I think the Queen might just be tormenting you from beyond the grave.

Heh. Thought God was supposed to save her?
:shycouch:

Against my better judgement, I'm gonna switch on the VPN later and see if that video comes up. If it's not there because of regional/geographical issues it usually says so, and it's not saying so.

Trollheart 03-23-2023 02:23 PM

No. Even with VPN no video. Still unavailable.

Have you tried pressing Ctrl + Alt + Down Arrow Key?

Trollheart 03-23-2023 03:19 PM

No thanks. I don't want my computer to delete all files without confirmation or whatever that will do.

The Batlord 03-23-2023 03:55 PM

It won't do that specifically.

Trollheart 03-23-2023 09:20 PM

One thing is for sure: anyone who does that

it just rotates your screen upside down

Trollheart 03-24-2023 07:16 AM

So, what? I'm supposed to remove my head, turn it upside-down, put it back on so I can see what's on my screen? That's mean, man. :(

Thats because aside from being a massive chode Desantis is a really smart guy, he just doesnt act like it. Graduate of Yale and Harvard and I believe as a military jag lawyer.

I really dislike living in his state, however anything is better than Rick Scott.

Lol better off that way.

He was a black democratic mayor of Tallahassee that was running for governorship in 2018.

There was a bunch of shady controversy that happened with his campaign and then most recently In 2022, he was indicted on 21 felony counts, including wire fraud, conspiracy, and making false statements, for allegedly diverting money raised during the campaign to a company controlled by one of his top advisors.

So yeah big time shady character.

Tennessee House GOP expels 2 Democrats in retaliation over gun control protest, on ‘sad day for democracy’


Quote:

Two Democratic members of the Tennessee House of Representatives have been expelled while a third member was spared in an ousting by Republican lawmakers that was decried by the trio as oppressive, vindictive and racially motivated. Protesters packed the state Capitol on Thursday to denounce the expulsions of Reps. Justin Jones and Rep. Justin Pearson and to advocate for gun reform measures a little over a week after a mass shooting devastated a Nashville school.

Speaking to CNN’s Don Lemon on “CNN This Morning,” Jones decried the actions of House Republicans. “What happened yesterday was a very sad day for democracy,” Jones said. “The nation was able to see we don’t have democracy in Tennessee.”

Jones confirmed if he is reappointed to the seat by the Nashville Metro Council, he would serve. “I have no regrets. I will continue to stand up for my constituents.”
Good ole Tennessee I feel sorry for anyone that lives there willingly.

I thought all the crypto bros moved on to AI or something.

Idk I still see ads for it. So who knows.

Probably all AI will be good for in the near future is putting click bait writers out of a job.

The Batlord 05-08-2023 09:06 PM

This sounds like the Hitler AI admitting the Holocaust was unfortunate but minimizing his role in it. I'm on to you, Skynet.

This is the ad that I'm still seeing to this day!

Idk man I don't think it's come and gone as much as you think.

The Batlord 05-09-2023 06:41 AM

I'd say the problem with Decentraland is that virtual property has none of the value of real property, since you can't live on it, and so the only people who buy it are corporations with enough money to huck into a well on the chance that buying an ad in Decentraland will pay off eventually. Like, what the **** are you supposed to do with virtual property and why would anyone go there?
