  1. I have a hard time thinking of Macron as the "good guy" for the French people. He's a corporate conservative at the end of the day. The only reason he seems like a decent politician to other countries is because he isn't Le Pen. From an American's perspective, that's like saying "Thank goodness we have President Paul Ryan. Can you imagine a Trump presidency?!?" Macron is literally the French incarnation of Paul Ryan. When you have an American doing a startup in France wearing a $3000 suit, surrounding by happy, healthy, and busy French employees working to keep him in $3000 suits, but he complains about "how hard it is", I just don't have it in me to feel bad for him or think that the French government should be doing "more" for him and not his employees. Stick to your guns, French Labour Unions, and never let them turn you into our "Rich Guys First" culture across the pond. If you're "economically challenged", it sure doesn't look it. High unemployment is a relative thing when you have $37k median income and a 2.7 trillion GDP. I respect that you don't allow corporations to contribute to political campaigns and cap the campaign financing by individuals and parties, and I respect that modern France is a stable bedrock member of the EU. I won't get into nationalist history...we all got skeletons in our country's closets

  2. It's not as if anyone is screaming to shut him down, least of all VICE. He made a ridiculous public thing, said so quite clearly. VICE's stock in trade is showing ridiculous things and people, and he's obviously having a good time with it. He's a dedicated Shoop troll, and enjoyed having his visitors shown to the world as being ridiculous.

  3.  @jesteravrgjoe2888  Sounds like you really want to have the option to shoot some women who dumped your hillbilly ass. And you need some off the books guns that you think won't be traced back to you to do it. Been planning these murders long, incel?

  4.  @bwill123  Conservatives now see them as their great white hope. Crony capitalism, secret police, legalized homophobic persecution, rabid white nationalism, an arms and oil based economy, psychotic evangelism. Post-Soviet Russia is a conservatives wet dream now.

  7. LOL, what did everyone expect? That Mueller, a mystery man who has never spoken on the mic, would suddenly jump out in front of the press with a chalkboard and lay it all out in verse?

  8. 21:41 Yep, sure do see alot of poor Tanning Salon owners. Especially when they pull up in the stereotype drop top 'vette. And he sure does look like he's going broke handing out melanomas in his fancy shop here. 10% tax means he had to go from a 60' yacht to a 55'. That's just cruel. THANKS OBAMA.

  9.  @majorevangelism  dozens of doomed kids who have only you and your shitty glock versus a suicidal prick with a mil spec killing machine in his hands that you can get over the counter at Cabellas changes that equation. Don't take up the badge and the oath if you're not going to live up to it, or put your life on the line for it. Soldiering, fire fighting, law enforcement, and several other professions already have a "Cowards need not apply" sign over the door

  13. I imagine it would be a question of drag created by the turbine vs the lift (forward) being generated by leaving them free spinning. The same problem has been an issue with charging hybrid bicycles with an electric motor. The excess drag that occurs during pedaling or free rolling can be less than it's worth. But then again, it's probably gonna be like Photovoltaic Solar cells. Give it enough evolution time and it will achieve net gains vs the cost/drag/drawbacks.

  14.  @user-me7mm7gr1p  lol, you're obsolete, boy. You were born about 2 centuries too late, and into a big, bad world that you can't handle. Not your fault, natural selection isn't perfect. Sometimes a swimmer like you gets through the filters.

  15. Every time I see one of these right wing demagogue poseurs trying to be the next to make that Alex Jones money, all I hear is Baba Booey! Baba Booey! come out of their mouth Whipping closet hate groupers into a lather is a goddamn career for every schmuck with a webcam now. They will willingly incite violence against people using conspiracy theories that target the mentally unstable just to get Likes, so they can turn that into pathetic ad revenue. We aren't missing the far right and their crazy messages at all. They're fucking EVERYWHERE, spamming the upload button with their shit like Micheal J Fox holding a shake weight. I can see them right now, on the right side of the suggested videos list.

  16. QWERTY42 I'm an Artillery Forward Observer, silly little boy. 13F30 with 20+ years experience and still calling fire missions. I've forgotten more artillery and JTAC knowledge than you will ever know. Go back to slinging weed and let the professionals have this discussion.

  17. Not to mention incredibly back stabbing. They were nice enough to take him for a ride, and show him whats up. Show some thanks, hipster, even if their not "your" kind of people. They're certainly not mine, but I still would never call them bozo on a broadcast segment.

