Got a little bored so I decided to pop over to Alternative.

Well, look at you, rowdytiger13! You fled this chat to get away from the Russophiles, the Nazis, and Rukoslav, only to run straight to Alternative to hang out with the exact same crowd.

I am totally blindsided and honestly pretty offended! 🙂 🤣

It's not that I want to chat with them here, I'm going to Alternative to actually have some real debates. 🙂

Arthur Sanders74 said:Check out Zaga's rap! Anyone else getting a certain vibe from this? What does it remind you of? 🤣

And that was back in 1987. 🧐 Man, we used to be such absolute savages back in the day! 🤣

I've always thought Zaga was super sketchy. 🙂

Wait, what even is this now? Can you believe this? Cuba is actually going to let China build spy facilities right on their own soil. Just wild.

Hey Cuban, that's way too close to my house! 😁

You messed up big time. Now you’ve got Chinese spies peeking right into your smart fridge! 😲

bluecyclist64 said:Waters, a total Nazi.

Haha, calling Waters a Nazi... man, he actually teamed up with the rest of Pink Floyd back when they were obsessing over the Falkland Islands war. On their last album, Final Cut, he went straight after Thatcher, and those folks clearly weren't fans of his "politicizing" everything... let alone the whole Nazi thing!

If you aren't standing with the Ukrainians, you're basically a Nazi in their eyes—especially if you skipped the vaccine. And apparently, according to them, Trump is "literally Hitler." Honestly, they have no clue where that old Ukrainian greeting from that famous opera aria "Taras Bulba" even comes from.

Man, you definitely smelled the danger coming and bailed out of California just in time. 👍

The absolute worst part? I don't see any real political force, movement, or even a decent idea stepping up to slam their fist on the table and say "ENOUGH" to this madness. So, naturally, the craziness just keeps spiraling out of control.

I’m telling you, I’ve had this gut feeling for a while now that we're all collectively sinking deeper into some kind of fever dream. I first felt it back when Trump won those Republican primaries in 2016 and the whole witch hunt against him kicked off. You could practically see reality cracking right then and there, and that rift is just widening faster every single day.

Stuff like this is bound to end in total social collapse and chaos.

I’d bet anything that those local NGO Vaxxx puppets here in America will start chanting the same mantra in a couple of days, demanding we pass a similar law over here... an email with instructions and a little "donation" is probably already in the mail...

Honestly, for a while now, I’ve had this feeling that we’re living in some twisted parallel universe, like a room full of funhouse mirrors. You try to find the exit, but everything just gets weirder and more distorted.

When I first saw this news story, I honestly thought it was just some satire from the Babylon Bee. 🤷

It's not.

The California Senate just passed a bill that basically forbids retail workers from stopping shoplifters.

Bill to Stop Employees Confronting Shoplifters Passed by California Senate
BY CHLOE MAYER ON 6/5/23 AT 12:15 PM EDT

AT 12:15 PM EDT 00:19 Bill to stop Employees Confronting Shoplifters Passed by California senat Lawmakers in California

Lawmakers in California are hoping to push through controversial legislation that would ban retail staff from stopping thieves stealing from their stores.

Senate Bill 553, which was submitted by State Senator Dave Cortese, has been passed by the State Senate and will now progress to policy committees in the State Assembly. Cortese hopes the proposed law will prevent workplace violence and protect staff from being forced by their employers to step-in during robberies. But some store bosses are furious about the plans, with the California Retailers Association mocking the move as an open invitation for thieves "to come in and steal."

Then I started wondering—how much of an idiot do you have to be to pass a law like this? I mean, preventing theft is literally part of the job description for retail workers!

And seriously, what kind of people vote for representatives who pull stuff like this?

Then it hit me. Follow the money. This move is going to absolutely wreck physical retail, which has been struggling for ages anyway. And who wins? People still need to buy stuff somewhere, right? Well, the massive online giants like Amazon or Walmart...

