Well pimpin ain't easy, and it is not only no longer necessary, but entirely unwanted.

What's interesting is that there is already an established legal precedent for the idea that if one films a specific sort of crime and distributes the footage to others, watching that footage increases the likelihood that more such crimes will take place, so simply being in possession of the footage itself is also a crime. And yet, there is demonstrable proof that filming and streaming the 'knock out game' does exactly that, and that viewers of that footage are more likely to go out and do it themselves so they can also gain viewers of their own, and yet watching or possessing the footage is not a crime.

Makes one wonder if the 'knock out game' was done predominantly by young White men, whether there would already be a Possession of Violent Assault Material felony on the books.

*White people. Canada's not lining up their jeets, spics, negros, mohammedans, or local flavor of brown savages for the gas chamber. Only Whites.

And vice versa especially. As evidenced in this very thread in fact.

Cool story mullah.

Cool story imam. Fucking strange that a thread about Tucker and Islam got you so riled up and made you try to smokescreen and deflect to something else that isn't what the thread is about. Fucking odd. I wonder what would cause someone to get so angry so quickly as soon as someone criticizes Islam? Hell of a head scratcher.

Oh I'm sure here's the part where you come in and say you hate both side, glass em all and all that. But you know what's funny about that? When the thread is about Jews and not Islam, I notice you sort never come in and say 'and Islam too'. If it's a thread about Islam, you always gotta shoulder in and make sure it's about Jews as well. But when it's already about Jews, it never goes the other way. Reeeeeaal fucking interesting.

You're gonna shit yourself when you find out what clouds are made out of.

You can say whatever you want. The clip though is Tucker Carlson retracting prior statements about whether Islam is an enemy or 'suicide cult' and now stating that he doesn't think it is.

Any bets on how long til he comes out as having converted to Islam? I'd imagine his sweatheart house deal in Qatar back in December probably came with some strings attached.

I don't begrudge his baby games. It's quite refreshing for a non-pozzed game reviewer to openly like games like that instead of posturing as 'ultra hardcore difficulty pro-gamer sadist' for the internet toughguy points. There tends to be a kneejerk reaction to signal in-group allegiance by being as opposite of the other side as one can be. Since faggot game reviewers can't finish a tutorial level without yellow paint and a hint every 8 seconds, some based reviewers feel like they need to present this sort of 'I play nothing but Dark Souls on hardcore for 28 hours straight' personality. I find that 'the difficulty of the entertainment on a screen is an expression of my self worth' sort of attitude nauseating. I appreciate Synth doesn't really give a shit about that and just likes his Kirby and Donkey Kong. I just don't really care for those games myself.

I used to like Synth but I realized our taste is games is entirely different with almost no overlap, so his reviews have no meaning to me.

I find that sort hedge-betting and disclaimer speech to be inherently slimy and off-putting, but it's not limited to the left or Gen Z.

How many times have you heard a pretty staunchly right leaning person, in the midst of giving a monologue about why women shouldn't be cops or soldiers or something say something along the lines of 'listen, I'm not saying women are bad. Women are capable of many things and I respect women who are strong and capable enough to do....'? How many times when hearing one say something about the black crime rate do they then say something about 'I know that it's not all black people, there are plenty of fine black patriots who aren't like this and...' And so on.

There is the seemingly very deep need to introduce the counterargument to one's own argument, while making the argument, inside a great deal of people on the right. A sort of preemptive attempt to stave off any criticism by bringing it up first, acknowledging the criticism has a point, but doesn't apply here to you, before being able to full make one's own argument. And it's really disgusting and pathetic.

We never see the Left use this technique. I've never seen a communist say 'listen, I know that capitalism has brought more people out of poverty than any other economic system, but...' or 'The vast majority of White men are actually pretty decent, civilized, law abiding, and hardworking people, however...'

It's only the right that always pays lip service to the enemy's points and gives them the stage for a bit before moving on to make their own points. Next time you're listening to anyone on the right, even someone 'ultra based', pay attention and listen for it. As soon as they start making a broad point that is largely correct, they'll stop, catch themselves, and bring up the 'Not all...' and 'I'm not saying that...' counterpoints before moving on. Once you notice it, it's impossible not to see.

Your source the infamous 'trust me bro' of course.

Yes it has existed for a long time, but it has not been mainstream for a long time until recently. This was already clear in the comment you responded to.

Weird how Muslims do this in places where there aren't any Jews forcing them to. Almost as if Muslims are capable of being malefactors acting out their misdeeds on their own volition. But nah, that can't be true. I'm sure Japan, famous for its significant Jewish population, is only doing this because Israel or something.

*hanged

No. Muslims don't even count as people, much less White people.

How many faggot shows this upcoming season? It's two airing right now, with at least one per season every season for the past year or so. I've definitely noticed a deliberate and concentrated push to make BL/yaoi faggot anime more mainstream and front and center than in the past. I'm not entirely sure I'd call this the golden age. I think it's the last gasp before anime goes full pozz.

I really enjoyed it an I'm looking forward to the second half of the season. It should be noted that Kowloon Generic Romance is very much a psychological/sci-fi anime, whereas Smoking Behind the Supermarket has none of that. It's very much a 'two adult strangers form a bond through shared happenstance' romance anime, with no fantastical elements whatsoever.

I would personally say it's much closer to Catch Me at the Ballpark! in a lot of ways. The male MC is a salaryman who is beaten down by his job and seeks to unwind via some pastime, where he meets basically anime-manic-pixie-dreamgirl and they keep ending up in close proximity and eventually bond as friends and then as more. Ballpark! has a much larger extended cast and doesn't just focus on the two leads, and the overall story about the baseball team is actually really interesting and fun, and I don't even care about baseball or sports at all. In Smoking, the MC and the main girl keep ending up smoking together behind the grocery store and sharing more about their lives and getting closer, and in Ballpark the MC keeps getting served by a bubbly blonde gyuaru beer-girl at the ballpark, but in each case the strangers to friends to more progress is slow, but very enjoyable. And unlike Kowloon, there isn't some greater plot at work. It's just enjoyable adult-romance slice of life.

If you're into romcom anime that isn't about high schoolers and has adults that actually act like adults, another absolutely fantastic one is Crush at Work. In that one, the story actually begins with the couple already dating and just being together. All three anime are very comfortable and enjoyable, without all the love-triangles, misunderstandings, manufactured drama, and on-the-nose tropes you get from high school romcom anime.

Of course with members like (((Kadota Naoto))) and (((Marukane Yukiko))). Every single time amiright? We all know Islam only does this sort of thing when those people make them.

No doubt, but you would have to create it via observation, not survey. Women would never admit their truths out loud. It goes against their whole idea of the world, where words are meant to create a desired effect, not carriers of true data, where telling an uncomfortable truth about oneself means giving a possible enemy a weapon to use against you, and so on. There is no doubt such a list that could be made, but women will never willingly say what it is.

That fact that women go through their entire lives viewing every relationship and interaction with other people as some sort of game theory battle of manipulation, social cues, subtext, hidden meaning, and extraction of value for personal benefit, and that they cannot even understand that men simply don't think that way is always beyond their comprehension.

Interesting video IMO. It's a series of 100 'truths' about minute, each about a minute long, that this woman found when conducting research. I extracted the gist of the truths below.

Ngl, I'm a Hello Games believer. After the way they turned around NMS and produced so many high quality updates for free that ended up delivering on nearly all of their initial promises, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. No preorders of course, because preordering dumb as fuck. But I am optimistic about Light No Fire.

It was the default setting across the entire globe for the entire history of our species until the 20th century in the west. What we're experiencing now is a drastic aberration.
