You can't time morality.

@CrashDa46551883 @TransSplendor Conservatives walked as many votes as the PPC got in the last election, over to the liberals. Literally. 120k. We're not the problem. You've already been betrayed. Time to embrace the suck and realize there's no hope left in the Big C.

@TransSplendor The only thing PPC accomplished was splitting the conservative vote, in my riding the CPC got 12000 votes. The PPC 85. There were multiple ridings, especially in Ontario where that many votes would have removed the liberals. PPC helped the liberals retain power.

Complaining about problems every second of your Canadian life while not supporting PPC is cringey. Pierre/CPC are the same team as who you hate. That's why I ignore yall and yall ignore me. Im there for PPC'ers only, those whose actions make sense to me.

@tanpukunokami I'm in Canada - Good luck Japan! We will not make it.

I used to think Japan had a uniquely stupid left-wing problem. Then I looked overseas. Same people everywhere. They mock their own culture, defend everyone except their own citizens, and call it “progress.” Japan wasn’t alone. The whole world is dealing with them.

@itsdeaann Wait isn't this Obama's economy still? When did that stop? It was Obama's economy during Trump's first term right...? Right??? Right? So then which one is it now?

genuinely what are we supposed to do when half of the country is this incompetent, it’s hard to see a clear path forward.

Je veux présenter mes excuses, au nom des Français, pour avoir enfanté la French Theory (qui a enfanté la pire des merdes idéologiques : le wokisme). Nous avons donné au monde Descartes, Pascal, Tocqueville. Et puis, dans les ruines intellectuelles de l'après-68, nous avons donné Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze. Trois hommes brillants qui ont fabriqué, dans l'élégance de notre langue, l'arme idéologique qui paralyse aujourd'hui l'Occident. Il faut comprendre ce qu'ils ont fait. Foucault a enseigné que la vérité n'existe pas, qu'il n'y a que des rapports de pouvoir déguisés en savoir. Que la science, la raison, la justice, l'institution médicale, l'école, la prison, la sexualité, tout n'est qu'une mise en scène de la domination. Derrida a enseigné que les textes n'ont pas de sens stable, que tout signifiant glisse, que toute lecture est une trahison, que l'auteur est mort et que le lecteur règne. Deleuze a enseigné qu'il fallait préférer le rhizome à l'arbre, le nomade au sédentaire, le désir à la loi, le devenir à l'être, la différence à l'identité. Pris isolément, ce sont des thèses discutables. Combinées, exportées, vulgarisées, elles forment un système. Et ce système est un poison. Car voici ce qui s'est passé. Ces textes, illisibles en France, ont traversé l'Atlantique. Les départements de Yale, de Berkeley, de Columbia les ont absorbés dans les années 80. Ils y ont trouvé un terreau qui n'existait pas chez nous : le puritanisme américain, sa culpabilité raciale, son obsession identitaire. La French Theory s'est mariée à ce substrat, et l'enfant de ce mariage s'appelle le wokisme. Judith Butler lit Foucault et invente le genre performatif. Edward Said lit Foucault et invente le post-colonialisme académique. Kimberlé Crenshaw hérite du cadre et invente l'intersectionnalité. À chaque étape, la matrice est française : il n'y a pas de vérité, il n'y a que du pouvoir, donc toute hiérarchie est suspecte, toute institution est oppressive, toute norme est violence, toute identité est construite donc négociable, toute majorité est coupable. Voilà comment trois philosophes parisiens, qui n'ont probablement jamais imaginé leurs conséquences pratiques, ont fourni le logiciel d'exploitation à une génération entière d'activistes, de bureaucrates universitaires, de DRH, de journalistes, de législateurs. Voilà comment on a obtenu une civilisation qui ne sait plus dire si une femme est une femme, si sa propre histoire mérite d'être défendue, si le mérite existe, si la vérité se distingue de l'opinion. C'est de la merde pour une raison simple, et il faut la dire calmement. Une civilisation se tient debout sur trois piliers : la croyance qu'il existe une vérité accessible à la raison, la croyance qu'il existe un bien distinct du mal, la croyance qu'il existe un héritage à transmettre. La French Theory a entrepris de dynamiter les trois. Pas par méchanceté. Par jeu intellectuel, par fascination du soupçon, par haine de la bourgeoisie qui les avait nourris. Mais le résultat est là. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n'a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. Une génération entière voit le pouvoir partout et la beauté nulle part. Je m'excuse parce que nous, Français, avons une responsabilité particulière. C'est notre langue, nos universités, nos éditeurs, notre prestige qui ont donné à ce nihilisme son emballage chic. Sans la légitimité de la Sorbonne et de Vincennes, ces idées n'auraient jamais traversé l'océan. Nous avons exporté le doute comme d'autres exportent des armes. Ce qui se construit maintenant, en silicon valley, dans les labos d'IA, dans les startups, dans les ateliers, dans tous les lieux où des gens fabriquent encore des choses au lieu de les déconstruire, c'est la réponse. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commentateurs. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu'elle vaut qu'on s'y consacre. Par ceux qui assument une hiérarchie du beau, du vrai, du bon, et qui n'ont pas honte de la transmettre. Alors pardon. Et au travail.

