The best thing I can say about Kissinger is that he's dead.

I get where you're coming from but I still disagree with your position. An internet conversation is not the same as a meeting in real life. I like most people here because I don't have to see them or have to be around them.

I see it as a way to exchange information and opinions and as a way to escape from reality. Sometimes that goes off the rails and devolves into shitposting. Social media is a misnomer, it should be parasocial media.

OTOH, I don't have a twitter account (nor Insta, nor FB, nor TikTok, nor whatever-new-hip-platform), so maybe I'm just fucking antisocial and wished I weren't.

You can live in Cheddar. Nice town, good hiking opportunities.

And of course the megalomaniacs don't target each other, but focus on killing citizens. Who would have thought? Oh yeah, that's right, everyone.

Israel has no clue where Khamenei is, so they target civilians. Iran has no clue where Netanyahu is, so they target civilians. Every conflict ever.

Russia during official events and gatherings, Israel the rest of the time.

Good thing I have a bike. My car broke down like 4 years ago, been biking since. People scare me, so I don't have places to be.

This is what a software developer would call a con-action error.

Israel is just a US proxy state to incite wars in the Middle East. Same old, same old.

Slightly more believable than "the best in the world".

So that Hollywood trope of using a gasoline trail as a make-shift fuse and lighting it by dropping a cigarette on it is a construct of fiction?

Edit: Damn, you're right

I assume they meant the vapors from the gasoline, not from the cigarette.

The workers at my local gas station go outside of the shop to smoke. I once asked them if that wasn't dangerous and they said they have a ventilation system that pushes the vapors out the other way and that it's fine to smoke here (it's still disallowed as per house rules but they don't really care)
