I’ll give you another example without even going to another country. There are professions here in the states where people work with persons with developmental disabilities, and some of those persons (the vast minority, mind) can be extremely dangerous with poor impulse control. Same for professions that deal with…

This. These aren’t books that get read (I made this comment in a recent article); these are books that get bought up by republican organizations and sit in a fucking warehouse somewhere or get handed out at various events to the faithful (who also don’t typically read).

So good...

Oh, we’re absolutely still fucking them over. It’s horrifying. 

Of course. They’re pretty much allergic to any history that involves the truth of what the colonizers (not just the US, but England, Spain, and to a lesser extent France) did to the aboriginal peoples of this land. They would scrub it all from textbooks if they could.

he won’t

America’s “unique cultures” were largely destroyed during colonization and “manifest destiny”.

Thanks for posting this. More people need to know about this “Anglo-Saxon” group, which even some republicans find repugnant (surprisingly enough).

The [actual] left in this country isn’t surprised. We’re just pointing out all this shit while libs get angry at us for pointing it out at all.

Couldn’t she just block him? I’m confused...

You don’t need to compute a wave-function (although I admire your dedication to completeness) - a simple statistical analysis will do. Hell, even a correlation-regression - which uses minimal computation resources - will give you the answer with several degrees of freedom and type-1 error probabilities in the p<0.001…

Have some “validation” in the form of a star! But yeah, you’re spot on with your breakdown, here.

I left facebook (just stopped visiting, haven’t closed my account yet) for similar reasons. The feed was just an unending torrent of suck in the months leading up to the election in 2016, and once he won I never came back.

She was so great in Penny Dreadful as the head witch (the Nightcomers). Such an expressive face...

They’re lost. They’re living in an entirely different “reality” - their consensus reality no longer aligns with facts. It’s like a Philip K. Dick novel at this point.

I don’t know what this person is talking about with the response being “swifter” because of the cop’s gender. Like, all I need to see is that a cop shot an unarmed person and I’m immediately in “fuck the police” mode. I didn’t even know it was a woman at first. Like, are we supposed to take it more easy on her because…

And maybe take away their guns while we’re at it. Clearly they aren’t responsible enough to carry them. And that’s a generous appraisal - a lot of them are just violent psychopaths looking to shoot someone.

When we say “defund the police”, yes, we really do fucking mean it. Put the above as one more piece of evidence in the “Why?” column. Not only do they have the money to throw around, they’re throwing it at a kid who broke the law on his way to breaking the law by murdering some people. This is not an institution that…

Wait, after I’m vaccinated I can upload my consciousness to the net? Fuck yes!

It could if there were differential birth rates or their kids were dying before breeding, but either case is highly unlikely.