@StefanMolyneux Blue whale I'd think

Without looking it up, what animal goes from smallest to largest from birth to adulthood? NO CHEATING! 😀

@ConceptualJames @dbongino @grok has this esteemed fellow ever criticized Israel? What percentage of his posts? I'm generally 'pro murder terrorist' but Oct 7 always seemed like a 'we let it happen' thing.

I am once again telling you, young conservatives, that if you turned against Israel in the last couple of years, you are the victim of an Islamo-Leftist psyop and the sociopathic grifting of influencers who don't care about you or anything but their grift. Useful idiots, all.

@Travelingchicky @windscribecom 'just' is shitting up your thinking. Take it out of the statement and consider it again - you probably won't stand behind it.

@windscribecom Good explanation, thanks. I suppose I just can't get past the fact if this helps protect people that's not a bad thing. Tech companies seem to think they should have zero guardrails. Need some type of happy medium

We won't be far behind if C-22 passes. In its current state, VPNs would almost certainly require us to log identifying user data. Signal isn't headquartered in Canada so they can just shut off Canadian servers, but our HQ is. We pay an ungodly amount of taxes to this corrupt government, and in return they want to destroy the entire essence of our service to basically spy on its own citizens. Not happening. We'll move HQ and take our taxes elsewhere.

Wall of text warning. I understand that on a surface level, the story they sell you is a good thing. Protecting kids, keeping them off websites they shouldn't be on, stopping predators - I don't think anyone is against all these things. But the fallacy here is that the implementation of all this monitoring means ANYONE could be implicated for ANYTHING the government deems a threat, now or later. It's akin to installing a camera and microphone in every room of your house that records everything 24/7 and is easily accessible by law enforcement at any time. Not just live feeds, but all the archives going back years as well. And on top of that there are intelligence agencies deploying AI tools to scan all the footage to detect any "problematic" behavior. Even if you're not breaking any laws, they are more than free to flag you for this stuff and start building a profile, false positives included. This is the system they are setting up on the internet. Let me give you an example: You want to log into Instagram but they require you to do an ID and face scan. So you do it. Now your friend is a bit of an edgy person and sends you a funny meme criticizing Israel. You find it silly, like the post. Instagram recognizes that and serves you some more edgy memes of this nature. Instagram's algorithm is constantly building a profile on you and flags that you like "Israel critic" content. Not illegal. Nothing to hide. Yet. Legislation is later passed that considers even memes of this nature to be racist and antisemitic, punishable by law with fines or worse. Law enforcement queries Meta for a list of all profiles deemed to fall into this category, Meta hands over your real name proven by your "age-verification check". Now you're on an intelligence agency watchlist. They have probable cause to monitor all your online activity and punish you for one misstep. Say the wrong thing, criticize or make fun of the wrong person, look at the wrong website - all fair game to them. Going back to the cameras in your home, it's like owning a firearm completely legally for years, the AI system flags this to the government. And then firearms are outlawed. You were already flagged so you are now monitored as someone who could pose a risk to the public because you followed all laws in the past. Stuff like this is already happening around the world. And don't kid yourself by thinking the government doesn't drool over the prospect of implementing the same kind of systems that Iran has where they imprison people for using the internet during a nation-wide shutdown. Governments want more control, all of them, for all of history.

@RubinReport @elonmusk @WallStreetApes @kylenabecker Fuck you anyways! Jk lol

@elonmusk @WallStreetApes @kylenabecker Just to be clear that’s not me!!!

Who specifically is the asshole who added DEI lies to Academy Awards eligibility instead of it just being about making the best movie?

@MKnowlesShow @MattWalshBlog @michaeljknowles I can't imagine the inner monologues of people that don't get this analogy. 110 IQ must be rough as fuck.

"To celebrate that alcohol use among teenagers has dropped so precipitously is sort of like celebrating that peanut allergies declined in Nagasaki in 1945." — @michaeljknowles, 2026

@GitaGopinath Is this a parody account?

A painting of the end of meritocracy: A meeting of the two largest economies and not one woman at the table.

@J_Von_Random @Slatzism @victor__matland @HantsPolice he did not have a loicense

@Slatzism @victor__matland @HantsPolice > trailing blood all over the place Ah, clearly he was guilty of improper disposal of biological waste. THROW THE BOOK AT HIM.

“police arrest man who is bleeding to death because the stabber claimed he was racist” its literally impossible to satirize the UK anymore. even the most extreme, hamfisted memes are just real things that actually happen now

@GadSaad Further; Canada is not designed to succeed, and will not overcome that failure of sight.

Both Jordan and I love Canada but there comes a point where the abject antipathy that you experience from Canadian society forces you to look elsewhere to a place where you might be appreciated and allowed to flourish.

Correct.

