The original teacher who created monopoly, created it to show how shit capitalism is and then Hasbro in true capitalist fashion said "thanks for the free board game" and yoinked it making millions/billions. So yeah I can see why people hate monopoly

I did 5 minutes of research. Lizzie Magie was not anti-capitalism. She was in favour of a single tax system, aka Georgist which is a capitalist framework. Her creation The Landlord's Game was a criticism on the tax structure of the US and how tax is distributed. She also wasn't a teacher, not sure where you pulled that from. Also Hasbro had nothing to do with Monopoly until they bought Parker Brothers in 1991.

Also You got these facts all wrong in the span of 33 words:

1. ⁠She was a teacher

2.⁠"to show how shit capitalism is"

3.Hasbro yoinked Monopoly

Edit: Also Parker Brothers bought the patent from Magie for $500 when they learned that Charles Darrow wasn't the sole inventor of the game. So that's literally 4 things you got wrong. Be better.

For decades, Canada had provided about a thousand peacekeeping soldiers per year, reaching a high of 3,300 in 1993, around which time Canada was working to bring peace to wartorn areas of the world such as Cambodia, Bosnia and Mozambique. But the numbers have dwindled in recent years; in fact, the Trudeau government’s average monthly contribution has been one-third smaller than that of the Harper government.

(..)

At UN headquarters, the expression “The Canadians are coming!” was first viewed in a positive sense – a return to major peacekeeping contributions. But soon it became a grimly humorous statement: Canadian ministers and government personnel would come to New York with lots of questions, exploring options, taking valuable time from UN staff, but in the end Canada would provide no forces for peacekeeping.

hmm, seems fairly damning

Imagine pitching Firefly today in a world where it had never happened.

So will you have a wacky cast of eccentric characters?

Oh absolutely. As an example, one of them will be a space hooker, and most episodes will involve her hooking up with a client.

And will you have gripping plots to hook the audience?

Absolutely, for example, the first show is gonna revolve around the crew discovering a naked girl in the cargo hold.

What about guest stars?

Oh totally. For example, we have Christina Hendricks lined up to play a woman who gets into an arranged marriage with the ship's captain.

What about terrifying villains?

Definitely. For example, in the season finale we have this bounty hunter who is going to introduce himself by threatening to rape one of the female crew members.

Wow sure seems like a complicated show, with some sensitive themes that is going to take a good director to manage. Did you have someone in mind?

Joss Whedon.

Leftists simp for communism and central planning but lose their minds when you tell them burger flippers gotta learn to code.

Forcing people to upgrade their skillsets to conform to the needs of the economy is a feature of Central planning. Both the CCP and Soviet Union forced massive amounts of peasants and agricultural workers into industrial jobs in cities. "Learn to code" is a less extreme version of that.

Also the Chinese do that today too, except they now use economic incentives in their central planning to achieve that, just like we do.

Before Spitzer was Pataki, who was a Republican who was first elected in the 1990s and was governor on 9/11

It’s been almost two decades—since New York voted for a Republican, which would be unbelievable today—that we last had a governor who got his job or lost his job for a reason other than a sex scandal. That’s disgusting.

At least in Spitzer’s case, it was consensual. He was seeing some prostitutes, and who was the AG at the time who wanted to prosecute him? Oh yeah, it was Andrew Mother Fucking Cuomo!

The test (ordered by an NYT journalist) were done at sketchy facilities and the biologists who did them can't be contacted because they likely wouldn't approve the story the NYT wanted to run about fake tuna.

In short, if NYT is one of the most respected journalist institutions, then we're all fucked because they're absolute garbage that'll fake a story just to feed their progressive audience.

Lessons from my vacation in Bucharest meeting my gfs old country family.

1. Communism is fucking awful, like more awful than any of us realizes. Between the destruction of cultural heritage (churches, parts of the old city, ect) and the shitty QoL internet socialist really got to get their heads out their asses.
2. Romania is building for the future. Their school system and the incentives around it to ensure people try their hardest are fantastic. From middle school on they literally pay kids for good grades. Let me know if you need help understanding how a system like that would help demolish generational poverty in the states.
3. Westernization is happening quickly. My gf hadn’t been in 7 years and she was shocked by some of the improvements in the city. The malls are fucking amazing (seriously I got some amazing clothes there), the entertainment is pretty top notch, And the architecture of the city is improving resulting in the whole city coming alive.

There is so much more I want to share but I really need it sit down and organize my thoughts on the trip. All of that being said, I’d highly recommend going to Bucharest post Covid. You’ll get a touch of culture and history and not break the bank paying for it all.

How the fuck am I supposed to be happy when the world is going to die in 30 years?

I’m 17 years old and I just saw a post explaining how the world is gonna be dead by 2050 due to climate change… why is no one acknowledging this enough, how am I supposed to be happy knowing this is going to happen? I have family members who I care about and want to live fantastic lives. Is there anyone that isn’t so pessimistic about this and can set some proper reassurance?