It's pretty obvious where the wind is blowing. Bezos & Co obviously greased the palms of the California Senate, pushing this madness under the guise of "protecting employees."

I can already see the mass exodus coming out of California. Eventually, all you'll have left are gated communities for the super-rich and ghettos for the poor and illegal immigrants.

The Democrats have officially lost their minds.

I just stumbled upon this absolute train wreck of a video—just pure chaos, terrible skin, questionable diets, and a haircut from hell. Honestly, don't even bother watching it, let alone listening to it. 18+

For those of you with nerves of steel and way more guts than sense, here’s a quick breakdown of this horror story. Fair warning: some of you might not make it through:
- at 0:00, this nameless beast shows up and starts throwing hands, just trampling everything in sight.
- at 0:20, a bunch of local bottom-feeders decide to join in on the fun.
- at 1:05, the whole local crew starts brawling, things escalate fast, and man, it gets ugly—if you aren't used to this kind of mess.
- at 1:30, the nameless monster moves on, leaving the local crew standing there looking foolish, basically thinking, "Thanks for leaving, we'll find out who sent you."



Total nightmare fuel. Hard to listen to, and almost impossible to watch.

An extraterrestrial deep dive into the Eurovision Song Contest.

Summary:

So, here we have a textbook specimen of how Earthlings reproduce.

To kick things off, you've got two lonely little Earthlings just flailing around pointlessly near some water. It’s pretty obvious they’re looking for food, a mate, or maybe just some sunshine, methane, uranium, or whatever else passes for sustenance. Then, out of nowhere, this unbearable noise hits the 20kHz spectrum—we haven't quite figured out what's causing it yet, but it seems like the movement of these two specimens is cranking up the volume.

The mystery of the noise gets a bit clearer when a third specimen stumbles into frame. This one is twitching convulsively and making even more racket, decked out in what looks like packaging stripped off other local fauna—we aren't quite sure what those creatures are yet, but clearly, the first two are super interested because they start rushing toward the third one, twitching harder, probably hoping to snag some of that "packaging" for themselves.

Anyway, fueled by that stolen packaging, the noise, the sunlight, being near water, and a whole bunch of other hard-to-prove transuranic elements, all three specimens start twitching in sync in ways that are honestly unreal, especially since they're just bilinear. Plus, the noise becomes totally deafening; a few of our researchers actually had to take medical leave because of it.

We're gonna skip a huge chunk of this because, frankly, it’s way too obscene for public consumption, and honestly, nobody needs to see it. The research team is going to be carrying mental scars from this one for the rest of their lives.

In the end, it all wraps up with a blatant nuclear explosion, where two of the bilinear specimens are fighting with their front limbs and flashing feeding organs at each other before merging—which, apparently, is just standard Earth practice: devouring one another in the middle of a nuclear cataclysm.

End summary: science is science, man, but my brain and the brains of my colleagues are never gonna recover from this mess. 😢

Seriously, these kids have absolutely lost it.

Look, I know I’m gonna sound like a total clueless idiot who doesn't even know his way around an ASP or whatever...

But I gotta ask: who on earth is Roddy in that avatar?

Arthur Sanders74 said:Look, this isn't the place for Russia fans, right-wingers, or whatever else. 🙂

Why not? That's straight-up discrimination right there! 🙂

Man, I really wanted to hit you with something juicy—something spicy, tied into everything you care about, maybe even throw in some stuff to broaden your horizons—but nah, I'm not gonna bother. Now you can just sit there and stress out trying to figure out what my deal was.

Feel free to reply twice, don't be shy.

How much of an idiot do you have to be to see that concert outfit and think "Nazi"? Seriously? They've been wearing that at shows for almost 40 years!

People with zero attention span and even worse memories. And don't even get me started on their hearing.

