People who elect genocidal, theocratic fascists to power because they think trans people are icky should be driven to the fringes of society, not have their feelings coddled.

Jesus Christ

Scientists: “Tell me the name of God you fungal piece of shit!”

The anglophone countries should be obvious. I wonder what Germany has going on?

Article soft paywalled.

Something something “x quantity of dudes could take out a gorilla barehanded if they just committed”

I think.

They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.

Once they no longer need your labor, you are an externality to them. A cost to be cut.

A failed cult would actually fail at some point, as in run out of money and lose the property.

These guys? Nope. I’m not sure a nuclear holocaust would uproot them at this point.

There’s a psychic/tarot reader on the highway near me that’s been around as long as I can remember, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a car parked out front.

When I was a kid I was lucky enough to go on a Boy Scout sailing trip around the Florida Keys and snorkel around the reefs there.

I still distinctly remember the captain telling me to enjoy them while they’re around because they’ll probably be wiped out by 2030. Seems like that might have been optimistic.

Moose don’t fuck around. They’re dumb as shit and territorial. They kill more people than grizzlies IIRC.

Whenever and wherever “settlers” are publicly lashing out with violence, the IDF is on standby to immediately destroy any Palestinian resistance to their provocation.

I’m pretty sure competent militaries store their munitions in networks of dozens if not hundreds of earthen bunkers per site, specifically so shit like this can’t happen.

264 kilotons is a fuckload of bombs.

Announcements like this are the equivalent of police saying “everybody remain calm!”

They are the institution. It’s not like they’re ever going to say “Yeah, shit’s fucked, guys. Pull all your money out and invest in canned goods and ammunition.”

Many if not all school districts in the States have their funding tied to their performance, so there is a negative incentive to make grades look good. My elementary school tried to place me in their Special Ed program because my grades would have brought the average up there.

Plus, holding back 60, 70, 80% of an entire class just isn’t logistically feasible in most cases.

The internet has made it quite easy for kids to develop an “inner life” that their parents have little to no awareness of, regardless of how attentive they are, though it’s obviously worse if they are not.

Every teacher I hear from (US) these days basically says the newest generation coming up is completely screwed. Unreal levels of behavioral issues that are not being addressed at home. Complete lack of engagement with the lesson plan, unfinished assignments all over. They need to curve grades left and right just to get the majority of the class to pass. The parents are more emboldened than ever to make the teachers’ lives hell over things they know nothing about and refuse to take responsibility for.

It’s easy to brush it off as the standard generational nose-thumbing…but this seems different. Something is really breaking down and I think social media is at the center of it.

That cuts into Bethesda’s paid re-release.

That goodwill can change in an instant, especially if they are releasing a competing product, and especially if the legal team gets in the loop rather than the development staff.

Yeah, his convictions rang true, but he ultimately failed to accomplish what he set out to do.

If you got 20 guys with AR-15s together and tried to raid, like, the Glock factory in Smyrna, GA, you wouldn’t meet much resistance either. It’s not like there’s a military garrison there. But you’d be fucked when you got surrounded by the local police, the county sheriff’s department, the state police, county SWAT, state SWAT, the FBI, the ATF, and on and on. Which is basically the equivalent of what happened.

1936 Olympics were held in Berlin, when the Nazi party held power. I hope this gains traction, but the IOC are not the most moral characters out there.
