the American Revolution, the most important event in our history, was shameful because a primary reason it was fought was to preserve slavery

Does anyone really believe this?

I'm beginning to think, maybe some do.

crazy

Sure, humans believe whatever is socially advantageous for them to believe. Wokedom is socially advantageous (consider how many friends these outraged people made or reinforced with those tweets) and the belief in it by the mediocre indoctrinated masses is not different psychologically from any other belief. It is a fully felt and trusted belief.

It’s being looked at.

Not a lot of difference in some ways.

I can proudly say that I couldn't answer even a single question.

Me too. Actually, I got a couple of them right, but guessed on every question.

@axtremus said in NASA reconsiders Mars missions after Hi Seas:

It’s the sort of thing that, if it weren’t for my existing earthly duties, I would most likely have applied to volunteer. 🙂

Trying to catch a flight home, eh?

Very cool!

@horace said in Trump on Israel:

Woke outrage has an outsized intimidation factor because everybody is afraid of being labeled racist or bigoted or pick-your-leftist-synonym-for-evil. The culture will need to be well beyond mostly tired of it all, because each individual will still fear for their social and economic lives should they find themselves in the crosshairs.

I don't think it'll take that much. Living in a totalitarianship really sucks, and everyone not indoctrinated knows it. All it takes is a large-enough alternative community, and the grip will quickly slacken. Look what happened to the Salvation Army. Look how ineffective they were in cancelling Chappelle. And Cleese. And Seinfeld. And Peterson.

Also, what Jolly said. They're too rabid to even remain stable among their own.

Bahamas a few weeks later.

On a cruise.

Shots required and a test within 48 hours of departure.

People who get the 3rd shot are more likely to take care of their health.

So people who get the 3rd shot are healthier.

Or maybe if the virus is going to kill you, it doesn't give you a chance to get to the 3rd shot.

@larry said in How many inches is yours?:

9, but I've lost an inch or so over the last couple of years..

One time a woman said to me "baby, I want 10 inches of rock-hard cock and I want it now". I said "listen babe, I don't fold my dick in half for anybody".

Same woman came up to 89 and said "give me 10 inches and make it hurt". So he fucked her twice and hit her in the head with a brick.

Nope.

So? Our boys have been snubbing wild sour gas wells the world over. I remember once particularly nasty high pressure sour well near Tengiz in 1987 the Russians couldn’t snub themselves. They called on Red Adair ‘s Boots and Coots boys. They in turn brought in our H2S and CO2 wild well fellas and it was snubbed in a week.

So white people don't like it when you judge them by their skin color.

Interesting.

I don't believe him.

He is demented.

And stupid.

You didn't believe him when he said he would shut down the virus or when he said it was the winter of death?

Since they are kind of opposite, shouldn't one of them be right? 555

"You're walking down a path and come to two doors. One of the doors leads to a life of prosperity and happiness, and the other door leads to a life of misery and sorrow. You don't know which door is which. In front of the door is ONE man. You know that this man either always lies, or always tells the truth, but you don't know which. The man knows which door is which. "

Nope you can be demented AND stupid. It does take talent, though.
