State affiliated NPR was of course upset about the Supreme Court ruling against affirmative action. And I remember them distinctly saying how it will make blacks less likely to want to go to universities if they are less likely to be around their own kind.

So, ethnocentrism is okay when blacks do it. Of course. But don't you dare express the same sentiment if you are white! Then you are just a white supremacist!

Don't forget that they hate you and want you dead.

@ChurnHinge @Bead @Shadowman311 I don't think he said it specifically, but Logitech controllers would be the lowest grade for electronics reliability (I think it goes down to something like 3 or 4), when they needed it to be a 1. As in, the most reliable and you never want it to fail (pacemakers are made with this grade in mind).

So it was absolutely stupid to use something like that controller because the creators would for sure expect a high enough margin of failure.

@deprecated_ii Too many of the masses take the media reports at face value (as well as not questioning anything else).

As for the western advisors, they are either in denial or they are just trying to keep the propaganda campaign going long enough hoping that Ukraine will win.

@Stahesh Run by Counts? 🤔

@FinalDresdonation I don't know that they are "secretly based" or not. Just stating the most plausible portions of the theory of population control. Based or not, it is obvious that people living longer means greater costs to keep them alive when the government has promised them money and the fact that old people vote more actively than any other group.

If they are secretly based, I can see a case of classic misdirection being the reason for the apparent gayness. They could just be gay though.

If you are going to kill off any group in particular, it makes sense to eliminate those that society is not dependent on for continuance. Old people are not going to produce any more children themselves and are usually a net drain on resources (e.g. Social Security, Medicare).

This is not to say that there would not be some negative consequences for the family structure or other issues, but at least these people have lived long enough and are not going to be necessary for society to survive.

I am not inclined to believe this story, as it makes little sense for "the media" to place blame on governments when they are directly aligned with them. But there is one thing that makes sense if the clot shots are a depopulation tool. That being the additional doses causing more problems by design.

Consider who were the main people targeted for boosters. It was the elderly and other "high risk" people. Those that are not/no longer productive.

@Granwalder @sickburnbro I would like to think this would amount to something substantial, but too many times whenever a state government is against the federal government, the federal government wins. Not because they are better, but often because the state government is not willing to go all the way in defiance against the federal government.

@WashedOutGundamPilot I will give one criticism of many libertarians. Many of them look at issues in isolation and do not consider the consequences that follow from supporting a position in relation to their other goals.

Example: they will talk about having open borders happily while not realizing that an open border policy is retarded when we still have a welfare state. They somehow think they can "take care of that later."

If you are going to support open borders, get rid of welfare first.

@WashedOutGundamPilot The guy in the pic is clearly anti-libertarian, as the flag is anti-Don't-Tread-On-Me (Don't Tread on Me is very much in the libertarian camp).

Regardless of what your thoughts are on libertarians, this guy is just a straight up leftist/socialist.

@kaiservenom Ahh, the standard "the vaccine is safe, effective, and amazing" while at the same time claiming that it will not do it's supposed job effectively when there are people who are unvaxxed.

Even if it is just "reducing symptoms" (not what a vaccine is supposed to do), shouldn't that be enough to make faggots like this not be all up in arms that others are not taking the shots? If it does it's job, then the vaxxed should be okay, right?

Often, it is women who for some reason do not care to put in that extra effort. It seems to bleed over into other areas often too, such as diet and exercise. I see a lot more cases of fat women who "go to the gym" than fat men, as they are going there only to put in a half hearted attempt at "working out" (i.e. doing very little effort on the elliptical).

Pic related to bad parking: women are so bad at parking it can be seen from space.

Whenever the statement "women are bad at parking" is made, it can lead to the wrong conclusion. That being that parking your car is a skill issue rather than a consideration issue. In the event you did not do a proper job of parking your car, what should you do?

The correct answer is to take a little extra time to park your car. Those that do not take the time or thought to adjust their car to park properly are simply failing to put in the proper effort and consideration.

@skylar @WashedOutGundamPilot Maybe it will work on women, but certainly not on men.

@WashedOutGundamPilot Fair enough. I just remember my high school days, and it was most certainly not difficult to pass/qualify for varsity sports. Perhaps it was just easy for me. But it still is not that significant.

@WashedOutGundamPilot >all while maintaining the GPA required for varsity

Is this supposed to be considered a major hurdle? I recall all you need is a C average, which is easy to do. It's high school, it's not that hard.

But yes, those who are in varsity sports do have to work hard to get on the team. Sure, genetics helps, but it only gets you so far when your competition also has genetics helping them too. So coasting on genetics is not an option.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @CoQ_10 To make matters worse, it looks like she saw the formula as specific to her field of research rather than a general solution for solving for the area under a curve. Why else would she label it as being for "Glucose Tolerance and Other Metabolic Curves?"

So even when reinventing a worse version of a wheel, she still fails at abstract thinking (big shock I know).
