A Reddit user claims he bumped into the former Republican presidential nominee at his local fill-up station last night, and posted this shaky Loch Ness monster-esque photograph to prove it. The time, location, and even the subject of the image are not fully confirmed, but it sure does look like Mitt Romney?a less neater than we're used to seeing him?filling up his car with regular unleaded. The picture was posted to the website last night around midnight and quickly zoomed to the top of the front page.

The Redditor, mkb95, says the photo was snapped in his home town of La Jolla, California, where Romney does indeed own a home and is reportedly planning to settle down (retire?) following his last election defeat. He says he chatted up Romney, who was obviously without security guards or drivers, for a few minutes, before they both went on their way.

Yeah uh... we aren't interested. Sorry. Not being rude to you, just saying, he didn't win the Presidency so he really isn't relevant for most of us anymore.

People who don't pay their taxes.

Proof? The CEO of my company pays his taxes. Try again trolling somewhere else with your nonsense. Even Romney paid the amount he was legally required to pay. Just because you don't understand our tax system doesn't mean everyone else doesn't either. Get educated and stop following retarded conspiracy theorists.

I have to agree with her. After having lost the election Mitt Romney is entirely irrelevant now.

Also, Charisma is far from being a Democrat...

Well, that may be the first time I have ever been accused of being a Democrat in my life :laugh:

My point was simply that the average person does not have any need to learn about him as he is no longer a potential influence in their life.

Actually they said most. Do you know how the concept of zeitgeist works?

Also generally people don't take the advice of people who try to play the race card by using the POTUS middle name in not-as-subtle-as-they-think attempts to link him to Saddam Hussein.

His name is Barack Obama. His middle name is Hussein.

Do you call everyone by their middle and last name avoiding their first name, or is he just special?

Think carefully before you answer.

Wow... I knew democrats pull the race card all the time but now over a middle name? I go by my middle name. I must be a racist. At this point I would say you are the racist, claiming anyone that doesn't like Obama is a racist. There is a such thing as reverse racism and you are guilty of it and it is just as dispicable as regular racism. You can ignore peoples posts you know. Instead you choose to label everyone that doesn't agree with you as racist using any excuse you can find. Pathetic. Welcome to my ignore list. I don't talk with racists.

Great comeback. Well thought out rebuttal. I am swayed to your side.

The CEO of my company is a millionaire making him part of the 1%. He pays his taxes. Your entire thought that they don't pay their taxes is just dumb. Bill Gates pays taxes. He lets the whole world see it. Or is that a lie to according to your conspiracy theories?

Feel free to add me. You know what point I was making. To deny that point or ignore it merely puts you in the same camp.

I was hoping you were more intelligent than that. Once again I am taught that hope is usually a futile exercise.

Edit - He admitted it was playing the race card...which only proves my point. So you ignore me for supposedly falsely accusing someone of playing the race card, when they admit to it.

Now that's why I call burying your head in the sand. Oh well.

You're posting in a thread about a multi-millionaire who pays less tax than most cleaners and pretending that tax avoidance doesn't happen. You're either hopelessly naive or deliberately ignorant.

2. @Charisma no democrat? ok, there are besides democrats only one other group bashing romney all the time. the gingrich and santorum wing of the republican party. and they are even worse than obama.

Oi, where did I bash him? Just because I don't gush all over him the way you do, I'm "bashing" him?

Also, I think you are the one who needs to step down from the "high horse", with your assumptions. Not everyone plays the silly two-party game in the US, and I don't like Obama, Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich. Get some perspective, man.

I don't believe it's a democrat or republican issue... everyone is tried of your posts, I still don't get why you feel so strongly about someone you don't know, have never met, and you don't even live in the country where he ran for president. What is your infatuation? It's borderline creepy honestly...

    • Hey Google, these are the Gemini features I want in 2026

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.

      I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant"

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters

    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By +DDG3595 · Posted

      A lot of uncertainty in this story. Might. Could. Maybe. The truth is we don't know what will happen to the universe in the end, or if it will end. Our own Milky Way galaxy will merge with the Andromeda galaxy in about 2.5 billion years, with our solar system as part of a new, larger cluster. I guess we'll have to and see how it goes down.
