In 2012, I was in a Starbucks when a well-intentioned grandmotherly type approached me and asked what so many others have asked me over the previous two years when they saw me alone with Nate: “Is it Mommy’s day off today? Are you babysitting?” Unfortunately for her, she chose the wrong guy and the wrong day to inquire and I told her what I’d been itching to tell the dozens of people who had asked me similar questions before. “I’m gay,”

Nobody fucking asked!

Okay, so this guy is an utter faggot in addition to being an actual faggot, and he's someone who shouldn't be in charge of raising a kid. But in theory, I don't think it's so bad for a gay person to embrace a normal, heterosexual arrangement for the sake of parenthood. This is of course assuming he's just a faggot, and not an utter faggot. It's just that a faggot qualified to raise a kid is so astronomically rare.

The local pride organization of Emo, Ont., Borderland Pride, won a tribunal hearing against the city and its 77-year-old mayor for allegedly “discriminating” against the LGBTQ+ community. The decision followed after the township voted against an official Pride Month proclamation in June.

The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal found that McQuaker voted against the motion “in bad faith” and thus was liable to pay damages of $5,000 and was also ordered to undergo DEI training. The township was also fined $10,000 with other councillors who voted against the motion required to undergo training.

You don't hate these people enough. You really, really don't.

Hey, can I form a shitty tribunal to decide people owe me money and garnish people's bank accounts?

Because I want in on that.

I occasionally hear things about this kid that makes him sound like a complete asshole.

Doesn't matter if he is, of course. He was still defending himself, and he was still innocent. I still admire his discipline in that confrontation.

But he does, at times, sound like an asshole.

Last I heard, Kyle was estranged from his mother & sisters

What? Do they blame him or something?

our problems began when we tried to publish these findings.....any attempt to study the adverse effects of circumcision was strictly prohibited by the ethical regulations

And they tell us to trust the experts.

Why the fuck do they think they have the right to interfere in other people's countries?

And how the fuck does being a hands-off payment facilitator, part of a duopology that nobody sane ever blames for anything (though I imagine leftists contact them when they go down their list of methods to get things cancelled), endanger their brand at all? It's obviously a nonsense excuse so they can engage in the aforementioned interfering.

Good luck.

You're receiving criticism for your kid having gotten to this point, but corporal punishment is a difficult threshold to cross even if you believe it's necessary, especially with how society treats it these days.

I think you're doing the right thing. Your son is lucky to have a father who cares enough about his future to act.

I hope these people continue to brazenly show the world how they think and how they operate.

I was mocking your criticism because it's so ridiculously flawed that I don't believe you read the book, which one was it again?

Basic Economics, fifth edition. I haven't read the book, I'm in the process of reading it.

He's literally a prolific writer, so there are a litany of economic texts that he's written. More-over, some of his books include sections of other books he's previously written to save time, because he explained the issue well enough in those. "Black Rednecks And White Liberals" is comprised of 3 separate books, and some additional original work to simplify the text.

That justifies the length, but it doesn't justify the presentation. If he's trying to get simple information across, one endless narrative wall of text is the worst way to do it. I don't know exactly when it happened (I have reference books from the 1800s that are the same) but that problem was solved a long time ago.

It's essentially a For Dummies book that doesn't understand why they use a helpful, distinct format. This is just an endless ramble (often very preachy) with some facts sprinkled in. You want to go back and revisit a point he made a while ago? Well, where the fuck was it? Which page was it? It's buried somewhere in a dry, barely formatted wall of text that constantly repeats itself. Damn, you wanted to reflect on that information again in light of this new context but you'll be searching for 15 minutes and still probably won't find it.

That's partly on me for expecting a useful reference book instead of The Economist Manifesto but it doesn't change how poorly written it is.

Basic Economics, which has now been translated into six languages and has additional material online, remains true to its core principle: that the fundamental facts and principles of economics do not require jargon, graphs, or equations, and can be learned in a relaxed and even enjoyable way.

It would actually be much better with the graphs and equations. I don't know how anybody can think 704 pages of wall-to-wall text is a good way to present information.

It's worse than John Galt's speech. In fact, it basically IS John Galt's speech, but less passionate and eight times as long.

At least we still have Clarence Thomas.

Sorry, it's my fault for interjecting in an ongoing thread, but I wasn't trying to make a broader argument. I just saw his name and wanted to comment on his book, since I've been reading it.

unimpressed by an actual economist

Less impressed than I expected to be. He's taught me one or two things and helped clarify some others, but mostly he's told me a lot of what I already know, and in the most retardedly ineloquent, wall-of-text way possible.

I haven't read the whole thing yet but at the very least it should be half the length that it is. He needs an editor even more badly than Ayn Rand did.

I take issue with the notion that he's impressive just by virtue of being an economist. There are lots of retarded economists. I don't think he's one of them - his retardation lies in his method of communication.

Thomas Sowell

I've been reading his economics book and I have a lower opinion of his intelligence than I went in with.

I'm sure he's actually very smart, but he absolutely cannot get his ideas across efficiently.

"Clear and concise" (as claimed by the endorsements) my ass.

Who won't wear the ribbon?

I saw that episode recently and was amused by how fitting it was. Especially since the guy was also a violent criminal (stealing the armoire in an earlier episode).

Screw the "the rest of the dev team is fine" or "you are punishing the rest of the dev team".

I don't hear any of them speaking up about this. Not even something milquetoast and partially supportive like "I don't condone his hostility but I support his right to speak his mind."

Fuck them. They're letting him speak for them. They can accept being tarred with the same brush.

taxing the income

So it's not even a one-time payment, they continue to chase you for money for life? Despite no longer providing any services to speak of? Despicable.

But according to conservatives "Antifa are the real fascists". This is why conservatives lose when they can't even correctly identify what their enemies are.

They're called fascists colloquially. It's a word that brings to mind ruthless, cruel authoritarianism, and whether that's technically accurate or not it works as a descriptor.

This is why conservatives lose

But we're not.

There's a reason they're called the LGBT mafia.

This will only make people hate them more. It's becoming more and more clear their goal was never acceptance, but conquest.

You still have to worry about the teachers, but not giving every freak on the planet access to try to groom your kids should be common sense.

Although social media IS awful for children, I'm concerned that this an attempt to isolate them from increasingly uncensored platforms so there's nobody to counter said teachers, or government propaganda.

Countering said propaganda is a (sadly necessary) job for the parents of course, but many don't do a terrific job of that, and a lot can go on that parents don't even know about.

Okay. I'll humor it. Ask her if she thinks the Civil Rights act should be repealed so that private businesses can exercise their right to free association. Either she's consistently principled or she's full of shit.

I was thinking the same thing. I guarantee she's a filthy hypocrite about it. Of course, nobody will ever ask her that question.

I know the blackpill is that it sadly works, but why would anyone listen to someone whose opinion is bought and paid for? They're not sincere, they're just whoring themselves out.

And what kind of morally barren scumfuck lends their name to fake endorsements like this?
