Quote from: Savonarola on October 10, 2025, 06:55:53 PMRIP John Lodge. No one remains of the Moody Blues original line up, only Justin Hayward is left from their classic period and Patrick Moraz from their comeback era. I'm glad I got to see them a couple of times, I wish I could have seen them with Mike Pindar, but I was six when he left the band.

Checks and balances are annoying when your guy is being checked and balanced but the best system invented so far to maintain a democracy.
Where are the checks and balances to which you refer? Sounds great in theory - it's in practice that it starts crumbling. Take the US as the most recent tragic example.

Freiburg is a great city. Very progressive, focused on sustainability.
University cities and towns have not only the means to focus on sustainability, but the mindset to do so. Their downside is that they are usually quite expensive places to live.

One thing I learned about her is that she's not Trump. Still going through them to see if I can learn anything else.
I am very confused by the oh wow it wasn't Trump angle.
It is incredible how much everyone is under this guy's spell. As if there was even the remotest chance that a destructive aggressive asshole would get it.
Quote from: DGuller on Today at 11:45:26 AMQuote from: grumbler on Today at 11:42:30 AMI'll stick to the main point then: quoting someone does not necessarily make the reporting not misleading.Quote from: DGuller on Today at 11:33:59 AMQuote from: grumbler on Today at 10:53:56 AMQuoting can be misleading as well if done out of context. That's especially so for incoherent or rambling people who may require a very large context window for their quotes to be interpreted as intended.Quote from: Tonitrus on Today at 10:11:49 AMI believe his "argument" was again being more about Tylenol than the circumcision itself...so that is kind of a mix of RFK nuttery and misleading reporting.
His statement was a direct one about circumcision, and an indirect one about Tylenol. The reporting is quoting him and so not misleading.
I am not sure what point you are making here. What do you believe RFK Jr intended us to take from his statement, and how can you tell that that is what he intended?

Quote from: Duque de Bragança on Today at 05:23:27 AMProbably, yes. It's lukewarm or average for me. Not a disaster of epic proportions such as Episode I but nothing special.
Did not watch it in 3D, however. Might give it another shot.
