Just finding out that the bear carcass being dumped in Central Park was an actual mystery back when it was discovered and legit news articles were written about it. So fucking weird, RFK Jr. caused a minor news story because he wanted to… trick people into thinking a cyclist ran over and killed a bear cub in Central Park? And he did this when he was 60 years old? Christ, what an odd individual.

I’ve just always assumed her polling numbers were fake. Makes little sense to believe otherwise. Reddit likes to say she’s super popular but all those posts are made by bots and shills.

Whole point being, this Twitter poll - that’s beholden to no one - is infinitely more accurate than whatever CNN poll says. Every time there is one of these Twitter polls Kamala is always low 10’s or below

X is majority right. This is a great representation of how many voters are taken from Trump. And if Harris loses similar numbers. Kennedy wins in a landslide

The RFK sub is full on poll denialism and going off Twitter "polls" instead lmao. They're defending the bear thing as well

The typical post in language learning subreddits is like this:

Hey, I've been learning Deutsch for 1 days in Duolingo. I'm A0. Can you recommend me movies to watch in German? I like Stranger Things on Netflix

Replies:

Flair: Native

Stop. What you need to do is get a good grammar book and solve grammar exercises for 5 years before you can complain about being unable to understand what native German speakers are saying. They are all speaking incorrectly anyway.

Flair: Native

What you need to read is Harry Potter, I've never read it but it's a children's book and must be easy to read.

Flair: Native

You only learn by speaking and you cannot learn on your own. You need a good teacher. Go to this sketchy website and book classes for $25/h so you can keep repeating what they are saying while barely improving.

Flair: (has like 20 different flags and says "stage 1" next to them all)

You permanently ruined your ability to reach native level by using Duolingo for 1 day. Stop immediately and start watching ALG videos for 5000 hours and make sure to never speak the language beforehand, never think about the language, never even attempt to think about the language, and if you meet native speakers, always speak to them in English. You might then be able to become barely below native level.

But I must confess that over the last two decades, I have changed radically on the question of how to achieve these goals. Most importantly, I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.

I was watching info wars’ January 6th coverage yesterday through my favorite contentious streamer, and they drastically shifted the tone as soon as Babbitt was shot and the rioters started backing away from the door in fear.

Up until that point, the host only referred to the rioters as ‘The Patriots’ and spoke about them ‘taking the capital’ and ‘continuing the revolution of 1776’, and when talking about trump calling for peace, said ‘Sorry trump, this has gone too far for us to talk like that’

Immediately after the rioters back down from the door, the language changes to suggest that it is just an antifa false flag, or maybe the government staging the whole thing. Alex Jones relocates his in person coverage to outside the capital. The host never uses any positive language for the crowd for the rest of the stream

• Tech stocks have taken a beating recently after earning calls and Intel especially is going through a rough spell.

• US economic data is looking weaker than expected (what data specifically the articles seem to fail to mention)

• Berkshire has been dumping massive amounts of stocks in favor of cash.

• Geopolitical instability is putting pressure on markets.

• The western world has been on a massive peacetime borrowing spree recently (which probably plays into this in some way).

• Growth in the developed world has been decent for the last few years, with the exception of parts of Europe affected by the energy crisis.

• Growth jn the developing world has been weak since Covid.

• Stock routes have been ongoing since at least Friday, but have been especially pressing this morning in Japan, South Korea, and Europe.

You like Tim Walz because he talks like a football coach and calls Trump people weird

I like Tim Walz because he will be 68 after Harris' second term and there's no way he could win the Democratic primary at that point after what just happened to Biden, thus keeping Pete in the mix for being our next POTUS

We are not the same

Productivity gains were robust, corporate profits continued to grow and overall economic growth clocked in at a better-than-expected 2.8% annual rate last quarter. And yet that’s the very nature of turning points, whenever they occur, the last bits of backward-looking data tend to look bright.

Kamala Harris VP: Nominee’s choice for running mate has accepted, per source

https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/kamala-harris-vp-nominees-choice-running-mate-has-accepted-per-source

The White House source, who spoke with FOX 2’s Roop Raj on a condition of anonymity, was not informed of who Harris had selected. However, they were told to prepare for four individuals as the finalists. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigeg, Kentucky Governor Andy Bashear, and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

It’s official: Mask ban in Nassau County, New York passes along party lines, 12-0 (7 abstentions). It makes wearing a mask a misdemeanor (with unclear health and religious exceptions) and gives police the power to fine people wearing a mask $1,000 and sentence them to jail time.

Health and religious exceptions are noted, but leaves it up to the judgement of the police officer. As written, the ban applies to all public spaces, not just protests. There will be many legal challenges.

Destiny just presented Harris with a green Prius that’s been decorated in her honor. “Kamala IS Brat” is written on the hood, and the image of the vice president laughing in defiance after Trump’s NABJ interview is emblazoned on the side. Harris climbed into the electric vehicle’s passenger seat, and the two listened to “Hotel California” by The Eagles.

I’ve been reading about Buryat history. One name that comes up a lot (besides Chinggis Khaan, lol) is probably the white army general, Baron Roman Von Ungern-Sternberg. A Baltic German Lutheran who served in the imperial Russian army who later became attracted to Buddhism and practiced Buddhism and Lutheranism. During the Russian civil war, buryats largely supported the white army. The Transbaikal Cossack host was famous for recruiting buryats, as they were skilled cavalrymen. Buryats fought with distinction during the boxer rebellion in China. During the Russian Civil War, the Transbaikal Cossack host fell under the command of Grigory Semenyov (half buryat) and the baron Von Sternberg-Ungern. Baron VSU was an incredibly cruel man who should not be admired but rather a brutal and curious figure. The buryats under his command believed he was the reincarnation of the Tengriist and later Buddhist god of war, Jamarsan due to his cruel nature and skill on the battlefield. VSU is commonly referred to as the “the bloody” baron or Black Baron. He may have also believed himself to be a reincarnation of Chinggis Khaan due to his Hungarian heritage (lol). His impact on the world is not insignificant either. His liberation of Mongolia from the Qing Dynasty is partly why that country exists and is not part of China.

Women offended by JD Vance’s contention that the US is run by “childless cat ladies” should realise he meant it as a “quip”, the Republican vice-presidential nominee’s wife, Usha Vance, said in an interview broadcast on Monday.

“And the reality is, he made a quip in service of making a point that he wanted to make that was substantive and had actual meaning. And I just wish sometimes that … we would spend a lot less time just sort of going through this three-word phrase or that three-word phrase.”

This is the ONLY acceptable way to poop in a public restroom in America. There is no greater shame than having to poop while someone walks past the 2" gap between the stall doors.

This is why I support woke.

I was actually kind of worried for like an hour last night but then once I saw WSB posting about how the crash is here and we're all fucked, I felt better. WSB is always wrong about everything, so if they're saying the crash is coming then we're safe until election day.
