still heavily advertised to youth and young adults.

So, it wouldn't matter that you chop a few heads off on stage. Without addressing the Core Behavioral failings of our consumerist economy, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

This is a show trial and public hanging that will amount to a short term feel good, while becoming thoroughly immaterial in the long term.

Chances are they won't even hang. They're just going to use this as an excuse to Enslave/Invade Mexico.

All too true. It has been proven over and over again that "supply side economics" is a red herring. If there is a demand, then a supply will materialize to satisfy it.

That is a fundamental rule of economics, and "the market" juggles the money part of the equation. Legalization is the logical solution, with the additional bonus that it brings money in rather than the opposite flow to enforcement.

Also, without the "forbidden fruit" aspect then usage might go down. But, of course, it is always the case that intoxicated drivers can be deadly behind the steering wheels of vehicles.

I've been massaging my elbow with anti-inflammatory gel for a few days now. Had some residue on my hand when I went to the bathroom and touched a sensitive area on my body that did not react well to the gel.

A cm² of the outermost layer of skin flayed off instantly, before I could rinse it off. Been hurting all day. (And that was just the start of a crappy day)

The solution is to eat m0ar brocolli + bright colored veggies. Natural anti-inflammation from the inside out.

Whoa! I listened to the Supreme Court proceedings this morning. I thought (as most people probably did) that it was going to be about "Birthright Citizenship" as established in the 14th Amendment.

Instead, it turned out to be about universal injunctions and how different they are from class actions. It was clear that almost all the justices consider Birthright Citizenship to be "settled law" and that was not even really the issue before them. And also that they were very comfortable with class actions but not with "universal" or "nationwide" injunctions.

Now we have to struggle with the possibility that if "universal injunctions" are swept out of the way, then we could have a situation where in any jurisdiction that chose to simply ignore the 14th Amendment could simply deny citizenship to a baby. Then the parents' only real recourse would be to sue the state for its baby's citizenship, which they would likely eventually win - after its journey through the courts. And that win would only apply to that individual case.

Yet more of the same - using the courts to to delay justice and drain the plaintiff of money.

It's the same as sticking all your pc components in a box, and now you need a bunch of fans to move air through it.

Th Palm Beach bomber left a manifesto. This is an excerpt:

“I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I’ve decided to bomb an IVF building, or clinic,” he said at the beginning of the recording. “Basically, it just comes down to I’m angry that I exist and that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.”

Describing himself as anti-life, he adds: “I’m very against [IVF], it’s extremely wrong. These are people who are having kids after they’ve sat there and thought about it. How much more stupid can it get?”



Personally, I have had long conversations with my kids about living and loving life, and we all agreed that "Life is Good" and that we are awed with gratitude for being able to experience it.

Fohat, has it been confirmed that this audio is actually him?

It could be just hijacking of headlines no?
