Insane headlines all over the media. "Loud noises" and a "fall". WILD.

Seeing snippets of video from the shooting that arguably show cops taking away the corpse of the shooter...

Exactly my thoughts, both.

Shut the fuck up, you're ridiculous.

I wonder what dupe is going to get it for the failed Trump assassination attempt.

I'm thinking about all the agency people implicated, for sure. But also whatever Oswald they got for this one.

Seriously, those people are literal heroes. What they're doing is not like taking down the ULEZ cameras in the UK, which is also hugely impressive.

But we can all agree the consequences in Hong Kong will be a lot more severe.

And the courage it takes is even more impressive when they probably know they will inevitably get caught, eventually.

Massive balls

In HK? Now THAT takes some serious balls.

You're right about that. Still, I despise them precisely for peddling that shit.

I'm curious to know your point of view of the current relationship with China. Well, specifically, with the CCP.

Mine, from outside and with not a lot of inside relationships in AUS anymore, is that your elites, politicians first but not only, have completely sold out to the CCP. And a lot of your troubles stem from there. (A similar case to Germany since the uber-corrupt Schröder, who ended being a literal employee of Putin).

Simplify your life*

*be rich first so you can.

I despise this type of articles and people soooooooooooooo much. I truly fucking hate them.

Sorry for your loss. It's a very hard thing to witness.

My point was that even those "quick" cases take years, and there's a long period in which they alternate cogent moments with impaired ones. Biden still has many cogent moments despite the obvious dementia, that's all.

Have you people never have a grandparent, or a family friend or someone, with dementia? They don't simply go from being OK to shitting their pants and being unable to feed themselves overnight.

Biden is undoubtedly demented. That doesn't mean he is a vegetable (yet). He has cogent periods of time, and those include having slips of the tongue and making other mistakes. And he has impaired periods in which he clearly doesn't even know where he is, can't form coherent sentences and forgets fundamental things.

Anybody powerful enough to replace the POTUS with a doppelganger is absolutely part of "the system" and has the least amount of interest in upsetting it.

So, your Ockham's razor is that they found a doppelganger, probably surgically altered his face, replaced Biden with him, and keep the real Biden locked away somewhere. Just so they can make the doppelganger say dumb shit in public.

Doesn't seem a very sharp razor to me, but hey.

Bitcoin is probably the only asset class in which the non-Boomer generations have managed to front-run their parents and grandparents, who amass all other asset classes and have made them completely unaffordable for the younger generations (destroying their life in the process).

Shame on anyone 45 and younger selling.

So what would be the purpose of faking a demented POTUS? The cost in reputation, especially in the international relations arena, is immense. It hardly makes sense.

No, mate, he's not acting there. It's a lapsus linguae though. One doesn't need to be demented to have those.

And for the record I am 100% convinced Biden is demented. Just that this specific instance wouldn't be proof of that.

No goods, just services, and my clients do not pay in BTC. It's actually a lot more convenient like that, actually. Receive fiat, spend fiat. If I need privacy for an expense, I have my ways.

Whatever's left at the end of the month gets converted to BTC and sent to cold storage. Fewer transactions, fewer fees, more sats stacked.

I'm not going to tell you anything about your own country, but at the turn of the century, when I was studying in Tokyo, I met an Australian for the first time. A fantastic girl, truly awesome. Very progressive, but so was I, as a libertarian.

I remember laughing at her because she was majoring in "gender studies" and she went on to write her PhD thesis on something like women's treatment in Japanese folk stories of something like that. I had never heard such bullshit, but I simply dismissed it as a harmless oddity.

My point being, shit doesn't happen all of a sudden.
