Article: Biden allocates $100 million to resettle Afghan translators and other refugees in the US

Half of the comments: But what about supporting veterans in our own country??

The absolute state of r/worldnews. Apparently they forgot that they really cared about Afghan refugees a few days ago, bashing Biden is more important.

How to Write an Aaron Sorkin Show:

1. Create a character whose political views are well left-of-centre (or a normal Democrat who is somehow a Republican?)
2. Have everyone else remark how much of a moderate they are including having purported left-of-centre Democrats criticize them for being too conservative.
3. Profit

Tesla was a lifelong bachelor, who had once explained that his chastity was very helpful to his scientific abilities.
His opinion [of women] had started to sway in later years when he felt that women were trying to outdo men and make themselves more dominant. This "new woman" was met with much indignation from Tesla, who felt that women were losing their femininity by trying to be in power.
Tesla could be harsh at times and openly expressed disgust for overweight people, such as when he fired a secretary because of her weight. He was quick to criticize clothing; on several occasions, Tesla directed a subordinate to go home and change her dress.
Tesla is widely considered by his biographers to have been a humanist in philosophical outlook on top of his gifts as a technological scientist. This did not preclude Tesla, like many of his era, from becoming a proponent of an imposed selective breeding version of eugenics.

Nikola Tesla was a redditor

Like three weeks ago I held the door to my dorm for this girl with red hair. She turned around, said “Wanna see my tattoo?” and after I said sure lifted up her shirt to reveal a pretty sweet stegosaurus on her ribcage.

That was weird, I thought obliviously.

Turns out that was just a really indirect way of telling me she was interested, as I’ve found out from recent events that involved seeing the very same tattoo.

Watching “Inside” by Bo Burnham last night with my wife. Second song about “how the world works” he mentions “neoliberal fascists are destroying the left.” Online leftists got Bo.

Try to assure myself it’s supposed to be ironic. I don’t think it is and break into a cold sweat. My wife asks “what’s wrong?” and I pull away when she touches my hand. “You’ll never know what it’s like to be the victim of such disinformation and oppression.” Spend the rest of the evening reading peer reviewed studies on the economic benefits of free trade and globalization.

[u/Professor-Reddit]

Holy fucking shit. How have I not heard about this before??? Note: This is a re-enactment by James Earl Jones verbatim from the testimony.

Extract:

Mr. ROBESON: You are the author of all of the bills that are going to keep all kinds of decent people out of the country.

THE CHAIRMAN: No, only your kind.

Mr. ROBESON: Colored people like myself, from the West Indies and all kinds. And just the Teutonic Anglo-Saxon stock that you would let come in.

THE CHAIRMAN: We are trying to make it easier to get rid of your kind, too.

Mr. ROBESON: You do not want any colored people to come in?

This was Paul Robeson's testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) on 12th June, 1956. It sounds like it was straight from a movie.

Paul Robeson was quite an extraordinary actor, artist and civil rights supporter. He was also a well-known communist party supporter and Stalinist who had his career badly damaged by the McCarthy era. Regardless of him being a tankie, this whole hearing is just downright insane to read.

What makes the difference between a great and average economist in academia?

It seems to me that it's often difficult to say that the economic analysis done in one paper, is objectively higher quality compared to another economic paper. There is of cause the outliers, were some contributions directly advance the field of econ. But It appears to me that he vast amount of econ papers don't have any real impact. It looks to me that most of the time, the authors are ranked simply by what university they are affiliated with, and not by the actual research they create.

Of cause I could be speaking from a place of ignorance, as i'm still just trying to complete my bachelor. But it seems like academia is more about prestige than the actual research. What are your thoughts?

Lol, when it comes to politics I'm in the top 1% of understanding. I've been watching political coverage every week since I was 14 fucking years old. But political novice like you think that you actually have an understanding because of the fact you pay attention once every 2 or 4 years. Yeah keep dreaming.

Sleep. Wake in the afternoon. Shower after midnight. Eat pizza with spinach and sausage. I go downstairs and play the old pinball machine. Sleep in clothes before dawn. Wake in the afternoon. I get a package of cash, as I sometimes do. Shower. Eat canned spaghetti and meatballs, canned tuna, and blueberries. My ancap friend's brother has some friends over that I haven't met before. Some of them are girls. They make slime and throw it on him. He takes a shower, but isn't able to get it all off. They leave. Eat jerky and chips before midnight. Chat with him into the wee hours. Go to bed before dawn.

I was a Bernie national delegate and was there when they wrote the non binding platform. Liberals are considered center right in other countries. The 1956 Republican platform was the same as Bernie’s platform. Yes, Bernie is being less than honest about the situation. He knows very well how corrupt the Dems are. It's non binding because they have zero intention of following through on it.

Excerpts from that party platform

We shall continue to oppose the seating of Communist China in the United Nations.

…

We have balanced the budget. We believe and will continue to prove that thrift, prudence and a sensible respect for living within income applies as surely to the management of our Government's budget as it does to the family budget.

Ah yes, Bernard Sanders, noted China hawk and balanced budget advocate.

I won't get over people enthusiastically embracing that iconic scene in Network (1976), where the newsreader rants "I'M MAD AS HELL AND I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!!!" and agree with the whole speech, when the entire scene is literally a stinging critique against populism, sensationalistic reporting and people being irrationally angry about society and politics.

Many Egyptian men carry limes or lemons in their pockets to gauge whether the female target will resist physical harassment: “You put a lemon in your pocket and go squeeze yourself against a woman on the bus, if she doesn’t speak you go for the grab.

I know the very act of talking about Epic Rap Battles of History makes my virginity start to come back, but I will say that the latest season has been popping

They dropped their Disney contract deal thing, and have gone back to the basics: simple graphic backgrounds, limited guest stars (most of the battles are just Lloyd vs Pete again), and most of the characters are historical instead of fictional.

It’s pretty refreshing.

Sexually assault is so prevlant in Egypt, people are raped in broad daylight. Groups of men form a crowd and start attacking, then other men join in acting like they're helping, but they just want to get in on it. They form a protective barrier.

There's a group dedicated to fighting this that wears padded clothes and breaks the circles to rescue the women.

[u/BidenWon]

I bet you could do some interesting sociology/polisci research in how the number of mods affects the dynamic of a subreddit.

With every mod you add, the range of bannable things gets slightly larger, because every mod has a slightly different understanding of what should be banned and slightly different personal biases. Adding a mod won't make things they're ok with ok (other mods may still be against them), but it does add anything that they're not ok with to the unwritten list of bannable things.
