@KirscheVerstahl O glorious the luminescence, of the only moral answer to this problem. (It means the only solution is glowy)

every time I file taxes and see my total paid, I wonder how have we become so complacent from waging war against England, the dominator of the entire globe, over taxes and freedom to seeing the insane bullshit our taxes are used for now, AND THE FRAUD, and doing nothing about it

@Jringo1508 @jk_rowling @monsterhunter45 It helps if you habitually pronounce it 'horse doovers' in every day life

Things that aspiring writers crow about: I finally finished the book! Things that professional writers crow about: I SUCCESSFULY SPELLED HORS D'OUEVRES! WITNESS MEEEEE! @jk_rowling @monsterhunter45

@SandyofCthulhu The race ain't over, not until all the stars are taken, all the wonders seen. The commies had a good first sprint, but they keeled over dead, and we're still jogging along. Got a good second wind thanks to Elon, too.

"I was ahead the whole race until the end."

@LibertarianG0th A highly selective group will tend toward high quality people. High quality people tend toward high social status. High social status attracts low quality people, who will attempt to infiltrate the group to gain clout. Low quality infiltrators will eventually ruin the group.

wtf is this gooner bait bullshit?! Goth used to be about embracing the beauty in darkness, tragic romance, music that gave you real feels with a dark edge, and a philosophical appreciation of the beauty of death. Now it’s all gooner bait.

@BlackDumpling Local cultural shibboleths say I'm a Texan before an American, sadly.

My fellow Americans?

@Femboy_Faggot_ @shitpost_2049 I was more pokin (heh) fun at your name, man.

@drageuth @shitpost_2049 Since when is a detective ever going to try to randomly check my ass? Yes I’m going to have internal bleeding. But the last place a detective is going to want to not ask to check is someone’s ass.

@Femboy_Faggot_ @shitpost_2049 Because you're sure he won't find it there, or because you're going to have a lot of fun convincing him to search it for 7 days?

@shitpost_2049 In my ass.

@BlackDumpling I've heard of the death vans before, and I was wondering why they'd need a whole van to do a rope's job... Should have seen the organ extraction angle.

This is a Chinese Execution Van. "Makers of death vans,” USA Today reports, “say they save money for poor localities that would otherwise have to pay to construct execution facilities in prisons or court buildings. The vans ensure that prisoners sentenced to death can be executed locally, closer to communities where they broke the law.” It’s capital punishment without ever having to set foot in the capital. Bazzing. Think of it like uber but for this mortal coil. And importantly it's how China deals with their surprisingly useful bottom quintile. Useful how? Well the capitalist politics of the executed might be degenerate but their kidneys work just fine. A statement that's a lot harder to make post firing squad. So you send these execution vans that may or may not also function as a handy pipeline to organ extraction. See, there's an awful lot of pesky allegations about China harvesting organs from the executed... like an AWFUL LOT of allegations. Nothing confirmed but there is an AWFUL LOT OF.. well, you get the point. But even more pressing is how efficient it all is. Any brick and mortar facility would could face scrutiny, or protests, or have any other number of drawbacks. But logistically the sentence could be handed out and your doordash to God could be there within a few hours. And sure you're thinking wow,that's horrible, what will they think if next? But um... that quote? The one at the very top? That's all cited from a report that dropped in 2006. They've been at this for twenty plus years. Ya, betcha didn't have Chinese Death Vans for your bit of light Twitter X reading but here we are.

@BlackDumpling The gibbets are for the politicians that shielded and imported the migrant swarm. The migrants themselves, I mostly want simply gone. Gibbets would get them false sympathy from the traitors amongst us.

You'll know that justice has come when the streets are lined with gibbets.

@uubzu @_squf @harrumph150697 ... I have just realized that I in fact may have failed the literacy test legitimately, since it was @harrumph150697 who was arguing for c. Though squf could be argued to be supporting it by context :P

@uubzu @_squf @harrumph150697 Then 'three nested circles' would probably be the best, since I agree with squf that the instructions as written point to c. Either that, or have any of these options acceptable as an answer.

