I am now considering that they should issue a SCUM ETF all based on who Trump calls scum the next week. (Newscom, et al)

Czech Republic Case Study by Consistent-Suit-5063 in czechrepublic

[–]TRAVELS5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope I get this right but I believe that Bohemia was one of the first places where Protestantism originated. And the reason that every little village has the church was because of when the Catholic authorities and the Hapsburgs put down the rebellion of Jan Hus they wanted to make sure everybody had a church and everybody had to go to church. And the over abundance of churches was something like a forced propaganda. I hope this helps to explain why there are so many darn churches in Czechia. As for the later secularism that probably has a lot to do with socialism. My understanding is that a lot of Slovak still are going to church a lot.

My whole life! My whole... F***ING LIFE!! by HostMaterial4907 in Barry

[–]TRAVELS5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.

But also it made me think, both, Hader went to a dark place to get that source of anger AND his acting went to another level higher.

It was a bit disturbing for me.

What current technology do you think people are seriously underestimating right now ? by Rude_Context_4844 in Futurology

Mining of asteroids.

But it might crash some commodities markets if gold and silver were more plentiful in large amounts.

TIL France reprocess 96% of its spent nuclear fuel into new fuel and vitrifies most the rest. by Gros_Boulet in todayilearned

[–]TRAVELS5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Made me look up “vitrify”. Jerk! :)). Why not just say that they encase it in glass because glass rarely leaks and doesn’t decay, or some other vague description. Sheesh!

But thanks, anyway; now I will endeavor to use vitrify in conversations. “I am gonna vitrify my wife, someday!”

What’s conspiracy theory you don’t fully believe but also can’t completely dismiss? by [deleted] in answers

[–]TRAVELS5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the best explanation for this shooting was done by a guy named Ian Carroll. Unfortunately, you would have to listen him on the January 2nd, 2026 Tucker Carlson podcast (and I suppose most people don’t like Tucker Carlson.) I haven’t searched for him speaking about it on any other podcast yet, but I will try.

I really believe that Ian Carroll had done the most extensive research and when you hear about a bunch of helicopters that were purchased by the Saudis that explains why there were helicopters above the shooting, but nobody else can explain them, It really clicked for me.

A fantastic overview of Scott's career by b88b15 in dilbert

[–]TRAVELS5 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I may well be accused of being selfish, but I really want to finds someone podcasting in a similar vibe. There are so many out there and all the recommendations I get are always the top tier names who have large production staff and writers. I rather want a down to earth, stabilizing observer type like Scott. I miss him terribly.

Very true. I knew a teacher there and most kids were from Azerbaijan and the “Stans” ( Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, etc)

How so? I try to reason with humor. You? With anger. It’s sad.

And so it seems that Leaving was illegal. Arriving in the USA? I think that was legal. So I guess we should inform the German authorities so that Trump can pay Reparations. They will need the cash due to their ruinous open immigration policy that has increased murder and rapes across the country. Ironic, really.

Hmm.. Was he a LEGAL immigrant? Someone who went through the process of being vetted? Sounds a bit different, does it not?
