  • No your just a dope anyone probably states they are a christian will always choose that over facts and science. Even looks the part. I rather have a Satanist then a christian.

    No, you'RE just a dope. Anyone WHO states they are a Christian will ?probably? ?always? (it can't be both) choose that over facts and science. HE even looks the part. I WOULD rather have a Satanist thAn a Christian.

    If you are going to call someone a dope, then maybe don't have nine grammatical errors in a three sentence post.

  • That story gives a ton of information that isn't really interesting. It is a page and a half about what races were being voted on, but only a single paragraph about the controversy/turmoil. It doesn't go into any detail about what actually caused the turmoil.

    Have you seen his actual voting record or the organizations he has led? You are just out here spouting complete nonsense without knowing a thing about him. You make yourself sound incredibly stupid.

  • The average dog is responsible for a carbon footprint of 770kg of CO2 per year, which is 11,500kg for an average 15 year life span of a dog (many don't live that old, but it's a round number). https://www.zerosmart.co.uk/post/the-average-carbon-footprint-of-a-pet

  • Epstein claims cast shadow over legacy of Northern Ireland peacemakers Clinton and Mitchell

    Jump

  • Hell, for all we know, Bill might have used his ties with Epstein to "force" leaders to accept the Good Friday Accords. Or Epstein might have used his knowledge of Bill's proclivities to force Bill into a situation that helped one of his other powerful ties.

  • DHS suspends trusted-traveler programs TSA PreCheck and Global Entry as partial government shutdown drags on

    Jump

  • The process at the airport is theater for the most part. They routinely miss dangerous items. The process for TSA Pre is a background check that is probably only as rigorous as a police background check, but it at least screens out some criminals. Global Entry is more rigorous and looks a bit deeper, but it isn't as deep as a real security clearance.

    My only issue with relaxing the process at the airport for everyone is that everyone on planes these days is stressed and angry, at least in the US. I don't want it to be easier to bring a gun or knife onto a plane with people as angry and irritated as they are now. I'm not afraid of terrorists. I'm afraid of Florida Man with his MAGA hat getting into a fight with a person and stabbing them.

  • I don’t understand these numbers. 59 + 39 != 100. Did 2% vote for a 3rd party?

    Yes. I know a few conservative voters in my home state who hate Trump but refused to vote for either Clinton or Harris.

  • Good question.

    I'm no longer against it now that I understand it better, which is how most things work in the world. It's tough, because I struggle with wealthy people having access to opportunities that normal people don't have, even with stuff as small as fast passes at amusement parks. But TSA Pre is a security screening process ahead of time, so it's more like making a reservation at a restaurant instead of showing up and putting your name on the wait-list. It also isn't expensive or out of reach of anyone who can afford a plane ticket to fly just about anywhere.

  • "Then you probably have looked at the facts of the situation and came to a logical conclusion while also having empathy towards people who don't look like you."

    Nah, it probably says something offensive.

  • “certain people”

    You do realize TSA Pre isn't like a super expensive thing that only rich people have, right? I get it free with at least two credit cards and also get it free with my airline status. My airline status comes from flying for work so much. Either way, it's only $70 per year. We're not talking millionaire-level exclusivity here.

    give those people a small reminder of reality for the rest of us.

    Most of those "certain people" going through TSA Pre and Global Entry fly far more often than you. They are fully aware of the reality of flying and how much it sucks. Business travelers have gone through the shit you go through on your once a year vacation. Some of them have it paid for by their company as a perk. Some of them get it through airline status (which means they flew a lot before they got this perk). Some of them get it through a credit card perk (which will be used during business travel where the company will reimburse costs).

    All of them gave the government a bunch of sensitive personal information to get pre-screened before going to the airport so that they didn't have to stand in line with people who haven't been pre-screened.

    You have to deal with an hour of bad annoyance once or twice a year... and you are mad that people who have to fly 12 or more times per year are able to avoid some of that annoyance after being vetted through another annoying process?? How evil are you?

  • It's not just a "pay for less abusive treatment." In order to get approved for TSA Pre and Global Entry, you have to go through a screening process where you volunteer your personal and professional information. You have to actively give them MORE invasive information to avoid the more physical invasions at the airport. It isn't just like buying a Fast Pass at Disney. There is a second layer of security screening ahead of the line, so it makes sense that they can spend less time with you at the airport.

    As a frequent business traveler who has a security clearance (so they already know every tiny detail about me anyway), it was a no-brainer. I used to be against it, too... until I had to go through security at DEN.

  • Trump Says Obama Revealed Classified Info With Aliens Claim

  • There are a billion stars in our galaxy.

    There are between 100 billion and 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe.

    That's roughly 10^24 stars, each of which might have (at some point in time) contained life on one of their many planets. Even if our Earth is a one in a trillion statistical anomaly, that still leaves like a billion or so Earths that could have life. Whether they are intelligent and whether they achieved intelligence at the same time as us is a whole different story.

    Like you said: that doesn't mean they've visited us.

  • So either Trump is correct that Obama revealed classified information, which: Awesome! Aliens are real, man!

    Or Trump is a lying piece of shit who believes that revealing classified information is a crime, which: Awesome! Prosecute yourself, asshole!

    Also, this story shows he is either negligently stupid, intentionally covering up an accident that he thought might implicate him, or intentionally malicious. Some of the mistakes are pretty damning for someone who had made this climb 14 or 15 times. The timeline is suspicious, too. I have no idea if he did anything intentionally, but he certainly made many very bad mistakes that could together constitute criminal negligence in my head.
