Yep.

We have lots of military bases & people

That shot of the Coronado Ferry Landing would be the civilian half of the North Island military base represented in Top Gun looking back at downtown San Diego.

Naval Air Station North Island or NAS North Island (IATA: NZY, ICAO: KNZY, FAA LID: NZY), at the north end of the Coronado peninsula on San Diego Bay in San Diego, California, is part of the largest aerospace-industrial complex in the United States Navy – Naval Base Coronado (NBC), and the home port of several aircraft carriers of the United States Navy.

Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the major West Coast base of the United States Marine Corps and is one of the largest Marine Corps bases in the United States. It is on the Southern California coast in San Diego County and is bordered by Oceanside to the south, San Clemente and Orange County to the north, Riverside County to the northeast, and Fallbrook to the east.

Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (MCAS Miramar) (IATA: NKX, ICAO: KNKX, FAA LID: NKX), formerly Naval Auxiliary Air Station (NAAS) Miramar and Naval Air Station (NAS) Miramar, is a United States Marine Corps installation that is home to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, which is the aviation element of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force. It is located in Miramar, San Diego, California, about 14 miles (23 km) north of Downtown San Diego.

Marine Corps Recruit Depot (commonly referred to as MCRD) San Diego is a United States Marine Corps military installation in San Diego, California. It lies between San Diego Bay and Interstate 5, adjacent to San Diego International Airport and the former Naval Training Center San Diego. MCRD San Diego's main mission is the initial training of enlisted male and female recruits living west of the Mississippi River. Over 21,000 recruits are trained each year. As of 2022, 1.5 million recruits have completed their boot camp training at the Depot. The Depot also is the home to the Marine Corps' Recruiter School and Drill Instructors School.

Naval Base Coronado (NBC) is a consolidated Navy installation encompassing eight military facilities stretching from San Clemente Island, located seventy miles west of San Diego, California, in Los Angeles County, California, to the Mountain Warfare Training Camp Michael Monsoor and Camp Morena, located sixty miles east of San Diego.

Naval Base Point Loma (NBPL) is located in Point Loma, a neighborhood of San Diego, California. It was established on 1 October 1998 when Navy facilities in the Point Loma area of San Diego were consolidated under Commander, Navy Region Southwest. Naval Base Point Loma consists of seven facilities: Submarine Base, Naval Mine and Anti-Submarine Warfare Command (previously Fleet Anti-Submarine Warfare Command), Fleet Combat Training Center Pacific, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), Naval Information Warfare Center (NIWC) Pacific, the Fleet Intelligence Command Pacific and Naval Consolidated Brig, Miramar. These close-knit commands form a diverse and highly technical hub of naval activity. The on-base population is around 22,000 Navy and civilian personnel.

Naval Base San Diego, also known as 32nd Street Naval Station, is the second largest surface ship base of the United States Navy and is located in San Diego, California. Naval Base San Diego is the principal homeport of the Pacific Fleet, consisting of over 50 ships and over 150 tenant commands. The base is composed of 13 piers stretched over 1,600 acres (650 ha) of land and 326 acres (132 ha) of water. The total on base population is over 24,000 military personnel and over 10,000 civilians.

Just a few

1. Dave is lucky to be black at this moment in time.

2. The audiences laugh just fine. It's all the bloggers and internet offenders who are so triggered and wanting to banish people.

That's why Ricky Gervais has turned out 2 or 3 specials in a row and just keeps doubling down........cuz the audiences are laughing.

Not a fan of Gervais.

He was the bad guy in an animation I was watching yesterday or today. I was sort of happy when he got flushed down a giant toilet.

Give his series After Life a try...........it's about a sad and depressed guy that lost the love of his life and doesn't really wanna go on anymore.

It's very touching

Thanks for another amazing 12 months. You made #AfterLife the most watched British comedy for the 4th year in a row and helped it clock up 120 million views. You voted for it to win loads of awards, and it even overtook The Office. Quite incredible. You also made #SuperNature the most watched stand up special and raised nearly half a million dollars for animal charities by buying platinum tickets to see it live. You are the best fans in the world. Happy New Year!

Most entertainers just want to be seen.
Remember the Bill Maher bit about complaining when the audience boos. His rants about Covid-19 keeping him from having a live audience. His happiness about the mask mandate ending so he could see his audience's faces.

Or pay the bills.
Michael Caine & Nicholas Cage both admit to making bad films just to pay the bills.

He's in the same area as Don Rickles.
Insult humor.
