<SollenbergerRC> Today someone tried to bomb the former President of the United States and no one was surprised
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: she's viet (aside from the passport)
<B787_300>
bofh^28: two former presidents and the former heads of CIA and Justice
<rqou>
oh interesting
<SnoopJeDi>
bofh^28, deliberate engagement is definitely way better for mental health
<rqou>
heh, so you're "half-asian"?
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: well, and the fact that she has lived in FR since 75 or so
<B787_300>
bofh^28: oh and the head of the congressional black caucus (a black dem from Cali named Maxine Waters)
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: I don't actually speak viet though, however I don't have an accent (or rather I have a Sài Gòn accent) (and i can read aloud extreeemely laboriously because the writing system carries sufficient information to recontruct the pronunciation for any particular dialect even without knowing the words; no idea what i read though :D)
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: "the writing system carries sufficient information to recontruct the pronunciation for any particular dialect" << this is really weird an neat btw
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: e.g., for initial consonants: in the south v=d=[j], in the north d=r=[z], but in the south r=[ɹ] and in the north v=[v], so the three letters are separate even though in each dialect it's weirdly redundant
<kmath>
<backdoor_pharma> @whitequark every time I read this post I get angrier and angrier
<bofh^28>
I mean that is an option worth attempting (the noninteracting with news, the faraday cage bit not so much).
<B787_300>
although regarding the pipe bombs or whatever they were sent to Obama, Clinton, Soros, Holder (returned to congresswoman Wasserman Schultz because that was the return address), Brennan, and Waters i have to wonder what the detonation mechanism is and why none of them didnt go off *in* the mail to the people
<B787_300>
(and wondering why that selection of people was chosen)
<bofh^28>
like it wouldn't surprise me if they all were effectively duds.
<bofh^28>
these people aren't the sharpest tools in the shed
<B787_300>
i mean Clinton, Obama and Soros i can understand, but not the left news media?
<bofh^28>
(for the other extreme, some fuckhead in Wisconsin attempted to make pipe bombs and blew himself up... turns out (iirc) ETHER PEROXIDES OF ALL THINGS aren't exactly a predictable explosive).
<B787_300>
putting Wasserman Schultz's address as the return address is interesting (but futile if they mailed in person at a post office)
<B787_300>
bofh^28: at least he only killed himself
<B787_300>
s/himself/himself?
<Qboid>
B787_300 meant to say: bofh^28: at least he only killed himself?
<bofh^28>
B787_300: the altreich & fuckface von clownstick have been yelling about Der Lügenpresse for how long now? them getting sent to the media makes sense.
<bofh^28>
also I *really* cannot view CNN as "left". "center-right" would be a better description (with Faux being "openly fascist").
<B787_300>
bofh^28: but the one sent to the media (CNN) was addressed to Brennan as he works for them occasionally
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: anyway, the writing system is cool
<B787_300>
like where is the bomb to Rachel Maddow or MSNBC? as that is left media (not as far left as fox is right though)
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: and yes, "v" pronounced [j] applies, e.g., to the name of the country
<egg|anbo|egg>
rqou: also final "t" is often [k] in the south

(doesn't help that Voyager 2's narrative was mostly "well, we have this thing and it's in space and going in the right direction already, can we please have like enough funding $ to do, like, goddamn science?" :/)
