Quote from: TDoS on May 03, 2026, 07:17 PMHow well did your memory hold up after those cocaine partys you've described back in your Wall Street days? Any better than just boozing it up all weekend with friends?   

It works just fine.  It is selective though.  With people, I remember all the really hot women I ever met and anyone who had interesting ideas to chat about.  Anybody else is mostly a crap shoot, except for rude, fat, boring, stupid, anonymous and ugly people who I nearly always forget.  More than 1 of those attributes increases the chance you will be forgotten.  If the person also has interesting ideas besides being ugly for instance, it increase the chance I remember them.  So it's no surprise you didn't get a storage bin in the archives.

Japan Buys Russian Oil for the First Time Since Hormuz Closure

Japan is set to receive its first shipment of Russian crude oil since the conflict in the Middle East disrupted global energy supplies.


And the average cost of gas in Seattle is $5.795 a gallon now.

SHIT! We've only hit about $4.50 lately. Normally wouldn't notice when quietly zooming by gas stations, but the wife required me to take her out for a fountain drink and I noticed the price the suckers....excuse me...the ICE powered people who are forced to suffer from not being worldly wise to the limited nature of crude oil and products produced from them.

GO EV!!!

Not at all. One of us has already described the events because we remember them. And the other has claimed no memory of said meeting. Your statement is contradicted by your previous claim of not remembering me at all. Tsk tsk.

Well, the "briefly" could certainly be less than 30 minutes or so, as for a minute or two you were wobbling around demonstrating the toy like nature of that little electric scooter thing was when you weren't standing.

Perhaps you were still loaded from all the partying that weekend, and you can explain being able to stand as you were half in the bag?

Like I said, you can't claim to remember something when you've already claimed not to. I can only relate the facts of the matter. Facts are handy when working as a scientist. And they are easier to have when not half baked from a party masquerading as a sales pitch for a Amish park of some sort.

Israel is making Palestinians disappear in more ways than one

Reports of missing children and 'evaporated' bodies reveal a widening pattern of erasure in Gaza, where entire families are killed, lost under rubble or reduced to biological traces.

US congressmen introduce resolution condemning Hasan Piker for alleged antisemitism

Piker rejected resolution, saying: 'I have spent my entire career combating all forms of bigotry including antisemitism and will continue to do'.


The American Israel Public Affairs Cmte donated $275,830 to Mike Lawler in 2025.

The American Israel Public Affairs Cmte donated $525,265 to Josh Gottheimer in 2025.

The resolution put forth by Democrat Josh Gottheimer and Republican Mike Lawler accuses the popular left-wing streamer Piker and right-wing podcaster Owens of amplifying "antisemitic narratives online" and contributing to an "increase of violence against Jewish individuals, institutions, and communities" in the US.

America, the Fascist Cuk.

Japan Buys Russian Oil for the First Time Since Hormuz Closure

Japan is set to receive its first shipment of Russian crude oil since the conflict in the Middle East disrupted global energy supplies.


And the average cost of gas in Seattle is $5.795 a gallon now.  With California Washington has the highest in the country.  I need to snap a photo of the closest station to me.  It is a Shell station.  Diesel was over $7 and all the gas was over $6.  Quite the the sight to see with the numbers brightly lit up in the early morning light.  Mesmerizing, as in holy fuck!

Meanwhile Trump and Co. manipulate the stock market.  Considering which oligarchs are now most corrupt; if I could get Russian gas I would.

No. You weren't. You had to get on the thing to show the kid who wandered by that you could do feats of daring do with it. All dressed in black, sort of like a small Johnny Cash. And how would you know anyway? You are the one claiming you don't even remember me being there and soaking more than half an hour of your time? And then I talked to Wendy, noticed Dave and Monsta sitting near her tent, and John explaining something undoubtedly bamboo-ish to others. Collected some literature. And then I left.

It was quite illustrative, in terms of getting a bead on who I had been dealing with.

Quote from: TDoS on May 03, 2026, 06:54 AMWhatever you say. I am making my estimate based on how short you were compared to me. The 12 year old who came up and asked about your little electric skateboard thing was about your height, so my estimate seems pretty reasonable.

Either you can't add or you're a poor judge  of height.   I'm not Joe Pesci.  I'm the same height as Tom Cruise. 😀
