It doesn't exist. Not like being here and there. One moment I am here, another I am there, but I chose to be here or there, I do not nor ever have chosen to progress or halt my progress through time.

A simple consideration of time reveals it does not exist, it is only the present, so it has always been here. Without end. Unfortunately we are bits of matter that is "self aware" and we need to beleive in time more then Jesus Fucking Christ and Mohammad.

Absolutely. Only an idiot would posit infinite expansion. It's clear as day this is an eternal cycle of a firecracker and a dust cloud, happeneing over and over.

They have plenty of anti drone capability, most likely it's a dogpile of drone enthusiasts each looking for the other drones. As for them being "school bus sized", a 20 pound agricultural drone might sound as loud as a real helicopter, instead of "wop-wop" its "NGGGGGGGNNNNNGGGG".

This reminds me of Plutarch writing in Isis and Osiris that the Egyptians call each other "dogs", and it's a compliment, whereas for Plutarch this sounds odd, since the Greeks used it as an insult. It seems the Egyptians saw the animals from the animals POV, as opposed to "disposessed" like us.

Here Jim Henson is doing a "muppets gone wild" segment, and Rolf calls Arsenio Hall (I think), a "son of a bitch". He clarifies that this is high praise for a dog.

"Impov" is mentioned as a key trait of Elmo. This certainly is a key part of his appeal.

We are certainly in agreement. The gatekeepers want the entering countries to get presentable, and they can't pull it off. Well, I half think it's for the best, the EU is destined to fail at this rate. Best not to be left on the hook for Germany and France. They can always join NATO instead.

Also, what about the veto? This is part of the "rules based order" and also needs no justification. Like the veto at the UN. Correct me if I'm wrong here...

Right. That's more or less how I've seen it. But in regards to the EU never issuing a rejection, that's because they only pause the process, they never "reject" a nation. The nation can always change. My point is that there are more and more "indefinately paused" countries.

You tell them to go fuck themselves, you never liked them, and never want to see them again. That is the traditional method, I believe. Then you never talk to them again, this might be harder to follow through with.

So your position is none of these countries satisfy the criteria? Yeah, we are in agreement. Are you able to articulate my BS? I'm a little confused.

The thing is the EU has been on a roll as of late, rejecting nations like Albania, Turkey, Ukraine and Georgia from entering their union. Then the story is never they were rejected, but they were infiltrated by Russians. So also the Swiss, Icelanders and the English, infiltrated by Russians?

This seems like a dubious article, I swear, Eastern Europe is the hardest to write about. All the parties are pro EU to this or that degreee in Georgia, and the EU rejected Georgia first, after Georgia passed a "foreign agents" law.
