>Running out of sand, you ask, how can that be? After all, 33 percent of Earth is covered in desert, and many of these deserts have copious amounts of sand (not all of them, though). Yes, that’s true, but desert sand, like sea sand, lacks the compressive strength needed to construct houses, skyscrapers, roads, and bridges. In other words, when it comes to the world of construction, both desert sand and sea sand are utterly useless. This is why there is a race to secure the limited amounts of appropriate sand available.

>Scarcity breeds desperation and this desperation is particularly palpable in China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has deployed “pirates” to raid neighboring countries. In truth, the “pirates” have been plundering and pillaging for years. In recent times, however, they have zeroed in on Taiwan, stripping the island of its valuable deposits.

The US is scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard it may break it entirely.

>For example, politicians on the right have been found to be more attractive than those on the left. Higher right-wing attractiveness scores were also observed among young (male) adults in the general population, though not among pundits. Masculine facial features may also be relevant: Masculine characteristics such as upper body strength appear to be associated with conservative economic preferences, and a preference among conservative voters for masculine-looking males is well established.

Physiognomy is back with a vengeance, interesting paper throughout.

>We utilised data from the OkCupid dating site to study preferences for body parts in attraction judgements. We found that most people (71%) have a stated preference for faces, with non-Europeans finding other parts more important: lower parts (“butt/legs”; 8%), chest (“chest/breasts”; 3%), and Other (18%). We regressed these preferences on likely causal variables. We found that slower life history speed, female sex, and higher intelligence predict preference for faces and negatively for buttocks/legs/chest, replicating previous research. We further found that most non-European ethnicities have a stronger preference for buttocks and legs, in particular Africans, Hispanics, and Amerindians (Native Americans). We explored how these patterns may help to explain cultural differences in mating display for different body parts and how they may be explicable in evolutionary terms.

Biases confirmed.

@WashedOutGundamPilot I would simply put it a different way.

The concept of "equality' strips men of their authority (patriarchy) in exchange for a utopian ideal that doesn't exist.

Women (and society) depend on men, but men have no authority.

Women want "equal" authority, but require men to take all responsibility because they're incapable of it biologically.

Patriarchy is balance. Egalitarianism is insanity. Feminism is suicide.

>A new poll by Change Research surveyed 1,033 registered voters between 18 and 34 to ask about their political leanings and dating preferences. It discovered that women's biggest red flag when looking for a relationship is a date revealing they’re a MAGA Republican, with 76% of women saying it’s a turnoff. The second biggest red flag for women is people who “have no hobbies” (66%), and the third is those who say “All Lives Matter” (60%).

>Fifty-five percent of women say it’s a big turnoff for potential partners to listen to the Rogan podcast. They also have a problem with people who “refuse” to see the “Barbie” movie (53%).

>in Italy after the unanimous approval of law 93/2023 (gazzettaufficiale.it/eli/id/2023/07/24/23G00103/sg), copyright holders will be able to force all Italian internet providers to block access to a certain ip and/or internet domain, the penalty to those who refuse is a hefty fine, all internet providers within 30 minutes of the blocking request will have to confirm that they have blocked the resource to avoid more hefty fines.

>This law will give enormous power to private companies, since all blocking requests ARE NOT SUPERVISED BY HUMANS, no judge or law enforcement will have to confirm the blocking, anyone who owns copyrighted content will be able to access a ticket platform (torrentfreak.com/piracy-shield-insane-iptv-blocking-system-revealed-and-easily-located-230819/) and enter a new ip and/or domain to be blocked (all internet providers will have to handle the ticket in maximum 30 minutes and confirm the blocking).

>Greece’s conservative government is working on a plan to integrate hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants to fill worker shortages in agriculture, construction and tourism, ministry officials said on Wednesday.

>The new proposal would look at allowing the 300,000 migrants estimated already to be living illegally in Greece to work in some sectors, Migration Minister Dimitris Kairidis told state broadcaster ERT.

>A billboard truck drove through the streets surrounding Harvard’s campus Wednesday, digitally displaying the names and faces of students allegedly affiliated with student groups that signed onto a controversial statement on Hamas’ attack on Israel.

>By Tuesday evening, at least four online sites had listed the personal information of students [more in the article] linked to clubs that had signed onto the statement, including full names, class years, past employment, social media profiles, photos, and hometowns.

>Weenick added that the Harvard University Police Department had “stepped up” its presence on campus and was “coordinating closely with local, state, and federal authorities.”

This crackdown is simply unprecedented in fury, and I keep cover of race realists in universities and the like.

>The EU Commission proposes to oblige providers to search all private chats, messages, and emails automatically for suspicious content – generally and indiscriminately. The stated aim: To prosecute child sexual exploitation material (CSEM). The result: Mass surveillance by means of fully automated real-time surveillance of messaging and chats and the end of privacy of digital correspondence.

>On 11 May 2022 the European Commission presented a proposal which would make chat control searching mandatory for all e-mail and messenger providers and would even apply to so far securely end-to-end encrypted communication services. Prior to the proposal a public consultation had revealed that a majority of respondents, both citizens and stakeholders, opposed imposing an obligation to use chat control. Over 80% of respondents opposed its application to end-to-end encrypted communications.

Cannot stress how Draconian this is. The EU Leviathan is terrified.

>Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is running dozens of ads on games like Angry Birds and social media platforms like YouTube and X, formerly Twitter, justifying its heavy air bombardment of Gaza in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7.

>"We are being killed in our streets," one ad, which ran on YouTube in the hours after Israel began retaliatory airstrikes on Gaza last week. "Murdered in our homes. Executed in our beds. Israel is under attack. We will make sure that those who harm us pay a heavy price."

>An X user posted a video on October 14 saying in Dutch that their six-year-old son saw one of the ads while playing Angry Birds. An Insider reporter saw the same ad on YouTube on October 8, just two days after Hamas first attacked. Dutch media reported that Apple is investigating the ads.

Israeli suprematism goes global.

There is truly nothing more American than wishing gay prison rape upon your fellow countrymen who 'step out of line'.

I am not being sarcastic. There is truly nothing more American than this.
