There are religious extremist nutjobs on both the right and the left, idolizing their icons, trying to shun or punish nonbelievers, and attempting to use the State to force their religious values onto everyone else.
The main difference is that the ones on the right know that they're in a religion.

Proof EVs are part of the digital revolution:
Classically, damage to cars has always been analog. Damage is proportional to the severity of the wreck. A minor fender bender might only do $1000 of damage; you have to get in a severe wreck to total it.
EV damage is binary. There's either no damage at all, or you pass a certain threshold and the car becomes a bomb.
(The problem is that a repair shop often has no way to know if that threshold has been passed)

Pacific Northwest weather report. Currently 16°F after a high today of only 19. At these temperatures, the meth is crystalizing into new forms of ice. Heroin is freezing halfway down the needle.
Homeless people are freezing to the street, stuck in ice floes of their own urine. It's so cold, the Democrats are thinking about putting their hands into their *own* pockets.

500-byte Movie Review: San Andreas (2015)
Plenty of action, impressive CGI effects, and the right amount of physics-bending (and breaking) for big-budget disaster porn. Most of the budget clearly went for Dwayne Johnson to headline. Most of the rest into SFX. What was left went to bargain-basement writing and casting.
Still, worth it for gratuitous collapsing buildings and the occasional Carla Gugino wardrobe malfunction. Watching Los Angeles get destroyed can never get old. Thumbs up.

As you slowly freeze to death in your homes because socialist policies have made you unable to afford heat during this unseasonably *winter* weather, at least enjoy this brief lull in global warmist propaganda. The stories and statistics showing how hot the planet is will resume just as soon as the weather gets back with the narrative.

Sometimes, after unsuccessfully trying over and over to understand a particularly difficult concept, the only logical conclusion is not that you're too dumb to get it, but rather that the person trying to explain the concept doesn't get it either.

@npub1ks4…x88p Of course, we're not in an ideal world; people are taught they are entitled to keep their current job. Changing jobs is met with fear and anxiety, and people will fight tooth and nail to stay in a bad job rather than try to find a better one.

@npub1ks4…x88p Free trade.
In an ideal world, if you're good at your job and not being treated well, then you leave and get a different job. The easier it is to get rid of underperformers, the less risk mgmt takes on by extending a job offer, and the easier it is to get a new job.
See places like Europe, where it's nearly impossible to fire someone, and also unreasonably difficult to get a job. Same with unionized vs non-unionized shops in my industry.

2024-01-04 21:08:34

The public goal of every labor union is anticompetitive price fixing in the economic market for human labor. They are anathema to free trade.
The unstated but aggressively sought goal of most labor unions is raw political and ideological activism, without regard to the desires or benefit of the members whose hard work is being exploited to push that agenda.
I will never willingly join a union.

1. The photographs I've seen of this are usually taken when conditions are right for atmospheric lensing.
2. Gravity only pulls; it doesn't push. Air moves upward at ground level because of pressure from other things (sides of box; air rushing in). There's no pressure in space.
3. Pinhole effect / nonparallel lines
4. https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/403460/why-is-moon-light-cold
5. This one raises some good points, but he's shifted the question from "is the earth flat" to "did NASA go to the moon".

>> "They updated the website. It looks modern now"
"modern", in this context, means "rendered entirely in javascript".
"Modern" websites
- more bandwidth
- more CPU (battery)
- slower
- less secure
- less accessible
- difficult or impossible to customize
when compared to sites that render using HTML+CSS

@npub1ffe…c0sn Given information publicly available, the accusation is laughable and should be dismissed with prejudice. If non-public evidence exists, a politically biased prosecutor would have used it in the last three years.
@npub1ks4…x88p is correct I shouldn't stereotype all leftists. Apologies.
I don't have a term for the morally-bankrupt politically-motivated bureaucrats who seem to think "getting" Trump justifies cheating, lying, fabricating evidence, and limiting voters' options.

2023-12-21 20:57:30

The 14th amendment's insurrectionist clause says anyone who "shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion" against the US is ineligible to be President.
What the Colorado SC didn't bother to prove under any rules of evidence is whether or not Trump did that. Leftists seem to take it as an axiom. I believe the evidence does not support that conclusion, and that any honest court would agree with me.
What remains to be seen is whether we have any honest courts remaining in this country.

If she pressed after that (eg: wokesplaining how the CDC tried to extralegally alter HIPAA to include a carve-out for jab mandates that is not in the law), then at that point I'd decline the offer, saying that it's clear the company is willing to violate the law in order to invade employees' privacy, and I'm uncomfortable with that being part of the job description, but thank you for your time and I wish you luck in finding a less ethical candidate.

2023-12-14 21:44:57

Job applications should include questions like "Do All Lives Matter?" and "How many genders are there?"
Follow me on this one. This benefits both the the employer and applicant, woke and unwoke. Employees benefit because they can join companies that share their ideology.
Companies benefit too.
Companies that want to stay in business can find employees who want to work, and woke companies can hire employees who will spend their work hours doing activism.

