Thus making it a positive feedback loop for increasing influence of MGTOW and the likes.

Or better yet, outsourced to the experts (whom are appointed by the state) who may decide whether us ordinary yokel should get those pesky privileges in the first place!

Yep, the ClimateGate. Heard about it on a podcast episode "Cherry Picking" by Red Pilled America, it was quite a while ago since they broadcasted it but its one of the few which struck me the most.

One of the guys who were in that episode talked about weather data acquisitioning and he recalled that several weather stations throughout USA were measuring record high heat during the summers of mid 2000's. However when they (I think Stephen if my memory serves me right) dug into the measurement of those temperatures, he found out that those "weather stations" were data loggers placed in the middle of a sunbaked parking lot. No wonder they were measuring extreme temperatures. Or how warmer periods of centuries past (such as during the height of the Roman Empire or more recent the draughts of 1930's America) are downplayed to obfuscate the unpredictability of the climate.

Sadly I forgot the adres of a blog which went further into the data about the matter. Maybe its American Thinker blog or wattsupwiththat

That's their kink, forcing their thing through big daddy government onto us. And sadly it does not involve a wholesome "I like Saabs and so should you!" weirdness.

Yep, which is why I was quite vocal about forced "vaccinations" or whatever chemical soup it was masquerading as.

Well the EU's ECHR allows laws for compulsory vaccination if there's a national interest to do so. Think of national and public security.

To be fair, the smart ones leave as soon as possible.

A case I'm very familar with is the Gulf War of 1991. Many highly educated investors, engineers and doctors fled or left Iraq before the war started since they sensed the end of Iraq as a strong state. Some choose to ride it out, but noticed a sharp decline in everything requiring actual specialist or capital.

I'm sory for ranting here, but that is such a retarded take. The "its a private company, they can do what they want" statement. Allrighty! I, as a private corperation, won't hire any women! "Oh no no you can't do that!!".

I don't think publicly, but in my industry people do tend to talk with each other and they will influence HR, both a positive and a negative.

Call me old fashioned, but a 7.62 NATO does wonders too!

It's like if NASCAR playoffs and Grammy's had an offspring where songs submitted by various countries around the world and compete to become the winner.

I liked this part of a commenter.

I've been through this process at my place of work (corporate IT), and the most effective advocates were the feminist men talking to and educating the non feminist men. There has to be a full programme of education to effect change, but having people that anti feminist men respect (i.e other men) as part of your programme is key, otherwise the message just won't go in

Duh, in a men's only space you can call out a faggot for parroting faggy ideas and get laughs from your colleagues without the snarkness from danger glasses wearing women.

Here in Europe, German brands are considered as no thrill, straight cut, solid car manufacturers that offer many wallet friendly models and specs. Models off the top of my head to fit that category are: Any Polo or Golf, A-class Mercs or BMW 1-er.

However when elsewhere in the world they are regarded as luxurious brands with the high expectations for said brands. A dinky 1-Series BMW is suddenly more appealing in China because its a BMW. Because of their perceived status, and price, people treat them as "rugged" cars that should withstand the abuse. Generally they will do just fine. Only a small catch, they must be serviced properly at the right intervals for said abuse!

Sadly this last part is lost in translation somehow and your beloved BMW 335i doesn't get thoroughly inspected and serviced, and before you know it a hefty bill is revealed once you take the car to a main dealer for a "weird duck like sound" coming from the front passenger side suspension area.

I may not know all factors which contribute to their reliability of a vehicle, but a major reason could be the lack of strict annual road worthy tests which are the norm in EU. You might have heard of UK users refer these as MOT in the UK, or TÜV inspection in good ol' Germany.

I may be oversimplifying it, but this is what I have seen on a personal account based on family member who lives in Snowy California.. err I mean Canada. She has a Toyota or Honda crossover but she always complains that every garage in town charges too much for each repair. What's the punchline? Well, she doesn't get her car serviced only once stuff starts to break :/

Not to that extreme as you've mentioned, but there's a decline in defensive driving in the past 10 years as I and multiple people have noticed in the Netherlands. Back then it was your typical stereotype to view a BMW 3 series driver as a jackass who like he owned the road, now everyone does. I often see people doing dumb stuff behind the wheel, for example texting or watching some shit live (F1) while driving a Mercedes Sprinter van..

Hell, look at Frank Jack Fletcher's track record fighting the IJN at its naval height in 1942. While true Admiral King held a grudge against the man, in retrospect Fletchter did as well as he could fighting the Japanese with what he had.

Welp, there's no way around SE within automation and panelbuilding industry, especially when our preferred equipment manufacturers have lead time of about a year.

I still distinctly remember 9/11 attacks when I was 3 ½ years old, watching a live broadcast of I think an Iraqi state television. That and 2003 invasion.

Reminds me of the farce with the way our government censored files of thousands of duped parents who got robbed during the entire child benefit tax scandal. Those who got robbed by our tax office requested to view their tax files, and government complied... by censoring and redacting papers just like this one.
