The details of my life are quite inconsequential.. Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink, he would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Some times he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy, the sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical, summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds, pretty standard really. At the age of 12 I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum, it's breathtaking, I suggest you try it.

basicplus2··on Empire Burlesque - What comes after the American Century?
"the election of Donald Trump suggested to domestic and foreign audiences alike that the country might not be forever beholden to the idea that global “leadership” was a vital American interest."

I think the above is wrong.. i think the election of Donald Trump is more about the push back against the wealthy few gathering so much for themselves they leave not enough for the rest.

I find that if you simply change the wording of their contract to what you are happy with, initial all your changes, sign all pages, sign it, photocopy it, and send it in, nobody rejects it.

Later when they try to hold you to the original contract, you simply ask them for the contract you signed..

This has worked for me everytime :)

basicplus2··on Australia: Nation where your 'faceprint' is already being tracked
As Australia was colonised by the use of convicts (with very few exceptions), the social structure was (and still is) very much "the police state".

This is particularly true of Western Australia and Queensland.

The laws reflect this and the culture of the police and the various states governments reflect this.

Once a culture is entrenched it is very difficult to change it.
