Grindy came off very cynical and German in that post prompting my response.

That's pretty racist man.

I can in fact be perfectly certain that no stream of consciousness of any sort continues after the mechanism that creates consciousness is destroyed. Any doubt is as ridiculous as telling me I don’t know what will happen if my car runs out of gas- maybe it’ll turn into an airplane or a space ship or run on air. Who knows right? Who am I to say? Just because the brain completely stops functioning and decomposes maybe it still works.

She was okay looking before, but after the crash she was smoking hot.

I forgot that you died before.

EDIT: Also, looks like we found the super special know it alls of the universe.

Got it. Elves and wizards. (Imagine a German accent when reading that.)

Good find. Trump spent like .00000001% of that kind of money to pay off his angry side dishes (like Stormy) and people call for impeachment. Manafort's money laundering is national news but you have to pull teeth in Google search (relatively speaking) to find decent coverage of this particular story.

My guess is it'll be another card for Trump's legal team to play depending on Mueller's focus in his report. If your gonna send one guy to the gulag over laundering, throw every swamp creature out with the bogwater.

Might as well say that elves and wizards are real because what do we know, probably science just isn't advanced enough yet to deal with that.

Elves and wizards are real, man. They live inside the hollow Earth.

I always kinda enjoyed Ant providing a bit of balance to MB's political spectrum but agreeing with Merit he jumped the shark.
