@ProblematicGru @AnechoicMedia_ How, exactly, was the land free? How, exactly, did they exploit it?
Flesh it out for us.

@AnechoicMedia_ To rephrase your point more cynically, they exploited what was already there for free (land) rather than through creating something or labor like immigrants who come to a capitalist country

The colonists didn't "immigrate to" America; They settled and founded it, which makes all the difference.

They did, it was called America

@AlBoogie_Sports @DKThomp When Ajay Mitchell and the backup Jaylin Williams are egregiously foul baiting while Lu Dort breaks kneecaps, we're way past the superstar whistle.

My feed is drenched in whining about how much the modern NBA sucks. Seems even more whiny than normal.
Do other sports have such a vibrant cottage industry of anti-fan posters who are so determined to hate on the sport?

@EtTuAnyhoo @curious_th8099 @visegrad24 He said it's a social issue with no legitimate second perspective. Sounds like you agree.

@curious_th8099 @visegrad24 “Child rape is one”??? What is wrong with you? The Irish literally starved during the famine and did not sell their daughters.

The BBC portrays an indebted Afghan father selling his 7-year-old twin daughters into sexual slavery with adult men as a man who is forced to make difficult choices

@surgical702 @WembyCentral So did a lot of guys. But this is a whole team, not exaggerating contact once in a while, but absolute fakery on every other possession.

@tryhard_cj @WembyCentral Reggie used to foul bait too if we’re being honest.

@MarcoFoster_ If New York doesn't need billionaires, then there is no reason for New York to tax billionaires.

@ColtsKatana @AlastairGrayson @MatrixMysteries College grads are the ones choosing the monthly payments.
English
English
An American checks her student loans.
She borrowed $49,548.74.
After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36.
Her current balance? $50,121.33.
After PAYING $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed.
This isn’t aid — it’s legalized USURY.
English
@ColtsKatana @AlastairGrayson @MatrixMysteries Nobody made her pay less than the interest every month. That was a choice. A choice a college grad should be educated enough to not make.
English
@AlastairGrayson @MatrixMysteries Hey, so doing this to student borrowers should actually be illegal. Hope that helps.

@MatrixMysteries $213 a month payments.
The same $50,000 loan on a car would run you about $800 a month over 72 months.
Math is simple. Getting a degree doesn’t automatically give you common sense.

it's not well known so one understands how he missed it but there was an early american president called George Washington who is portrayed exclusively by Black men in the somewhat underground musical Hamilton
Carl@HistoryBoomer
Yes, I get it, there has been something of a double standard with casting. But people keep showing Gosling as President Obama. That is a very pointed jab, but I know of no films with black actors as white presidents. For the jab to work, shouldn't there be a black Reagan? In other words, while there may be issues, the genre of films that this image is spoofing (major biopics of modern figures) have not been cast color-blind. This is why we haven't seen Denzel play Nixon (and he would be awesome).

a lot of people have convinced themselves that this body type means strong but chill about it, but that man is in the gym six days a week and is obsessive about hitting his macros, he's in unbelievable shape
taoki@justalexoki
this goes around a lot but what is it actually that makes women like this body type so much? why this specifically?

@jennifersrude Conservatives don't talk about how much they love nature.
They just hunt and fish and swim in rivers. Rednecks are the true naturists.
English
has a single person in the history of humankind ever once associated the love of nature with the right? Is that something that has ever happened literally once at all?

Fishing
Farming
Owning acreage
4-wheeling/trail riding
But I'll concede, taking selfies while hiking to prove to everyone how much you love nature is certainly more lefty

I hate hysterical commentary like this. Humanity will be fine. Civilization, however, is fucked.

I feel sad for the people who will miss out on having children because of anti-family propaganda pushed by the left. Humanity will collapse without increasing birth rates.

@UrbanCourtyard @hypocane So by large home with private yards in a middle income neighborhood, you mean a 1500sf, 3 bed condo with a shared garden for $2m?
You are not a serious person.
English
@hypocane @tryhard_cj private means not open to public
English
The fact that anyone considers this to be walkable, amenity-rich, green neighborhood is exactly why cities like Dallas are depopulating.
Show me the large homes here with access to private yards and public amenities.
CJ the Tryhard@tryhard_cj
@UrbanCourtyard @ArtemisConsort That bit of Dallas is a block away from an incredibly "walkable, amenity-rich, green neighboorhood". Parks, shopping, residential, mixed-use buildings, museums... Dallas has issues, but it's not a lack of these areas.

Hmm...only one of those is a "business center". The other two are several miles from the city center. One is a residential neighborhood. The pic you posted of Dallas is in the middle of the business/industrial district. This is what neighborhoods look like less than 3 miles away.
This is closer than Queens, or Brooklyn, or Lincoln Square. You say Dallas needs these dense neighborhoods to compete with suburbs. It has some of that. But there are also suburban style neighborhoods 2 miles away. Big houses with big yards, parks, streets a kid can ride a bike on.
What Dallas can't offer is decent schools. Fin.

Progressive urbanists are tragicomic because they’re eternally bumping into problems they are ideologically barred from understanding. “Why won’t people ride the trains? Why do they choose suburbs? It’s a mystery, let’s commission a study.”
