How can things not get worse when you have a clown like Newt Gingrich running the show? Honestly—when you actually see him or hear him speak—you have to wonder how a person like that is even allowed to lead one of the two major parties in America.
I would give anything just to sit down and watch a debate between him and Joe Biden—honestly, I’m practically begging for it. $6.75 If necessary—Newt Gingrich would be carried out of the studio on a stretcher just so this guy could dominate him—regardless of how much I despise that arrogant Zoran.

They are guaranteed to lose this election by a landslide, so whether he actually disappears from the political stage remains to be seen. If he can just endure these next few months, it’ll all be over. It is worth remembering that he had the Republican Party completely at his mercy following all those corruption scandals, yet in every single election up to this point, he was overshadowed by people like Vaso, who was busy faking his credentials, or Newt Gingrich, who spent ten years studying history. It really isn't right.

One should also consider that Newt Gingrich isn't exactly a beloved figure, even if you were to judge solely on physical presence. It isn't as if he possessed some sort of ultra-charismatic aura that worked in his favor.

And honestly, wouldn't it be better if we had some sort of national unity government instead?

bluebison47 said:Is it even better than a black market deal? 🤦

It’s incomparable, though I suspect this was really meant as bait for one specific person on this forum. I’ve had my fill of trolling for today, but isn't the reality simply that we are stuck with the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, while everything else exists merely at the level of some local community hospital board? The Democrats are a complete disaster, and honestly, Joe Biden is among the worst politicians we've seen lately; we'll soon see what kind of shape Newt Gingrich will be in once he takes office, since there's practically no chance the Republicans won't sweep in. Will things improve significantly? Not really. Personally, I am perfectly fine whether the Democrats or the Republicans are in charge, so I don't lose much sleep over it. I suppose I wouldn't even mind casting a vote for the Democrats if it meant seeing that one generic politician—who, while a bit of a lukewarm leader, still seems more intelligent to me. As it stands, the current choice is the absolute worst possible, so I might just throw my vote toward Alex Jones (I'm being serious). Everything will eventually follow its predictable course, won't it? First, the Democrats hold sway, then the Republicans move in to serve a couple of terms, then it flips back to the Democrats, and then back to the Republicans again. They will just keep pointing fingers at one another in an endless, repetitive cycle.

Rachel Cooper3 said:There are people who haven't stolen a dime, so... wouldn't it be better to choose someone like that?

Or are we really so pathetic that we have to vote based on who stole less? Dammit.

Any rational person would cast their vote for Donald Trump. Joe Biden represents a far greater evil—and I don't necessarily mean the Democratic Party as a whole, since the Democratic Party with Jim Cramer could actually be quite decent, but this specific version of the Democratic Party led by Zoran is arguably the greatest catastrophe possible. There simply isn't any real competition.

One might even go so far as to say that voting for this particular wing of the Democratic Party is nothing short of intellectual suicide.

Lavezzi, Ezekiel Lavezzi. He was quick, incredibly direct, and played as a standout right winger.

Michelle Palmer6 Asks:
Zlatan Ibrahimović doesn't choke under pressure, does he? Instead, it’s Alen who keeps showing us how it's done. It appears that maminho has taken on the role of moderator.

So, you're already starting to drift into talk about some sort of perfect utopia...

What on earth is going on here? I just saw on Index.hr that they've taken over Times Square. 🤣

What a whirlwind of days we've been having over on Reddit, and what a wild variety of topics have surfaced lately. 🙏 Between discussing Jozo Šimunović, extraterrestrials, the mysteries of deep space, certain movies, Tomislav Karamarko, and even Ivan Sinčić, there is truly never a dull moment, is there? 🙏

@Peter Thompson4

Why would you take that as an insult? I actually agree with your perspective and what brightpilot6 mentioned; I was simply curious if you had any additional arguments to support your stance. It’s true that Hawking’s insights are fascinating, which is precisely why I brought up his thoughts on extraterrestrial life—I wanted to see what everyone thought about the potential nature of such beings.

Speaking of which, have you seen In the Universe with Stephen Hawking (Secrets of the Universe)? It covers Aliens, Time Travel, and The Story of Everything.

And in another one, everything just falls apart completely. ☕

Peter Thompson4 said:The short version: It's because we aren't some divine masterpiece or some special little creation, so we aren't "special" in that sense, and while I can't prove it yet, obviously all the math points that way.

