He didn't fuck with anything. For them it was money well spent. Think of all the things that used to be coordinated and all the information shared on Twitter. That's gone, or at least seriously degraded, that's what they bought.

Lingua franca dude. I've never heard "hit the wall" used outside the man-o-sphere. Maybe not exclusively incel, but incel adjacent at least.

I imagined work as a building with a big neon sign out front that said "work".

Yeah, they kind of had a point until they busted out the incel-speak at the end.

Shit, I don't even think it has to be subtle. People emigrate all the time for a variety of reasons. And most of them are much less compelling than "I'm surrounded by people who might decide to murder my entire family any day."

They have no responsibility to stick it out and take the risk just because other people, including myself, don't want to see the settlers win.

It seems like it was just yesterday some would bring up some millennial kids bullshit and someone else would respond; "you know they're all adults now, right?"

Now it's starting to happen with zoomers?

I don't know where I was going with this. I'm going to go take my Geritol now.

Exactly. I get the frustrations of the son and grandson of factory workers that finds it hard to imagine anything more than working at Walmart wanting to tear it all down. What I don't understand is my neighbor in Dana Point.

I assume that's a gif because I remember that line and it's a perfectly hilarious response, but I just see a pic.

Gifs don't seem to work for me. Is that a problem with Jerboa?

Yeah, insta-fail is just lazy design. Becoming undetected again is fun.

Found it, enjoy!

And Mel Gibson. When they were lobbying to get rid of the regulations, the supplement industry did commercials that had Mel's home getting raided by SWAT-looking guys for having supplements.

Occupied West Taiwan

As I understand it, that's some Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson shit.

Back in the 70s liberal/liberalism meant pretty much the same thing in the U.S. as elsewhere. Nixon even called his reelection something along the lines of "a victory for western liberal democracy." Part of liberalism is a focus on rights of the individual, including civil rights. Civil rights and many other liberation movements of the era used the language of that aspect of liberalism.

Enter a bunch of religious assholes of the time. They loved all the pull-yourself-up-by-your-bootstraps, right to private property, greed, etc. of individual rights but had a big problem with women wearing pants and expecting to be able to go to work without being sexually assaulted, gay people existing openly and breathing, and probably the civil rights movement too but it was going out of style to be open about that. They started using liberal/liberalism in a denigrating way to describe feminists, LGBT people, and any other group that got their puritanical knickers in a twist.

After a couple decades the terms were completely divorced from their original political theory definitions which would, I think, have Republicans considered more liberal than Democrats. But I suppose that could depend on which aspects of liberalism you give more weight to.

I keep hearing about Niagara and everyone says the same thing, it's different.

Could you describe how it's different? Just the setup, or is it different when you're using it?

Even in Maine and Nebraska, two of their electrical votes are statewide just some are allocated to CDs. A state's electrical votes are determined by their total number of senators and representatives. The ones that correspond to the two senators are statewide.

I don't have any books anymore. I took them all, several hundred, to Goodwill a few years ago. I hadn't bought any in years because I've buying ebooks exclusively for a long time now. I have about 700 in my reader and almost any Internet connected device I have access to. My reading list is too long to reread anything, I thought others might get some use out of them.

Not having books in the house doesn't mean what it once did.

A person would only drop a couple points over time. 80s, and especially 70s, would be significantly impaired.

Yeah, this is easy. Find a house, airplane, or mega yacht that costs just over 100mm, offer 100mm cash today, then wait 29-30 days for your billion.

Believe this hype; You can make a difference.

I lived in Florida in 2000. If I had recruited a couple friends, and I knew people who would have been down, and we drove vans back and forth to the polls all day...

Ban or severely restrict abortion.

Ban or severely restrict porn.

Ban or severely restrict contraception.

Ban or severely restrict divorce.

When do we start hearing them question the concept of marital rape? That shit was legal in every U.S. state until the 70s and not made illegal nationwide until '93.
