It kinda is, its practically a requirement for a lot of corporate espionage and a lot of spies have entire lives alongside their spy duties. Also fun joke I’ve heard about Vladivostok during the Cold war, “There were surprisingly only a handful of people in that city, American spies, Soviet counter intelligence, smugglers, cargo movers, and baristas who ignored the whole mess” heard that from an ex-CIA guy who was doing a talk at a spy exhibit back when I was a kid.
You say that as if it’s unlikely, a lot of these bigger front end conservative orgs are basically held up by a handful of major figures. Also they tend to be shit when it comes to finances see the Daily Wire and all their failed attempts at basically anything that isn’t a talk show. TPUSA is replaceable just like the rest, they’ll collapse and some other shitstain organization will fill its place sooner or later.
Honestly I don’t think Trump ever moved past being 3 or 4 on an internal level, his actions make sense if you consider that he never developed internalized functions for morality, intellectualism, or even an internal code. He may very well still be at the point where the only reason he knows not to touch a hot stove is because he got physically hurt by it because he can’t internally run the calculations that fire hot. Or at least that’s what makes sense to me, he’s basically a lot like a small child only reacting to the world.
It’s also possible that they’re facing a lot of internal resistance, the type wherein you spend 4 hours polishing a piece of metal because they wanted it spotless. Could also be that they’ve burned down enough of the back end structure that now nothing works like it’s supposed to resulting in massive lag.
Eh Chomsky has always been a bastard IMO. Fun fact I first came across his name when doing research on the Cambodian genocide in middle school (I was that kid who chose the worst things to write about in open ended essays) wherein he sided with the fucking Khmer Rouge. Seriously the one fucking time siding with the Soviet Union is the correct choice and you align yourself with the fucking Khmer Rouge.
In the defense of Heinlein all his books are weird regardless of the politics within, looking at you Stranger from a strange land. Seriously that whole book goes from Heinleins vaguely horny thought experiment to psychic sex cult real fucken quick, also why do I get the feeling Heinlein and Roddenberry shared a surprising number of friends.
Technically the US has been in a near constant state of war since it’s founding if you include the various Indian wars, and I’m not talking about just the big ones like with Little Bighorn I’m including the small guerilla wars that basically devolved into banditry. I think there were a handful of small gaps but usually those only lasted a year or two.
The argument I could see is that a person’s personhood is relevant to their actions, but Trump doesnt really fall into that category in my opinion. Hes more a void of a person existing on base impulse and desire further amplified by his narcissism. Seriously is there anything Trump actually like? And not in a way that could be explained by scratching his base impulses at any given time?
Fucken hell didn’t realize it was that bad. I just remember folks talking about it and seeing a couple screenshots didn’t realize they had that piss poor of a filter even then, but then again what should I expect from silicon valley?
Damnatio Memoriae as the Romans called, the removal of a person not just from life but also memory. Though I say we keep his actions and consequences recorded, just remove his personhood and likeness. Every picture and video of him should just be mess of static and fucked but understandable audio. Things not related to his presidency should be destroyed in their entirety.
As someone who wears a surplus Czech army field jacket, I take umbridge with thine implications. Surplus is just thrift with a bias towards khaki, camo, and questionable food products. Also you can get some pretty solid storage boxes via surplus vendors, I keep my bungies and jumpers in a waterproof 30mm ammo case in the bed of my truck
If it is a horse, those fuckers ain’t cheap. Also you can’t just forget about them in the garage after your done with them, well you can but eventually you’ll have a dead horse and even more problems.
Not much to say. Basically there was a reddit post about eating rocks or some shit, one of the responses was basically you should eat 3 to 6 rocks a week. An AI scraped the data and gave it as an answer verbatim.
Be it from an actual teenager or possibly it’s a very specific reddit post or something that is basically being copy pasted. Like that one with the rocks.
Because a solid percentage of the country quite literally wants women barefoot and pregnant, with another solid percentage following along with them because something something taxes something something jerbs.
Yeah I started drinking it to cut sugar and more specifically soda from my diet. Went from 220s to 170s since about February, if I actually tried I could probably get down to 150. But yeah it’s pretty decent.
Hey now don’t do them dirty like that, it’d be bacon grease and butter totally different taste.
Your wingers sound delightful, trade you for my California seasons where the sun is a deadly Lazer most of the damned time. Even when it’s cold that bright fucker in the sky will burn your skin, though I guess I’m also exceptionally pale.
Would you really put it past him to use the emergency warning system to try to force people to watch his decrepit lard ass talk? Personally I’d go chuck my phone into my car until it’s over while playing Cyberpunk 2077 and watching Eva.
Hey now the crucifix is a plenty civilized torture device. Unlike the savages who just killed you before desecrating your corpse the Romans lashed you to a cross and displayed your still living body then they’d take your corpse down eventually. Do you not see the fruits of civilization when compared to the savagery of the barbarian, especially since you may get running water and lead poisoning in return.
You know I was initially making what amounted to pro-Roman shitpost but uhhhh it kinda turned into a weird commentary on the United States midway through.
