What I mean is, did Gandhi actually say any of that?
It's like Abraham Lincoln famously said: "don't trust everything you say attributed to famous people on the internet, it doesn't cost anything that slap some words on a photo"
Australian Hank Hill
"I tell you hwhat, whilst I've been on the tele with ya, some tuggahs been hwackin in mah traila"
Perfect redditor question where you can just ask your son or husband, but no we should ask a bunch of random strangers on the Internet.
But for the record, goddamn right I loved sticks when I was a kid. I'm a goddamn homonid.
Oh great, it's this fuckin guy.
It seems like both sides of the political spectrum have had plenty of time to remember that this guy's a fuckin piece of shit, but everyone seems to just keep on forgetting and handing him jobs that aren't just jail cell attendant.

Man I sure am glad everything is fine according to the government. It'd be really awkward if everything wasn't fine.
I feel like the instagram ideal woman is proof positive that men have nothing to do with unrealistic beauty standards -- no man alive wants women to look like that.
It's really tough, because you need both.
On one hand, you do need to protect kids from the most brutal stuff out there and at first most things since you don't want to have them being wired up to insane degenerate stuff right from the womb. Brains wire themselves according to stimuli and if you allow really horrid stuff through all the time it'll wire their brains in horrid ways that arent conducive to a good and stable future.
On the other hand, someday your kids will be on their own and they'll be exposed to everything the world has to offer and if you just pretend it doesn't exist then they'll get immediate shock exposure to all of it the moment you're not there to put the blinders on, and that can have huge backlash implications as well. Look at the 21 year olds who never drank a drop of alcohol who go nuts once exposed without guard rails.
I think the key is to have a plan to slowly introduce the world in a measured and consistent way so kids have the opportunity to learn about the world but have appropriate guardrails at each stage of development ultimately culminating in the least restrictive guard rails so they're being trusted more and more leading up to the big day that they wont have any guard rails from you anymore.
Wait... Do some people think saying "no bot" or using a hashtag will stop a malicious bot?
Because that's ridiculous and silly. Wishful thinking at best.
I find its output is a bit middling, but I guess it would make sense for an aggregation of a bunch of professional writers acting as a genetic verisimilitude engine would be a bit middling since that's what would be generally aiming at.

What's your angle on that statement?
People hate on the baby boomers for being the last generation right after the postwar boom, but every generation including them has had serious challenges. The boomers often saw their comfy domestic union jobs disappear or become shadows of their former selves, gen x experienced a really bad recession early on in their lives, the millennials experienced the 2008 financial crisis and things haven't been nearly as good as the numbers suggest after that, Gen Z has never seen good times in their adult lives, and Gen Alpha is being born during an era of tent cities and mass deaths of despair. The fact that we did have some outliers like the tech industry and the oil industry for a while doesn't change the overall picture.
So it hasn't really been getting better except in little zones. With millennials and gen z having way fewer kids, however, the population is set to crash, and when that sort of thing happens usually the lot of the common man changes and the secular cycle begins a new golden age. The millennials will largely miss it entirely I expect, Gen Z will start to see it (hopefully), and with luck Gen Alpha will really get to experience a general upswing in quality of life. At the moment Africa is looking like it's having a bit of a baby boom, but Peter Zeihan has suggested that's in large part due to the mass investment of the baby boomers with their retirement funds, so it isn't something that's going to keep happening as they burn through their retirements and such, instead that money is going to be repatriated to buy exlax and dog food.
Ironically, KOTOR 2 basically was what the new trilogy desperately wanted to be, but unlike the new trilogy people really like KOTOR 2 (in spite of it only being half done) because it's made with love and ambition to make a great star wars thing.
Saw this, now I'm dead. A dead hotdog.
One thing I love about reading The Adventures of Tom Sawyer with my son is that while I'm reading about this little kid being a fearless little twit, my son is trying to launch himself head first off the couch and only seems to care about the consequences once his face hits the ground. "Boys will be boys" indeed!

Rage Against the Machine cucked hard (maybe they always were), but they had some good lines in their music.
Mic Check asks: "Who has the power, that be my question; the priest, the book, or the congregation?"
People seeking power think if only they can get the book and become the priest they'll have power over the congregation. They don't realize that the congregation choose to follow the book, listen to the priest, and that can go away at any time -- then they're angry that the book and their collar means nothing as people turn away.
Exodos is SSS tier.
Holy crap, it lets you play over 7000 MS-DOS games, and it catalogues the settings required to make the games work so they all start with a click. The full version is a whopping 1TB(!!!!!), the lite version only contains metadata and is still 6GB, and when you go to install a game it downloads it using bittorrent from no doubt legal sources.
It even lists some of those old shareware games everyone has forgotten.
People who aren't old as the hills might not know this, but even if you had a top tier computer back in the 90s, you didn't have any guarantee that a game would run. I was subscribed to gaming magazines back then (as was the style at the time) and you'd have a game that didn't claim to need anything special, and it'd crash on startup -- completely dead, never to run. Same with some shareware, the stars aligned and it didn't want to run and it didn't matter what you did with your config.sys or autoexec.bat it wasn't running, so that's incredible that even for the old shareware stuff you can just click, download, and play.
In the United States at least, it's already been argued and won in court that the police have no duty to serve and protect. If you call up because your kids are about to be murdered, and they do absolutely nothing for 4 days, and your kids are in fact murdered, well I guess you should have raised less murderable kids.
I've got respect for many police. There are people who walk towards situations that many of us would run away from and have to deal with the thankless task of dealing with situations without a win scenario. Regardless, the institution itself is no less corrupt than any other government institution.