2023-12-14 21:05:09

Simple racism test for wokeists:
Whenever you propose preferential treatment for one race, replace the word with "white" instead, and re-read the proposal.

@npub1ks4…x88p Not true. You show a lot of evidence of critical thought. You ask questions, even if you don't want to hear the answer, and you challenge what you're told. These are skills not taught in public school (especially questioning authority), so you clearly picked them up elsewhere.

Sometimes, in a fit of hopeless optimism, I try to engage someone online in a rational and intellectually stimulating argument.
The vast majority of the time, I go away disappointed. Most people on social media, being the products of public education, are incapable of critical thinking and rational discourse and instead lead with their feelings.
You'd think I'd eventually learn and give up. But rarely, I encounter another intelligence, and the ensuing arguments can be extremely enlightening.

I do not *believe* in conspiracy theories. Belief is for religious zealots. Scientists and critical thinkers gather evidence and analyze alternative hypotheses before coming to their conclusions.

Does anyone else get "I wish I had told you so" moments?
I've saved myself from some bad life-altering decisions pushed by people with credentials, due to my innate skepticism and distrust for authority. My hesitance often turns out later to be fully justified, but I am at the time unable to articulate myself well enough to convince others to follow my example. So I say nothing.
Now a close friend suffers the consequences of one of those decisions, and I wonder if I should have pushed harder.

"If unregulated “disinformation” were really the threat that governments pretend it to be, you would expect to see public schools teach the critical thinking skills necessary to arm citizens to combat the supposed monstrous surge in unsanctioned propaganda. From the beginning of a pupil’s education, rational argument would be distinguished from logical fallacy. Reason and rigorous investigation would be valued over emotional and subjective appeals to feelings."

When navigating biased media, the content of the information given is often less important than the question of *why* you're being given that particular information.
And for reference, ALL media sources that choose which information you shall get, and which should be hidden from you, are necessarily biased.
The only unbiased source is the firehose of all information -- to which the recipient must apply their own filter (and thus their own biases)

* Cost at least 40x a regular road.
* Can't get more than a trickle charge into a car without driving enough amps to melt asphalt.
* Maintenance is 1000x+ a normal road.

It is said that "snow" is so ubiquitous in eskimo culture that their language has a dozen words for it.
So it also is with "envy" in marxist culture. When socialist uses the words "Equity", "Equality", or especially "Justice", the central emotion is envy. They are jealous of other people, want what they have, and constantly invent new words to justify taking it for themselves.
Don't give in to the redefinition of words by Social Envy Warriors.

Let's just say I may not go out of my way trying to ensure your package arrives in perfect pristine condition.

Propaganda sign 317: "Linked"
eg: "Donald Trump has been linked to Adolf Hitler"
Used without explanation, the propagandist is trying to make a mental connection between two concepts in your brain
The actual "link" is always left unspecified in this propaganda, nebulous, and often completely fictional. But by simply putting two concepts in the same sentence, you have now made the mental association.

The most nefarious lie told to transgendered people is that it's possible to "pass" as the other gender.
Just one more expensive cosmetic surgery (then another, and then one more after that), and you can have a body like you were born to your preferred gender. They tell each other this lie, and doctors reinforce it on their way to a paycheck.
Of course anyone outside the bubble can tell it's not true.
This, more than anything, sets them up for a lifetime of depression and disappointment.

The 2024 election has just entered its 4th year, and I'm proud to say I still don't know who most of the people running are.

@npub14sm…s40g @npub1rjw…hxzf As someone who recently started driving a commercial vehicle (thankfully MUCH smaller than the big trucks), what the HELL is wrong with some people? Do they not understand how fucking pancaked they will be in an emergency stop situation if they're camped in your braking buffer?
And it seems like the smaller and more vulnerable the car, the more likely they are to spend their driving time between hammer and anvil.

@npub12sc…upla It used to be, for sure. That its status is in question is the topic for a different but related rant.

Hollywood, our shared cultural bellweather has jettisoned humility as a virtue.
In a Hollywood script from last century, the cocky obnoxious spoiled brat would always get their comeuppance before the end of the movie.
In today's Hollywood, that character is the protagonist, often as not.
Nowhere is this cultural shift more evident than social media, where unearned arrogance is a default mode of discourse.

@npub1s3x…m8u9 I like this term. It's more precise. The only problem I have is that it doesn't convey my level of disdain quite as well as "corporate"

I've stopped using the term "mainstream media". The old establishment media still exists, but I'm no longer convinced it's "mainstream". That term hardly applies when the majority of people now get their news from tiktok, twitter, and instagram.
The term I now use is "corporate media"

@npub19g3…cx8c Actually, "demonize" is unnecessary hyperbole. I said I don't trust him, for the reasons given. I stand by that analysis.