  19. 7:48 Well, General Flynn, you did alot more than a tenth of what she was accused of. More like power of 10. You just might get locked up. Although I am damned curious what you thought you could offer as testimony had you been given the immunity deal you sought... For those of you who haven't spent time around General Officers, you have to understand that they have lived their entire adult lives in an Officer bubble. The kind of bubble where you throw one time comrades under the bus to climb to full bird colonel and above, and you are given 20+ years of encouragement to be a "world" player with godlike power. They don't understand life for the normal enlisted guy, much less life for the average American or foreign national. I've spent my time in the orbit of fine colonels and light birds, a few well meaning but out of touch brigadiers and major generals, but never met a single Lieutenant General who wasn't packing a god complex that they clearly wore on their face. Especially a certain former commander of the XVIII Airborne Corps. His entourage and staff were visibly intoxicated with his sense of power and spent their time in "yes man" mode. Pete Chiarelli was a cool MJ when he was running the 1st Cav though. Came to every funeral service for every guy we ever lost, and actually told his staff to get lost so he could talk to troops and local iraqis at the ground level, without being told what he wanted to hear. One sad fact related to me by a Corps level NCO is that senior sergeants major have to attent periodic weeks-long training now just to learn how to keep their Commanding General from committing sexual assault, harrassment, politically suicidal statements, or letting slip OPSEC info while bragging about themselves. That's pretty fucked up.

  20. Why doesn't Russia try to go EU themselves? Holy SHIT, the improvement that would make to it's economy and respect level. Yeah, it's a tough sell to old, orthodox catholic, Stalinist farts, but it would be a coup to their youth and livelihoods.

  23. I fought 9 wildland fires as a class II guy, and I'm here to tell ya: that shit is rough work. I was young then, couldn't imagine trying to do it in my 40's now. Digging fireline and mopping up hot spots is a far harder day than bucking hay. Then do that for a couple weeks of 12 hour days without a break.

  26. No, that's a true Soldier. A warrior fights in the name of war. A warrior kills for glory, dies for pride. A soldier executes a duty to a people. A soldier lives for others, dies for them too. These people are as dutiful a soldier as the world has ever known.

  28. Alot of you armchair pundits who know nothing about the Environmental/HazMat biz think the EPA is some giant organism. I worked HazMat for years, and the EPA isn't who shows up in 48 of the states when someone fucks up the neighborhood and your favorite fishing hole because your local bodyshop flushed their paint thinner into the sewer or creek. It's your state DEQ. Same people who do emissions checks on your cars. They have primacy. That means THEY are in charge. And they meet or exceed the EPA federal guidelines. So even if the administration neuters the EPA at the federal level, the state DEQ's still hold all the policing power, and have for a long, long time.

  31. I doubt the drones bombings will stop until the suicide bombings stop. Sooner or later, one or the other is going to hit the black stone of Kabaa. The alternative would be peace, and an end to institutionalized insanity.

  32. The "international community" (read: wealthier western world) is tired. It is tired of having a finger pointed at it as being somehow, inexplicably, responsible for people who are determined to kill each other in their own lands in droves and steal what meager things they might have rather than create industry and feed themselves. You don't see wealthier eastern Asian states being stupid enough to bleed both money and lives into these mortal black holes in human existence. Of course, they tend to believe race dictates destiny as a matter of cultural policy.

  33. Shane has stated that the program does indeed aim to show the absurdity of the human condition. VICE doesn't make human behavior absurd, but they show us that we made it that way ourselves. The paradox is that those who see they are part of the problem going immediately into denial mode and play the victim to justify greater absurdity. I'm not referring to you Mike, but rather to how people involved in the various atrocity VICE will show and mainstream media only glosses over react to being caught or interviewed being, well, absurd and evil. Ask Putin.

  35. Old Man yells at cloud...after masturbating to it. Edit: The defining feature of Millennials is that they were at some age old enough to recall the turn of the millennium clearly. Like most of the Nintendo/Gen X crowd can recall the 70's, but hit adulthood in the 80's. Some of us are even retired already. Generations are charted in 15 year blocks. Greatest > Silent > Boomer > X > Millennial > Z > Zero/Alpha (?)

  40. The problem continues to be an inability to distinguish between PERSON A: Peaceful protestor, irritating or not, and PERSON B: Violent, armed insurrectionists led by Russians disguised as Ukrainians to overrun the entire nation 1 city at a time using the passivity of the Ukrainian police and military to their advantage. One person should be shot, the other should deported to Russia. There's plenty of Russia out there for them to live in.

  43. It's because no-one understands Chile, nor cares . It might be apathetic, but it's sensible. Chile is chile's business, no matter how often they use the tried and true "This is USA's Fault!" bs, and the American's don't intent to take either side in another country filled with rock throwing, fire bombing nuts.

  46.  @kucingmiumiu854  So long as we're on the subject of appropriate english, the proper word we are looking for is Dialect. Appropriate synonyms include terms such as Patois, inappropriate terms would include a Creole, Accent, Slang, or "WTFDidyajustsay??" To be fair, if you're an Oxford English Speaker today, you would be completely screwed just going back 4 centuries to an English speaking nation, or Aberdeenshire today.

  47. Meh, Amazon ain't that welcome in PDX, don't need another giant company with a bad rap for treating employees and locals like shit in in this town. We already got Intel and Nike. As a result, people here make it a point to buy AMD and Adidas.

  48. Murdoch Jr and Soros management jointly invested on a media brand. One would think them strange bedfellows, but cash recognizes cash, not right or wrong. Their partisan 'disagreements' are pure theater.
