- 1This bunch of memes you dug up really does expose what a wimpy bunch of losers the Jackass Party has become. Really laughed at how that nerd reacts to the Soviet hammer and sickle representing people who really for really real had to work.
Me dino barked laughter at that first meme asking the public to stand by while Fake News figured a way to blame Trump for something new.
It also moved me the dino to reword Fake News acronyms yet once again, to wit~~(C)ommunist (B)roadcasting (S)ystems, (A)ll (B)olshevik (C)rap, (N)ational (B)olshevik (C)ommies, The (P)eople's (B)ull (S)chiff and the (C)ommunist (N)ational (N)etwork. - 2Even Smart Water didn't help . . . just "Thick as a Brick" !!!
- 3Posted by Commander 19 hours, 3 minutes ago to Legalized Murder For Every Woman. Massachusetts Legalizes Abortion Up To Birth As Liberals Cheer.Remember: They thin their ranks with every non-generation. Their propagation is only through socialization.
Objectively, the purpose of Life, as a maxim, is continuity (for all living things). Continuity is achieved through two mechanisms; metabolizing energy and propagation. The homosexual/trans/abortion league is practicing suicide.
If these factions are so bent on self elimination .... let them go. Sorrowful? Yes. It's only a nuisance in the meantime. - 4Posted by JakeOrilley 1 day, 9 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.Have kept all of my "real" books. Have a brother who is an English professor in CA and he tells me to get rid of them, if I want to re-read them, just pull them up on line.
I have seen too many changes on line in the books that I truly enjoy - Heinlein's "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" comes immediately to mind - so I still have my wall of books.
The Harvard Classics five foot shelf of books has all of one shelf, but the other several shelves have all of the Asimov, Heinlein et al and of course the ligher stuff, like Douglas Adams - I have all 5 of his books in the trilogy in leather covers.
It is great stuff to use get away from the insanity of current life - reading about insanity from someone else's life! A great story.
Bottom line would be my recommendation is to hang onto your real books. - 5Aw, shucks! A-huck! A-huck!
- 6Posted by katrinam41 2 days, 8 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.I want to find anyone in the Gulch near Elyria, Ohio, just to talk with another human being who thinks. My daughter is an Ayn Rand enthusiast as well. if possible, some time soon the Gulchers should have a get together for book and idea exchanges.
- 7Posted by JakeOrilley 2 days, 9 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME 8/10/26 EDITION: Important 16 min video by Promethean UpdatesEasy answer - the monies are coming from the Chinese Communists. They (Jiniping) realize the number of useful idiots and that the monies spent on them will provide more results that spending on just about anything else - including their military.
Cheap at half the cost - and they start the cancer in our country with the sheeple and the insurgents that the people that were running Biden let in over the years.....
IMHO - 8Posted by JakeOrilley 2 days, 9 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITION"Just a Bama dino" - yeah right, Dino.... Your postings over the years show all of us that "a bama dino" is not the way we first think of you.......

- 10Posted by freedomforall 2 days, 16 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.If we were neighbors we could have a book exchange to read more!
My collection is smaller, but has many titles from the masters of science fiction and freedom/Austrian economics. - 11Posted by gafisher 2 days, 18 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONVery good point.
- 12Posted by JakeOrilley 2 days, 18 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONOGC, like all of the Mitch references. He is probably as aware as Biden was......
- 13Posted by JakeOrilley 2 days, 18 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONOr California - you cannot leave California out of the list of China, Vietnam, North Korea, Iran.....
And Dino, now that I am thinking about it, there are probably other locations here (USA) ..... - 14Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 19 hours ago to IN THE MEME TYME SUNDAY PAPER EDITIONIndeed. However the problem lies in Zinn's view of American history being so quickly and widely accepted within academia and then pushed onto students. Zinn's bad seeds were sown on fertile corrupted ground already in existence.
