Preemptively banning regulation that does not yet exist should not be allowed, in any industry.

The porn, probably.

My high school paid for everyone to take some type of career aptitude test. Everyone got a list of various possible career choices. Burned in my memory now is that I scored “region 99” which apparently meant my personality type didn’t fit any jobs. Or something. Like their magic 8 ball told me to try again.

“I’m driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, ‘George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan.’ And I did, and then God would tell me, ‘George go and end the tyranny in Iraq,’ and I did.”

I’ve had this experience and morning was like, “I’m gonna plan the trip of a lifetime to London and Paris and maybe Rome for a month or more.”

Then in the evening I’m like, “well Vegas is a cheap flight, so if I spend a night in Vegas maybe I can go to Denver too?”

You never really know, it’s plausible. But I doubt it. It doesn’t seem any more likely now than it did in 2016.

Ceasefire in Gaza for a minimum of 6 weeks (if I understood the news correctly) is huge. That conflict might be close to over if we’re lucky.

Remember during “the Mueller report” news cycle that one of the late night hosts did a segment on how no one has a clip of Mueller talking. For like a year we had nothing but photographs.

Wilhelm scream. It’s in everything. It’s memorable in Star Wars and Indiana Jones, but it’s in Soul Plane too.

I’ve watched far too many hours of sitcoms, because I’m recognizing a specific laugh that gets re-used over and over. It’s by far the worst on How I Met Your Mother (where I first noticed it). They’ll repeat the same laugh 2-3 times within the same episode. It’s a specific high-pitched laugh that almost sounds like the person is inhaling while laughing rather than exhaling. HIMYM doesn’t use a live audience so they re-use the same laughs for the entire run of the show.

As a depressed 16 year old boy I received a self help book from my mother. I was offended. Never opened the book. Like in hindsight I guess she thought I needed help and the book would somehow do that, but all I saw was that my mother thought something was wrong with me.

What if she voted for Jimmy Carter?

Lack of successful alternatives? It’s easy to find flaws with capitalism but every other system has its share of problems too.

The Drew Carrey Show just finally got a streaming release a couple months ago. On Plex. All 9 seasons now.

We don’t have enough children, our birth rate is too low. Yet allowing young immigrants to come in? Terrible idea for some reason.

Prior to Trump it was mostly fringe candidates like Storm Thurmund (1948), George Wallace (1968), David Duke (1988, 1992), Pat Buchanan (1992, 1996).

In terms of major candidates, there are some questionable endorsements for candidates like Nixon and Reagan. But you have to go all the way back to Woodrow Wilson to find a president who was openly happy about receiving those endorsements.

Those work with the Sabre Pyramid.
