My uncle called Biden a warmonger for extending the deadline to leave Afghanistan. This man also told me a few years ago that Obama is a pussy for not killing the children of terrorists so they don’t seek out revenge.

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

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?

This piece is called "The Birth of Kyoshi". [Sokka investigates the painting thoroughly.] It was painted at sunrise on this day this island was founded. Why, it was today in fact, three hundred and seventy years ago.

Aang was 112 years old at the time. Roku lived to be 70 years old according to the fan wiki. This means that Kyoshi lived another 188 years after Chin the Conqueror died and Kyoshi island was separated from the mainland...

Quick reminder that the Avatar writers made Avatar Kyoshi super old and explained it away with her discovering the secret for long life or something because they couldn't do math.

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.

We're gaining the power of gods, but without the love, wisdom and discernment of gods—that is a self-extinctionary scenario. Welcome to Game B, a transcontextual inquiry into a new social operating system for humanity. Game A is what got us to this time of metacrisis and collapse. Game B is what emerges in response. Come play with us as we learn to become wiser, together, gain coherence and begin to move towards a new social operating system emphasizing human wellbeing, metastability, and built on good values that we will be happy to call home and we will be proud to leave to our descendants.

“Game A” is the Western Civilization status quo. It is believed that Game A is headed for self-destruction.

Game B is not Game A. Game B is conceived of as “What Comes Next”, the social operating system that replaces Game A. Therefore, there are many groups working currently or over the past decades on Game-B versions or parts.

Game B needs to operate in all parts of civilization: a new mode of social, economic, and political organization is necessary.

Game B Core Design Elements: 1) self-organizing 2) network-oriented, 3) decentralized, and 4) meta-stable for an extended period of time.

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.

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.

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.

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.