So, I’m hearing rumors that some people are out here actually trying to build nests for swallows.

bluecyclist64 said:And just like that, it's down to us four—The Three Musketeers plus one guy...🤣

So, who’s actually who here? 🤔

For a split second there, I totally thought the hockey team from Florida was called the Miami Heat.🤣

Honestly, I’d call them that myself! 😬

Anyway, these folks you follow in New York are getting weirder by the minute. They basically invented a version of Reaganomics: just feed the horses and the sparrows will find scraps to eat. (For anyone wondering what sparrows actually eat once the horses are full... you know.)

Mayor Adams Wants to Pay New Yorkers to Host Migrants in Their Homes

Driven to increasingly desperate measures by an Endless flood of foreign migrants, Mayor of New York City Eric Adams on Monday proposed that The City pay individual New Yorkers to host The foreigners in their homes.

At the same press conference, Adams announced New York City will begin paying up to 50 houses of worship about $125 a night to host up to 19 single men on their properties. That's a relative steal for the city, which has been paying hotels $380, according to the New York Post. Adams didn't propose a dollar figure for families and individuals.

Adams framed both ideas as ways to prevent money fra ending up in corporate coffers:

"We can take that $4.2 billion, or $4.3 billion maybe now, that we potentially have to spend, and we can put it back in the pockets of everyday New Yorkers, everyday houses of worship instead of putting it in the pockets of corporations, and some of those corporations come from outside of our city."

The City now Has more Than 45,000 Illegal immigrants living in taxpayer-funded Hotels and shelters. A month ago, the city was paying $8 million a day to house migrants -- and that's when there were "only" 37,500 of them.

Expanding on The idea of converting migrant-shelter funds into local economic stimulus, Adams said, “There are [New York City] residents who are suffering right now because of economic challenges. They have spare rooms. They have locales,” said Adams at a press conference. “We should be recycling our own dollars. We should take this crisis and go to opportunities. That is how we can deal with this.”

Every single "whoop" gets met with fifty "yeah!"s. It's all just circular economy vibes—recycling dollars. So eco-friendly, right?

==============

These people have completely lost touch with reality. This is exactly what happens when you spend decades printing money without any actual work or real stuff being produced to back it up (older folks might call it "all hat and no cattle").

Jack Cook7 said:All of that, obviously, assuming we don't hit another global "pandemic" or some massive nuclear disaster even worse than Chernobyl. Take the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, which is basically the biggest one in Europe and sitting right on the front lines—it looks like a prime candidate for a meltdown ten times bigger than Chernobyl. (Blame the Russians for that one). Such a disaster would totally paralyze all of Europe, Russia, and Turkey. It’d be the perfect excuse to grab imperial powers, herd the European Union sheep around a "strong leader" using that old "we're under threat, we're so threatened" vibe from the 1920s—which we've definitely seen before—and kick off wars against Russia, Iran, China, and basically the whole world.

In that scenario, Canada and America wouldn't matter at all, except maybe as a source for cheap cannon fodder, just like the last 500 years.

Look, check out what someone posted back on May 31st. As of tonight, June 6th, "someone" (shocker, the Russians) mined the dam near Nova Kakhovka, which means the Zaporizhzhia plant has to shut down because they're running out of cooling water.

We're just one step away from a reactor detonation, and then comes the "public outcry" demanding we send nuclear weapons to the Ukrainians.

I mean, who could have possibly seen that coming?

Arthur Sanders74 said:It’s not even about China. Seriously, I think you're missing the point here. I'll write more once I'm back from Chicago. But that's only after I hit the Caribbean. Gotta go gather up all that Intel first! 😛

Honestly, I don't give a damn about all that internal Chinese drama, especially the monetary stuff—it’s just too much noise for me. I mostly only care when it starts spilling over into global politics, so clearly I've been totally out of the loop lately... anyway, someone please just lay it out for me! What's actually going on? Spare me the digging and just give me the highlights.

