Marriage being a trap for suckers.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

Makes you mention Trump at the Christmas dinner?

Three years of bootlicking during Covid apparently wasn't enough.

It's written by a historian who, after years of research, came to the conclusion that human history is so violent, evil, distorted and mysterious that there must be a hidden external force playing divide and conquer with us, trying to achieve full control. It then speculates on who or what that external force might be based on historical evidence. Excellent reading if you're into esoteric subjects.

I recently finished Gods of Eden by William Bramley and I'm not reading anything at the moment.

The attempted rape scene was part of a larger "poor illegal workers oppressed by the evil Empire" theme. Another one bites the dust.

It's not called rapeseed for nothing.

There's no such thing as a labor shortage, it's called full employment and it's beneficial to the majority of the population because their labor is in high demand and they can easily find jobs and ask for higher pay.

Naturally, the powers that be don't like it when the masses have it too good so now it's a made up problem that must be solved with globohomo. I was hoping the Slavic world was based enough to resist it but here we are.

Japan could use a lower population, it's an anthill.

But who will pick our cotton!?

There must be a healthy middle ground between communist footsoldier and "LOOK AT ME MY VAGINA IS FERTILE".

Why would Putin do this?

Japan is a nation of 130,000,000 people on a few islands, they could drop by 99% and be fine. The population growth Ponzi scheme needs to stop and reverse at some point so it may as well happen now.

There's an addon called DeArrow which replaces clickbait titles with crowdsourced ones.

When in doubt, gold (and silver).

Who knows, it might be proper grammar in Ebonics.

Sanity, as usual.

In my university days, 51% was called a passing grade. Looks like they took the smart approach, minimum amount of effort to pass the class.

What about this one?

Minor event happens yet again in endless forever war.

All while conveniently ignoring Ukraine's actual nazi problem of course.

Don't forget to refund it.

I just watched a Ken Burns documentary about Lewis and Clark, the first American citizens to reach the west coast. It took them 2.5 years and ~8000 miles (13000 km) in total. That's quite mind-boggling for a European, maybe Russians can comprehend it.

The officials said that while the Ukrainians were likely to use the missiles first against Russian and North Korean troops that threaten Ukrainian forces in Kursk, Mr. Biden could authorize them to use the weapons elsewhere.

According to NYT it's Kursk only at this point.
