Reminding you again that your biggest enemies are not the fat, retarded, infertile demon worshipers but the fit, loving, conservative cops and feds who will shoot your dog and lock you away because a fat, retarded, infertile demon worshiper told them to
Flights should be chaotic, preachers wandering the aisles speaking in tongues soliciting donations, everyone brought something to sell or trade, there are goats stabled by the restrooms, betting on an amateur boxing match in first class, allow kids in the cockpit again

Man it's just crazy that a tribe of Indo-Europeans moved south and established a Plato's Republic-style biological caste system and they're just over there, still, doing their sci-fi society thing and nobody's been able to stop it
indian massacre wikipedia articles are all "The peaceful natives were angered by the fraudulent purchase of their ancestral land and were forced to scalp old women and tomahawk babies"
Everyone in the past lived in cramped one room houses and drank hard liquor because the water was bad and got married at 11 and died of old age at 23.5 and ran daily risk of a noble disemboweling them for fun and ate translucently thin bread slices and were very diverse actually
FYI, "biblical sex" is with your parents in the room. And your kids. Multiple generations in a household, usually one or two rooms.
There's a lot of history we just let roll off the table when we're exegeting passages to arrive at a sexual ethic that is familiar to use.
you do not want a "based" gf, you want a gf who is radically indifferent to politics, and has never heard of any of the things we talk about online, and who has no social media accounts whatsoever
Propaganda about staying childless to save the environment is meant to make sure you're not invested in the future enough to ask what they're really doing to it
head-scratcher resolved
1. Chinese had magnetic compass long before Europe
(anti-racist talking point somehow)
2. Chinese used extremely cool yet ineffective "south-pointing chariot" for navigation
turns out they just used the compass for feng shui for 2000 years
Assume those 11 Nazis, 10 of them new Nazis, each leave the table and sit with another group of 10 people who were not Nazis, making them Nazis. How many permutations are required to make the entire world Nazi? Assume the entire world population is sitting in this biergarten.
so Dune was inspired by Frank Herbert observing desertification in PNW, it's about ecology, common factoid, also it's about a desert planet dominated by ridiculously energetic apex predators barfing prophecy cinnamon with no apparent ecosystem beneath them
gay marriage was defeated in every referendum America held on it, even in California. The courts enforced it against the will of the people.
The only political consequences were for people in the majority who opposed it, which goes to show how much popularity matters.
in fact right wingers use advanced critical technique to discover the perennial themes invariably contained in text and subtext despite the creators' inept attempts to hide them
lmao at WW2 apologists trying to justify it through consequences, "it was OK to saturation bomb cities because it saved europe from people who thought the ends justify the means"
What puts me in awe of the thought of repatriating the illegals is what it would do *to Mexico.* 20-40M people, over a few years, returning, buying homes, getting jobs, starting businesses, prices of food and housing skyrocket, cost of labor plummets, deflation
Western liberals should be watching this, crying, throwing up, that history is back, this should be 24/7 on airport TVs, they should be wondering if it could happen to them (it could, or to us, the future is a foreign country)
The discovery that getting computers to recognize simple details in images is incredibly difficult and requires office blocks of computing power should have kicked off a philosophical and aesthetic revolution, should have shaken the foundations of perception
going back in time to 2005 to tell free software enthusiasts that open source tech becomes free R&D for megacorps, google becomes a branch of the NSA, the new generation doesn't know what CLI is and popups are mandated by law, not to change anything just to be mean-spirited
Morally deficient people love to cling to things like opposition to slavery, "at least I'm not a nazi," etc. well guess what there's currently no temptation to keep slaves, you're not building virtue at all
Point not being the Chinese are particularly bad at innovation, just that innovation and horizontal knowledge transfer are rare. Perfectly normal for geomancers to know exactly where north is to set up a house while generals use Rube Goldberg machines to march armies.
They've been infertile for a long time, why are they still around? Because fit, loving, conservative cops and feds and lawyers and plumbers send their kids to indoctrination center led by retarded demon worshiper and will only riot if the school closes
my life would be, conservatively, 500% more productive if I could call a girl on the phone every week and tell her how things are going and listen to her for a bit
"this show created by 100% ethnic Japanese elegantly pushed social issues and was fun at the same time, it was recreated by a diverse team of global corporate types who made a dull show that tried not to offend corporations, obviously they should have been more diverse"
Wow uh I did not expect this thread to get this much attention. I’m trying to catch up on responses rn but it’s clear to me that one major cause of Netflix Bebop’s issues was a lack of diversity in the writer’s room and at management levels, especially in terms of economic class.
ah, a woman tried to escape and they force fed her her own fingers. a man tried to escape and they cut him open and kindled a fire in him. getting a sense this was business as usual. interesting perspective on the fate of the red man for sure.
Here's the cite. Authors are frothing with hatemaxxing intensity here, but it's hard to make this stuff sound bad no matter how much they try. Sorry, but it's funny and even kind of sweet
If the fit men with guns in charge of enforcing the edicts of the demon worshipers decided not to, they wouldn't have any power, but they wake up every morning and read your GCs instead of busting child prostitution rings because they're loyal and follow orders.
replace industrial corn with vast sugar maple forests, solve every problem at a stroke. Healthier sugar for your snacks, pulls all that carbon out of the air, shifts North America's albedo, alters rain patterns, cools the climate so they can produce more syrup.
And these returnees, they're used to streets being clean, to cops not taking bribes, to traffic being a non-contact sport, they're used to American ways of doing business - all of Mexican history would be before and after the Return.
I feel bad for the people who advanced in a field because they were good at school rather than any deep understanding of the field itself and now must support their pride as expert professionals on pure assertion and credential, they were led out on a limb
wild times
-Angry colonists drop rotting massacre victims on legislature's porch to protest Pennsylvania Quaker pacifism
-Ben Franklin personally organizes an army
-Iroquois help to defuse the situation by calling the Lenape "the women" in relationship
oh your language has a million words for snow how cute my language has words for throwing people out windows, putting holes in their skulls while they're still alive, and for the castrated forms of goats, bulls, chickens, horses, and humans

Mormons are not Christians. Very nice people. Love them. Much of my family are LDS. But they are going to hell. Not followers of truth. Makes me sad, but can’t deny the Gospel. I struggle in many ways too, so can’t condemn, but can’t pretend their faith isn’t already condemned
no, no! attack GAY MARRIAGE
that'll work!
why spend time trying to unwind the excessive bureaucracies that have actually been plaguing you when you could turn them on the outgroup of yesteryear?
You need to be throwing dinner parties, you need to be inviting people over. These people are starved for physical contact, you should be able to entertain six, seven couples and individuals at once, with a semiformal dress code, you need to know parlor games
The horror of Hamlet is that it's set in a place where everything is wrong and everyone acts like it's fine, Hamlet comes home from school to find everyone he knew and loved dancing on his father's corpse and realizes they actually don't think it's wrong
