    Will the stigma of therapy and medication ever go away?

    We live in a time where trying to improve yourself in a mundane and normally respectable fashion (for example, starting your own business to have true independence) can have someone try to ruin you. All it takes is an encounter with one jackass and you’re done. Now try to get mental help with...

    Why did polytheism fail?

    For my two cents I am going to say that the monotheistic religions managed to get ahold of the right figures of power at the right time. When you have the force of government (and the military) backing your god, you’re gonna win. With polytheism, when the king backs Zeus, the Temple of Poseidon...

    The Endless Frontier Act

    Unemployment would hit hard at the end of it all unless you learn some sort of maintenance skill, become a supervisor/manager, create something unique, or adapt in some other way. That being said, if we‘re able to compete with other countries for production contracts, the new automated...

    The Endless Frontier Act

    The US should lean hard into automation. All the way to the point where the only automation that is used in the America is produced in America. You’re going to need human workers until the machines for every possible type of repetitive labor are finished, even then you’re going to need human...

    US Instances of Voter Fraud (Megathread?)

    I’m not shifting the goal posts. I was posting clarification of what I heard. I didn’t recall the info, so I found where I heard it and posted it so people could see what I meant. Calling him out for stalling is just a statement of fact.

    US Instances of Voter Fraud (Megathread?)

    Ah, here it is, he said that they didn’t perform any signature audits. He literally stalled out the clock on that one. On a mobile device so I can’t archive it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24mEEAhuoaQ

    US Instances of Voter Fraud (Megathread?)

    Correct me if I am wrong, but didn’t the Governor of Georgia openly admit that State law wasn’t followed when it came to certifying the votes for Biden? As in he admitted that the standard procedure for close races wasn’t followed to completion. I do not recall where I heard that but of info, so...

    Why didn't Africans ever establish any society on par with the ones in Eurasia?

    It is possible, but you need both the infrastructure to keep them fed, the ability to pull animals away from the pack, and keep them with you until you can domesticate them and the ability to defend your new collection of tasty treats from predators. Europeans in those photos had guns...

    The Trial of Derek Chauvin

    IIRC black women are getting pissed about the fact that more and more black men are marrying other ethnicities. The men are literally looking around themselves, seeing their marriage options, saying “fuck this shit” and leaving. This might be less pushing an agenda and more trying to get on a...

    Why didn't Africans ever establish any society on par with the ones in Eurasia?

    Water Buffalo are deadly as hell. Domesticating them is out of the question. Heck the sheer number of fauna in the area that has a pre-set “this is how you ruin a human’s life” method packed into their instincts is enough on its own to make settling a chore. Other than that they didn’t get...

    Do you think bullying is a necessary evil?

    I said “cross the line”. I didn’t say anything about words being tossed around, though I will admit that the phrase “them’s fightin‘ words” exists for a reason. I do have a question though: what did you do when you eventually lost a round of insults and kept losing, as opposed to someone trying...

    Do you think bullying is a necessary evil?

    I will say that bullying can’t be tolerated if retaliation is not allowed. If the one being bullied has to “put up with it”, then you have a broken system. The bully needs to learn that people will draw the line and when you cross it you will get punched in the face. Since schools actually see...

    The Lincoln Project Founder John Weaver Sexually Harasses and Grooms Numerous Young Boys

    If you have power, you can make sycophantic shitheads turn a blind eye to anything so long as they get a slice of that power. It isn’t “better access to their victims”, it is “better screening from law enforcement“. These things can’t function in a vacuum without someone shooting them and...

    Insurrection 2021

    How many court cases are still floating around about this election? I mean it is over and all, I just don't want things unresolved. I doubt the Federal courts just tossed everything out, that would be really unprofessional, I also doubt that people are going to let this one go.

    2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    Yeah, it is true that SCOTUS doesn’t want to crown anyone. Which means that if it turns into a contingent election or if the Senate goes with the alternative slate the Republicans have sent in, things are gonna get real interesting, real fast.

    2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    Isn‘t the point of sending your own slate of electors to provide SCOTUS with a remedy if they actually decide to not dismiss the case? Before it was “We don’t have a remedy, sorry.”, now it is “We brought you a remedy, let these electors count.” Not gonna hold my breath, but now there is no...

    You can see the look of pure defeat on their faces. They know they were instrumental in Biden winning, yet all they can see is disappointment.

    2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    If there is such rampant fraud, then Biden taking office actually disenfranchises voters. I don’t see how it is “disenfranchisement“ when you overturn a clear effort to cheat. If your side wins via cheating, you’re disenfranchising everyone that voted, including yourself. Losing normally means...

    2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    At the very least I expect an incident to occur that leads to Biden pledging to go for even more 2nd Amendment restrictions. Edit: Tensions between groups are high enough as is and we know someone is going to do something exceptional.

    2020 U.S. Presidential Election

    You never know, I mean the script writers for 2020 have been known to toss a curveball when things seem certain. If nothing else, wait till the post-season epilogue in January.
