Every developed nation should drop Prussian-compulsory education, and swap to full vouchers. Won't fix every kid, parent, and school, but at least there's room for the functioning participants to move around and choose. More importantly, exclude incompatible persons.
This is a near case of 'graveyards have their fair share of corpses that had the right of way'. 3 armed individuals have a clear tactical advantage, and she's more interested in being argumentatively right than repositioning.
Shoddy activist propaganda. An actual tropes page would link to a counter example trope where the author depicts replacement as happening.
It's racial, fascination with socialism, or overpopulation. Some of these SA countries used to function. What scares me is North America is that we're not far off from suffering the same freefall of decay.
Was a teenager, liked rock and metal so I liked Kurt Cobain. A decade later I looked at which he actually said, it was this same dainty evasive pride about virtue signalling for faggots. Left-wing activism in alt music scenes is way more destructive than whatever sex and drugs degeneracy is the norm.
I can watch the first 20 second clips and know exactly what kind of preachy clapfter I'm gonna get.
The anti-war movement was backed because it defended left-wing regimes in southeast Asia. Needed to happen 55 years earlier, with people accepting jail sentences or violently resisting drafts.
Since at least 1980, any sort of actual enslave the blacks exterminate the Jews caricature has been statistical noise. I'll be full racist only to disassociate with morons that feed these establishment boogeymen narratives. Still, the dude's an idiot for doing this on a residency permit, in a non free speech dystopia. Use some strategy, do some false flags; anything other than lining up for Fed bait.
I followed his wikipedia article to another link.
March for Our Lives (MFOL) is a student-led organization which leads demonstrations in support of gun control legislation.
As astroturfed as they go. I remember my local newspaper reporting how the local high schools gave their students a sanctioned recess to "protest". At least some of the kids in the more politically mixed town counter protested. If kids really had virtue, they'd get a bunch of covert Goatse signs for the photo ops.
The plot was poisoned as soon as the manufactured narrative wasn't an honest inquiry into the sustainable quality and quantity of immigrants. Frankly it should have been .1%/year of our population since the 60s.
Hilary looked okay in her 20s, with makeup. And definitely did not age like Jennifer Connelly.
It is still a problem that he is famous and wealthy in the first place. A mentally sloppy audience is enabling mentally sloppy post reality TV personalities to have comfortable lives. I don't see Hasan as having a work ethic capable of raising a war elephant. Animal cruelty is the minor issue here, instead that Hasan is neglecting causal reasoning by timing his outburst to his impulses, having no conscious goal with his dog.
Productive citizens permit these peabrain audiences to participate in the same megasociety, even entrusting them the same right to vote.
I want truly collapsed governments, and if I'm naive enough, a populace responsible enough to deport immigrants, cut spending, and pay taxes evenly.
I'm at most a "white-seperatist", I.e. I think travel between USA states and municipalities should ha been more controlled for the past 150 years. This would allow both white conservative cities, socialist communes, and so on to exist, so long as they don't coerce outside aid or associate with an enemy organization like Fabians or CCP.
I started disassociating from quite a few people around this time, including those that willfully asserted this had no real life implications. It's propaganda 101, illustrated in Inception where you ask the other person not to think of elephants. They used a slogan associated with Reagan and Trump, in a direct anti-satirical manner, to preach a basic bitch theme.
You can go back to the Roman populares, where politicians bribed poor urban citizens with bread and circuses. Leftism is a recurring phenomenon, not a modern proper noun.
Yeah, I was calling out conventional wisdom for getting the problem wrong. The point is two-fold. One is that most pre-teens have functioning mental faculties (warped only by being in an artificial half-prison environment for half their waking-hours) aren't going to have a mental affliction upon voluntary exposure to gruesome material. Do adults really develop amnesia around the nonsense they got up to in 5th-6th grade? The second is that we really ought to tackle how we let so many kids and parents get accustomed to corporate junk-media of various forms over the past century. All I'm concerned about is if kids are developing critical thinking skills and media literacy, not if Timmy sees a violent cutscene in Call of Duty.
That's the age where if one can't handle R rated content, they are mentally weak or on a path to weaponized victomhood. Not that schools and parents should be showing porngroaphic brainrot content, whether it's glorifying violence or decades old Disney slop. We should absolutely be doing more to measure individuals' suspectability to addiction and propaganda, and taking whatever the appropriate precautions are. That includes sending this useful idiot off to a soviet gulag.
I'm assuming the context is overseas. In a realistic libertarian society, it is permissible to use a military or militia to target people fraudulently lacing product with fentynal or other incontrovertibly toxic substances. JD Vance is probably being an establishment conservative persisting in the drug war status quo, but that necessitates a less pearl clutching distractionary response on Rand's part.
