“I will accept no contrary advice from my councilors, nor advisors, nor my people!” said no non-megalomaniac ever.

With fees that high, what was your typical profit margin per sale? How were you able to source product at such a high discount?

I’m not familiar with this. Can you give a “for example?”

And this time IDF didn’t shoot them!

Times change a few years later, but I wouldn’t bank on that non-escalation theory here.

I thought the exact same thing! At the time, I’d heard rumors that the entirety of USSR’s air defense was smoke and mirrors. This isn’t helping to refute those decades old rumors, if there is anything to refute.

I nearly missed seeing the guy standing on the wing. That is a large sculpture.

Same. Upvote if I think it’s important for others to see.

Short and medium term, I doubt there will be any issues there.

It isn’t so much the volume of typing, it’s the typing a thought-out answer to all those various articles and responses that seems curious. I type at a pretty fast rate, myself, but I don’t consider someone else’s comments and think up (and then type) fact based replies in that timeframe. My comment about typing speed was more me implying that a 3-day-old account that is responding that quickly to that many people on so many subjects in such a short amount of time – well, it walks and quacks like a bot.

Hmmm, how on earth is it possible for you to have replied to 26 different posts in the last 60 minutes, across multiple articles, many with multiple paragraphs. Fastest typer in the world?

That’s a great solution to win an election if it were easy to find a golden candidate that people like and can’t be portrayed as less than ideal by the other side. Right now, I’ll happily settle and vote for less than perfect if that candidate is the only one not courting fascism. And I certainly won’t go throwing my vote to someone else just because the only guy standing between democracy and tyranny isn’t checking all my boxes. No, sir. Democracy is too important to throw away just because “I don’t love one candidate and actively fear the other, so I just won’t bother.” Democracy is my single-issue this election. Get out and vote, because this time, democracy is cracking, and it is at risk of collapse to fascism.

Sorry, I don’t understand?

And just before posting this message, I got it. Nice one! I wish I could take credit for that.

I was beginning to wonder if the bot purging got a little too ambitious. Also, requisite “I am not a bot” statement. Beep. Boop.

The shadows are fantastic. I hope your coworker has a copy of this hanging in his home.
