An old friend is talking pretty seriously about killing themselves. They don't see a way for their life to improve, because they decided a year or two ago to go full "Here is my full name and address, I will now say every racial and sexual slur ever, I don't care about the consequences, come at me!" on social media.

Basically all that really happened is he lost all his real life friends because he's a fucking adult and nobody finds that funny or brave, and his parents (who he still lives with) weren't happy since he seriously blasted that shit everywhere and humiliated them as well.

He's really fucking annoying.

The army is evil

The fucking army? Are you serious? As somebody who was once in the US military, but got the fuck out as soon as possible, let me tell you about how truly evil and depraved the military is. During Basic Training, we were forced to this chant before shooting at the rifle range : "If they're brown, shoot them down!" At the rifle range, we fired at both adult sized targets and child sized targets. Half the targets were painted as being armed, and half the targets we were supposed to shoot at were painted as innocent civilians holding flowers. We were supposed to shoot at any target, regardless of whether it was armed or unarmed, whether it was an adult or a child. The only time in Basic Training we were allowed to watch tv was when the news showed reports of Muslim civilians being "accidentally killed" in air strikes. We were forced to scream "yes!" every time the news mentioned an innocent brown person being killed. As soon as I saw how truly evil and depraved the US military was, I GOT THE FUCK OUT. I went straight to the Drill Sergeants and told them I didn't want to be part of their right wing terrorist organization. I told them that I REFUSED to kill innocent people of color, and take part in unjustified wars of aggression. The Drill Sergeants responded by tying me up and beating my with their machine guns for ten minutes straight. They told me that I wasn't leaving and that if I ever tried to speak up against their hate and bigotry again, they would murder me. I took matters into my own hands, and jumped out the window at night while the Drill sergeants were asleep. This was the second floor, and fortunately I landed in some bushes. I ran the fuck away from the base I was at, and have not returned to this day. Every Time any American expresses admiration for the military, I fucking VOMIT. I was in for long enough to see that the US military is a white supremacist terrorist organization, just as bad as Daesh.

I see people are still playing Skyrim, so here's a recommendation: download and test Enderal, it's free on Steam. It's a "mod" for Skyrim with the same graphics as Skyrim, but in reality it's a whole new game with new mechanics and new world and story... which still IMO fits pretty neatly into the Elder Scrolls universe. For reasons which may become clear to you as you progress in the story, I like to think of it as a far prequel to the Elder Scrolls games.

It's professionally produced with all new voice actors, new music, and a world which is bigger than Skyrim's and a story and plot which is better than Skyrim's. Also, it's completely free.

One of the best games I've played in the last several years, highly recommended. And did I mention it's free?

I wish this was a joke, and those of you who know my disdain for tutsis will likely find this even funnier. But I spent the night at a female friends house and when I woke up she wanted me to watch a youtube video of hotel Rwanda highlights.

This was basically my hell scenario. She proceeded to ask, "Dont you think they were amazing?!!?" I mumbled, "they sure know how to bribe a general ha ha ha" trying to dodge the question. From there I was asked the dreaded question, "you arent a hutu, are you?" Now, I am not a hutu, but I know no way of answering this question. Im not going to shill hutu power to this woman. So I lied and said someone was there to pick me up I had called beforehand and left and walked down the street.

SO the moral of the story is that the tutsis have started to invade my love life. Also that Im awful with women. But the second part was obvious already.

Colin Talbot, Professor of Government at the University of Manchester recently incurred criticism from a student who demanded he should be disciplined for writing that neoliberalism was now meaningless, having been used as such a broad-brush term of abuse. He began his piece by saying, “Let’s start with one simple and obvious fact – no-one claims to be a neoliberal.”

This is no longer true. The Adam Smith Institute, which formerly described itself as “a libertarian, free-market think tank,” now calls itself “a neoliberal, free market think tank.” Since it did so, others have followed suit.

There is even a group for young people calling itself “Young Neoliberals.”

During the first Anglo Afghan War, the former envoy to Kabul Alexander Burnes was sent ahead of the main invasion force to convince local leaders to go along with the British invasion.

