@pegobry_en Americans are the old model of the Anglo transported into the modern day. Quebecois are similarly closer to French of 100 years ago than the French of today?

American and French identities are like a horseshoe. Normie Americans and Frenchies dislike each other, but the most deeply American Americans and the most profoundly French Frenchmen actually have deep sympathy for each other.

The two places in North America with their own electrical grids not part of the giant Eastern or Western interconnections are... Texas and Québec. If you know anything about these two places, it makes total sense. By far the two strongest "national" identities within USA and Canada.

@apralky there is no reason to retaliate to a tariff, since tariffs hurt the importer
if the EU raised taxes, should the US raise taxes in retaliation?

@shawngorham 41. Actually coming off right now cause of needle fatigue and I feel like I'm masquerading for deeper health issues. We'll see how it goes.

@Moisty_Mango @jmrphy “My hero”. The guy seems like a self absorbed retard. Similar to yourself. Go train some leaders bud

Stunned to see people reading the Coldplay Cheater as a victim of privacy invasion. Totally wrong frame. This isn't mob sadism, or scapegoating, or some irrational woke backlash. The guy took his paramour in public and embraced her at length. Naively, nonchalantly, glibly. He lacks even the one virtue that even the worst rakes in history could generally muster: discretion. These are the real ingredients of the public reaction.
The single reason he's attracting such extreme ire and mockery, however, is his physical response to the spotlight. I say this with no cruelty and I pity him very much, but as an anthropological matter I feel like this must be the most pathetic physical theatre ever produced by an adult man in the smartphone era. This man's authentic instinct was to hide like a cornered rat. This is a billionaire. He is now facing the fact that his fully developed adult nature is that of a pathetic weasel. And I'm not calling names, he physically slithers away when confronted with a mirror. He goes very far out of his way to arrive in a situation like this, and when his base nature is revealed to the world at the same time it is revealed to him (because he is nothing other than what the world reflects to him), his true, indisputable, objective character is to cower and whimper like a dog. That's the uncanny meaning of this little horror film, and the reason it's particularly captivating of public attention.
I'd say the public response has been roughly proportional to the many and layered crimes against humanity in this 5-second video. To say this man deserves anything in the realm of privacy is absurd.

@FeFiFoPhum @jmrphy Cowering out of frame would have been the last thing I would have done. But what do I know. I train leaders.

@Moisty_Mango @jmrphy Ya sure it’s easy to say what he should’ve done in the moment

@FeFiFoPhum @jmrphy He could have kissed her and made it look like she was just embarrassed to be on kiss cam. Ultimately he’s responsible for not taking leadership.

@thedimitri I’m 5’11 3/4 and trust me when I say amigo the lie would be rounding down 3/4 of an inch instead of up 1/4.

@KorbanKonsult @avaricum777 Do you have any posts to share on the specifics of this?

@wanyeburkett Putting Seattle on the same level as a Philadelphia and Portland is a big L for this list. Move it up a rung

@CorleoneNeek @MrBiberty @NFL_DovKleiman IQ is the best metric to gauge intelligence and the results are pretty consistent…
English

@MrBiberty @NFL_DovKleiman You want there to be a difference so that you can say you are superior mentally, because you feel worthless and you need something to give your life validation! It’s pathetic really 💯 find God❤️

@SeattleIndepen1 I remember April 2020 seeing average age of death from/with Covid was like 80. Spending the next 3 years watching people hyper fixate on a pretty minor threat was really strange

I'm increasingly convinced that large numbers of the American population exist in a perpetual trance, an altered state of consciousness brought about my steady dopamine hits, injured microbiomes, constant media stimulation, and so forth.
There is the old folk wisdom about the danger of trying to awaken a sleepwalker, and I think this holds true. There's been so many times when I've tried to explain simple concepts to people and it just doesn't get through. People seem programmed, unable to think.
It's weird.
