Even if you give the regime the benefit of the doubt and say tariffs can bring back manufacturing, it would be vital to have stable and predictable tariffs that are in place for the long term.
Even if Republicans believe their own bullshit, they're still fucking it up.
Many of these early communities on Atheism, which captured me for their sensibility and anti-orthodoxy, evolved into anti-progressivism and eventually evolved into the Redpill and Manosphere which is how millions of young boys today engage with their gender.
Everybody says I'm crazy when I point out that skeptic spaces in the 2010s were just as vulnerable as gamer spaces to hateful ideology. Islamophobia and Western Chauvinism were the red-pills of r/atheism.
In Reeve's book "Black pill", she notices a pattern in the alt-right leadership of terminally-online young men who are socially awkward, good test-takers, and high-IQ*, while having little academic, material, or dating success. Alt-right ideology was heavily correlated to autism. But Reeves points out that these were largely self-diagnosed "autists" who "identify" as having the one disability popularly conceived as a mental advantage. As opposed to all the other disabilities that make your life unworthy of living.
Helo flights are stupid common in dense urban areas. Helo crashes make news because wealthy and important people die when they crash.
Speculation is useless because the NTSB will account for every paint scratch and stripped bolt. (assuming that, the NTSB will exist and be competent post DOGE)
Who's going to build these factories in the US when the tariffs are on-again off-again like a sitcom couple?
We've had about 9 different tariff regimes (all responding to the same "emergency") in a little over two months. Trump thought he could ride into Tokyo on Godzilla's shoulders only to raise a white flag out the bottom of a footprint moments later.
Please explain what Chamberlain was supposed to have done differently. Explain how he was supposed to protect Czechoslovakia with zero military presence and zero contact with any resistance. Explain why Churchill's plan to protect Poland was identical to Chamberlain's plan to protect Czechoslovakia. (thoughts and prayers)
No, the "Chamberlain could have stopped Hitler if only...." meme is reactionary missive against diplomacy. It makes perfect sense, if you don't think about it.
There were two kinds of people in our movement back then, the conservatives and the reactionaries.
No Mr. Brooks, you were all reactionaries. Just because MAGA doesn't go around quoting Edmund Berk doesn't mean that they don't understand him, perhaps better than you. What did Burke advocate for if not for the French Revolutionaries to be brought low and for the kings to be restored?
You're heroes resent extending political power to the bourgeoisie, so please stop talking about what conservatives thinkers want to do for the "working people". Fuck off.
Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn't gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?
It seems like if you want a trade war with China, you'd want partners to help you apply pressure and replace Chinese goods you can't do without. Maybe somewhere like Vietnam for cheap labor; Canada for rare-earth minerals; and the EU to buy expensive American goods and services. Oh no.
I would band up with individuals possessing superior ability or perhaps even supernatural power and strength to help the cops, the government, and protect the status quo.
This is nowhere near as bonkers as Jedi training with live lightsabers. And I don't even mean the younglings. Even Obi Wan and Anikin sparing with live blades is insanely reckless.
The reasoning here is specious and anecdotal. If extreme porno causes sex crimes, wouldn't you expect to see an accompanying rise in SA, incest, and rape? Why does it lead to the thing that the algorithm won't show you? Because the article admits that you have to go elsewhere for the offending media.
This highlighted the fact that most people – around eight out of 10 – caught with images of children being sexually abused are not jailed.
What can this mean other than most of the defendants are adjudicated not to be a threat to children?
And if you think I'm being permissive, this article's whole thesis is that internet porn turns normal dudes into pedos. Thus the offenders are not fully responsible.
No, it's saying Nye is a good person. He's an atheist and not an asshole.
But you do touch on something because it would be a challenge to find someone known for being atheist while also being a decent human being. IDK, maybe Daniel Dennitt?
Works every time for *.webp .
