Man literally is a suspected child rapist, yet the supposed anti-groomers would personally offer him their infant children to rape before they ever even dreamed of applying any standards to him.

It’s the logical conclusion of their association based morality. Don could actually murder someone on 5th avenue and the right would never give an inch on it because he’s their bastard and they’ll take their bastards over an outsider’s angels every day of the week.

They don’t believe it’s evil for satanists to run a soup kitchen because they suspect an ulterior motive, they believe it’s evil because the satanists are evil so everything they do is evil because nothing an evil person does is ever a good thing. Same time, one of their own could be caught hacking school children to death with a machete and they’ll go to the extent of bashing their head into a wall until they forget their own now murdered children because he’s one of their own and “we don’t need outsiders to tell us how to handle our issues.”

It is a terrible employer strategy that all but guarantees you will have a high turnover rate as people use their off hours to find better paying work.

It also ensures any public you have to face will consistently be interacting with a work force that could not give any less of a fuck, because you are literally not paying them enough to.

The only conceivable way this is a good business strategy is if you are either a short term seeking nepo baby, get all your business advice from one, or are yourself a complete and utter drooling moron who has never once taken even a beginner’s course in proper employee retention.

Do. Not. Do. This.

Depends on the bong?

A bong can be a load of stuff.

That said, now waiting to see a hookah pipe solo

Well one big fix would be to make legal services free at point of services and instead make the government responsible for paying the salaries of lawyers.

Call it Justice for All like Medicare for All but more patriotic sounding and litigious.

Kills SLAP suits, and opens the gates for people who had legitimate grievances but were scared of the legal fees and costs to have access to their day in court.

Because generally where the West can extend their communications the people tend to provoke change for the better.

Cutting Russia off entirely for the troll farms is locking Russians into a Russian curated echo chamber, or a least doing that to an even worse extent than Putin is already trying to do himself.

I’m pretty sure it would result in the US internet being isolated from the rest of the worlds’

Which actually works against Putin since that means his troll farms also get cut off, meaning less new material for the useful idiots to keep other useful idiots freshly indoctrinated with.

Lights Cigarette

Immediately assassinated by Truck-Kun

Gets Isekai Anime with Absurdly Specific Title

Profit?

Which is a just maddeningly privileged take.

Someone spouting that line off is basically all but admitting they see everyone a second term would put in harm’s way as pawns they can sacrifice at will for the sake of some war against this spectre of an evil conniving and completely unified in purpose and goals DNC establishment.

It is a PoV available only to white kids and those who get their politics from mainly white kids.

Not to mention on the Palestine issue, only a white kid could see the man who handed the Israelis East Jerusalem and West Bank about to get back into power and think the play that helps the cause is threatening to let it happen if we don’t stop everything and listen to their “Imagine” soundboard platitudes and shit.

Imagine if Ukraine invaded Belarus and caused an Arab Spring style uprising against Lukashenko

All the “don’t vote” leftists that think democrats not voting Bernie is less forgiveable that the Republicans closing abortion clinics and kicking gay kids out onto the streets.

They think perceived direct opposition to socialism is worse than something they believe will just magically go away once they finish bribing the racists to not be racist.

If you remember the post trump election memes about economic anxiety being mediaspeak for racism, this is basically where that came from.

Bigotry is a despair response, when the promises of normalcy fail someone, there’s a chance for them to start looking for new meaning to understand a seemingly indifferent world, and in that state of mind, being told you’re part of an exclusive club of inherent superiority is the ego stroke that gets them off.

From the moment they take that poison pill it basically plays out as an analogue of addiction. Even as they watch the sludge they’re mainlining destroy everything around them it doesn’t cut them off from, they just can’t stop, because the validation of feeling that it’s the entire world that’s wrong instead of just you being shit out of luck is too much for a lot of folks to be willing to part with.

It also doesn’t help that these people tend to get fired from jobs that don’t put up with racist bullshit, turning the whole validation needing into a vicious cycle sort of deal.

This is also why some very stupid self described leftists seem to have zero worry about the rise of fascism (even as they insist that they’re the only ones who truly take it seriously as a threat), they think “just do a socialism bro” will instantly fix everything as if economic hardship would never happen to a socialist society even within a vacuum.

