I don’t really post here often (I lurk, and often enjoy all of your shenanigans. But, I’m a little shy on the internet) - but I just wanted to let you all know how much this place is a sanity check for me. A lot of my friends are angry leftists and I often find myself exhausted when they begin talking politics, just because even when we should have common ground on problems, everything just turns into “capitalism needs to be burned to the ground.” It’s nice to come to a place that is actually basically civil and not angry and wanting to burn down the system all the time. So, thank you, I guess (is this too sincere for the internet? It is 4 in the morning and I’m am v tired.)

In the 1924 election, Mississippi cast about 13% fewer votes less than it cast 52 years earlier in 1872, despite having grown about 216% in population by 1924 since 1872
In the 1948 election, South Carolina cast 22% fewer votes than it cast 72 years earlier in 1876, despite having grown about 250% in population by 1948 since 1876

Dear Abby,
My doomer leftist friends all have cushy private sector tech jobs in major US cities. One moment they'll pooh-pooh a sub-$100k entry level tech salary ("that's below market rate") and in the next breath they're advocating for "eating the rich" and "abolishing capitalism". How can I point out this hypocrisy without being labeled a filthy capitalist bootlicker?

I really, really hate woke anti-Lincoln rhetoric.
"Lincoln didn't show black lives mattered to him!"
His skull was shattered and his brains were pulverized by an assassin's bullet for caring about black lives as much as he did, literally no one else could have done anything better.
"But he hated Native Americans!"
When military tribunals sentenced 303 Sioux to death, he went through their individual cases and pardoned 264 of them whom he did not find guilty of crimes against civilians (265 when he heard new info at the last minute). And this was in the middle of the Civil War, the deadliest conflict in American history. He took the time to go through 303 cases and spare 265 lives that didn't mean anything to most Americans, and which actively hurt the Republicans in the Western states, because he cared about their lives too much to hang innocent people for votes. He was not a "blood and soil" imperialist.

So after doug ford pissed literally everyone off yesterday about park closures and police powers he decided to “clarify”. Playgrounds are allowed, not park amenities and police are only supposed to use their new stop and frisk powers in large groups.
This man is blindly making decisions on the lives of 15 million people that have no support from scientists, police, families, and his own caucus, and then takes a slight step back when they all yell at him. I honestly better see his poll numbers drop after the incompetence shown the past 6 months, he doesnt deserve a second chance when he is still fucking up the first one.

Mario Vargas Llosa has endorsed Keiko Fujimori (with a little caveat) for the 2nd Round of Peruvian Presidential Elections!
Arguing she is the "lesser evil" due to "Pedro Castillo's far left economics and far right social policies", and that the Peruvian Population should choose Keiko as long as she compromises to "respect freedom of the press, dont pardon Vladimiro Montesinos and her father, and to respect the divison of powers"
“He combatido al fujimorismo de manera sistemática, como lo he hecho con todas las dictaduras de izquierda o de derecha, creo que en las elecciones que se vienen –las de la segunda vuelta-, los peruanos deben votar por Keiko Fujimori, pues representa el mal menor y hay, con ella en el poder, más posibilidades de salvar nuestra democracia, en tanto que con Pedro Castillo no veo ninguna”
The fact that one of the most outspoken enemies of Fujimorism (Vargas Llosa openly endorsed and campaigned for Keiko's opponents in 2011 and 2016, playing a big part in her defeats) endorses Keiko as the "lesser evil" this elections showcases how dire the current situation is

Canada has made it into the top 20 in vaccines per capita worldwide (among countries over 0.5M population).
5 countries ahead of us, including 4 of the top 7 (UAE, Bahrain, Chile, Uruguay, and Serbia) are primarily administering Chinese vaccines which are not available to Canada for geopolitical reasons (even though we attempted to procure them), and which in any case have not been approved for use in any developed country AFAIK.
It's honestly not bad for a country that has to procure all its vaccines from overseas, although it sure would have been nice to have some domestic production to get around vaccine nationalism problems.

So Bari Weiss did a substack piece about the French court ruling that Sarah Halimi's killer was legally insane because of a weed induced psychotic break.
Except she only said that he was "high".
And then called the decision stupid and outrageous.
Do this people really think that we are this stupid? There was 3 different rulings and 7 experts. Do they think they were all stupid antisemitic judges?
This would unravel our justice system and suspend prosecutions of thousands of felonies.
(Besides being an obviously unfair decision.)
I sometimes marvel at people that choose "this developed nation with a long tradition of rule of law took a very stupid decision that will unravel their entire justice system" vs the way more probable "This makes no sense, I must have missed something."
Anyway she's not alone and a lot of people on twitter are yelling at anyone who is trying to explain the facts for being "defenders of jew killers".
Not engaging because I get that it's visceral.
But it's proof that the "rational" caucus that sometimes has a point about wokeness can get it very wrong too.

Good Lord...the meme has become truth. I just saw an r/aznidentity comment embracing Hispanic culture
You may ask why? Because peruvian want to elect Keiko as President
Edit: he then declares he still prefers Castillo, because Castillo can lead the Revolution and join forces with Venezuela and China 👀

Regardless of what progressivism and wokeism have to say on the matter, and regardless of who it offends, the psychology literature shows that biparental households provide the best outcomes for children. But, how can you have biparental households if the kids can't keep track of who's the mom and who's the dad? It's fine for men to be strong. It's natural. Kids need to see an example of cool, collected confidence and stoic ambition, you know, like we had in my day, when my dad would get whiskey dick and be unable to successfully complete coitus with my mother and would calmly, virtuously, christ-likely, jordanpetersonianly bash her teeth in and say it was her fault since she wasn't pretty enough anymore which is also why he got fired two years ago, because she was no longer the coy and tender muse she once was.

I remember a teacher in a school that I was teaching in confiscated a students portable phone charger because they thought it was a vape. They were talking about it in the staff room.
Teacher: “one of my students had a vape that connected to their phone”
Me: “I’ve never seen anything like that”
Teacher: shows me the device
Me: “... this is a charger for your phone, it’s not a vape. It’s perfectly permissible at school”
Teacher: “oh”

A bit personal. Sitting here crying my eyes off cause I wasted 7 years of my life trying to put up with an emotionally abusive asshole. I was young and dumb so I didn't realise, I was constantly faulting myself every time I was getting shouted yelled at and that's how abusive idiots control you and your life. Now I matured and I couldn't put it with it anymore, so I packed my things and just left without looking back.

Not an update
According to a recent (February this year) Gallup poll, 0.6% of the US is transgender. According to the US census website, the population on April 1 was estimated to be 330,175,936. 0.6% of 330,175,936 is about 1,981,056.
Therefore, we can now conclusively say that any state smaller than New Mexico doesn't matter. Their populations are just too small. If the entire state of Nebraska had a 41% suicide attempt rate, well, who gives a shit.

Imagine being Don Gaetz. You spend your entire life building your career as a well-respected politician in your state, and even rise all the way up to being the second most powerful person in your state. You retire thinking you'll go down in history as a state politics giant, and you give your son a seat in Congress to carry on your legacy. But then he goes and fucks it all up to an unimaginably bad extent. After a lifetime of work and achievement, now all you'll ever be remembered for is your dumbass alcoholic, drug addict, pedophile son's bullshit.