Perhaps you shouldn’t have propped them up when given the chance to call an election…

@Asmongold @GreenTextRepost I just play open front and mordhau and I am ok with this

@GreenTextRepost A couple of years ago I started to experience what I would call "live service fatigue" and shifted to almost exclusively playing single player games Sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill was supposed to be divine punishment, not something you bought a battlepass for

My beautiful baby girl, look how far you’ve come. So many milestones in such a short time. They warned us it would be two steps forward and one step back, but look at you now shining brighter than ever. Your sweet face is full of color again, and that sparkle in your eyes says it all. It’s been 24 hours since your EVD was removed and 72 hours since they clamped it. We’re trending in the right direction after your cranioplasty. The incisions are healing beautifully. Even the neurosurgeons commented this morning on how wonderful you look and how impressed they are with your progress. At this rate, we should be heading back to the rehab facility this afternoon. And starting tomorrow, my Maya Bear can finally have her showers again ❤️ I believe in you with all my heart. Your strength is unmatched, and you continue to amaze me every single day. You’re already doing incredible things, and I know even greater ones are ahead. I love you so much, my beautiful girl. Forever proud of you, ❤️

There is, and based on watching these threads, you won't address it. Like I'm not even on the Jew hate train but the response is "Yeah, the Zionists want every planet on earth to have open borders but Israel, as is evidenced through the lobbying of Zionist groups and words of Zionist individuals.' Like c'mon, I'd know that one even if I was a good guy Jew. You don't have to be intentionally obtuse.

Is there a way to blame this on Zionism?

The dumbest narratives: “The mere suggestion that COVID may well have come from a laboratory is a racist and paranoid conspiracy theory.” “Immigration is the rarest thing in economics: essentially a ‘free lunch’ with no downsides. Unless you are a xenophobe.” “Quantum Gravity has been the Holy Grail of theoretical physics since the birth of relativity and the quantum.” “Vaccines are safe. Full stop. Unless you are a paranoid anti-vaxxer.” “Americans can’t do science and aren’t interested in it because they are lazy. Thankfully Asia sends us their best and their brightest.” “String Theory is the only Game in town and has been for more than 40 years.” “You are imagining rates of inflation far higher than CPI. You just don’t seem to understand translog aggregator functions and superlative index theory.” “Peer Review has always been, and continues to be, fundamental to science and dates to the very founding of the Royal Society hundreds of years ago. Only the weak say otherwise.” All derive from policy types. None of the above are true. None are scientific. They are provably false.

@ZKForTre @MikhailaFuller 'lean, insulin-sensitive, low-carb/carnivore eaters with sky-high LDL but excellent TG/HDL ratios and zero plaque on advanced imaging.' This is the part I'd like you to specifically address. From my layman's perspective, the zero plaque/low CAC scores seem like a big deal.

Thanks for the polite reply and for laying out the evidence (Silverman 2016 JAMA meta + VESALIUS-CV + Ference 2012 MR). Appreciate the direct challenge — this is how science should work. We’re not saying LDL-C has zero role or that every trial is garbage. Those studies show LDL-lowering (via statins or PCSK9i) can reduce events in many standard-diet, higher-risk populations. Fair point. But context matters hugely, and that’s where the data diverges: The 49-trial meta (and VESALIUS-CV) mostly tested people on higher-carb diets with metabolic issues. They don’t address the lean-mass hyper-responder (LMHR) phenotype Nick Norwitz’s case highlighted — lean, insulin-sensitive, low-carb/carnivore eaters with sky-high LDL but excellent TG/HDL ratios and zero plaque on advanced imaging. Dr. Paul Mason (co-author with Diamond & Bikman) reviewed this exact scenario: “Statin therapy is not warranted for a person with high LDL-cholesterol on a low-carbohydrate diet” (Curr Opin Endocrinol Diabetes Obes 2022; updated Front Nutr 2024). When metabolic health is optimized (low TG/HDL), lowering LDL further shows no clear benefit in primary or secondary prevention. Link: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35938780/PCSK9 inhibitors (like evolocumab in VESALIUS) also carry documented risks of immune suppression and higher infection rates — something Dr. Mason has flagged in post-marketing data. Ference 2012 MR shows lifelong genetically lower LDL correlates with lower CHD. Strong signal, but it assumes no pleiotropy and doesn’t stratify by insulin sensitivity or diet. Dr. Robert Lustig’s position (shared in multiple papers/reviews with Demasi & Malhotra) is that the real driver isn’t LDL concentration in isolation — it’s hyperinsulinemia/insulin resistance creating the atherogenic environment in the first place. Fix the root (processed food, fructose, metabolic dysfunction) and LDL numbers become far less predictive. The cholesterol hypothesis isn’t “dead” for everyone, but it’s oversimplified when applied one-size-fits-all. For metabolically healthy low-carbers, the risk-benefit of chasing LDL numbers changes dramatically.Happy to share the full Mason/Diamond/Bikman review, Lustig’s insulin-resistance papers, or the latest LMHR imaging data if you’re interested. Science moves forward when we consider all the data, not just one side. Regards, basement nerd with a college diploma in eSports Business Management.
