This is the natural life-cycle of slang.

They just fired two workers for organizing a protest against supporting Israel. You don’t have to make up conspiracy theories to convince people that Microsoft: Bad.

Step 1: damage your customers

Step 2: ?

Step 3: profit

This is a Neoliberal anthem: rights are for citizens; employees need to sit down and STFU.

Why do we reject tyranny.gov, but embrace tyranny.com?

I’m having trouble being outraged by a robber-Barron trying to influence American politics by controlling a media outlet, because to do so would imply that that is outside the norm or unusual in some way.

This isn’t even recent. We once occupied the Philippines and continue to occupy Guantanamo Bay behind the yellow journalism of rich cunt newspapermen Herst and Pulitzer who were in a competition to out lie each other, that was 1898.

The space shuttles were originally designed with 6 M2s mounted in the wings. It was mostly a tradition thing, but they cut the armament to save weight or something stupid. Fast forward to the Columbia disaster, and where does the fatal foam piece strike? Right in the firing line of old ma deuce.

Idiocracy is a funny movie that I enjoy. However I’m disturbed by the number of people who say it’s a documentary, or a warning. That’s because the central premise of the movie (that humans breed wrong and if nothing is done, we’ll devolve and society will collapse) also happens to be the central premise of Eugenics.

IQ does show differences between the races. However, this isn’t evidence that white supremacy is correct. It’s evidence that IQ testing measures culture when it’s supposed to be measuring biology.

Race is constructed. Genetic, evolutionary, anthropological, and archeological evidence all point to shared ancestry and kinship. All the people’s of the world aren’t separated by near enough distance or time to explain a significant biological difference. And that’s ignoring the wide interbreeding that was always a thing. Remember Rome was cosmopolitan empire. Many of those Roman soldiers who marched down the first paved roads of London were swinging black cocks.

So what can we make of a so called “objective” measure of a “biologically determined” trait that hews to culture above biology? This isn’t just a bias that needs to be tweaked, the whole concept of biologically determined intelligence is a reification fallacy and IQ as an instrument is hopelessly broken and should be abandoned.

Embarrassing the Russians at sea, without a Navy of your own, is so hot right now.

IDK about projection, but if you convince people that a system is corrupt, they’re much more likely to cheat.

You know, if people from the UK are going to make fun of southern American vernacular (skeeter), they should know that the dialect originated with antebellum anglophiles imitating the Victorian British.

If your in a position where the life or death terms have to be imposed or impressed on you, then that means you probably belong to one of the privileged classes who are probably going to be fine no matter who wins.

For people in our position, the expectation of empathy can be annoying. Like how I’m annoyed that you are expecting empathy now.

I think this deserves a closer look. This isn’t just affordable housing, but affordable housing in the middle of Downtown areas loaded with walking distance services, jobs, and public transportation. Moving working class people into urban areas is a good thing that can have a reverse-gentrification knock-on effect as the extra housing inventory pressures landlords to cut rents.

Considering that the Houthis have achieved so much more in the Red Sea than the Russians could manage in the Black, maybe the exchange of technical knowledge should be going the other way.

Being a chromium based browser, they’re fixing to loose access to the same features that’s killing Ublock. So in the near future, the Brave CEO is still going to be a cunt, but your ad-blocking is going to be forever inferior.

Nihilism (the philosophy) needs a new label. Like “retarded” or “manic depressive”, the common usage has overtaken the academic meaning. I’m not complaining, this is a natural and good process of language. Just saying we need a new term.

In the US, everyone has the right to a trial, in theory. However, if every defendant, or even a significant minority of them demanded their trial, the system would collapse.

To solve this problem. Prosecutors (lawyers working for the government) are given extraordinary power. They use their ability to charge any defendant with inflated charges that carry long jail sentences, then offer to reduce the charges if the defendant gives up their right to fight. Despite being obviously coercive and prone to force innocent people to confess, it’s perfectly normal, legal, and necessary to the US criminal system.

No, because the vegans are right, eating meat isn’t justifiable. You can’t “both sides” morality. The attempt is an admission that you’ve lost the plot.

Consider the possibility that your feelings of guilt or being judged is a call coming from inside the house.

The idea of “political neutrality” is naive or bad faith.

What you want is a right-wing sub. They pride themselves on being centrist, reasonable, and uncontroversial. You’re going to get lots of radical ideology, but don’t take it seriously bro, it’s just a joke.

Left subs may seem obnoxious with their politics, but that’s just because we’re trying to persuade you with argument instead of tricking you with flattery.

Hillary called him a Russian puppet to his face.
