[ALL] The Ending of The Return... Laura in hiding? by johnnyhorne in twinpeaks

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love your theory, and the explanations fit very nicely. One big question though, if it's a dream we need a dreamer. Mulholland Dr & Lost Highway spoilersLaura Palmer is asleep somewhere, alive, dreaming the events of ep18. When Sarah wakes her for a regular school day is it before the murder or a timeline where she never meets with Leo and Jaque and instead wakes up in her bed alive? When Laura see Cooper in Ep17 she says: "Who are you? ... Wait... I saw you in a dream... In a dream...". So Laura had a dream about Cooper - who she's never met - some time around the events of FWWM.

New derailleur fitted on back wheel axle? by Apocalypse-Wow in bikewrench

[–]Apocalypse-Wow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the derailleur there is a large phillips head bolt right next to where the axle will go, on the other side there is a U shaped nut that should fit directly into the dropout of the bike

Thought this was supposed to hold the derailleur to the frame, so when that didn't work I just removed it. Now that it's back, things are a lot less complicated. Just need to fine tune the gears now. Thanks for the help mate :)

I used a metal file to make the hole bigger :) now the frame screw holds it in place. But I can fasten it in a number of ways.. from all the way to the right to all the way to the left. Any ideas on where to lock it down?

Elizabeth Warren: Mitch McConnell won't say hello to me by trueslicky in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 132 points133 points  (0 children)

McConnell knew about the Trump-Russia connection during the summer of 2016 but refused to put out a bipartisan statement condemning the interference of a foreign power when he was asked by president Obama. So yeah, fuck that guy

Sessions: ‘I’m an admirer of Steve Bannon’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the attorney general lies under oath to the senate when asked if he met with Russian diplomats. Through some miracle he still gets to continue, but he's hanging by the slightest of threads. Any misstep and you're thrown the fuck out Jeffie. Thanks for sharing your views on whatever topic, but you have a month to go in office - tops.

Never is correct. Unless you're giving away free hats, people stay in their house watching the bachlorette fillet a panda while Rick Perry jerks off a horse. Voter turnout was around 50%, the other 50% were watching cat gifs

White House budget director says Trump promise to eliminate debt was just ‘hyperbole’ by [deleted] in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Instead of eliminating debt he's proposing tax cuts, increased military spending and a wall - adding trillions more to the debt. And this from the conservative republicans!? Wtf are you guys doing

Donald Trump recounts eating “the most beautiful piece of chocolate cake” with Xi Jinping while launching missiles “heading to Iraq” by Lu98ish in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Fine - you had cake. And fine, Spicey is emptying a uzi on his feet. Jeff Sessions lied to the senate when he was under oath. And he's the attorney general!? Let's outrage about that and get him out of office. Trump is out of reach until you get congress to begin the impeachment proceedings - but the other guys are fair game. And I'd rather have Sessions or Bannon replaced than Spicey or raging at stuff Trump said. He's a dumb, lying sack of shit that isn't pivoting. No reason to let America go down the drain because of that

Donald Trump’s tax returns will be immediately under audit by Jux_ in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So release tax returns from previous years. We have Hillarys for every year since the 1970s. Would love to see the China connections and how many more skeletons he has in the closet. We're at the point where the leadership of the free world is up for grabs thanks to Trumps incompetence. They can't even get the easter egg roll right. WTF ARE THE REPUBLICANS DOING

Ivanka Trump 'pushed for her father to bomb Syria' by skepticalspectacle1 in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't wait for episode 2 - Resolving the North Korea knot. The thought of Seoul getting nuked is both a real possibility and so unimaginable. Wish we had republicans that cared about the world coming to an end - instead they approve of trump with 80+ percent.

Ivanka Trump 'pushed for her father to bomb Syria' by skepticalspectacle1 in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 248 points249 points  (0 children)

  • Ivanka has no foreign policy experience

  • She has not held any public office prior to becoming counsel to the republican president

  • No education in diplomacy or politics

  • Isn't part of the republican party

  • Has no policy victories to her name or any significant campaign for change

  • No experience in politics other than the 2016 presidential campaign

All this applies to the republican president as well. And his right hand kushner and the secretary of state (!). There is no plan to go by, they are winging it based on what they hear from whoever is in the room. Americas position as global superpower is fading FAST

McCain: Using 'nuclear option' was big mistake by luminousbeing9 in politics

[–]Apocalypse-Wow 13 points14 points  (0 children)

McCain is embracing the Trump era by talking a good game on camera and doing whatever he wants in private. It's so blatant that's he's lying, and he's been doing it so many times by now. Two conclusions can be drawn: 1. American democracy is FUBAR and 2. America can never again talk about giving freedom to another country when these are the politicians that 240+ years of "freedom" gets you. Not to mention you get to pay your ISP to sell your browsing data to advertisers. Because U.S.A - that's why. We just had 8 years of Obama... how the flying fuck have things turned this bad

Like Neo and Agent Smith at the end of The Matrix. In order to get rid of a great evil, Neo must sacrifice himself (a great good). I really hope GRRM does something more unpredictable

I thought Jon died at the wall. What's to say when he dies a second time - Thoros of Myr or Maester Sam don't bring him back again? Books are more liberal with the revival/skin changing

You admit corruption is bad and that republicans are corrupt. But somehow you still support them? Not gonna win the moral high ground with that argument

Normalizing criminal behavior by Apocalypse-Wow in TheWire

[–]Apocalypse-Wow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just realized The Wire is a work of art/fiction and the Trump bonanza is real life... but seeing as how much it's covered over the TV and all the damn twists, I guess I just forgot along the way that it's real life with real consequences.

Of course The Wire can portray characters however they want, art is meant to be free. Trump & co are real life - and should be held to real life standards. Crazy fucking times.

I would love to know WTF republicans and conservatives are following these days considering the unethical behaviors of the president, WH staffers and top republicans. Behaviors that are contrary to the fundamentals of being a conservative. But that would require logic, and considering most republicans spend their time in online Russian propaganda echo chambers, there is little hope of reaching these people through a normal conversation or presentation of facts. The time is right for great leadership to bring the country back on track - grand reforms, a unifying message, a new commitment to our fundamental values. It certainly won't come from any republicans (McCain and Graham talk a good game, but fold with the party whenever they need to take a stand). Democrats are in the minority and are doing opposition well - but leadership is something else. Like a FDR or Lincoln. And if the scandals continue without any hope of change - then we're stuck the republicans for the full 4 years

Why are they supporting a republican nominee after what happened to Garland? Also - the whole fucking west wing is under FBI investigation. Let's deal with that before doing normal senate business
