Any cognitive tests that would dare have a "pass" would invite the sort of scrutiny that I'm sure the current regime wants to avoid... likely why this issue wasn't pressed as it was with Trump.

Biden supposedly was going to take one, but I never heard the results.

I didn't see that one, but already knew before he ran for president that he wasn't playing with a full deck.

The same media that makes excuses for Trudope and running away from the Convoy. All he had to do was talk to ONE of them, even if he was bullshitting, but instead he magically caught Covid and vanished. To the states I think?

I'm also waiting for pictures or any proof of the "hateful Nazi" messaging from that Convoy. The media make a big stink about it. Never once shown any pictures. NOTHING.

"Charles Brubaker is the astronaut leading NASA's first manned mission to
Mars. Seconds before the launch, the entire team is pulled from the capsule and the rocket leaves earth unmanned much to Brubaker's anger. The head of
the programme explains that the life support system was faulty and that NASA can't afford the publicity of a scratched mission. The plan is to fake the Mars landing and keep the astronauts at a remote base until the mission is over, but then investigative journalist Robert Caulfield starts to suspect something."

"Capricorn One" was released in 1976 at 2 hours 3 minutes long. Stars
Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vaccaro, Sam Waterston, O.J. Simpson,
Telly Savalas, and Hal Holbrook (some good 70s star power there).

The above from: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077294

This movie was popular amongst the conspiracy theory set that man never
reached the moon and Flat Earthers too. It's actually a good movie if you practice hard "suspension of disbelief".

The tie-in here is Robert Caulfield (Elliot Gould) discovers that NASA built
a set to fake the Mars landing...much like Biden and his fake White House
set.

The best way to vote is with federally recognized ID. Anything short of that is open season for fraud. There are loads of cases of it - mainly in the liberal cities. No one is these same cities will be investigating anything, because they live and support corruption.

A lot of that with younger people (say under 35) is because the public indoctrination system didn't teach them logic or critical thinking but

With a LOT of emphasis on "emotion". Its all about your feelings, his
feelings, her feelings. Thats where a lot of this gender identity nonsense comes from as well. And the race-card.

I see this at my kid's school, I see it in the schoolwork she gets assigned.

Her school was on the local news because someone spraypainted racist graffiti in the bathrooms. I said to her these things happen. I get a blank stare from her. "Yeah but its racist".

I said racist graffiti is not racist. The person who did the spraypainting is likely not racist, but ignorant and antagonistic - spraypainting something racist to get a reaction from people.

I said the REAL racists are the "anti-racist counsel" now formed at your school or the invitation for students to form an "open dialog about race" because the focus of this is to paint minorities or "people of colour" as citizens unable or incapable of handling feelings. They MUST have groups consisting mostly of white kids to tell them how to feel. Which validates both the victim-mentality culture of millenials and the White-man-bad stereotype.

Speaking of colours, I asked her how the millenial phrase "people of colour" is any less racist than the phrase "coloured". Or better, how is "Negro" racist. Negro I believe is Spanish? It used to be a proud term of endearment
in black literature or storytelling... To Kill a Mockingbird is now banned
at her school. MLK and Malcolm X speeches also refer to Negros in a positive light. I hear that "African Americans" prefer to be called Black, as not all black people come from Africa. Anyhow we're back to People of Colour... POC.

But books suggested for reading nowadays are about a black character who endures an incident of racial profiling or harassment by the police. Nothing
is written about the facts that led up to this, just about the authors longwinded view that the police are out "to get him" and how the incident
made him "feel". My daughter had to write a report on this to earn a grade.

When I explained to her the logic that if one wants to avoid the police, one should perhaps not commit crimes / not associate with criminals / not give the police attitude / take the name and badge # of the officer to file a complaint in our legal system instead of mindlessly rioting... I get a blank stare.

"I can't tell them that dad, its just going to cause a huge arguement".

I asked what was wrong with that? Nothing wrong with a passionate exchange of ideas. "I don't want to be called a racist".

I then realised that, at 15, popularity and reputation is everything and she doesn't want to be "that girl" who thinks or acts different.

Unfortunately thats how it is up here...

No, Dale. Is Thom also from Maryland?

Yes and Dale is very, very liberal. He's a former CIA spook too. He is a long-time participant in COOKING and we are on talking terms but his
politics are far-left.

I did not know of his past career. He is left but, out of all the
left-leaning folks in that echo, he is about the only one that talks sense
on a regular basis. Like, I may disagree but he at least can explain his
point without (as often) talking down to people.

