@shortstories women were educated at the elementary school level prior to women's rights so they could read, write, etc.

women's education (to a point) isn't the problem. Women's rights are the problem.

TIL that Nazis support women's rights because women supposedly voted for Hitler en masse, and thus taking women's rights away would be bad because women have proven to be good Nazi supporters in the past.

The truth it that in 1930s Germany religion was vastly more impactful, and Protestant women only supported the Nazis due to them being the Protestant party. None of that is replicatable in the modern world.

@leespringfield1903 whenever someone pulls the "does Israel have a right to exist" trick to try to paint deflect attention from Israel's war crimes and ethnic cleansing and make the issue your "anti-Semitism", just say these 7 words:

Did Rhodesia have a right to exist?

@lichelordgodfrey @Terry The concept of "the living constitution" wherein Judges can re-write the Constitution and make shit up without amending the Constitution or even passing a law was spearheaded by Woodrow Wilson and the Progressives in the 1900s.

Women are the key voting block of the Progressives. Without women voting the Progressives would have never been able to get where they are. Blacks are 15% of the population. Gays are 5%. Jews are 2%. The math doesn't add up without women.

@Terry women sharing how they can't wait to vote and save abortion because that's the most important issue happening right now.

@Jdogg247 I would roll with it and let the PCs establish this little society as their hub, let them establish an emotional connection to the people there, and then I would introduce the BBEG of the campaign who comes with his army because the king hasn't paid the annual tribute to him.

When he realizes the PCs killed his vassal, he demands tribute from this nascent democracy or he will kill everyone, forcing them to abolish all their welfare as they beg the PCs to help before they starve.

@sardonicsmile it might be worth it if you have bad credit, but if your credit is fine, don't worry about it>

Take 2024 off from investing. The markets are too fake and gay at the moment. Maybe after the election things will change.

Your rights didn't come from God, nor were they granted to you from the government.

Your rights are a formalization of what you are willing to kill and die for.

If you're willing to kill and die for something, no matter how absurd, it will be recognized as a right.

If you're unwilling to kill or die for the rights your ancestors killed and died for, then expect those rights to be taken away from you.

No piece of paper or judge can protect you from your own cowardice and weakness.

@ButtWorldsMan As long as you pose it as a good thing, everyone acknowledges that women's rights crashes births. However, pose it as a bad thing and everyone scratches their heads about what is causing the demographic collapse and wildly speculates about what the solutions could be. The only options on the table are:

- more welfare for women
- more welfare for brown women (immigration)
- the AI/robots will save us somehow.

@ButtWorldsMan just google "empowering women" and "overpopulation" and take your pick.

@ButtWorldsMan they never connect the dots when presented as a bad thing. They openly admit that empowering women lowers birthrates and that it's the best weapon against overpopulation and climate change.

When you talk about underpopulation they say that we aren't giving women enough welfare.

Did your pampered regime of choice, say, the Soviet Union, spice'n'shiet it's own statistical measurements like this when it existed?

>Just over a year ago, we commented on the "massive" revisions that the statistical arm of Biden administration's Department of Energy - the Energy Information Administration (EIA)...

>[from @zerohedge] "The Biden admin will not stop fabricating data and draining the SPR to push the price of oil lower"

>Adding to those who questioned the 'fabrication' that:
>[from @zerohedge] "When is the last time demand estimates were revised lower"

>Zoom forward a year and the 'revisions' across multiple (government-supplied) macro data items are now well known and widespread... and statistically noteworthy that the revisions tend to be negative (implying the initial data was 'optimistic')...

>Payrolls (7 of the last 10 months have seen downward revisions)...

>Consumer Confidence (9 of the last 12 months have seen confidence revised lower)...

>The situation has become so widespread that even the mainstream media is forced to admit that there is something odd going on.

>Specifically, circling back to our initial thoughts, Reuters reports this morning that a string of dramatic revisions to official U.S. oil consumption data have unnerved market participants who rely on the figures to trade.

>The EIA published a monthly update last week that showed U.S. oil consumption at a seasonal record in May as motorists burnt more gasoline than even before the pandemic.

>That data conflicted with weekly updates published that month showing oil and fuel demand struggling to even match last year's levels.

>The EIA says the weekly figures for May were off because preliminary readings overestimated gasoline output and undercounted exports. The agency does not expect weekly estimates to be as accurate as monthly data, but to be consistent in showing general trends.

>Of course it just happens that the initially 'weak' demand figures helped lower crude and gasoline prices at a time when inflation was rearing its ugly head once again and Bidenomics was hitting the wall. And as is the case with payrolls revisions (or consumer confidence), traders reactions to the revisions are dramatically less sensitive than they are to the original prints.

>However, as Reuters reports, these discrepancies (we are being polite) are starting to make market participants question the version of reality they are being sold.

>"It makes you wonder why anyone is paying attention to the weekly numbers," said Tom Kloza, head of energy analysis at Oil Price Information Service (OPIS). Many fuel marketers have expressed disbelief over the revisions the EIA made to its numbers in May, he added.

>A trader at one of the largest commodities distribution firms said the revisions left them befuddled, and warned such changes could ultimately hurt consumers as decisions on how much fuel to import are influenced by the EIA data.

>"It's a trend that's a little concerning to me," GasBuddy analyst Patrick De Haan says.

>"The EIA has been the bedrock for analysts, but skeptics may be gaining more validity to arguments that the EIA numbers aren't jiving to the real world."

Jivin' to the real world, you say?