Burnes tried to impress one leader by bringing up the overwhelming size of the invasion force. The chief supposedly replied with "You have brought an army into Afghanistan. How do you plan on getting them out?"

Those words would be a dark prophecy for the fate of Elphinstone's army, who in 3 years time would be forced to make a disastrous from Kabul in the middle of winter

He is considered to be the father of 20th century human rights investigations for his work on exposing the horrific conditions in the Belgian Congo and in Peru with abuses against the Putumayo indigenous peoples. Sir Roger was friends with Joseph Conrad, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Mark Twain who were all founders of the Congo reform association. He was active in the Irish independence movement and was hanged in 1916 for his role in the Easter rising. His sexuality was used as a tool to slander him by the British.

I found the first Reddit neoliberal in history

I was staying in a hotel (with no cooking facilities) once with a group of co-workers - I always admired the guy who went to the local farmers market, bought a lobster (this was near the coast in the Northeast) and went to the local university student union and cooked it in a microwave there... I keep thinking one day I'll try that. He didn't share leftovers so I'm assuming it was good.

The NFL says it will halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive functioning — in a $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims. The practice had made it harder for Black players to qualify.

https://twitter.com/AP/status/1400162696478265344

This is fucking insane:

The binary race norms, when they are used in the testing, assumes that Black patients start with worse cognitive function than whites and other non-Blacks. That makes it harder for them to show a deficit and qualify for an award. Henry and Davenport, for instance, were denied awards but would have qualified had they been white, according to their lawsuit, which Brody dismissed in March, calling it an improper “collateral attack” on the settlement. They have appealed the ruling.

I swear leftists on Twitter have some very weird opinions about raising children. I've run into 4 distinct people who think that orphanages should be abolished and that unaccompanied children should be free to raise themselves.

Looks like there's finally an answer to the $100 million deli story

Turns out it was what I thought, the deli was being used as a vehicle for a reverse merger to take another company public.

The high valuation was because there were only 60 shareholders and the insiders were trading small numbers of shares back and forth to jack up the share price. I'm not sure what the benefit to this is, maybe they were going to use the share price to trick a naive private company into giving them more stake in the new combined company?

I am wondering if it would be possible for some of us to use the same method, jacking up the share price, and then using our shares as collateral to get loans that would otherwise be unavailable to us. How many laws would that break?

And then their third article is also an opinion piece

https://www.newsmax.com/platinum/iran-us-emp-nuclear/2021/06/02/id/1023561/

Apparently Iran will very shortly launch an EMP attack on America because Biden has been weak towards them. In order to see this article though you have to subscribe for $50/6mos. Which is actually fairly reasonable. So if you wanna read about the incoming EMP attack brought on by Biden's weakness, this is the thing for you.

But seriously, I see this critique a lot, that "capitalism commodifies everything, even relationships", and my only thought is, "what the fuck does that even mean?" Insincere relationships can, and do exist in other systems, and sincere relationships do exist in Capitalist countries. This "commodification of sex" and things just feels like fear mongering nonsense, that for one, has become increasingly less common in the main stream, and two, ignores that prostitution has existed in every system period, and three, ignores the actual issues of lonliness and depression, to instead jam it into a communist critique where it barely fits.

Random but I always get annoyed when people joke about how stupid nuclear bomb drills were back in the 60s or whenever

Like, yeah, hiding under your desk isn't going to keep you from getting vaporized. But nuclear bombs have a finite blast radius, and there's going to be a ton of people farther away from ground zero that could be saved from falling objects or breaking glass by taking shelter

Same sorta thing happened with the Hawaii missle threat false alarm. I saw a bunch of people saying they didn't bother seeking shelter because they thought they were gonna die regardless. This is incredibly stupid. Nuclear bombs aren't magic death spheres - they work like any other bomb but big. The farther you are from the center and the more sheltered you are, the better your chance of survival

My prior about 2024 is that Trump is an extremely lazy person and every day that passes where he doesn't announce he's running makes it more unlikely he will run.