Disclaimer: I have not read Zinn's work, but have read many critiques and listened to various discussions on radio and TV and formed my opinions from them. I won't pay much for Zinn's book, but am willing to pay a buck or two at a used book store just to check it out myself. - 15Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 19 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.Yep! With you, katrinam41!
- 16Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 19 hours ago to What Anthony Fauci Teaches Us About the American Government BureaucracyFeel free to gloat over dodging the jab! Having the conviction and fortitude to separate yourself from the herd on this one deserves patting yourself on the back.
- 17Posted by mccannon01 2 days, 19 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.We have an early 20th century Aladdin as well. Beautiful lamp! Many years ago we had dinner at an Amish restaurant (Yoder's I believe) near Mesopotamia, Ohio. Excellent food and service!
- 18Posted by $ Abaco 3 days, 2 hours ago to What Anthony Fauci Teaches Us About the American Government BureaucracyI don't want to sound like I'm gloating. But, I really nailed it when I refused the jab. For my work I researched everything I could find on coronavirus, Fauci's work, related efforts to vaccinate for it...even various remedies against it even as they came to light during the pandemic. Just today I was talking with a young female colleague (who's often sick) about vitamin D3 and arginine - both of which, in spite of the media not covering it, were pivotal in the pandemic. I stood my ground. I was willing to quit and leave California if it came to it. As it turned out, I was recognized for my expertise and ended up being asked to help the state navigate the pandemic. Didn't take it. Instead I exercised "informed consent".
Curious after seeing so many friends come down with cancer and having my work shifted about 50% toward the production of cancer drugs I decided recently to see the cancer rates over the past 5 years in the USA. What did I find from the CDC? Nothing. They are not publishing any such figures as far as I can tell.
If you took that jab two or more times and you watched Fauci plead the 5th over a hundred times...it's normal to be concerned at this point... - 19Posted by $ Olduglycarl 3 days, 6 hours ago to The Great Forgetting: An AI arms race is consuming thousands of rare books which are sliced, scanned and pulpedHumanoids, no connection to us, creation nor it's creator.
It takes a "Mind", they don't have one and it can't be digitally created either. - 20Posted by $ Olduglycarl 3 days, 6 hours ago to The Great Forgetting: An AI arms race is consuming thousands of rare books which are sliced, scanned and pulpedWasting their time and resources they are, I think that electronic data will not survive the solar micro nova at the end of this cycle. Best hope that people like Glenn Beck, Wall Builders and others will have our true documented history preserved and uncorrupted for those born of survivors.
- 21There are treasure troves of accurate history out there that might never be breached.
It's kinda like how one might view the Books of Enoch. - 22The fall of Babylon all over again . . .
- 23The Aladdin lamp, using a cylindrical wick and a mantle, gives off excellent white light. I have one, a Number 8 model. Unfortunately (?) the power is never off long enough for us to need it. Aladdin lamps, along with all the replacement parts and the lamp oil, are available from Lehman Hardware in Kidron, Ohio. They are popular (as you might imagine) among the Old Order Amish.
- 24Posted by CaptainKirk 3 days, 14 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.Hold On. I believe this was because of a Court Action. The courts basically said, you MUST CONSUME the books to use their content.
I don't recall the full details. But if they could BORROW, RENT, or BUY and then SELL the books back, it wasn't fair to the authors, etc. because the computers have perfect memory. I also believe it PREVENTS them from taking BOOK X, and offering it to another AI company, etc. etc. etc. Meaning the copyright is real.
The argument was basically that a human is SUPPOSED to READ and KNOW the content. That's all we are doing. The courts demanded them to destroy the books so that every company training on them, have to seek, purchase the information.
NOW... If that's part of a deep start conspiracy to burn/destroy old books, and they used the Judges to do this... IDK.
When Google Originally did this, they did not destroy the books. But I am for digitizing everything.
I am not for destroying Irreplaceable books. - 25Posted by katrinam41 3 days, 14 hours ago to AI and the Printed Word.We're trying.:)
