It's more important to him to criticize the government. If he got briefed he'd realize he's talking out his ass most of the time.

Here is Jason Momoa at 6'4" next to Lisa Bonet at 5'2". It gives you a feel for you what the height difference should look like.

There are a whole lot of sexploitation horror films that would fit the bill.

So let me add a comment. I had never heard of Tappio Wirkkala. I can't decide if I love the Thule series or not. But the chanterelle vase is gorgeous 😍.

Neuroscience and basically no time limit. 50 marks in a 3 hour night class and I tell them I'll stay as long as they need.

You are correct. "Bankrupt" is a little strong. But selling existing bonds back into the market while the U.S. is trying to issue new debt would not be great for America. I think dollar devaluation is 100% in the cards.

The US has been living on credit cards for decades now. The rest of the world has supported it because the most important thing for everyone is stability. With trade agreements getting ripped up, and nonsense tariffs everywhere, supporting Americas consumption habits is not necessarily in the world's interests anymore.

Canada alone holds almost $500 billion in US debt. Europe and Japan hold another $2.5 trillion in US debt. America is picking fights with people who can bankrupt them.

You wouldn't believe how difficult they are to mark. The basic skills of penmanship and sentence construction have fallen through the floor. 20% of students in my last class didn't even attempt the short answer section on an exam that was otherwise multiple choice.

Japan, the EU, and Canada together hold 3 trillion in US debt and they are flexing that muscle. https://deanblundell.substack.com/p/carneys-checkmate-how-canadas-quiet

No.

I commute on a 10 year old bike that cost $400 at the time.

Bad faith is the term. IANAL but I've been married to two of them. "Bad faith argument" for the action, "acting in bad faith" for the actor. It captures the idea of appearing to comply with procedure and orders, but deliberately misconstruing meanings and inventing ambiguities to justify actions. A gentler version of this is "sharp practice" which comes close to, but doesn't cross the line into bad faith.

2000 I think.

I'm not a phone person. What benefit does this provide?

True heterosexual love between a biological man and a biological woman. It's why he never hooks up with Lois Lane and keeps sneaking peeks at Jimmy's junk at the gym.

It does, but it's a reason to regulate the market. Otherwise there is minimal incentive to build affordable housing. The margins on luxury housing are just too fat. A developer is better letting half of a luxury setting sit empty than selling out affordable space. Same reason there is so little competition for affordable cars.

He likes to sleep on planes. So do I.

A version of "nice guys never win".
