My guy has textbook joint hypermobility at the knees and instead of treating that they're letting him walk around and stand like a chicken or some manner of ostrich.

The skeleton key of current American politics is that a majority of voters didn't *particularly* dislike Trump's first term. They really hated his stupid antics, but the economy was good and more importantly, its vibes were good. That's the status quo they thought they were bringing back in 2024.

The fundamental problem here is that labels like "Far Right" tend to lose their meaning when someone like say, Giorgia Meloni, does not govern in a way that is significantly to the right of Emmanuel Macron. This is an indictment of the sorry state of European politics more than anything else.

More people need to get familiar with Chinese history to understand the upper limits of insanity human societies can reach. Like the bloodiest conflict after WW1&2 is a Chinese civil war caused by a failed bureaucrat who became convinced he was Jesus' half-brother. Result: 20-100 million deaths.

This is something I always keep in mind when I see criticism of direct democracy on this site, because it's a system that works perfectly fine in countries with politics that are less dysfunctional than the US.

I would personally say "anything Fate that isn't just stay night". It has the benefit of both relying heavily on well-established anime trop tropes AND having its own insanely extensive lore that is phenomenally obtuse and hard to get into, ensuring maximum confusion.

A useful reminder that Bluesky is only a terrible site because all social media sites are inherently terrible, but X: The Everything App is literally just pure evil, and staying on there is just asking for something terrible to eventually happen to you.

More broadly, this is a problem with center and center-left politicians just in general in most Western countries. They desperately want to the standard-bearers for small business owners and the white "working class", and absolutely loathe the fact they're stuck representing the mass intelligentsia

It really seems like the common factor shared by the people most at risk of catching the reactionary brainrot virus is simply growing up in the 80s, either as a child or a teenager. So it might just, once again, be his fault, like everything else wrong with the world today.

Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him

I do think there is much to be criticized about the DSA. However, much of that criticism rings somewhat hollow when the same or even far worse could be said to the current Democratic Party. Attacks on the DSA's FP platform in particular are quite ridiculous if you don't reckon first with that fact.

Ironically it seems like Americans are just as blasé about American deaths than they are about Iranian ones. There have been almost 20 dead US servicemember since the beginning of this war and the reaction of the American public so far seems to be a tired shrug.

Rabbi Yirmeya raises a dilemma: If one leg of the chick was within fifty cubits of the dovecote, and one leg was beyond fifty cubits, what is the halakha? The Gemara comments: And it was for his question about this far-fetched scenario that they removed Rabbi Yirmeya from the study hall, as he was apparently wasting the Sages’ time.
