Promiscuity. Especially using sex for personal gain. Another hallmark of psychopathy.

This is true in technology-based forces like the ones common in Europe, where better equipment wins battles. But this is feudal Japan, a land where the metal is of terrible quality and the folding technique had just recently been invented, was extremely time consuming, and was reserved for outfitting nobility. Most combatants didn't even have armor except for maybe a basic breastplate, and a lot of them fought with simple, light spears. No commoner was carrying anything into battle except a three pound stick with a pointy end.

Also, I never said that women took part in sieges or raids. Most of the battles they fought in were defensive. No tents or rations required.

How interesting that Mr. Savitz heard about a new AI and his first thought was to trick it into using the phrase "fair complexion" and then talk about how "alarming" that is.

The "female samurai" thing isn't entirely unbelievable, as long as she's not literally a female samurai. In Japan, women participated in battle all the time. They were called onna musha. They were never samurai and if this woman receives the title of samurai then it's purely historical revisionism, but they did fight. Even if it takes five women to defeat one man, including women in your fighting force would increase its strength by 20%. Besides, everyone knows what happens to the women once their men are all dead. Better to go out in a blaze of glory. Of course, the idea of a lone female warrior roaming the land and besting male warriors is absolutely ludicrous, but maybe she'll have some sort of macguffin that makes up for the fact that women are naturally much weaker than men. Maybe she'll have Venom, like Bane.

A black ninja, though, is just fucking stupid. Half of a ninja's job was spying. I don't think a man who's basically wearing a giant sign that says "THIS MAN IS A FOREIGNER, DO NOT TRUST HIM" would work terribly well as a spy. I really hope they weren't dumb enough to go down this route, but then we are in the thick of Current Year so I wouldn't doubt it.

Even if Danish prisons were luxury studio apartments, the data doesn't support Reddit-style They Just Need Hugs rehabilitation. Every first world country has roughly the same recidivism rate no matter how they treat their prisoners. The fact is, some people are just evil, and those people are going to reoffend whether you treat them like gods or animals. That's what we used to have gallows for, back before the world collectively lost its mind.

She's putting on a very fake "cute" voice to attract betas (and their bucks). It's a common tactic among female psychopaths. They know that talking like a baby will cause particularly stupid men to dote on and fawn over them because if triggers a paternal response.

You'll notice a few other markers of psychopathy here. The intentional, unnatural head tilt designed to make her look cuter. The fact that she never, even for a second, breaks eye contact with the camera, despite the fact that she's walking. Her strangely emotionless upper face despite her ostensibly talking about something that she cares deeply about. That practiced smirk that looks like it came straight out of a Pixar movie.

This woman is a master manipulator and this Twitter dweeb is exactly the kind of fly her web is designed to catch. He's probably already going into debt for her.

I used to wonder that. After the last few years, I don't any more. It has become abundantly clear to me that 90% of humans are NPCs and will simply obey the programming of whoever they perceive as the most powerful in their circle of influence. If it's not the parents, it's almost unerringly either the government or the media, and right now the government is the media.

This only applies in colleges, and as such, is only going to do more to push even more rational people out of the education system.

College is already almost solely the domain of useless women and their pathetic orbiters. Another few rules like this one and even normies are going to start treating colleges as a cult with zero value to society. And personally, I can't wait. Let's accelerate those indoctrination centers to the grave.

Any non-EU country in Europe is going to weather the next 20 years better than the rest of the world. Every great country in the world became great by having a "fuck you, I'm doing what's best for my people" attitude. It's all that's required to prosper. Most of the world has forgotten this, but certain countries are beginning to remember.

Why build a life in a country that doesn't want you in it?

When I was a kid, it was a given that I'd be living out my days in America, because America was among the best places to live on the planet and it was only getting better.

Now, it's almost a given that I won't be living here much longer, because it's rapidly becoming a shithole and I'm ruled by malicious tyrants who hate me.

I'm sure Tyrone and Cleetus are getting all the HIV-riddled skanks their local crack den has to offer, but this is specifically about marriage. Can't be a widower if you're not married.

