All humans are instinctively aware of the existential importance of social acceptance, or at least not being socially radioactive. If you're already on the edge, clearly a public ostracization can push you over. Which forces one to consider whether the ostracization is fair. I would guess that 90%+ of people, if they were being honest, would admit that the race narrative stuff, when weaponized against an individual who only wants to bring some sanity to the discussion, is well beyond the point of fairness. They're not eager to say that out loud, of course, because of point #1 about the existential importance of not being radioactive.

That has to be quite an interesting experience. The sale of frogs of many types has been increasing, so the article is another example of that.

Brilliant!

@Horace said in The Facebook FIles: Ramaswamy notes that there is compelling reason to believe that, had the Hunter Laptop story not been suppressed, Trump would have won the election. That sound you hear upon reading that, is the subconscious gears turning in the heads of TDS sufferers, to see Ramaswamy as an existential threat. Actually, the number I've seen is approximately one in six Biden voters would not have voted for him.

@Jolly said in The Founders Warned Us: No more so than the parliamentary system. I was going to offer the election of Trudeau as evidence of how badly such a system can get screwed up, but then I thought of the tottering old thief we have in the Whitehouse... Nothing the matter with the parliamentary system, just the Trudeau Liberal Party’s inability to govern as a serious government. The lack of seriousness in Ottawa will change in very short order. The institution of parliamentary governance remains strong as ever regardless of the amateurs we repeatedly elect to office.

Not a bad idea. Nickelodeon debates.

@Axtremus said in Stale Chromebooks being sold as new?: they cut off support 7 years after a model is last sold Obsolete models are those that have discontinued for more than seven years. However, I don't think any of them are being marketed or sold as "new" as the Chromebooks are.

@Jolly said in Car Bloat: Or ...find a pickup with a standard. You'll never wear the transmission out and nobody under 40 could steal it. I wuz looking in the interwebs... Found a 2015 Nissan Frontier stretch cab, four-banger with a standard, 105,000 miles, asking $9990. That's a 200,000 mile truck. Has the itty-bitty jump seats behind the front seat, just big enough for a Chihuahua, but there's enough room there for groceries or a bunch of tools.

TDS much?

Spot on.