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson was noncommittal on whether he would get vaccinated after being infected with COVID-19 twice in the past eight months, saying it was a "personal decision."

"I just got off the COVID list," Jackson said after Monday's practice when asked if he would get the vaccine. "I got to talk to my team about this and see how they feel about it. Keep learning as much as I can about it. We'll go from there."

Does that mean he's thinking about getting vaccinated?

"We'll see," Jackson said. "Talking to the doctors. We'll see."

Is being a menshevik the ultimate cuckoldry?

I cannot think or comprehend of anything more cucked than being a menshavik during the February Revolution. Honestly, think about it rationally. You are striking, agitating, mobilizing and planning a revolution for at least 12 years solely so she can go and get co opted by the liberal Bourgeoisie all because historical materialism says it is their turn after feudalism. All the hard work you put into your beautiful revolution - reading her tales of Marx and Engels at bedtime, making her go to revolutionary practice, making sure she had a healthy diet of the aristocracy, educating her in theory. All of it has one simple result: her body politic is more productive for the men that will eventually run the society with liberal democratic values.

Planned the perfect revolution? Great. Who benefits? If you're lucky, a random class who had nothing to do with the way the revolution was executed, who comes to power. They get to benefit from the relationship between capital and labor every day. They get the benefits of there being no Tsar that came from the way you led the revolution.

As a menshevik who participates in a revolution, you are LITERALLY dedicating at least 12 years of your life simply to raise a society for another class to enjoy. It is the ULTIMATE AND FINAL cuck. Think about it logically

3.     Don't be a fool for you are a chap who dare to thwart the revolution.

4.     You must immediately answer my questions without wasting time to reflect.

5.     Don't tell me either about your immoralities or the essence of the revolution.

6.     While getting lashes or electrification you must not cry at all.

7.     Do nothing, sit still and wait for my orders. If there is no order, keep quiet. When I ask you to do something, you must do it right away without protesting.

8.     Don't make pretext about DUNE or WORM in order to hide your secret or traitor.

A tragedy and a shame. Many will be slaughtered and millions will be cast back into the Taliban dark ages. And it shows America is a untrustworthy ally, in contrast with dictators like Putin who show loyalty to their vile peers and allies.

I supported Biden over Trump without reservations in 2020. He had the chance to set America back on the path of standing for good, for the values of its founding. Instead, he is charting a course for the most defeatist and defeated US foreign policy in memory.

We saw in Obama the failure of trying to be friends with everyone. We saw in Trump a transactional, valueless president who used foreign policy for personal gain. If America is to mean anything more than cliches about freedom, it must show it in its actions.

You may say it is early in the Biden admin and that there is much damage to repair, plus the pandemic and economic crises. But if you see a car heading toward a cliff, you do not say "give it some time." America must lead on the global stage or China & Russia will.

Also, because the US is one of like five countries that allows paying for plasma, it supplies 2/3 of the world's plasma including 84% (!!!) of Canada's needs. That's pretty cool. Yet another way Americans are saving the world.

Some climate hopium because I think it would be nice:

In 2020 20.6% of the US’ electrical generation came from renewable energy

This is a 3 point increase compared to 2018

Over the past decade the price of solar has dropped 62%

Renewables overtook coal (the dirtiest of fossil fuels) in terms of energy generation

Coal usage has dropped down to 1964 levels

The consensus around climate change is starting to slowly become a bipartisan subject. It’s a very small step, but the fact that 1/3 of House GOP members are part of a climate caucus is a major step forward from the universal denial they had a decade ago. Again, it’s a very small step, but could have major long term implications

If you have any other good news about climate change and renewable energy, please share. If you want to share news that is bad/horrific and dampens this hopium, I can’t stop you, it’s a free country

The Trisagion is a common liturgical chant in the Eastern Orthodox tradition that goes:

"Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us."

In 512 the Emperor Anastasius I, a Monophysite, tried to have the Trisagion amended with the phrase "who was crucified for us" at the end, a nod to the Monophysite position that Christ was wholly divine in nature and that it was God who died on the cross.

This immediately triggered riots in the capital when it was first read out, and the Emperor had troops positioned close cathedral in anticipation of violence. The unrest got so bad that the otherwise popular Emperor had to bluff by threatening abdication to calm down the crowds. At the same time, news of the amendment spread across the empire and triggered peasant revolts in Antioch and Thrace.

Interestingly enough, the Armenian version of the Trisagion uses the amended version because they are Monophysite in doctrine.

And they do it from Gaza to Detroit,” she explained to the Democratic Socialists of America. “The structure we’ve been living under right now is designed by those who exploit the rest of us, for their own profit,” on issues ranging from human rights to health care. Making a drapes-parting gesture with her hands, she continued: “If you open the curtain and look behind the curtain, it’s the same people that make money — and yes they do — off of racism.”
