Just kidding ;)
There is a me in team but it's got an a between it and reversed.
For sure Zor, I wasn't making the recommendation to the extreme - just don't recommend it in common usage. It can be playful like in the Big Lembowski or adolescent and rude the way I used it the other day with longrider. He may have spent some time on a Dude Ranch but likely the owner and between his long rides ;)..
.. Back then, a “dude” was an urbanite. It's what western cattle ranchers, a.k.a. cowboys, called big-shot city slickers. When city dwellers from the East Coast discovered that ranch visits in the wide open West made for great vacations, ranches started hosting them – and eventually charging them for their stays.
Just knowing this now makes it more inappropriate.
You make valid points but as far as the TOS reference I made it was for the other part of the post I replied to - nothing to do with Dude.
Very cool. Didn't know the two of them went back that far to 58' and
arizona thinks I'm eccentric ;),
Well, I'm lost in a whirlpool
Yeah, baby, my head is goin' round
Well, ever since my baby flushed me
Oh, been goin' round, yeah round and around
Well, I'm lost in this whirlpool
I keep goin' down and down
There's a big brown fish
Lookin' at me
He ain't got no eyes
How could that motherfucker possibly see
Ooh, baby baby
I'm gonna be afraid it'd gonna touch me
Well I'm lost in this whirlpool
Oh, I can't even see
Baby, won't you come help me
Pour some drainer down,
And get the plunger right after me
I'll let you know a little secret, baby
I'm gettin' tired of all this pee
Don't go stranded, mother goose
Ooh, my head's in a noose . . .
Who does the assigning?.. is it geolocation?.. is it like the iPub where people maintain a avatar for hiding personal info?.. TOS that provide for these things?..
Seems that people would quickly figure who and where everyone is by the nature of the sharing..
But yeah, the review process I'm sure is always in need of tweaking - I suggest build up a language model with criteria and see if what comes out is satisfactory.
Roos, that was fun.. did you ever find out where those boys were?..

C'mon Zor, I may have never seen that vid of Kammie if dberg didn't post it.
I was truly thankful.
It was enriching in several ways that I'd be happy to elaborate on.
On a personal note - yours;
You seem really "team" oriented and not a bad thing in itself but
For those of us who don't align it can be a bit of an irrelevant nuisance..
😇
.. don't say dude arizona, people don't like the sound of it or taste it leaves in one's mouth.
Omo does have some support with iPub TOS
Lol, not a bad idea dbergh Shorting Condom companies Going long Viagra companies..
I saw Janice's reply which takes care of some of the authoritative support and
I do know, monies for first time home owners, child support, $25k for what is $5k now = tax break/or cash for a new business, etc,.. are good investments and a drop in the bucket compared to corporate welfare.
Quebec had a similar thing and impressed the wife for her two kids when she reminisced the other day.. it was like 500 bucks for the first kid and go to 1000 for the second and I think it kept going. I think this was per month.. wowza. Gol darn govt run puppy mill is what it was.
That seems early but cool. Where my thoughts were going and hope this doesn't sound too conspiratorial;
- Trump has uncanny support and not just from people who feel left behind or cynical and take pleasure in radical drain the swamp rhetoric.
- Seems real real important to a lot of very wealthy people his party is elected.
- He looks more and more a liability.
- So, if it is too late for a change on the ballot in the usual way................... > literally fire his ass with a bullet.
Little to go on so far but seems an independent thinker,
moralistic, gets involved, wears his chips on his sleeves,

Excellent Omo, very cool, watched the Letterman interview twice - the more i know the more i know i don't know.. feels like dementia setting in;
Lydon told Pitchfork about the record: “There’s just so much on this: It’s a double album and by the time you finish it—if you can finish it—you can’t remember what you heard at the beginning. I liked that. It was anti-music in the most interesting and insane way, like kids learning to play violin—which I was going through at the time. So all the bum notes I was being told off for by the teachers were finally being released by well-known artists. That was my confirmation. From then on, there was room for everything.”
Beefheart wore his imperfections on his sleeve, and Lydon found solace in the fact that the American tore up the rulebook. It wasn’t just his music which was absurd; everything from his music videos to his bizarre appearance on David Letterman were frankly preposterous but also awe-inspiring.

