It was Hegseth

I'm no hypocrite I didn't come here to talk about old news like Harris and Walz.

The only reason you keep harping about that is to deflect this thread from discussion of Trump/Hegseth.

Do you really think you are disguising your purpose? You picked a loser (Trump), and you should expect there will be discussion of your boy Trump when he shows his ass:

When you vote for Trump, all you have is yabbuts because there is no actual defense for him and his administration.
 
F go I’ll o
Trump took that same oath, so that part doesn't solve the problem as far as I can tell.

But, a more important question:

The Brits didn't seriously go after Turing until 1952, long after he was really, really, really instrumental in winning the war (indisputably actually). Then, they just prosecuted the hell out of him for his lifestyle. I don't think he was actually a member of the military though.


How do you think the American military would treat a Turing in today's environment, if Turing was an actual member of the American military?
Posts like this one are just ignorant. Turing’s legacy is digital computing. He advanced that science decades in a few years. He was to that as Tesla was to AC current. Yet you bring him up as the poster boy for misunderstanding and mistreating homosexuals through retroactive morals and social science. Turing was quite ordinary in that regard. He was in the company of thousands.

The reason you even know his name is because of digital computing and computer science. Stick with that.

What’s the benefit for these companies offering such “deals”?
Same as with all credit cards, the company pays some fee for allowing the card to be used, and they collect interest from those who don't pay the statement balance each month. For me the card costs nothing at all. I pay the same I'd pay if I paid cash and I pay the statement balance every month. I get miles every month (1 per each dollar spent) for no additional cost. Plus, there are many opportunities for bonus miles at no cost. I also get a bag checked for free, priority seating, and a few other perks.

And the cost for the service has been increased by the amount of “some fee for allowing the card to be used”…the company is passing that fee on to all users of the service
 
And why are you so mad about maga.
I’ve now concluded that mad/hate about MAGA is part of the autonomic liberal nervous system. It’s an uncontrollable psychological reaction unfiltered by the normal processes of thinking, reasoning and common sense.

Well, I’m MAGA, I’ve said so often and I’ve said why.

Sure. You're paying whatever that cost is whether you pay cash or use a card.

As have I. I’ve yet to get a response from stuffshot re policies

It's not a liberal thing. MAGA culture deserves derision from everyone. Incivility, anger, paranoia, irrationality, lack of reason, no common sense, disregard for the rule of law, cultish devotion to a particular leader, lack of respect for facts and expertise, etc., etc. None of that deserves respect.

You are only partially MAGA. It's why you've changed your long-standing conservative positions.

Sounds like your exposure to “MAGA culture” (assuming there is such a thing) is based 100% on what you read see and hear from others. I’d love to have you join the guys I often have coffee with. Each one of us are educated beyond a bachelor’s degree, each of us have a history of career accomplishments, and each one of us, if asked, would probably say they are MAGA. I think you would change your mind.

BTW, I have never been 100% conservative, I have several different liberal positions all of which I have posted about. .

Your stance on liability for firearms dealers is INSANE!

You've obviously never taken your entire extended family to dinner (cheap skate)...

$1200
for everyone's dinner and desert, plus tip

2 $100 bills per child and grandchild, (for their Easter get together gift) easily a
$1000+

$800
for an arcade and a movie, or some other type of experience for the grandkids

She was actually probably a little light and expecting the adult family members to kick in if necessary...

I could drop 2 Grand plus on own family and extended family here in the greater Indianapolis area. without breaking a sweat... Add 30% for D.C.s, "stick it to you" prices and you are easily needing 3 Grand...

For a guy who supposedly gets out and about and travels the world your lack of awareness in this area tells me you never pick up a check..., or gift the extended family kids with cash...
Lol. Does she not have a credit card?
 
Some places charge 5% more to use plastic. Always have a check or cash. The other places just raise prices 5% above what they would be if we weren’t a plastic “paying” society
I’ve never been to a place that does that. I know they are around. I’ve been more places that don’t accept cash, I haven’t used a check in several years.

They charge you the fee that the credit card company charges them….they just don’t tell you that you are paying the 3-5%.

The place I buy mulch and softener salt charge 5% more if you use a card. I’m dumb but not stupid….I carry cash or bring a check.

Always buy local….and they like cash

The credit card company charges a fee (usually more like 1.5%-3% - your mulch guy is likely marking it up) for a service it offers. That service is multilayered - convenience, electronic accounting services, reliability of payment, etc.

But you should ask your grocery store if you can have a 3% discount for paying with a check and see how it goes.

I don’t disagree but that cake was baked a long time ago. I use an Amazon card that gives direct cash credits on the Amazon account. Plus you get 5% credit for Amazon purchases.

Maybe for a Morton's or Ruth's Chris, but the restaurant was The Capitol Burger. Most entrees are $20-25. Not an exotic drink list either. Kids meals even less. Easter gifts for grandkids? Chocolate bunnies, not Gucci handbags.

The groceries would be 3% cheaper without the use of cards…this is not hard

You have to ask yourself why they would be so charitable?

Like you said…the cake was baked long ago. It’s still a shitty cake and creates an artificial increase in the price to consumers.
 
Why are you always worried about readers. Post on your own. And stuffshot I accomplished more by 20 than you have in your entire life.

And why are you so mad about maga. Are you a tranny? Transitioning? That’s my suspicion. You can’t articulate why you support progressives. I’ve asked a thousand times. All you can do is bleat hate. Is it your lifestyle being jeapoardized? You’re awful reticent about it
You'll never hear leftists say things like "I think it's fine for men who identify as women to be in women's bathrooms" because even they know it's insane. Same for "I think it's fine we have millions streaming across our border unimpeded so they can sign up for our social programs".

It's why so many can't actually come out and admit what they think. They know the ridicule they'll face.

As Simon and Garfunkle once said: Everything looks worse in black and white.
