    Plus a huge mix of attractive sociopath characters from TV/movies, where their sociopathy is either the solution to getting people to not want to bang dudes (or wanting to become ladies or something) or just makes those particular dudes more bangable because they are dangerous. Difficult to tell.

    This is funny, although I'm oblivious to the references to Xenu and Thetan. Can you help a brother out?

    He must have analysts running numbers on these issues, right? I mean, I don't get it. The Brad Pitt gladiator thing I can see having some appeal; maybe even the other abhorrent movie characters, but the rest? Please tell me that a large enough electorate have not become THAT sick.

    The less you know about Scientology the better.

    I don't care to fully understand it, but a simplistic explanation of the two terms is that they believe Xenu was a galactic leader who brought billions of aliens to earth, staged them around volcanoes and nuked them with H-bombs. Thetans were the immortal alien spirits released as a result and they attach themselves to humans. I don't think the rank and file members are told all that stuff until they spend 100K on auditing and the rest of their nonsense.

    Here's an eBaty listing for an auditing machine (note: NOT my auction. :))

    Thanks, that's . . . :eek:. Chick Corea is one of my musical heroes. Hard to imagine that he believed in this Xenu and Xanadu nutzo stuff.

    Zuck is about to put Twitter in the ground and he promises a “sane platform”. Hopefully we won’t see the likes of the DeSatan’s there.

    Is this actually a pro-DeSantis ad?

    Especially prominent here in the bay area, for obvious reasons. You don't want to get on their bad side

    I don't think his people produced it, but they sent it out or shared it.

    From a business perspective in Clearwater for sure but it doesn’t translate outside of there. I think Thetans are scared of water so they don’t traverse the bridges.

    It slills over to Tampa a bit. Not that much but just enough to not want to get on their bad side

    This is hillarious. Looks like rock spelt “loser” wrong.

    Gamblers on Betting Website Rank DeSantis’ Chances of Winning Presidency as Worse Than Newsom — Who Isn’t Even Running

    The PredictIt bettors also can bet on the eventual outcome of the November 2024 general election, and as NBC News senior reporter Ben Collins observed, they thought Newsom had a better chance of changing his home address to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue than DeSantis, with DeSantis’ numbers dropping 3 cents and Newsom’s going up a penny in recent betting.

    It doesn't really matter if they produced it. They shared it, showing how dumb they are. And now, they can't delete it or else DeSantis will get chided for backing down to the "gays." But by leaving it up, they can no longer hide their homophobia, which was previously thinly veiled.

    No. What we have seen, especially in the last year, is who he is and thinks he is.
