Kirk Longuski

@Obamna_eth No, they don't.

@KLonguski oh well that's funny because they definitely say that in multiple studies including the ones i just showed you.

the reason why this keeps happening, in every country the right-wing wins, is because once they get into power and see the actual numbers regarding birth rates and the economy and the labour force, they realize if they do as they promised they would destroy the country.

@Obamna_eth Millennials then? No, you would also not convince scientists that Gen Alpha will have a lower life expectancy than Millennials, especially since the article you seem most convinced by a) is only about americans and b) puts blame pretty squarely on the opioid epidemic

@KLonguski gen alpha are not gen z's parents and you know that you disingenuous RETARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Obamna_eth They don't actually say what you thought they did, I was just reading through them. I don't think you could get any scientist to say "Gen Alpha will have a lower life expectancy than Gen Z", especially with the links you provided. A few of which are about other generations.

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo notice how we went from > there is no evidence to > those don't say what you think they say to > yeah those say what you said they say but could you disregard them because i asked you to? no. i'm not doing that, actually. lol.

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo So you're not taking the bet?

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo i am explaining to you why i have already won the bet. go on. try to post screen shots to PDFs that you will be too cheap to pay $25 to access because you're a fucking moron.

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo So again, are you taking the bet?

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo show me the conclusions of both of these studies then you fat retard. you're literally just making shit up.

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo Neither of those headlines are supported by the actual studies, you really need to understand that scientists don't publish to WUNC news or the Toronto Star. Pop science only makes you seem knowledgeable to people who don't know better.

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo the gas lighting is fucking disgusting.

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo No, none of those links prove that current generation's life expectancy will be lower than those previous. You didn't expect anyone to read the links so you thought you could just Google some bullshit and paste the urls.

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo that is, you already lost the bet because i don't say things i don't know for a fact.

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo Is that a yes, you're going to take the bet?

@KLonguski @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo wunc.org/health/2018-12…

@Obamna_eth @kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo I'll bet it won't. Put your money where your mouth is.

@kaiser_kenny @jokereborn74550 @actsmaniac @sleepy_devo this will be the first generation to have a smaller life span than their parents in potentially a thousand years btw.

Active on X the Everything App and Letterboxd, those Redditors are your first cousins, man

@ignor3th1s @hecubian_devil Views of a candidate are completely orthogonal to a candidate's actual positions. Not just on immigration, on anything.

@hecubian_devil I dont know a single democrat against keeping bad immigrants out. Literally not a single politician holds this view.

This misunderstands how moral reasoning works. What the median voter wants is naive but straightforward: let the good people in and keep the bad people out. The Dems will never—no matter how much “tough talk” they do—be trusted as the party of “keep the bad people out.” If they want to win on immigration, they need to make “let the good people in” the more salient way of evaluating the immigration issue, and they need to highlight how the GOP is brutalizing good people and ejecting them from the country. Note that when the GOP took charge on this issue and dominated favorability, they didn’t do it by talking about “compassion”—they didn’t do the reverse of what Adam is describing here. They relentlessly hammered the “keep the bad people out” part of the equation and emphasized every emotionally-loaded, morally-salient example they could to paint the Dems as letting the bad people in. If Dems were smart, they’d do the inverse of this. Where you need to protect your flank—if you’re the Dems, “keeping the bad people out,” or if you’re the GOP, “letting the good people stay/in”—is when you *govern*. You need to *not raise the salience of the framing that benefits your opposition through visible, emotionally-salient examples of failure*. Dems probably do need to *deliver* border security to win on immigration in the long run, but they really shouldn’t *talk* about it nearly so much, because they’ll *never* be the trusted party on that issue and they’re just doing the GOP’s work for them by constantly raising the salience of the “keep the bad people out” part of the median voter’s immigration dual mandate

@grain99806254 @Bolshie_Boy Good thing we have dry archives.

@Bolshie_Boy The best long-term knowledge-preserving technology still documents in dry archives

"What if there's a catastrophic civilizational reversion to the Stone Age" being one of the big objections to nuclear power is so funny like opposing building hospitals on the grounds of "what if one of the doctors spontaneously contracts anthrax and infects the whole city?"

I'm gonna prove something. I have a Google Doc of every single Pokémon, from 1-1025. COMMENT YOUR FAVORITE and I'll add your name until we've found someone who likes every single one!

@Xiuying @gsatkowiak It was, and there's a Long John Silver behind it. It's down the street from the fairgrounds

@gsatkowiak Why does it seem like the building across the street was one of the old school Sit down Pizza Hut restaurants with the pizza buffet.

The actual crisis of masculinity is the leftist dudes who all live in big cities and work comfortable professional jobs and feel such a crushing insecurity about their manhood that they fall for every candidate with the aesthetics of the Brawny Towel man to compensate

@CartoonsHateHer "minotaur rapists" you repeat yourself

@DefenderOfBasic It's fun! I haven't read any of the SCP stuff. The climax and ending are the worst part, but there's a lot of good small neat vignettes leading up to that.

has anyone actually read "antimemetics divison" ? i have questions to ask you. I have never seen any actual discussion of it, everyone keeps making the same stupid joke. I feel like it's hurting the book

@molochofficial See and when I say people who write for a living should be forced to have a real job at gun point, no one understands.

So as I understand it there’s a piece going around by a person who believes they’re the first to identify a new American aesthetic/subculture but it’s just “alt weaboo townie”?

@Costa_Eddy27 @hdtfgame That's FruitFucker

@hdtfgame I love that robot’s design. He looks like a trash can with legs lol

Good point