Don't even get me started on that massive endorsement from the buddy of those California private prison execs. Seriously! 😉 So, since she’s definitely not getting cleared to run in that race over there...

Haha, hey! You talking about kamilica Horroris again? 😂 😬

Wait, didn't they ban private prisons in California? I thought there was only like one left standing!

Arthur Sanders74 said:Give me a break with this dollar crunch nonsense.

The Chinese man got absolutely wrecked.

It feels like every two years, the Western media starts screaming that China is right on the edge of total collapse. Honestly, nothing has changed. Every few weeks, some big player switches over to the yuan or starts using local currencies. People were saying it would be Thailand next—even the head of the Federal Reserve of Thailand went to visit China right after the elections—but that’s a dead end. They had an election coup and brought in American types—basically just billionaires. (We're talking the daughter of that Thaksin Shinawatra guy, the former PM who fled because of corruption, plus some other billionaire who got banned from running due to corruption scandals)

Also, Trump's grassroots donations are going through the roof. DeSantis is struggling hard. The mega-donors are just cutting him off.

I'm just sitting here waiting for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to drop an endorsement for Ron DeSantis, right after George and Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, and the rest of that crew. All we need now is a little Bernie Sanders commercial to wrap it all up.

Arthur Sanders74 said:Let's just keep it to us four Aces. You, Judo, Larry Walker24, and me. 🎉

Anyway, back to those big-picture questions about humanity that have been hitting us right in the face lately:

What’s your take on all this new crap involving China?

Which part specifically? There's always some kind of nonsense going on over there.

Arthur Sanders74 said:Did Guns invite you to the latest chat room? 😉

🤣

She’s really out here trying to tell everyone what they can and can't do!

🤣

Oh, I see how it is. Two chat rooms just aren't enough, we need a third one now. I guess it's all part of that massive push for "diversity" and especially inclusivity—there's just never enough of that, right? 😁

Any resemblance to actual events is purely coincidental. 😁

Arthur Sanders74 said:So, 83-year-old Al Pacino is expecting a baby with his 29-year-old wife. Respect. Man can probably smell a woman from a mile away even if he’s blind! 🙂

Unless, of course, the young lady traded him her soul for some kidney money... 😉

Edit: Turns out Pacino actually asked for a DNA test. 😁

My bet? The young lady plays that classic Naguzin track for him every single day: "ne zaboraviti ja meee meee Mea!"

Arthur Sanders74 said:The USA wants to have a dialogue with Russia and China on nuclear arms without preconditions.

What are the actual odds of that working in this day and age?

Hehe, like the USA thinks they can just sign some treaties and call it a day, hehe. Go ahead and sign yours, we'll just sit here and wait, hehe.

Kind of like that whole UNCLOS maritime law thing, right? hehe

And now we're back to that song: "Ne zaboravi meee meee meme memmeme"

What’s the worst part? I’m out here trying to explain how we can turn this rigged "game" where everyone just loses into an actual fair fight—one where we might actually win a round because the rules aren't stacked in favor of the house.

Maybe I’m just being thick or my sense of humor is totally broken. 🤷
Where Left hand?

But nope, everything is getting taken the wrong way. People just don't get it. Though, hey, maybe that's a good thing? As long as they aren't misunderstanding the *right* stuff, there's still hope.

PS: Speaking of having a terrible sense of humor, check this out from another thread:

PPS: bluecyclist64 is doing what they do best—hating on lizards.

Arthur Sanders74 said:Zeihan thinks the Dollar is staying on top as the reserve currency for years to come. You think he’s full of it?

Juan/Reminbi gets zero points—nobody actually believes anything about KPC being outside of China when like 99% of their currency stays locked inside China.
The Yen? Zero points. No real power there.
The Euro? Also zero points. It’s fine if you just want a regional currency, I guess.
Me? I’ll throw in Bitcoin and the Ruble. Both get zero points from me too.

So, let me give you my "off the record" take, far away from all those official talking heads.

RUN.
