they are a significant source of disinformation about actually successful Western Communists such as Jackson Hinkle and Infrared.
lmao, it’s dumb enough to argue that these reactionaries are communists, but by what possible metric are they succesful? Actual socialism is still a tiny niche in western politics, but what they’re promoting is a tiny niche even compared to that.
Because humans haven’t been selectively bred for specific traits.
Because dog breeds are not comparable to genetic differences in humans. They’ve been actively bred for certain characteristics, going through a lot of generations extremely fast in controlled environments in a way that’s impossible in nature. All humans are essentially mongrels. The reason we don’t do racial classification of personality traits in humans isn’t just because it’s morally abhorrent, but also because it doesn’t work, while because of the selective breeding of dogs, there can be big differences in their behaviour due to their breed.
It’s also important that while a dog’s breed does have an influence on it’s behaviour, it’s not absolute, and you can’t actually predict a dog’s behaviour through its breed alone.
China also has around the same conviction rates as Japan because indictments get withdrawn if acquittal is on the cards. I think there’s definitely problems with that kind of approach, but just pointing out the stats doesn’t paint the whole picture.
It’s a bit funny if a giant spaceship flew across the galaxy just to ruin my picnic by dropping a bomb specifically on me.
It’s a few years ago now, but I used to have a recurring nightmare about having a nuke or bomb dropped on me.
Usually it was by human bombers, but sometimes it was alien ships. I especially remember this one time when it started with having a picnic at a park, but then the clouds part and there’s this massive, planet-sized ship hanging over us, and I hear the scary, whistling sound and see the bombs falling just before I wake up.
Gen Z/Gen Alpha weirdness isn’t really any weirder than previous generations
Got an hour long video in my feed titled “Why everyone hates streamers”.
So annoying when people do that shit. YOU hate streamers. The vast majority of people, who aren’t terminally into online drama, aren’t gonna have any particularly strong emotions towards streamers.
love when they talk about how easy it is to upset the left when they’re clearly just angry about black history month existing
also why is the art so horny?
Was browsing goodread reviews for a book I was considering and the top review is deducting a star because it wasn’t “balanced” on gender critical views and took a hardline stance against it. 
Sounds like praise to me tbh.
i’ll admit that stanley cups are cute but the amount of hype seems a bit unreasonable
No, it’s the result of the eldritch abomination keeping Joe Biden growing powerful enough to distort reality in whatever room he’s in.
Isn’t the idea that alphas are packleaders for betas? If there’s an equal amount of alphas and betas are they all just leading a single sidekick?
Drawing on a study produced by the Becker Friedman Institute for Economics at the University of Chicago, Pagaduan reported that 53 percent of the sheltered unhoused population and 40 percent of the unsheltered unhoused population were employed either part- or full-time from 2011 to 2018.
Literally the second sentence of the article.
That’s sounds pretty promising. How does it actually function? I’m asuming it can’t be hormonal considering how hard it is to block sperm production that way, which could maybe mean less (or at least different) side effects than hormonal birth-control.
Everyone who wanted to volunteer for war came a long time ago - it’s too hard now to tempt people with money. Now we’re getting those who didn’t manage to escape the draft. You’ll laugh at this, but some of our marines can’t even swim.
Harrowing stuff, I can’t even imagine being put into a situation like this against your will.
I’m starting to doubt if Zelensky is gonna last another year. He’s seems to be getting more and more criticism, from higher up the chain of command too. I guess that’s unavoidable as the war goes on, but his response is always to claim it isn’t true and keep begging nato for bigger guns, which I can’t imagine is great at placating unrest.
I defrosted my freezer earlier today. The constant humming as it works on getting back to normal temperature is slowly driving me insane.
Baroness Helena Morrissey is a member of the House of Lords. She has worked in financial services for more than 30 years.
Yeah, this person seems normal and trustworthy.
It’s a complete sham price. Even other Europeans have criticized it for being to Sweden-centric.
Along with the obvious pro-European cultural bias, how is a comittee of 18 Swedes supposed to judge texts from all languages in the world fairly? Anything you can read untranslated is gonna have a huge advantadge.
Love how photo filters are everywhere now. I’ll take a picture of myself where I think I’m really cute, apply a beauty filter out of curiosity, then realize that the real me is actually mid as fuck.