For sure Zab, we is industrious critters like a bee hive. Although, there are examples like Saudi or Nordic that at least approach a less dog eat dog.....

He has stated many times the common folk being left behind and why the experts say Trump has so much support (still). A cynicism about both parties being in the pocket of Corporate Greed/Power (Modern Day Capitalism obviously). Rural Southern USA - Okay, where is B402 coming from?.
There is a lot of 'teaching' going on but of the propaganda/ideological kind. I'm shocked by the amount of money from CONservative PAC's, Musk, biased "news" outlets, etc,.. that push people's (base) emotional buttons .. to what end?; greed, what ever that word is for https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=right+wing+christianity+word "values", some kind of grievance, ? etc,.. .
There's a lot of highly educated people that seem satisfied with their calculus so don't know if schools/anti-intellectual bias says it.
That was a great interview, guess she is not in hiding like former UK ambassador suggested, thanks dber.. specific policies for middle class strugglers, unity for the American public not the division of trumpery, sane gun policy and she seems a sane regular.. not too many eccentricities like rape, porn stars, pathological lying or the worst - cheating at golf.
Kamala Harris has never broken 80 in a round of golf 😬⛳️

Former us ambassador from uk says kammie needs to do major pork in key states, come outta hiding and Starmer needs to meet trump
.. says Trump is now “a less formidable campaigner” than in 2016, “down on energy, more liable to become confused, with a mind cluttered with grievances. And he remains a policy-free zone.”
“But,” he adds, “he is still capable of connecting with the ‘left behind’ to a level few others can match, a talent which ensures a devoted and enduring support base in a country where one in three workers say they live paycheck to paycheck.”

Lol, freely admit to that!. I generally like people and try to see where they are coming from..
There must be a diagram out there somewhere where we can fill in the blanks for that composite sketch ;).
If it's ok, I'll leave that to the board and go watch a flick with da wife, thanks..
There is that to some degree and like any post of that nature I generally ignore it.
He did have some interesting links - not an unintelligent southern gentleman.
Nick Hanauer, Hitchens, Chris Hedges,.............
Zab, is it still possible for Trump to be replaced?. Seems to be an effective strategy.
Trump self destructing day after day, two months of the trump reality show, where America will keep sticking it to him, pass the popcorn, extra butter please.
Try to understand his points of view but the dems this dems that was tiresome and obvious. The corporate greed thing so obviously weighs heavier with the Repugs a bit disingenuous as well.
I hate it. Hard to understand. How many snow flakes before his boughs break?,

Too bad Trumpery is somehow immune to scandal.
Just raccoons and foxes, not sure what that has to do with income inequality pertaining to Nextdoor but overall sounds to me like a good site.
Better I'm sure with you as a moderator.
Thanks longrider, interesting topic for sure, I have no idea of course but passed yours by ChatGBT for your interest:
Your summary captures the essence of the distinction between executive actions and executive orders well, but there are a few clarifications and additions that might help:
Presidential Powers and Laws: It’s correct that the U.S. President cannot unilaterally pass laws. According to the Constitution, the President can propose legislation and has the power to veto bills passed by Congress, but only Congress has the authority to make laws. This reflects the system of checks and balances designed to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful.
Executive Orders: These are official directives issued by the President to manage the operations of the federal government. Executive orders are legally binding and have the force of law, provided they are based on authority granted by the Constitution or federal statutes. They are published in the Federal Register and can be challenged in court or overturned by subsequent Presidents or Congress.
Executive Actions: The term "executive action" is less formal and can refer to a range of activities including executive orders, presidential memoranda, and other directives. While executive actions may not always have the force of law, they can still influence policy and administrative practices. They often signal the President's priorities or outline specific administrative strategies.
Legal and Legislative Reversibility: Both executive orders and executive actions can be challenged in court if they are deemed unconstitutional or if they overstep legal authority. Additionally, Congress can pass new legislation that may alter or negate the effects of an executive order, and a subsequent President can reverse previous executive orders.
In summary, while the President has significant influence over policy through executive orders and actions, the power to create or alter laws lies with Congress. The President's role is primarily to enforce and execute the laws passed by Congress.

