Man, I can’t believe Canada harbors Hamas. I guess Israel is going to invade Canada now.

Science works best when people are:

• Creatively thinking
• Use ideas from other scientific areas for their scientific area

The book “How We Got To Now” does a fabulous job of showing that science is not a uniform step by step process instead is a tree with different branches.

AC and refrigerators all started because someone wanted to ship ice to tropical locations for money.

SETI is another prefect example. A bunch of scientists sat around and said to themselves “We have all these new instruments for space. What if we tried to find alien life with it?”

People who build their entire identity around X.

X = Ammosexuals, MAGA, Muskrats, Gamers™, Christo-Facists, Corporate Bootlickers, etc.

That rock is inclusive! It doesn’t let any homeless person sleep there. The rock does not care about skin color, race, sexual orientation, gender, etc.

I’m calling the DNC technique of wrapping Reaganomics in a friendly identity politics outer shell “woke-washing” because of how similar it is to “green-washing”.

Some More News did a segment on how Regan forced the Democrat Party to go further right in order to achieve power. Same thing happened in the UK after Thatcher. The Labour Party swung right to get votes.

I don’t have the data however I would imagine, that after the the conservative 80s, a lot left wing parties moved to the right to capture votes.

Also Regan elevated Jerry Falwall and the Christian Religious Right.

Coverage naturally gravitated toward Lynchburg, Virginia, preacher Jerry Falwell, who had supported Anita Bryant’s 1977 anti-gay-rights crusade, and Virginia Beach television mogul Pat Robertson, who was involved with the Washington for Jesus rally of April 1980 (scheduled to coincide with the anniversary of the first landing at Jamestown).

Falwell, head of the Moral Majority (another nod to Nixon), was more eager to enter the political arena. He thus became the first anointed spokesperson of what was then commonly called the “Religious New Right.”

During the 1980 campaign, Ronald Reagan and the evangelical conservatives engaged in a very public courting ritual. Evangelicals had entertained possible GOP alternatives to Carter since at least 1979. Options abounded— ranging from right-wing purist Philip Crane of Illinois to early front-runner John Connally of Texas—but Reagan, long a darling of conservatives in general, was an especially compelling choice. By the time Moral Majority executive director Robert Billings signed on as a Reagan campaign adviser, the deal was pretty much sealed.

Truly Regan was a piece of shit.

All this tells me that it is easy to grift people with too much money.

Burn a ton a cash to become the only major player in the market and the proceed to enshitify as no one else has anywhere to go.

The Global West is terrible at preventing genocides.

Rwanda, Darfur, Rohingya, etc. If it’s not in the Global West’s interest, it’s fuck them victims.

It’s porn. In fact, it’s porn all the way down.

I read this entire thread thinking we were talking about fleshlights and not flashlights.

Patient gamers for the win!

Harvested skulls have to go to the Blood God, Khorne.

All strikes have to be done during this hours and only for this specific reasons. We don’t want to upset anyone with the strikes.

WW1 was just a massive dick measuring contest.

Everyone knows armor that has wing means you go faster.

This is why we need the SCP Foundation.

If you eat a piece of cheese, you get to levitate for 10 seconds no more, no less. Doesn’t matter the size of the cheese or the type (this includes lactose free).

I’ve heard stories about people putting on parental locks or making it harder for their parents to access Fox News and other far right media. Once that cancer has been cut off from the source, the parents started becoming like their old selves.