I’m not being facetious when I say that I doubt more than half of the American electorate could pass this literacy test, not if you have to get it perfect What do you think

@uubzu And for the record... With apologies for the shitty ms-paint mouse skills. Only one I'm unsure of is 4, since some people get all snitty about "a" being a particle rather than a word, and it kind of seems to be a definitional thing that seems to depend on the linguist you ask.

@uubzu Sadly possibly true, since our education has been so badly degraded by bad actors. Still doesn't stop it being necessary. If half the nation is too illiterate to vote, then half the nation should not vote.

@spiridigliozzi @SamaHoole They are often worse

@SamaHoole Are activists actually this presumptuous? Yeah, I know, dumb question.

Activist: "Those sheep look absolutely miserable." Farmer: "They're lying in the sun chewing cud." Activist: "Look at their faces." Farmer: "That's what a sheep's face looks like." Activist: "They seem depressed." Farmer: "They're ruminants. They don't have a range of visible facial expressions." Activist: "Still. They look sad." Farmer: "You're projecting human emotional cues onto an animal that doesn't have them." Activist: "I know what a miserable animal looks like." Farmer: "A miserable sheep stops eating, isolates, and shows physical signs of distress. Those sheep are eating, bunched together, and completely calm." Activist: "They're fenced in." Farmer: "They have forty acres. They're choosing to be in that corner because the grass is longer." Activist: "I still think they look sad." Farmer: "I've been watching sheep for thirty years. Sad looks very different to this." Activist: "What does sad look like." Farmer: "Not this. This is a Tuesday afternoon in March."

@MentisWave It's freedom of association/physical removal. A person who lacks the mental capacity to peacefully exist in society, must be removed from society. Whatever mechanism you'd use for communists would also be fine for psychos and sufficiently advanced retards.

One of my hottest takes on libright theory is that if someone is ruled too insane to understand that murder is wrong, they forfeit their rights for the same reason the NAP doesn't apply to animals.

@DesireeAmerica4 Legally, he is probably at fault in most places. Morally, he has done nothing wrong.

One of those “this can’t be real” moments. Some guy perched himself smack on the hood of a car, refusing to budge, trapping the poor driver at an intersection. Before anyone even had time to dial the police, some random SUV driver had *had enough.* This guy storms out, grabs the hood-sitter, and hurls him onto the pavement like a wrestler clearing the ring. So, here’s the question: if someone’s acting like a traffic troll, do bystanders get a pass for going full vigilante to solve the problem, or did that guy just leap wayyyy over the line?

@BlackDumpling Fairly well explains the hot honey crazy that seems to have flared and gone in the last little bit of time. Whether or not pinapple is ambrosia or poison seems to depend on whether one is more sensitive to taste or texture. I'm a texture eater, and loathe the fruit of paradise.

Nobody likes Pineapple on Pizza. They like sweetness. If you think you like Pineapple on Pizza dip your pizza in Cinnabon Icing (or drizzle it on) and finally feel, finally understand, what it means to be alive.

@cointards @pureMetatron Note the phrasing. You no longer *have* to sleep. It says nothing about no longer being able to, if you wish to do so for the joy of it.

@pureMetatron sleep is bliss, imagine not participating for 6-10 hours. and all the crazy or beautifull dreams. but brown is superb, i would organize a crime cat syndicate, would pay them in catnip to bring me dollars or euros.

Black and Brown, then I would get pink and give it to Asmongold for my personal amusement. Yellow too risky, would I also lose my head hair? Blue if this was offered to me before being married, now I don't care. Purple, I already have that by birth right. Rest is nonsense. What about you?

@pureMetatron Black is effectively a lifespan increase, since it gives you 1/3rd of your life where you're no longer unconscious. Brown is fun and has shenanigans potential. Blue... If I am sufficiently horny, I can spin that into widespread celebrity or political power.

@BlackDumpling The failure point seems to be when the third generation no longer experiences the difficulties that gave the first two strength. So we need to find a way to safely emulate those difficulties. Some sort of coming-of-age ritual to overcome? Sports? VR survivalist deep dives?

So how do we break the cycle?
