Those DNA kits work differently than what you might expect. When they say “you’re 20% German”, what they mean is that you’ve got 20% of the genetic markers they’ve identified in modern people who identify as German.

This might not seem like a big difference, but it is because genetics doesn’t respect political boundaries. Ancestry will not tell you that you’re 60% Texan because “Texas” isn’t a recognized biological origin. Even though people have been there as long as they’ve been in Mexico.

You also have to accept that 20th Century Germans who’ve participated in DNA testing is the absolute standard for what a “German” is.

Nonsense. The idea of “national DNA” is incoherent leftovers from race-theory.

Because WWII is the only history in America. And we’ve forgotten 3/4 of that.

What you’re being distracted from is the fact that rape and sexual assault, especially of children is normal and accepted in our society. You may be confused by all the hate and demonetization pedophiles get, but like all rape, the status of the perpetrator matters most.

Until 1971, married men were immune from charges of raping their wives. And several States protected them after that. For every 100 rapes reported to the police, only 18 charges will be filed ¹. And of course their are incompetent pigs and timid prosecutors. But it’s also the public at large who won’t convict rapists. (because nobody believes women)

Epstein wasn’t hiding anything. And all those people around him knew what he was up to.

But forget about Epstein. What powerful men are snatching teenagers off the street today? Nobody cares.

The Epstein scandal is about embarrassing powerful men. Nobody gives a shit about raped little girls.

1. Here is a reference to that figure, but for some reason, the referenced study isn’t on the DOJ’s website anymore.

Advertising adds cost but no value. Advertising, along with profit are the largest capitalist inefficiencies.

The tragedy of a potential customer being ignorant of a product is something must learn to cope with…somehow.

This is an article because it couldn’t fit on a motivational poster.

People on a budget can just slow the fuck down. Speeding tickets are not cheap.

Because most people have a parasocial relationship with media personalities so it kinda feels like it’s happening to people you know.

It’s not obvious to people who like evidence. What you describe is called suspicion.

Suspicion is a reason to start look for evidence, not a reason to stop.

Your opinion is that secret assassins killed a man in prison. And you aren’t interested or even curious to back that up with anything.

I’m not going to just buy “secret prison assassins” without any evidence that they even exist. Especially when ‘jailbird kills himself’ is reasonable and likely.

What you should take away from this is not that suicide is difficult in prison, but rather that suicide is so common they have specific policies in place.

It makes 10000% perfect sense that Epstein would kill himself. He just got busted down to the justice system tier for mortal Americans and his life was over. People killing themselves in this situation is so common that it’s a trope in media.

The idea that some CIA-Mossad-Legion of Doom joint operation to assassinate him is the claim that’s short on evidence.

Heat Pump guy get’s “mad as Hell”. I love it.

Gnome get’s up and out of my way. 9/10.

You shouldn’t sleep on WNCW. If you like country, classic rock, folk, jazz, and bluegrass there is nothing better.

Oh, and for those turned off by “country”, or “classic rock”, they’re not playing the crap on 'ya dad’s radio station.

In so many ways ‘Donald Trump’ is a victory of liberalism. Arrogance and incompetence flourish in societies where the beneficiaries of great wealth and power are two or three generations removed from the people who were clever enough to steal it in the first place.

And America has been such a place of abundance for the highborn for so long. Their blatant criminality is tolerated and normal. Is it any wonder that people who’ve never faced meaningful consequences have trouble with making big decisions?

I think it’s interesting to contrast Germany’s fall into Fascism coming from humiliating loss and economic ruin, to America’s slide from a position of global dominance and unimaginable wealth. Maybe second time as farce?

The Barber’s hair is long because he’s not allowed to cut it himself.

One of the biggest victories of capitalism during my lifetime is how consumerism has swallowed ethics. I’m not saying that buying stuff from shit-heel companies is OK, or that boycotts are useless. But the mentality of shopping as ethics reduces moral agency to consumer choice and spending habits. Its gross.

Has anyone else noticed this? We don’t shop anymore, we support businesses now. Maybe the reason Americans are reluctant to protest is because we already feel like an activist for spending an extra dollar on cage free eggs.

I read a book called The Reactionary Mind, by Robin.

It’s thesis was that if you survey Western conservative writings from the French Revolution to today, the only consistent value is hierarchy. God, guns, small government, capitalism, and traditional family values may all be jettisoned, but never hierarchy.

I’ll point out that this week, Trump pitted gun rights vs. enforcement of the out-group and the American Right shuddered.

Being the “black friend” providing cover for White Supremacy is hardly anything new. Relying on black identity to legitimize racist ideals is some nested dolls of irony and hypocrisy.

I know a white guy who admits his is a race isn’t so good at critical thought.

You make a great point, but WTF does Tyler Durden have to do with anything?

There are many ways to read media, and one of the popular ways to read Durden and his project is as explicitly fascist. The speech your meme references sounds to my ear like white-male-grievance-porn straight from the Daily Wire editorial page.

I’m not saying you should adopt this reading, just that you should be aware of it.

It’s for people who want to skim but not to read.

You would have to design the game around an LLM, not just drop one into existing games.

It might be cute for the guards in Skyrim to have unique dialogue, until one of them denies the Holocaust or says feminism is cancer.
