I read Battlefield Earth and actually enjoyed it, but in the same I enjoyed eg. watching Plan 9 from Outer Space (or the Battlefield Earth movie for that matter.)

It's an abject piece of shit as a book, written late enough in Hubbard's life that nobody dared edit him so there's whole chapters that just sort of repeat, and many of its premises are so stupid it hurts, but its old-timey pulp scifi schlock feel was often very fun.

So yeah, not a good book by any definition, but it was sorta fun and also interesting to read knowing that Hubbard tried to inject his world view into it too. For example the reason why the Psychlo were so eeeeeevil was that they were ruled by the Catrists who'd eg. use psychosurgery or electric shocks to make Psychlos more compliant – knowing that Hubbard absolutely loathed psychiatrists, it's not hard to see that Psychlo Catrist = psychiatrist.

It's such a terrible book, not just because of… you know, Nazis, but because it's atrociously badly written. Rambling and fueled by completely blind hate, and it sets out a vision that's completely detached from reality.

Really gave me similar vibes as listening to Trump talk, a sort of utter disbelief that people actually think he had something worthwhile to say

Saying Mein Kampf is borderline unreadable is bold?

Aww this dude got banned from his instance? His completely incomprehensible magic geometry stuff was sort of entertaining, although I'm preeeetty sure he's crazy as a shithouse rat

maybe they could improve the search results in general

They have no incentive to do that. What they do have an incentive for is showing you a lot of bullshit results that also conveniently happen to use their ad network, so you have to click on multiple pages and see more ads before finding what you were looking for.

Oh look it's the short incel who is convinced that clubs ban short men.

Dude, your problem still isn't your height. Your problem is that you're a bitter and unpleasant husk of a person, who would rather blame everything and everyone else than actually do some self reflection, because that'd mean facing up to the fact that you're the problem – feeeeeeeeeeeemales don't avoid you because you're short, they avoid you because you're you.

You need to lay off the speed

The title lied to me: this is clearly a water puppy and not a water cat!

Also, why is it that seals always sound so damn adorable?!

I wonder how long it'll take for conservatives to try to murderize her

Copeter?

Intelligence (and I don't mean IQ but intelligence as an abstract trait) is probably normally distributed just like the vast majority of other biological traits, so the mean is the median

May you have the life that you deserve

I swear short incel guys are the stupidest people on the planet. The dude this post is referring to was blaming everything else except his own fantastically shitty personality for his lack of feeeeeeeemale attention

These people point out how they want female attention at these clubs, only for these women to deliberately ignore them and go up to taller men instead, and start seducing them, like a bunch of sluts

"I was entitled to feeeeeeeemale attention but didn't get any, therefore the women are sluts."

Your problem isn't your height. Your problem is that you're an unlikeable misogynistic cockwomble

I mean how do you even source a claim like that?

Even giving examples of this supposed bias would be better than essentially just going "they're biased trust me bro"

From The Guardian's live feed on this:

Iran's Khamenei says avenging Haniyeh's killing is 'Tehran's duty'

Avenging Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s assassination is “Tehran’s duty” because it occurred in the Iranian capital, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday.

According to Reuters, Khamenei said Israel had provided the grounds for “harsh punishment” for itself.

“We consider his revenge as our duty,” he said.

There has been no immediate comment from Israel on the strike, which took place hours after Haniyeh attended the inauguration ceremony for Iran’s new president.

I don't understand why people seem to hate this bot. I've seen commenters saying MBFC itself is biased but without actually providing any sources which is sort of ironic, and one bright spark vowed to downvote it every time because "they're begging for donations"

Gall acknowledged that […] her statements about the Black teens "created at least the appearance of racial bias."

Oh it was just the appearance of racial bias? Jesus fuck I wonder what she thinks "real" racism looks like