That would imply that there are as many women becoming widows at 40 as there are at 70, or half as many at 25. I guess it's theoretically possible, but I'd have a very hard time believing it. Most of the men dying at 25 are, shall we say, not exactly marriage material.

The only "information" we have about him is that Peach is his daughter. He also only exists in the US version of the manual, so even if he is canon, he most likely died before or during SMB1, which would explain his complete absence afterwards.

With the average age of widowhood being 59, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau

I see this "fact" thrown around a lot, with the age reported as anywhere between 55 and 60, but unless I'm missing something, it's mathematically impossible.

The average age gap in a marriage is about 3 years. The average man lives to the age of 73. That'd put his wife at 70, which is a far cry from 55. And if you correct for homicide, which contrary to feminist narrative almost exclusively affects men in their teens and early 20s, men probably live to more like 75.

It's been an interesting few weeks watching what was previous quite a woke subreddit turn out some very reasonable comments for things like this, something that seems to be a recurring pattern since the SNP started imploding.

SNP's running out of funds to pay propagandists to flood the internet with the narrative.

You see it all the time in small, regional subs. Overnight they'll turn into Redditor-grade leftism hives where even the tamest criticism of the left is a bannable offense, and it almost always happens just before an election the left needs to win in order to further cement their power. Then, suddenly, all the leftists will vanish simultaneously, as if they were all reverse raptured back to hell. This reverse rapture usually happens right after the establishment realizes that the area is a lost cause.

The official canon actually clears up this contraction, although very little is ever more than just hinted at. It would be impossible to explain away all the inconsistencies of the franchise at this point, so we're left with vague connections and hand waves.

First, despite being called the "Mushroom Kingdom", it's actually a principality. Principalities are ruled by a prince or princess. So Peach is the head of state. Mario 1's manual states that Peach does, or did, have a father who was king. Perhaps he abdicated and Peach decided to downgrade her kingdom into a principality because she liked the title of princess better, but they kept the name Mushroom Kingdom because it's what people were familiar with. Or perhaps it's all just dumb made up bullshit from a 40 year old game.

Second, the rulers you rescue in 3 are kings of various kingdoms in the confusingly named Mushroom World, which is apparently a geographical region that you can only access via the Mushroom Kingdom. The Mario series takes place on an unnamed earth-like planet containing, among other things, the Mushroom Kingdom, Mushroom World, and Dinosaur World.

As to how the topography of Mario's planet seems to change every game, that's never brought up. There are many theories, but the fact is we're simply not meant to think about it.

They didn't walk anything back, they just hid their true intentions. I have no idea what that sub is supposed to be, but it's just a bunch of factory settings NPC outrage bait. Whitey bad, cops bad, Christians bad. It looks like it consists entirely of a feed that's cultivated by a bot that just scrapes leftist news sites for certain keywords. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to learn a human being hasn't posted there in years.

Wanna know how tuned out of capeshit I am? When I read "Shazam 2" my brain autocorrected it to "Kazaam 2" and I was legitimately sad that they fucked up everyone's favorite rapping genie. Once I realized my mistake I felt nothing, because why would I be surprised to see shit in a sewer?

To reiterate, yes, I had no trouble believing that they made a sequel to a universally loathed movie from 1996.

It's been that way for ages. Criminal Minds was so predictable that "we're looking for a white male in his late 20s" became a meme among people who watched it, and that first aired 18 years ago. Comedians were making jokes about burglars in alarm company ads always being white as long as I can remember.

The only time a black guy has been allowed to be an unrepentant villain in any fiction for at least the past thirty years is when the main character is also black. Thanks to 9/11 we had a few years there when Arabs were allowed to be evil, but even then they always had a token peaceful Muslim who constantly delivered monologues about how Islam is a religion of peace and terrorists aren't true Scotsmen Muslims. When's the last time a white culture got that kind of respect from Hollywood? Oh, literally never? How curious.

Who the hell is this guy and how did he apparently get an audience with every famous person on the planet at some point during his life? I feel like he's an A list celebrity from another dimension that I just recently teleported to. In my native reality he doesn't exist.

It's too bad I couldn't have leaped into a universe that was less shitty. I mean, I basically had nowhere to go but up and I still managed to arrive somewhere that's the exact same but plus this talentless hack.
