That's an odd moment of apparent truthfulness. He doesn't normally have a problem telling people whatever they want to hear only to golf instead of working on making it happen.

I'll be honest: I've kind of lost count at this point, but I think - with Australia now finally included - that Trump has managed to check all the big items off on his "places to belittle, insult and threaten to invade" list. I could be wrong. We need a spreadsheet. Or a really big bingo card.

While having the peons pay the bill for it, of course. After all, taxes are for people too poor to hire one of the really smart accountants.

Le Monde caught up with the primary investigating detective as he was enjoying a chocolate croissant and a double espresso at a charming little café. He had the following comment on the case:

"Yeah, we'll be getting right on that. Everybody wants to find the culprits, and it's totally not to hand them the nice gift basket we absolutely didn't put together for them."

I don't disagree, but my problem is the ways in which it clearly isn't Fallout. Specifically, FO has some deep lore that justifies the existence, mannerisms and internecine postures of the various factions, but here it's apparently just... Waves of nutters take the first opportunity to move into a radiological quarantine zone and set up shop as conveniently thematic gangs for... reasons.

"Just think about it lads! Not only can we live in a place that'll kill us on the cellular level, but we can wear theatrical facepaint - don't ask where we're getting a steady supply of that - like a 24/7 Kiss revival concert! It'll be awesome! There'll be matching top hats for everyone. Millinery is a real growth industry in here. Mind the mercury."

But other than that, it looks fun enough.

Edit: Spelling.

Yes. My point wasn't that "they're not illegal immigrants because they pay their taxes", but that - of all the immigrants one could have - the ones that do pay taxes, while getting nothing in return for it are surely even more profitable for a state than actual citizens which can and do make use of public services.

"They kept calling us oblivious idiots for some reason."

Presumably, the IRS would only know about them if, you know, they pay their taxes.

Eh, tried it. Doesn't seem to support regex or even wildcard matching, which is... suboptimal. The preview window also often fails to show the content of the current file correctly.

Hah, okay. That's pretty cool. If people are going to be writing farming bots anyway, one might as well make it the formal objective.

I'm fine right here, thanks. Although I'd been using Reddit for some time at that point, I permanently left Digg as part of the Great Exodus. I don't see any particular appeal to going back to a centralized service, especially in the current climate.

Somehow, that managed to make her more feminine.
