Are you ever going to tell me what on Earth a “Cheney Dem” is and why you assume I’m even in that political party?

I have no idea what “Polymarket” is and I’m not any sort of Democrat.

I’m pretty sure being understood is, in fact, the responsibility of the person making a comment.

I’d rather live where it doesn’t take an ambulance or a fire truck two hours to get to me, but you do you.

Good. Now translate that into Inupiaq.

Fair enough. I’ll delete. Although the pornography thing is not really important IMO.

Read up on Inuit culture because you’re definitely going to want to tailor your material.

Watch out for polar bears.

They don’t have to know what’s on the sign to hold the sign.

I’m cool with the whole furry thing, my friend. Good luck to you!

Let me guess, it’s the sunspot cycle. That’s what folks like you used to claim before we went through a couple of those and things kept getting worse.

How about Chuck Tingle?

Ah, I see, out of the kindness of their heart, Starlink is having an unprecedented one-month-free sale for new customers surviving a hurricane, something many, many, many companies do all the time when there isn’t a hurricane, but they don’t usually do.

And I’m angry that is being hailed as some sort of helpful or even heroic gesture on their part rather than, you know, a limited-time sale.

That’s marketing being reported as fact. They’re having a sale, that’s all that’s happening. Stop suggesting there’s anything more to it than that just because they want you to think it.

I have a weather radio. Every time I turn it on during an intense storm, it gives me very little useful information. It tells me something like “a tornado has been sited in your area [without defining what that means], seek shelter immediately.” After the last massive storm ended where so many fallen trees destroyed homes, took out power lines, made roads impassable, etc. and the cell network was getting jammed by so many users, do you know what information the two local TV stations and the local radio stations were offering?

Fuck. All.

But hey, one of the two TV stations did relay the fact that the state had made a disaster declaration half a day after the declaration was made.

Those services exist, but they’re almost useless.

Even AccuWeather is saying they’re going too far now.

They realize they need that government data too.

The NOAA has no future if Trump gets elected.

So… a “special offer to new customers?”

Again, a very common thing that businesses do all the time regardless of a hurricane.

Nah, just his organization. He already had what he claimed was his personal Vietnam. It was surviving the 1970s without an STD.

Seems to me that it’s just part of the proxy war that the world powers have been fighting pretty much constantly in an Oceania/Eurasia/Eastasia kind of way since 1945.
