They speak English now? Maybe English words, but the meanings they're using are entirely inaccurate.

"windows are not people, they can't be attacked."

a) Well, let's smash your iphone then. It's not a person, so there's nothing wrong with it!

b) There was a certain Polish mercenary you people should read about before you keep going down that line of logic, because you keep making people sympathize with a quote of his more and more.

Well, I'll agree on ending the EV tax credit being a good thing. But, why not give the money back to the people you "borrowed" it from?

Even then, there's an inherent problem. Even if you end up winning the trial,the trial process itself is punishment. The cost, the personal and professional grief and damage, the time involved in the trial, all of it is punishment even if you win in the end. (It's the same thing with a lot of law enforcement activities - go after a little guy, and browbeat him into some minor confession under threat of "we'll drag you through the courts for years if you refuse to confess")

And the atmosphere created by the threat of these lawsuits is toxic. I'm a college professor, have been for a decade. There have been multiple times I've talked to other professors, or other professors have come to me and basically said "Hey, I'm meeting with a student a couple days from now, you mind hanging out in the office or in the office next door during the meeting? Because I'm worried she may make up blatant falsehoods if she gets upset and I want a witness present"

If a situation like that does escalate, acquittal is obviously better than conviction, but neither is justice. Justice is the people who are lying simply to punish people they don't like getting the same penalty they're trying to inflict on other people. And until that happens routinely, this situation is not going to be fixed no matter how many of them are proven liars in court.

This. Fandom is absolutely terrible. Navigating one of their sites without adblocks and Javascript blockers is beyond frustrating

Personally, think it is a very good analysis and proposal.

Funny thing about that is, aren't a good number of people in Ukraine using his Starlink internet since the invasion began? I know he donated a bunch of stuff for Starlink to them last Spring.

So, they're ignoring a full 70% of the homeless population. Sounds like a brilliant plan to me, where nothing will go wrong!

Sixty-seven percent of all people experiencing homelessness within the 2018 Point-in-Time (PiT) Count are individuals. There are 260,284 men compared to 106,119 women. Thus, men are the majority of individuals experiencing homelessness (70 percent) followed by women (29 percent). The final 1 percent are transgender and non-binary individuals discussed in the first installment of this series.

So, the only way Russia can demonstrate they didn't sabotage their own pipelines is by immediately kowtowing to everything NATO wants them to do? Got it.

This is exactly what I would expect if Russia blew up the pipeline themselves in order to play the victim and rally domestic support for the regime by pretending to be under attack.

And what would be different in their response if it was an attack by NATO or Ukraine?

What makes you think they anyone wants to override the veto? As long as the governor is Their Team, then the emergency powers are great. It's only once Other Team has emergency powers that it becomes a problem.

First, that the damage to the pipelines — an action for which Russia is certainly a more-than-viable suspect, if not the preeminent one —

I'll follow that up by going 64 words previous in your own article

There’s no evidence of this, of course.

Apparently, an orangutan once got a score of 75 on an IQ test on live TV and a gorilla who learned sign language had an IQ of 84.

Even if true, nothing new. Did they suddenly forget the Clinton admin stealing all the W keys from the keyboards in the white house 2 decades ago?

Working? WORKING? Maybe if your goal is to be an inhumane monster. Reducing someone to that point and celebrating it is evil.

You racist! How dare you assume that..... oh, wait.

NYC demographics from the US census bureau:

White: 41%, Hispanic: 29%, Black: 24%, Asian: 14%

From the NYPD website in 2021:

For murders, the race of the suspect is:

Black: 64%, Hispanic: 28.5%, White: 5%, Asian: 3%

For robbery:

Black: 64.5%, Hispanic 28%, White 5%, Asian 2%

They do the "best" with non-rape felony sex crimes, where it is "only"

Black: 42.3%, Hispanic 34.5%, White 15.5%, Asian 8%

So, yeah, I think for murder and robbery anyway it gets close to the 15-25x range. But in every single category the joggers are jogging (and quite frequently at other blacks)

You know what? I'll allow it. If you're going to go off the deep end, may as well do it in an amusing way.

Another one no one has mentioned yet is Tex of the Black Pants Legion. He's not actively anti-woke (though the mob has tried to cancel him for daring to have a conversation with Arch a while back) but he is aggressively anti-political in his content.

A lot of his channel is Lets Plays and shitposting, but his Battletech Lore Videos (playlist here) are top tier, especially the longer ones.

Agree on Arch. His lore channel is here, and in the last couple years he's tried to keep it more neutral politically, but on his second channel is all his political and cultural takes which are anti-woke.

Plus, Putin has spent the last half a year coming up with alternate markets for his gas since NordStream usage has been heavily curtailed due to the war and sanctions. The only people who will be negatively impacted are the Europeans.

The admin is claiming they won't be using the assignment (which they've apparently been using for years, and which was "taken out of an online teacher resource and has been used in many schools.") anymore, but if so why did they expel the kid?

I'm honestly starting to miss the days of Doritos Pope. We've still essentially got the same corruption going on, but not only was Doritos Pope a better source of memes, but at least they were mostly transparent about what they were doing then.