Hey Bull, never heard of Nextdoor. So my first article/opinion (Guardian) seems balanced but concludes there's a bit of a glitch with income inequality.
Ever get that sense as a mod?,
It has been claimed in America that Nextdoor is most active in neighbourhoods not badly afflicted by crime, but in which there is an exaggerated fear of it. The company maintains that the network is used across all communities. Whatever the truth, a healthy community steadfastness against crime is easily parlayed into hostility towards strangers, outsiders, minorities, the poor and the mentally ill.
In turn, that hostility can create a virtual gated community that, sooner or later, leads to the real thing. It’s a cycle that may prove profitable for the well-heeled and well-protected, and for those who service them, but it’s unlikely to make for a kinder world.

Lime, thought I read recently that there was only one (left).
to only one iHub ADMIN
Musk also replies with a cry-laughing emoji to a tweet criticizing the media from the early alt-right influencer Lauren Southern. A Canadian activist who has promoted the “great replacement” white nationalist conspiracy theory, Southern was a member of the “talent team” for Tenet Media until early September. A Department of Justice investigation unsealed around the same time as her exit accused Tenet Media of being a Russian-backed propaganda operation that used $10m in foreign money to bankroll rightwing media influencers. Southern and others on the talent team deny having any knowledge that the money was coming from Russia.
All of this is before 1pm, by which time Musk will have tweeted about 89 times.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2024/sep/14/elon-musk-tweets-trump-conspiracy
Musk revisits not only the same themes, but some of the exact same posts and news items that he tweeted about earlier. At 11.12pm he responds with another cry-laughing emoji to the same picture of negative headlines about his Trump interview that he sent a cry-laughing emoji about at 8.36am.
Before the day ends, X debuts a beta version of its new AI image generator. Almost immediately, people begin to discover that it will generate images of public figures or sexualized content, unlike other popular image generators. Musk begins using cry-laughing emojis to egg on supporters creating images using the tool – in one case an image with the prompt “make an image of a half cat half woman with boobs”.
A phone screen shows a Grok sign up page that prompts verified X users to 'participate in the early access program'
Musk’s ‘fun’ AI image chatbot serves up Nazi Mickey Mouse and Taylor Swift deepfakes
Over the next few days Grok will be used to generate a range of political content, sexualized depictions of celebrities and violent images. After rightwing influencer accounts use the tool to create images of Taylor Swift and her fans supporting Trump’s candidacy, Trump will cause a wave of controversy by posting the AI images on his Truth Social account. Swift will later cite the incident in an Instagram post throwing her support behind the Harris presidential campaign.
Musk’s last post before midnight is celebrating his new image generator, tweeting “Rate of progress of Grok is 🚀 🚀🚀”. He will continue to post into the night, sending almost 50 more tweets over the next three hours.
At 3.11am, Musk responds with heart-eyes emoji to an image of him and a shiba inu dog dressed as ancient Roman soldiers generated by Grok. The flurry of replies and posts then goes silent. At 8.01am, he starts posting again.
Pure hearted capitalism newmed. dog eat dog. no morals. if the zeitgeist is one of cynicsm, despair and mad max what's a little skimming of cream off the top of your buddies cafe labotte'.

12yr, wtf?; Why is there not a post gone viral on this forum outting this diabolical plan, these individuals - to capture the democratic process?.
This is a big problem people = are you on it?, election deniers in positions of control; a captured democracy.

This is crazy (I see the board briefly lighted on it but..) - Trump most definitely must be sleeping with Loomer,
Another outspoken Trump supporter, Marjorie Taylor Greene, took issue with Ms Loomer this week over her comments questioning Harris's race and a post in which she said the White House "will smell like curry" if Harris - who is partly of Indian descent - is elected.
Greene said Ms Loomer's comments were "appalling and extremely racist" and did "not represent who we are as Republicans or MAGA" - prompting a flurry of furious messages in her direction.

