Trump doesn't understand that the border doesn't actually stop the flow of information, does he? Or that there might be translators?

Bayer lost all US copyrights, patents and trademarks after WW2 so heroin, asprin, etc are all generic terms for the medicine rather than trade names. Either is technically correct, since Bayer still markets aspirin as Aspirin and presumably would do the same with Heroin if it was still being used for medical purposes

Karl Sharks posted:

well yeah, i'm saying even if they didn't lose the trademark on heroin i'm pretty sure they would've given it up voluntarily so as to not be associated with heroin lol

Karl Sharks posted:

you're saying bayer still have a copyright (wouldn't it be a trademark, not copyright?) on heroin? c'mon now


Dayum I so stand corrected. I guess the lapsing of the trade name would be where it loses it's caps. (I guess I mostly wanted to brag about my grandmum. See what you get!)

I'd be surprised if it even made it through the post office. If they go direct to the counter to mail it I guarantee you the clerk won't let them send it without an R/A and if they put it in a box I doubt it ever makes it past sorting

I don't think return addresses are required for first-class mail:


A return address is required on certain types of mail. Preferred return address placement is the upper left portion of the mailpiece or the upper left part of the address area—on the side of the piece bearing postage. Mail qualifying for Nonprofit Standard Mail prices must have the name and return address of the authorized nonprofit organization either on the outside of the mailpiece or in a prominent location on the material being mailed (inside the mailpiece) (703.1.5).

There was a late night host who said something along the lines that Trump lies so often and so casually that you start to question your own memories of the past.
I think Trump buys into his own bullshit. He feels a feeling, and then in very short order that becomes his reality.

I don't understand the whole Hillary's health/energy thing. I mean, I can understand why they'd want HRC to be unwell, but it doesn't seem to be a practical problem unless she actually is unwell. Just pretending that she's too frail to campaign or whatever won't actually stop her from campaigning. It seems a delusion too far for me. What's going to happen at the debates? Is Trump just going to keep trying to prop her up with cushions and then pointing at her and staring at the camera?

I have unintentionally amused myself with this mental image now. Do join me in a brief chuckle.

It reminds me of the study of abusive parents posted in freep. Basically they focus on what is emotionally true. And facts get lost. Trump already admitted his mood effects how he values his brand. He probably remembers how he feels about events more than the events. Which then overshadow the event. So if someone made him upset, eventually it becomes truth that that person is mean or unfair because kids should love their parents, employees should be loyal, ect

Yes, because "TRUMP SAID WHAT??!!?!" only draws in viewers for so long. Look at what's happening with Hillary and the emails/Benghazi. People are all "Oh, so you have nothing new, ok" and turn on something else.

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Favorability is often a good initial indicator of who ends up winning an election, but we are in the unique situation this cycle of having two major candidates who are both underwater in that department. Most national candidates for president are well-liked by the general electorate.
