It smells like 3 million assholes in there.

Bots are taking over, the admins have done nothing to stop it.

Lame Duck presidents are known for actually getting things done.

well that explains, Dylan and Neil Young. My son says there are two kinds of people in the world those that love Neil Young and...

I always liked that railing that he does.

very nice, I fancy myself as a singer and have good enough pitch so that when there is bad singing it causes suffering.

Dude, Prez, means little anymore. After FDR, the power is where the money is.

Captain Dunsel, best can be said of The Oval Office anymore.

I work from home...

I am known by the admins of reddit. been there 3 years now, someone was tweaking my IP, shutting me off, i could browse but no input was allowed, no voting, no comments, no reply...

I called them on it openly, within an hour all was well, no more proxy needed.

they will not admit to it, why they did not just ban me, i have no idea...

I have done good things there, more than bad i guess, i always attract attention.

He signaled me to follow, I kept back at least 60 feet, till I had to try and pass him, I was where he could see me in his mirrors, just on low-beams.

I have experienced major time dilation four times that I can recall.

First time I was 6 or 7, and pulled a 2 year old from the bottom of a public pool.

Second time age 8, I was way out in our front yard, turned to see a large section of the backyard on fire around the neighbors trash-burning barrel, I ran and put it out with a shovel and a garden hose.

Third time I was 16 and rolled a VW squareback wagon into a ditch, exactly as I had done in a dream 3 weeks before. Had the classic "Life passing before my eyes" scenario and after I stopped rolling just figured I was dreaming again.

Fourth time was the impetus for the story I posted last night, where two truckers tried to murder me.

I theorize that the masters of speed in or on vehicles have the ability to enter that time-stretched zone for long periods of time.

Lived first, authored later.

Ricky-Bobby running around on fire. best part of the movie.

Ayrton Senna comes to mind, he did things with an F1 car that no one has matched. He was also bat-shit religious, but in a good way, he thought of himself as chosen, but kept fairly quiet about it. Along with that came no fear of death, to the point that his friends and family were concerned for him. Alain Prost tried to talk sense into him several times. The documentary "Senna" is on Netflix, good flick even for non-race fans.

I have when riding at speed had stray moments of thought, that proved, sphincter-clenching.

That's why I love riding, it forces you to be in the moment, and when I stop there is always that grin.

TIYP  ·  4424 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Ask Hubski: Have you ever been in a car accident when you are the driver?

It's definitely the adrenaline surge, combined with having the obligation to perform a task as the driver. I have been in several accidents and incidents on the highway but only experienced time dilation when I was the driver/rider and not the passenger.

TIYP  ·  4424 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: One of the many times truckers tried to kill me.

I'm not really sure how long I was trapped there between the two trucks, 2 or 3 minutes maybe. It was not a typical road incident that is over before you get a chance to think about it.

Fixed:

And THE HueyPriest said "TIYP build an /R/, it shall kleinbl00 for 40 days and 40 nights"

FILL the /R/ with male and female TROLLS each of their own kind, and TIYP did DO as the HueyPriest spaketh.

LO, it did kleinbl00 for 40 days and 40 nights.

On the 40th DAY, TIYP did releaseth a GABE, the GABE DID FINDETH kleinbl00's BRIEFEST submission... 40 leaves front and behind. AND the GABE did LABORETH in flight and CRASHETH into the waters of the kleinbl00 and did DROWNETH.

TIYP  ·  4792 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: In response to a top comment on that other social news site
The tools for revolution are in our pockets, purses and at our fingertips. Never at any time have the people held in their own hands the power to reveal the truth as it can now be revealed. This alone may be the greatest power of the cyber-age. The ability to portray events such as these in real-time, no edits, no cut to black.

This is the reason Government seeks to restrict the use of our cameras and video devices, as They increase the surveillance and unreasonable search of the populace.

They know their time of hiding is over and They are afraid.

I applaud those citizens on the leading edge of what I hope to be "Real Change". Is that not what our President promised?

I do not believe however this is the vehicle he had in mind, that with every passing hour, every protester violated, every empty promise crushed beneath the wheels of Freedom, brings us ever closer to "Real Change".