It isn't just up where you are. We are battling the same insanity here. It is understandable to go along and play the game. Hell, I do this just about everyday of my life at work.

I was having a conversation with my brother this weekend about a major different between today's youth and back when we were in school. Here is a real example.

The mandatory mask wearing at school that was going on for months around here until recently. We just wouldn't have worn them if we didn't want to - period. End of story. If they kicked us out of the school, fine. There is no way in hell I would have been wearing a mask in school back then.

The school called us once a month ago about my son not wearing a mask outside at gym. I told them I agree with him, and I wouldn't be wearing it either. Screw their rediculous rules.

I'm sure there will be people wearing masks 10+ years from now, but at least I will be able to easility identify the idiots without even having to talk to them.

i have mixed feelings on that after working with so many people from these advanced countries. not many of them are brilliant. sometimes i wonder if these degrees are just bought or even if they have actual degrees.

there's education and then there's ability and being able to apply that knowledge.

well he used to brag and say the only reason he came to the usa is to get levis jeans. he said they were expensive in his country and worth the trip over here to get them. i think he was buying them and selling them over there.

It was another one of those things where a Sysop died and the rest of us didn't know until sometime after... not as fun as the Sysop who died in his apartment with his rent/bills on auto-withdraw and his disability/retirement on auto-deposit, so it was only until the neighbors complained of the smell much later did the cops show up to bust down the door (his BBS running
on autopilot the whole time)

Anyhow so apparently with Roy he was never married despite proclaiming so for years, was the one that reported Ward to the Faa for additional screening and circumvented the censorship of the Fidonews echo by linking with... Michiel vandervlist of all people. Trust me I never saw *that* one coming.

I think he was a mechanic or something because he ran the Auto echo on Fido and was very experienced with engine repair.

I talked to him on the phone a few times, this must of been a few months
before he died and he surprisingly was very laid-back, calm, didn't talk much.

no he was married to a woman named antionette. it's in his obituary. i didnt dig up any info on that.

it's the 'nancy' they say is a fake girlfriend. which really, i'm sure he could have picked up a slag and supported her and called her his girlfriend.
or maybe he loved his wife so much that died in 2000 he just called her nancy because it would seem weird talking about his dead wife all the time

Nah thats not true, I certainly know your all alright but with that short fuse. I think most people have that figured out by now.

Those that I work with think im the worlds biggest dickhead until they work with me for a minute and realize im just after the highest quality possible. The point is to do it right the 1st time and not see it again for years.

That rubs off on some people like a lot of upfront investment like damn I have to work while im at work?! But when we have days and days where everything runs great and we can throw BBQ's while everything runs semi flawlessly they start to understand.

Yeah, I remember when he mentioned switching to D'Bridge and being very happy and supportive of it.

I never had issues with Roy and we had many conversations on the various echos. Lots in the Automotive echo since we shared that common interest and classic car related discussions.

Who was that? Even when you never met these people, I still hate to hear news of anyone passing away. Nancy Backus used to log in here all the time and then it went quiet. Eli Sanford (whom I have spoke with several times on the phone) was another one. He brought WWIVnet back to life and was a huge WWIV supporter over the years. He was not that old, too. Very nice guy. I was chatting with him not long before he passed. That really sucked.

I still remember when I found out my old co-sysop passed. Granted he was 30+ years older than me, but I still remember meeting him in person long ago when I was around 20 years old.

Anyhow so apparently with Roy he was never married despite proclaiming so

for years, was the one that reported Ward to the Faa for additional screening and circumvented the censorship of the Fidonews echo by linking with... Michiel vandervlist of all people. Trust me I never saw *that*
one coming.

I didn't know about the FAA thing. I believe Roy was married and has several kids. What I read was his wife had died many years before Roy passed and he never said anything about it. He acted like she was still alive and would talk about her all the time. It is very sad to hear that - and even Ward felt bad about that when he heard that info.

I think he was a mechanic or something because he ran the Auto echo on
Fido and was very experienced with engine repair.

Yes, he ran an engine rebuild shop. He was very much into engines, cars, and tools. I remember chatting with him on the best options to get before I bought my air compressor.

I talked to him on the phone a few times, this must of been a few months before he died and he surprisingly was very laid-back, calm, didn't talk much.

I never spoke with him on the phone, but we did email and exchange pictures of car projects, etc.
