Say hello to my little friend (life in prison for the fash)
Remember this one?
When centrists adopt far-right rhetoric, they don’t make themselves stronger. They make themselves look inauthentic, legitimise the far right, and shift the political debate onto terrain defined by their opponents. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...
Beware that, when banging Aella, you yourself do not become Aella... for when you gaze long into the birthday gangbang. The birthday gangbang gazes also into you.
Do you know what's the basis for the vote of the remaining 14% ? Seems clear and cut. Israeli power brokers have been talking about wiping Palestinians for months, and then did everything in their power to do so without fully dropping the pretense that it was about Hamas
8 months ago, I started a recension of internationally recognized experts on genocide who had concluded that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitue a genocide, with their arguments. On August 31st, the International Association of Genocide Scholars passed a resolution coming to the same conclusion.
What do you mean, "goes on to do more selfish things" ? I don't recall much she did wrong, outside the context set in the first few episodes
Just wish he embraced dirty dancing instead
I can't recall him engaging with the concept of any woman wanting things, in fact
I can't recall a single instance of Hank talking about what Skyler, Marie, or any woman for that matter wants
And Walt reacting with meek resentment. And it being sexually charged somehow
Agreed, unless they add like 20 minutes of Skyler being neglectful and generally unbearable
I don't think he thinks that far honestly! From my read, he just sees Walt as a weaker man that he has to coach / bully into manning up cuz that's what you do
The auction birthday handjob is such a direct, powerful way to show that relationship was dead 15 years ago
Hank is very clearly presented as well-intentioned, and also as having his head too far up his ass to understand that trying to aggressively domineer everything he sees won't work beyond his bullying of petty dealers and prostitutes
Skyler is Marie's sister though, and I don't think he's attentive enough to her to know what she wants of Walter. It's more about himself and his precious masculine / jock identity
Also he absolutely does not break his leg, from memory the worse a stomp like that could do is a contusion
(It's quite subtle but I think the show is trying to tell us Walt is not the good guy actually)
*the Republican party 20 years from now* "GOD IN ALL HIS GLORY INVENTED TRANS PEOPLE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THAT TECHNICAL INDUSTRY SHIT FOR US"
I don't think Hank has the capacity to support two families, so imo it's more about Hank insulting Walt's self-perception as a provider for his family. Which is especially ironic, as the first thing Hank ever does in good faith to help and support him is the one Walt takes the most offense to
It's after his diagnosis, which is very unambiguously presented as the beginning of his transformation from Mr. Chips to Scarface
This I can absolutely see in his relation with Skyler and Hank. They know he's gonna stfu anyway, so they go out of their way to walk over him and undermine his self-confidence - and Hank doesn't even try to hide it.
Okay, I do think the incel vibes may come through once in a while and that wouldn't help with his career. Still, in itself it does very few to explain why he works this far below his skill level !
Even so, being the most unsubtle raging narcissist on earth would not in itself predict him dropping out of research/ industry entirely. Academia is full of narcissists, it's quite of a requirement arguably !
The only people we know he has worked with prior to his high school job, Eliott and Gretchen, seem to hold him in very high regard. And none of their interactions seem to indicate prior beef, or even that the Schwartz are remotely aware of his resentment.
Um, it's clear that Heisenberg is an expression of his preexisting narcissism, but also we have no indication whatsoever he's ever snapped at anyone for any reason before the events of the series.

I was recently told that reiki summons evil spirits, maybe it's a good place to start to study the emergence of lyfe ?
In a dramatic turn of event, "78% of the statistics you find online are made up" also applies to Google Scholar
There are many zombie statistics in metascience but for the first time I read a general claim that *73%* of social science findings cannot be replicated. Why are folks still so attached to the "replication crisis" narrative that they'll just confidently make up numbers to support it?
I do not know what fake cheese is but it sounds terrifying
"why didn't you do the dishes ? You know I never do them"
Why does not one consider seriously my proposal to eat off men's heads after sex ?? This would solve so many problems
Jesus. That's not how armor works. Not hot
Jesus this game was great
Would be a shame if someone made an open access archive of all scientific articles ever
obsidian has changed my life in far-reaching ways and i only use a tiny percentage of its features
Next thing is Trump taped riding a tricycle in the White House and attempting to bite journalists while howlering like a monkey. You got it from here
Why not at this point
Jesus, who needs this fact check ? Everyone knows it's Jawani Dodwiskius
I'm betting on dementia taking its due
Results so stunningly clear they inspired this classic xkcd (xkcd.com/2400/):
Fwiw I think absurdly restrictive inside jokes directed at no one in particular is an art form in itself, and I applaud your genius
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.
Thanks 🙏
Post got deleted, what was it about ?
Honestly, I think a lot of politicians on both sides of the Atlantic got psyoped into viewing salt of the earth bigots as more authentic and worthy than them and thinking therefore they must ritually cleanse their sin of education by rolling in the gutter.
I posit you'll renege
I'm more worried about the child, what's up with that face ? Is he about to eat us in a futile attempt to dull his insatiable hunger ?
...and we must strike back
I saw the greatest minds of several generations destroyed by Immanuel Kant
In case anyone ever contests this statement: I, a philosopher, hate x for all x. Cheers !
Chidi is a recognizable and very maddening archetype of philosopher. Chidi is literally shown the universe's actual system of evaluating rightness and wrongness, and it doesn't change his approach to ethics at all: he just rereads Kant and continues to agonize about lying.
i wish brands would include more technical information in their product descriptions. i don't need to know this was inspired by timeless italian men summering in nantucket who could dress up or down. i want to know the fabric weight, leather tanning method, seam construction, etc.