Most of natural law (negative rights) is really an older conception of game theory, rather than a set of inviolable social norms. Freedom of speech is an agreement among political factions to not get into a cycle of ruining the lives of members not currently in power. It's not for commies and real Nazis, those who don't believe in free speech, to abuse an unlimited license and undermine free society. This has eroded in the age of lawfare and debanking, and the mass of virtueless morons who bandwagoned the TDS narrative. Back to the topic, there's no nonintervention principle to be upheld when the foreign society hasn't agreed to politeness. Americans have just have to be wary of foreign entanglements and nation building farces.
Ron Paul used to support the death penalty until he decided the judicial system is too flawed to give fair treatment. I never liked this society wide dismissal of judicial negligence and corruption, or legislative bloat. There shouldn't be an obligation to be financially burdened by the irredeemably criminal. I say put tons of cameras in prisons, and summarily castrate and amputate those engaging in prison rape and gang activity.
That reasoning is shared with intersectionalism's justification; seeing weakness and victimhood as virtues and taking away individual agency. Reform state and federal constitutions to where a municipality or more local polity can pass a law evicting distributors and consumers. Not that I'm convinced pornography is a major cause behind societal ills. It's at worst an indirect enabler for other causes.
There's plenty here too, just on different subjects. I want a government(s) that's functionally constrained to enforce borders and other necessities, but infeasible to compel age-verification on private businesses. If pornagraphy is such an issue, we need more civilized solutions that don't pretend we can save every vulnerable population by throwing power at centralized institutions.
I was really bored 8 years ago, and watched the commentary track on many of the GoT seasons. Each episode had 1-4 actors or staff for the commentary. Emilia was at least mildly entertaining to listen to. Sophie and Maisie just gave stereotypically annoying teen/pre-teen vapidly girly and irrelevant commentary that one can imagine. These 2 did not mature and acquire tolerable personalities upon passing what was Emilia's age during filming.
Classic example of what OSC emphasized in Ender's Game (or PG's "Why Nerds are Unpopular" essay) about age (in a vacuum) being a minor factor distinguishing kids from adults.
Phone numbers get recycled, too.
Phone books are no longer here for reasons, the internet has not depended on telephony for decades, and it's too vulnerable to scams, spam, spoofing, centralized surveillance, etc. Will legacy telephony die, or persist as an interoperable standard past my life-time?
It's like the loudness war with music. Or thousands of other product decisions made because customers aren't discerning enthusiasts. More depressing examples include the bulk of home routers not having baseline security support (ideally open source firmware), and subscription enshittified cars. With home networking, you're not going to learn Broadcom chips suck from reading some Amazon reviews.
Despite a disappointingly conformist/normie concluding chapter, the Wisdom of Crowds book clearly outlines conditions a large group needs to make good decisions. There needs to be an apparent nontrivial individual penalty for the ordinary man making a weak decision. If people are copying another's solution, it needs to be verified how the original solution was made, or information cascades happen. It gets alot worse when a problem's ideal answer isn't trivially aggregated.
If faked refresh rates preferences were double blind a/b/control tested, and such a result mattered to brand reputation, interpolation=on default wouldn't fly.
I'm still an optimist that the internet can be a powerful mechanism for aggregation, but that requires much more exclusionary IRL societies. Imagine if governments were tracking Britney Spears listeners, not conscientious dissidents (i.e. not useful retard commies or loudly opinionated normies). Then we'd have a utopia where the market can do the bare minimum of choosing honest cars and TVs.
Not using Patreon to host anti-establishment activities is as evident as don't go to a black ghetto after hours as a white girl in revealing clothing.
She'll tell me something and I might not remember it exactly but if I ask her to confirm it again, she'll get mad because in her mind that means I don't care about her but some of the stuff she's expecting me to remember is pretty unreasonable and ultimately shouldn't be a big deal.
This is a personality issue, a person making a series of choices resulting in behavior not excused from a diagnosis. Is anyone capable of providing enough positive reinforcement to fix her? What does she provide for you?
My recommendation, just tell her she needs to not be unreasonably rude when opening up to people, and walk away. If she wants to continue the relationship or seek help, she'll reach out.
I'm a very sarcastic person with very subtle jokes.
Neurotypical or autistic, a deficiency in substantial (versus literal) thinking is a deal breaker to me. I only compromise on this to a certain point. I'm being extreme and broader than just subtle humor. It's up to you if dulling a unique strength of yours is worth it.
Is there a typo?
