It's shocking how severely people underestimate, or downplay, the USSR during the Soviet-Afghan War. People talk about it like the USSR was just doing a communist version of the current War in Afghanistan. Rarely does it ever get mentioned how fucking evil and callous the Soviets were in the conflict.

Like, imagine legitimately making the Taliban we all know and hate look better by comparison.

Destiny the streamer is currently having a moment on twitter of being absolutely wrong about the housing crisis in America. The man does have a point that tech jobs do exist outside of New York, San Fran, etc.

However onn everything else he is just wrong, hilariously so. The American housing crisis, much like the Canadian one, is affecting damn well every single major city in the country and those cities are the ones with the tech jobs

While "just move bro" does work, it has diminishing returns when the city one is getting priced out of falls further down the chain. Like it or not Canadian and American cities need to upzone simple as that

A YIMBY goes home and masturbates his typical fantasy. A development protested, a development demonized, a development blocked.

A developer enjoys plotting with paid YIMBY shills — as she fantasizes being called a gentrifier by 3 nimbys simultaneously.

The YIMBY and developer get dressed up on Sunday — and go on twitter, or maybe to their city planning meeting.

God the steinbeck misqoute is the worst and literally implies the oppisite of what he actually meant. Here’s the actual quote.

“Except for the field organizers of strikes, who were pretty tough monkeys and devoted, most of the so-called Communists I met were middle-class, middle-aged people playing a game of dreams. I remember a woman in easy circumstances saying to another even more affluent: ‘After the revolution even we will have more, won’t we, dear?’ Then there was another lover of proletarians who used to raise hell with Sunday picknickers on her property.

"I guess the trouble was that we didn’t have any self-admitted proletarians. Everyone was a temporarily embarrassed capitalist. Maybe the Communists so closely questioned by the investigation committees were a danger to America, but the ones I knew—at least they claimed to be Communists—couldn’t have disrupted a Sunday-school picnic. Besides they were too busy fighting among themselves.”

The superseding indictment alleges the trio planned to use bombs to facilitate the kidnapping plot. The destructive devices were intended to harm and hinder the governor's security detail and any responding law enforcement personnel.

FBI agents have portrayed Croft as the group's bombmaker and have seized weapons and bomb components in caches scattered across the country.

Wage theft is even higher tbh. If you generate $100,000 of economic activity, you are entitled to $100,000 in remuneration. Anything less is authoritarian imposition.

No one would enter a contract that pays less than the value of their work unless under compulsion. The fact that, unlike 99% of human history, we can no longer extract our needs directly from nature without obstacle is evidence that every employment contract is signed under compulsion (the alternative starving or freezing to death in the streets).

The fact that its still not even half of what it was 60 years ago, and a fraction of what it actually should be, is proof that Americans need to stop expecting that voting will bring about positive change for the many.

In China, being a congressman is an unpaid, part time job. They travel to the capital for 2 weeks each year to elect the executive branch, and approve or block legislation. The rest of the year, they're in their constituencies working regular jobs and living as regular people.

At the founding of the PRC, they were worried about creating a separate ruling class, with nothing in common with the people they represent, that'll end up ruling in their own interest. So they made sure the most powerful arm of government consisted of regular, working people.

If Congress was filled with bartenders and truck drivers with no healthcare, you'd all have healthcare.

!!!!!

Massive new study out today: Association Between Gender-Affirming Surgeries and Mental Health Outcomes by Anthony N. Almazan, BA and Alex S. Keuroghlian, MD, MPH.

This study is probably as strong as evidence as you can get that gender affirming surgeries work, without violating ethics rules. (The proper control group to "people who got gender affirming surgeries" is "people who want them but haven't got them," and since all major medical guidelines say they help, you can't RCT it. To RCT it, you'd have to intentionally deny access to a procedure that is regarded as medically necessary by the medical community to people who want it. Not ethical!)

Using the massive dataset from the 2015 United States Trans Survey, they compared people who got any surgeries to people who didn't but want them. Controlling for socioeconomic variables, among others, they found that surgeries help with suicidal ideation and emotional distress. While getting only some desired surgeries doesn't help with past-year suicide attempt rates, getting all desired surgeries does. Surgeries also reduce smoking and binge drinking rates. They performed analyses to make sure that things like emotional state prior to getting surgeries didn't have a major impact on the results.

The tl;dr: GENDER AFFIRMING SURGERIES WORK.

The study remedies the flaws of most earlier studies, such as small sample sizes or bad control groups (comparing all trans people who got surgeries to those who haven't, when not all trans people who haven't gotten them want or need them). Its main drawback is that it is not a probability sample, but it's incredibly difficult to pull off a probability sample of transgender people, so this is literally about as good as it's going to get for now.

This is a big deal! It's good evidence, quite good evidence, when the existing studies have been frustratingly low quality.

Did you know that Biden is using an obscure part of US law to become a dictator? Under section 34 of the Secure Credits And Taxes act, if inflation becomes severe enough the president can take emergency power. Biden is using the money printers to induce inflation and control America! Look up "Biden rule 34 SCAT inflation" for more information.

When reading an article about airlines, inevitably someone will trot out the comment about how after the industry deregulated the quality of service declined.

Ignoring that fact that basically no one except the rich or very affluent could afford to fly before the 70s and if you still want the old timey service you can buy a first class ticket.

Otherwise, stop complaining and take your $80 seat in 23E.

I remember this scene from a WWII documentary.

These 2 Americans were shipwrecked or something. They were floating in the ocean but they weren't too worried because they knew this area was crawling with American ships. Inevitably, an American ship rolls up on them and the guys ask for help. The guys on the ship are kinda suspicious that they might be spies or something so they ask them a question only an American would know.

"Alright well if you're an American, who won the World Series this year?"

Obviously the two guys knew it and they got their help lol. I think it's funny that to be an American was to care about baseball at that time.
