All the people who say Jews own us, are they exempt from the draft?

If you're in academia, or can afford the right doctor, or are in the right clubs, you are exempt.

They don't need to be de jure exempt, because they are de facto exempt.

She injected genetic material, multiple times.

exactly.

APA (an evil organisation) has a style where you put the citations and year in brackets in the sentence itself, and then at the end of the paper too.

It makes it harder to read and ugly to look at, for no good reason. It hurts every editing bone in my body.

Beats APA (American psychobabble association, 2021) whose citation method is widely regarded (A. Arthur, B. Bennet & C. Cumberpatch 2021; D. Dingleberry, E. Exasperato, F. Fungible 2020) as "disrupting the flow of any sentence it appears in", as explained by Geovanni, Humphryes and Ignatio (1992).

Zombietime/zomblog had some great photo essays absolutely, they also contributed to pjmedia back in the day. She (i'm working off of 10 year old information I barely recal mind, they tried to remain as anonymous as possible for obvious reasons) has some great other photo essays of all sorts of 'peaceful protests' and sorts from the 2006-2016 era. It was good stuff.

But yeah the folsom street stuff is among the worst. It's more interesting and slightly less grotesque to look at the others.

I'm not aware of any drugs that he could have taken that would have this side effect.

Injections and drugs such as heroin can cause stroke, it's a common association actually. Commonly (depending where on the brain) a stroke will affect the primary motor cortex, or the cranial nerves, each causing facial drooping. Funilly enough it's not just the heroin itself, its the introduction of bacteria into the blood through injection too that can cause endocarditis.

Anything that mucks with blood pressure a lot too. So amphetamines and cocain, they are also associated with it. I'm not going to speculate on what happened to Bieber, I've no idea, but there is absolutely an association between facial drooping and some drugs.

when Australia had a bunch of massive wildfires, and the news filled with 'MUH CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES MORE, BIGGER WILD FIRES'?

Yeah, bigger my ass, it was about 10% the size of the 1974/75 fire (southern hemisphere so our summers n fire seasons go across years).

What it was was in an area right up next to Sydney and Melbourne, our woke shitholes, so they all felt the smoke and could twitter it, in an area they didnt clear properly after 2x wetter years then a dry one. Perfect conditions for a fire.

You never hear any of that. No comparisons to the 74/75 fire that was 10x as big, because it doesn't work for their 'global warming' narrative.

All ya get is photos of a big, but expected, fire.

I don’t understand how people can come to hate so much something that they once loved,” he says. “If you don’t like a show, don’t watch it!

People liked it, it turned to shit. Of course they are gunna shit talk the shit seasons, and nonsensical and unsatisfying finale.

“My research indicates, as with adults, that boys are more likely to be up for trying the new foods first – but overall both boys and girls seem to be willing to have a go in equal measure,” she said.

Gotta get some gender nonsense that makes no sense in first.

The boys are more keen, but the girls are equally keen too.

Nah this is ineffective rhetoric. You're trying to fight feelings with facts.

You gotta use rhetorical tactics to change an opinion such as:

Our politicians are better

Note that this says nothing about the actual quality, only that they aren't quite as bad. There is still a lot of room to bring opinion of them down.

"oh sure, they don't leave quite as big a blood trail as say Hilary Clinton, but they're still pretty piss poor, did you see that awful thing where they..." and then show them the evidence.

I've agreed with their point because it's ultimately inconsequential and has an easy opening to get them to agree with my broader point.

You could poll people but thats a lot of work, far better to just search for it like this: You could do a 'google trends' search on the phrase to see how often it is repeated over time, relative to other phrases. Works for stuff after 2004, or which continues to have an effect after that.

You'd have to develop some kind of metric of comparison, like how movies and ticket sales look at fall-off, they look to see if the movie has 'legs' and has positive word of mouth by how well it continues to do. Weekend 1 might have 50m in sales, weekend 2 might have 3mil, implying bad word of mouth, while 30m in weekend 1 but then 20m in weekend two implies more positive word of mouth, and traction.

So do the same, find some lines and films, real icons that have stood the test of time like 'red pill' from the matrix, or 'i am your father' and then compare other lines to them with google analytics, looking not just a peaks, but for continued impact, look at the falloff in the use of that phrase. I suspect morbin won't have much legs because it doesn't mean much and it's just a joke about a dumb film, but things like 'red pill' left a cultural impact and then was used as a metaphor and analysed for its explanatory power, give things extra points for being meaningful memes rather than just a joke like 'knights who say nee', a once novel and absurdist joke that autists repeat endlessly.

It also works for rarer names, not just phrases. You can see which characters are still being talked about today.

This will only capture the linguistic zeitgiest, and will miss the visual and music/sound based stuff. For example, there has been a resurgence of neon and synthwave 80s aesthetic, and the bladerunner 2047 and tron and stranger things are likely both a contributing cause and results of this trend, but they don't have any quotable lines so your analytics search will miss this. This will be far harder to search for.

One I see mentioned a lot in boomer conservative circles is 'archie bunker', he's used in many conservative essays and discussions. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=archie%20bunker is what that kind of staying power looks like, while a less serious joke/meme with sticking power line from say lord of the rings in 2002 looks like this: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=boil%20em%20mash%20em or this: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=%22they%27re%20taking%20the%20hobbits%22

After that, you'd maybe want to analyse the actual content, and sort some mentions of the character into 'surface level mentions, "oh I really liked when archie fell on his ass"' as compared to more meaningful commentary "today's political climate wouldn't tolerate a character such as archie bunker..."

More likely that it was taken over.

There's a cohort of infiltrationist mods, allied with the srs brigade, who like to take over and squat on subreddits about people and topics to the right of mao