Well, the feudal serfdom part seems alive and well today 😅
Good paper, anything by Turning rocks ftr
Wait, is it PTSD when you react with no visible distress to terrifying situations but also spend half of your days staring into the void while reliving events that happened years ago ? Impossible. I'm not crazy, you're crazy !
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia episode where they build a house like that as a theme park, then kidnap people and chase them around the house to get the ball rolling
Ah, thanks, I didn't expect to see that term there !
What is "MAD dynamics" ? Looked it up, and somehow I suspect you don't mean Methodical Accelerator Design
Part of why "professional law enforcement bodies" are a pretty recent invention is that, historically, most people were locked into various forms of private supervision or control via family institutions, feudal nobility, slavery, or patron-client relationships that filled most of that role.
If I had to boil it down to three reco : Antichrist by von Trier Hereditary by Aster You were never really here by Ramsay
Maybe not horror per se, but Winding Refn is excellent at building a gut-wrenching atmosphere of anxiety and violence / abuse. So is Friedkin, and so is von Trier In the same line, would strongly recommend You Were Never Really Here by Ramsay - which reminds me I should look up the rest of her work
Depends on how traumatized you wanna get ! Hereditary by Aster is the best IMO (and by the best I mean the worst) Everything by Wan is worth a look. Ducourneau may be the GOAT overall - lots of body horror and general depravity though
I blame the autocorrect for any and all typos in those posts, as well as the failure of my last relationship
Also all those black americans who got inoculated with syphilis ummmm well you see they really liked syphilis
Be nice to LLMs ? Sorry, I kan't
In this household we believed Fred Hampton dies accidentally from repeatedly falling on a bullet
Oooooooh
Merci pour la précision, mais j'ai déjà décidé de penser que c'est le nom d'une drogue expérimentale👍
Soon in your timelines : "All of you low trust idiots who think POTUS is lying are the problem with this country"
Yeah, that's where this "low trust / high trust" bullshit is taking you guys
Option 2 : je ne sais pas ce qu'est une TEC et j'ai vu ce motif mille fois
Trump plan to redevelop Gaza into a series of luxury resorts is slated to contain up to six “AI powered smart cities”, according to the “prospectus” reviewed by the Post. The plan assumes the “voluntary” departure of all now living in Gaza. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
Is 8/10... not good ?
Thanks ! I'd started watching it and forgotten the name
Strong agree, generally the habit of framing sex as "something you get from someone" rather than "an activity you do with someone" is uh very bad actually
seconding every word of this. we have gone backwards. and us in the various queer scenes need to remember we are *not* immune to this shit either. lastoneout.tumblr.com/post/7911909...
the monsters bit is mistranslation, but…
It should really be “high expertise” versus “high revelation”. The former group prizes knowledge gained from reliable, certified, and rational sources I.e experts. The second group prefers rational revelation the act of, personally learning something. The source really doesn’t matter.
And both anticipating the situation correctly and acting adequately require taking into account the idiosyncratic weirdness of the USA in general and Trump's movement in particular.
Thinking of the situation as set out from the beginning to follow such or such course of action, eg by presenting Trump as an incarnation of the immortal spirit of fascism whose doing was set out in the beginning of times, very much gets in the way of this process.
What will happen instead is most certainly the messy and grinding process of organising opposition, and fighting with MAGA and it's successors over and endless series of strategic goals, for the years or decades to come.
And comparing today's situation to WWII serves no purpose besides building the powerless hope of some Great War that would wipe all the evil away.
Building the mental habit to compare Trump's rise to power to Hitler's or Mussolini's serves no purpose beside creating an excuse to capitulate in advance to further consolidation by claiming it's inevitability.
There were maybe 20.000 formations we could reasonably call "fascist" ; all have their weird idiosyncrasies, strengths, weaknesses, and ongoing beef with each other. Even the bona fide Fascist regime ended in a war between not two, but three distinct far-right coalitions.
Probably gonna be yelled but: this is why I'm uncomfortable with grandstanding over interchangeably calling every far-right formation "fascist" and comparing everything to Weimar.
like, when we are talking about Hungary, i can name like fifteen advantages orban has over trump off the top of my head
...and oppose that "working class" ethos to this of urban elites (who do primarily signal their identity in terms of class), and whatever irks them about it: higher education, immigration positivity, "woke", etc
...or the rural elites, for that matter. I think this is either because rural elites conceive / present their own identity in terms of place and discrete relations in rural spaces ; rather than trying to build distance from the proles. Hence they can successfully sell themselves as "working class"
Hard disagree. Evolutionary methodology is the basis of everything good and fair - including anthropology - but Evo Psy is custom built to entirely ignore it at the benefit of ranting senselessly about "fucking after 3AM brain modules" or whatever
Drôle de manière d'écrire PNJ
Non-ironically, "can I kick in that" is the first question I ask when trying on new pants
signed a deal while eating chili out of a coffee pot i even gave my life to christ in a cracker barrel parking lot
Touché
Next* godammit, what does this autocorrect have today
Trendable* godammit
Much less tradable than "n'est AI God will take over humanity 🙀🙀🙀" ennit
China plans to ADD 358 gigawatts of solar this year. In the first half of year it installed 212 GW, while the US installed 12 GW (that's not a typo). US solar cumulatively is now at 251 GW while China is at 800 GW, which is more than half of US electricity generation capacity from ALL sources.