You just needed to read the next few lines to see I concur;
I think its more serious. Autocrats around the world getting organized as we saw success in the European and other recent elections
Unless, you refer to my "consensus in America" where you look like that your saying Americans generally support autocratic rule. Maybe, but it would be sad for a people living in a "free" country espousing individual rights to liberty of movement, assembly and thought. Last time I looked not too many political prisoners in jail.

My point really thru McCabe is I'm surprised how after so many years of cold war, building a nuclear and other war machine specifically for the next battle which was clearly to be with Russia the American public can change their shoe wear now to backless sandals.
On to more interesting things, I'm guessing the consensus in America is trump loves Putie only because he wants to build a golf course in Moscow

I do get impatient with the sniping here and usually ignore it. Rarely, I don't. Don't read troll posts usually as well to answer your query - rarely, I do and give a reply. (notice i always reply to you ;) [.. as far as Roos and Taylor, I genuinely wanted to trick him or her into seeing Americana movie and soften em up to her. Luv her. I thought americana might appeal to a conservative and Taylor is pretty wholesome and Motherhood and Apple Pie]
Again, I don't do pay walls, google sign ins or any other click encouraging some sort of membership, subscription or data mining. I know, it's hopeless but so are a lot of things.
So, miss a lot of whole articles from newspaper sources cuz they seem to be the most subscription happy.
I genuinely thought blackhawks 'could' have written part (but not all cuz I did see the link) of that well written bit, some twists and turns of phrase did look familiar to me that he is good at - remember i only read what was posted, no linky for me. If you took that more seriously into consideration your logic would be improved lol, but where you and longrider are quite correct i totally missed this part: (Philly Inquirer Editorial Board), so yes, longrider is correct mentioning my confusion to the board ;). Apologize.
I also was not that miffed by longriders bitchiness lol, hence my light reply and on to more interesting things.. but do regret "Dude" which I dislike and don't know why I chose it.
.. I see blackhawks also didn't click the link: Nope, copied it as I found it. Didn't click the link.
My solid state logic tells me no data mining harm was done in the making or reading of that post for at least two iPubbers.
Happens dude. I think blackhawks could have easily done that synopsis. Why bother you bother me ;)
Lol, don't answer that but check this outt:
Mentions of Putin noted by Kremlin
By Steve Rosenberg, Russia editor, Moscow
Kamala Harris told Donald Trump that President Putin is “a dictator who would eat you for lunch.”
The expression "to eat someone for lunch" (or breakfast, or any other meal) doesn’t exist in Russian. But one thing you will find in Moscow is the appetite for a US election result that benefits Russia.
The Kremlin will have noted (with pleasure) that in the debate Trump sidestepped the question about whether he wants Ukraine to win the war.
“I want the war to stop,” replied Trump.
By contrast, Harris spoke of Ukraine’s “righteous defence” and accused Vladimir Putin of having “his eyes on the rest of Europe”.
Later the Kremlin claimed to have been irked by all mentions of Putin in the debate.
“Putin’s name is used as one of the instruments for the internal battle in the US,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told me.
"We don’t like this and hope they will keep our president’s name out of this.”
Last week Putin claimed he was backing Harris in the election and praised her “infectious laugh.”
Later a Russian state TV anchor clarified that Putin had been “slightly ironic” in his comments.
The presenter was dismissive of Harris’ political skills and suggested she would be better off hosting a TV cooking show.
I wonder: would it feature “dictators” eating US presidential candidates “for lunch"…?
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9wj9qejrpwo
Yup, if you click on the link .. at least in my part of the world - no go a go go.. ;)
That was very good summary blackhawks, did you write any of that yourself? (pay wall). Basically an abuse of a platform - where people used to the platform give it/him credence they shouldn't. Cuz it's low brow stuff.
Roos, not really my musical tastes but I did really enjoy the movie. Check it out..
