I'm not great with politics in general and the US system is one big puzzle where all the pieces are the same color. Can someone give me a tl;dr on this?

Republicans court the dumb, the disenfranchised, and the directionless, mainly because that's the only subset of people that are stupid enough to vote for them these days. Enter Trump, the biggest rear end in a top hat in politics, possibly ever, and he's exactly what republicans voters like. Only problem is the Republican party pretty much hates Trump, in the same way that Al-Qaeda is all "ISIS is too crazy, even for us!", and they're running scared now that their biggest nightmare might get the republican nomination and actually be in the running for prez.

It's Palin all over again, except republican voters have gone full-retard this time and "Palin" might win, and not just as vice-prez.

"TV"? What's that? Oh, is that some sort of good-time-johnny term the poors use for the Television? I wouldn't know that, as I don't even own one, and periodically become unaware that they even exist. I guess some people have so much extra time that they can spend it staring at that idiot box. Some of us have more important pursuits, such as keeping the memes as dank as possible on THE INTERNET. Yes, the internet, I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard if it yet.

Many herbivores will eat meat if given the option. The only reason they don't on their own is they didn't evolve to have the capability of successfully taking prey. Not that it would occur to them to try to take prey in the first place, but if you put meat into front of them and they like the smell, herbivores will go to town on it.

The best one, for me, is doctors who literally believed their hands didn't have germs on it since they were so much closer to God, therefor they didn't have to wash their hands.

The industry abandoned film because digital is cheaper on the production end, and the studios told theaters that they had to go digital or they could gently caress off.

Good lord, and he apparently just sat through a congressional hearing about his dumb rear end, making dumb faces the whole time and not answering any of their questions.

Then he immediately went online and talked poo poo about the legislators on social media.

It's like getting bitched out by the principal for being a poo poo and just staring at him the whole time, then going to your schoolyard buddies and saying "heh yeah that Mr. Smith has a poo poo face and dumb hair, I wasn't even listening to whatever he was saying"

What kills me is that there is a very real chance that by the end of this, he'll be the same old shithead, only instead of marking up HIV meds, he'll make a living touring the country giving speeches to "future CEO" types and MLM fuckwads.

Oh, so you just mean expand it to include people other than telemarketers.

Yeah. I don't see why some parties are exempt from the do not call list. I don't want calls from political parties stumping for their candidate, or even my own bank, if it's just to advertise some new service they're offering.

It's not really a problem, since call display is so ubiquitous these days that no one answers their phones unless they recognize the number, but still, why even make the call in the first place. Once the boomers are gone, since they're pretty much the last bloc of landline users, I could see telemarketing and other such phone based annoyances start to disappear. No point in making cold calls if literally no one will pick up their phone.

Except that every company you've ever dealt with that has your mobile number has sold it over and over again to many many telemarketing, accident solicitor and lots of other companies. So they'll give up calling landlines and call you while you're in the car.

That's what I was getting at though. Will they call mobile numbers in greater numbers? Is there anyone under 60 that answers their mobile phone when they don't recognize the number? Every advertiser on the planet could have all the numbers out there, but if there's no one answering their phone, is it still worth it.

I saw a surge of advertising calls when I last had to get a new mobile number, but these days those have almost dropped to zero. The only bump I ever see is when there's an election going on, and to be honest my union is WAY worse in making endless robocalls on who I should vote for than the actual political parties. At some point they must be detecting "Okay, this guy literally never answers his phone, so we might as well stop calling and use that time to call rubes who do answer their phone."

I think ungulates in general just have a surprising ability to gently caress you up. The amount of videos I've seen where a cow or horse suddenly glitches its leg in some random direction to crack a nearby individual's skull in half at a speed so fast only like two frames are caught on camera freaks me out. Maybe I've just spent too long in these kinds of threads but I really have no idea how people comfortably stand around those things.

Cows and horses aren't too bad, as they can only kick generally rearward. Stay away from the butt end, and you're usually safe.

Stuff like deer and moose though, they can kick in pretty much any direction. If they wanted, you could be standing in front of them and they could kick you with their hind leg.

People see colours which aren't there in those dress and jacket photos there because they're subconsciously adjusting for the conditions they think surround the clothes.

True, but then the opposite can be said as well, where people can't adjust for the conditions surrounding an item and merely see what the resultant color is.

So instead of seeing a jacket with white on it and yellowish light tinting that white, they simply see a gold color.

No idea what show this is captured from, but my guess is the entire thing is being played for laughs (unless you guys already know this, and/or I've misidentified the woman, and the schadenfraudy is on me :blush:)