The long version:

Trying to count the stars in the universe is basically like attempting to count every single grain of sand on a California beach—it's just impossible. Even though experts can't agree on the exact numbers, the general consensus is that there are at least between 100 billion and 200 billion galaxies in our universe. Just wrap your head around that for a second, and then realize there are billions of stars inside every single one of those galaxies! (source) For all we know, that number could easily be in the trillions.

Look at the Milky Way, for instance; it stretches about 120,000 light-years across (meaning it would take light that many years to cross it) and packs in up to 400 billion stars. Again, we're talking about billions upon billions of galaxies, each stuffed with billions of stars. (source)

Astronomers estimate there are at least 10 billion Earth-sized planets that could potentially support life within the Milky Way alone (and that's just one galaxy out of billions), but you really have to keep an open mind about the kinds of environments or conditions some unknown alien life forms might actually thrive in. They definitely wouldn't all need to be exactly like Earth.

When you consider how massive the universe—or the multiverse, if you prefer that term—really is, the odds are stacked heavily against us being alone.

What does any of that have to do with God? As a believer myself, I don't necessarily view us as some uniquely privileged species. If we're being honest and look at the Bible, wouldn't you say it actually suggests the opposite—take Ezekiel’s visions, for instance, which many interpret as descriptions of extraterrestrial encounters? No one is really claiming we are a singular, special case.

I only asked because I find it a bit exhausting when everyone falls back on that same old cliché—the idea that because the universe is so unimaginably vast, there simply must be someone else out there. While there is certainly logic to that thought, I was merely curious if you had anything more substantial to add to the conversation.

Personally, I find myself much more preoccupied with the nature of these visitors: would they be peaceful neighbors or something more predatory, how advanced might their technology truly be, and is there a chance they might attempt to subjugate us?

Peter Thompson4 said:Man, you are such a clown. Did I ever actually say those two had to be involved? Did I once mention anything about aliens intervening in the whole situation?
But no, you’re just one of those obnoxious "know-it-all" types who clearly doesn't have a clue what they're even reading here.👍

And honestly, if you truly believe we’re just floating around this massive universe all by ourselves, 🙏 🙏

Why would you assume we are? Just so we can get on the same page, I personally lean toward the idea that we aren't alone, but I find myself wondering if your reasoning will simply be "the universe is too massive for us to be the only ones," or if you have a more nuanced perspective in mind.☕

Look, I’m not trying to give you a free education here. It’s really up to you whether you think relying on someone like Erich von Däniken is actually a smart way to get your facts straight.

The absolute gold standard for hairstyles. ☕

Why don't we put together a list of films that might be worth a watch? I won't go out of my way to suggest any absolute "must-sees," just to keep this discussion from spiraling too far into heavy debates.

Matthew Anderson4 said:So, some movies I still haven't gotten around to: Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Goodfellas, Scarface, Predator...

There's no need to get worked up on my account, as I've actually only seen Scarface from that entire list. ☕

To be honest, I’ve gone my entire life without ever having tried a kebab. I haven't even touched calamari. And if you're wondering whether it's something you absolutely have to eat to live? Well, you certainly don't. ☕

We’re looking at a fairly straightforward riddle here, one that isn't some sort of psychological trap, but rather a question that most captured serial killers would actually answer correctly if they were asked

A woman attended her mother's funeral and spotted a man in the crowd she had never laid eyes on before. He struck her as the absolute perfect partner, and she found herself falling for him instantly, right then and there. However, she had no way of contacting him and no clue how to track down his phone number. A few days later, she ended up murdering her own sister.

The question is: What was her motive for killing her sister?

The answer (spoiler)

She was hoping the man would show up at the next funeral.

If you're looking for some documentaries, I’d suggest checking out Citizenfour and Art and Craft.

Citizenfour

A documentary following a filmmaker and a journalist as they head to Hong Kong for their initial encounters with Edward Snowden.

Art and Craft

The story of what happens when one of the most successful art counterfeiters in American history is finally caught, forcing him to face the consequences of a thirty-year deception.

You might find this piece in the New York Times quite compelling; it really is an excellent read.

Is it really possible to underestimate how much fun a movie like You Don't Mess with the Zohan can be?