They literally think you can just pay the racists to stop being racists, and that you can pay a heroin addict to stop shooting up.

Attacking the festival grounds while they were in use was a deliberate choice, not just to seize hostages, but specifically to crush the illusion of freedom those grounds represented to Gazans since they’d use them too for music and art that Hamas had deemed Haram.

Because his fame comes from an era when that kind of age gap and inappropriate conduct was handwaved away with “fRoM a GoOd FaMiLy!”

Especially in his native southern US. Especially especially among the white folks in his native southern US.

I’ve been saying for a while now that the singularity isn’t going to be based in an AGI, ot will be minimizing quantum computing not just to a commercial scale, but to an implantable scale, and creating a neural “third hemisphere” implant which allows the user to basically have all the capabilities that human thought excels at over machines calculation, as well as all the capabilities of the reverse.

If we hit that point before inequality is addressed, it will lead to the classes literally becoming different species from each other, an overlord owning class that has financial access to such expanded mental capacity, and the peasant working classes that are financially shut out of the expanded career potential the implants would provide.

Not to mention the terroristic horror that could come from the implant not being solidly air gapped from the internet. Might be cool to perfectly calculate an optimal frisby toss, but it’ll be less cool if someone changed the trajectory you’re aiming along to turn the thing into a murder weapon by hitting a rando at just the right angle.

You’d be shocked how crazy it actually is that human arms work the way they do.

Primate arm structure is what gives us the ability to throw with predictable accuracy and it’s something that just does not exist anywhere else in the animal kingdom.

It’s so exclusive that Goji Center used it as a part of their “improved” Indominus Rex to give it primitive tool use and also to add a bit of very disturbing world building about what exactly is in that thing’s genetic components.

The point here is that it is down to a very unique musculoskeletal pattern of our “front legs” that we can throw good, and make use of all that training to possibly throw gooder, and that other animals being able to do the same at the same level as the primate family would have made this planet exponentially more dangerous than it already is.

Imagine a mountain lion being able to chuck a spear. That shit would make living in the Rockies almost dangerous enough to justify how crazy half the people that come out of there are!

I mean the Turks who put them on the list are about as tan as they are so…

Because they demand recognition via acts of terrorism.

Like we can have a discussion about how closely linked Rojava are to them but the PKK itself is undeniably a terrorist organization that engages in terror tactics to pursue its aims of recognition as an independent state.

Just because we might agree with the IRA in principle doesn’t change the fact that they did a fucking lot of car bombings, and the same principle applies here.

When you have the talk, make sure they know that the two rules to follow like gospel are to always use protection, and to never use something that doesn’t have a flared base.

Probably save any further interventions for if you discover that one of those gift cards was used by a horse loving kid to get a flared base and head.

Keeps it fresh for longer for as much fun as possible.

Well if you’re an American, expensively.

The IRS is determined to make sure that they juice every last drop out of you to make sure that you feel the hurt, because Americans denouncing their citizenship are one of two kinds typically, either A) Political migrants who are renouncing to make a statement about some great failing of the US, usually something the feds have dug their heals in over like Vietnam, or B) Financial migrants who are trying to escape tax increases.

Either way, the feds have a vested interest in deterring that behavior as much as possible and so the US is one of the few places that gets away with enforcing an arm and a leg exit tax and IIRC still makes you pay another 10 years worth afterwards basically to punish you for trying to skip your duty to your fellow citizens to support the country and her infrastructure and services that everyone shares.

Elizabeth Warren had actually proposed tightening the noose even harder during the 2020 primaries because where Republicans loose their shit over the idea of women being able to outsmart abortion restrictions, Dems, and especially progressive Dems, loose theirs at the thought of some Elon Musk type being able to take the bag they made off American infrastructure and labor and run away with it to avoid paying the fair share back.

People usually call it brain drain but really it’s all down to tax dodging, between the high rate of immigration and envy of the world higher education quality (so long as you can afford it), America is not running out of smart people without a 20th century style purge of the “intellectual class” by authoritarian militias because smart people aren’t dumb enough to go along with their strong man fetish.

Tl;Dr, the IRS REALLY wants to make sure you know that renouncing for financial reasons is gonna be way more costly than what you’re gonna save by fleeing to a tax haven.
