There are also "illegible" and some lacking a last name, e.g. "Joe ?"

As well as vague descriptions like "aunt" and "baby."

Looked through the entire logs, and if I'm understanding correctly, there are many instances of unnamed male or female, as well as passenger.

For people that are asking why a certain person is not named that you think should be there, maybe this is why.

Didn't see this in Canada, but no joke, the first thing that you see when you step off of a US plane into the UK terminal is a sign reminding you that you do not have freedom of speech and will be prosecuted for abusive language.

Alabama has some of the freest homeschooling laws. You can just say "no thanks" to the local school district, and that's all that's required.

Yeah, it's one of those "you have to know what you're doing" kind of situations. People that know what they're looking for and what to be wary of (e.g. no long-distance or online relationships) have a better time with it and of course with dating in general.

Yes, it's hard because there's fewer places to meet people as local communities crumble, especially under lockdowns. Many places probably have no alternative now. Ideally, local communities could be rebuilt through online organizing, but that takes time and some places may not have enough people for that.

Unfortunate, but yes. I was an early backer of the Rift, got one when I first saw it around 2012-2013, introduced a lot of people to VR with it, but have since stopped using the Quest and Go since they forced Facebook integration.

The good news is that Valve still seems to be an independent company with no investors or CCP influence, so I have a little more trust for their recent products and will recommend an Index to someone, still.

She's the best FL that we've had in years. It's really unfortunate that leftists seem to attack women that are normal and not pretending to be academics for the trappings of the title without the responsibility.

It's typical. Men will pretend to be conservative/right because they think that it will get them decent women. We have decent women because the actual right-wing does care about women and women tend to naturally be conservative when not influenced by people that are trying to make us mentally ill so that we're easy targets for the type that want sex without responsibility. Anyway, these type of males can often be spotted if you ask them some questions that an actual conservative would pass but that a coomer would not, like how they feel about porn. Some will lie, but amazingly, others will not! They really think that they're entitled to be a coomer and that we should be fine with this.

I lived in Arizona years back, and even then, people said that it was just becoming a colony of CA, because we had so many people from there. They ruined my neighborhood. Never met a CA leftist who wasn't trying to be an asshole, either.

The rate of breakups has increased and that's probably because local communities have been destroyed and people are now reliant on online dating.

There are unconscious signals of attraction that you can only pick up on in person. Online isn't ideal because you may convince yourself to be attracted to someone without ever experiencing them in person, and this can lead to a doomed relationship.

What might be a better alternative is arranging for a group with common values to get together for a mixer and seeing if anyone gets along.

You're not old. New music is terrible recently. I look at the top charts on YT and 90% is rap with the same percussion, same mumbling. It's not musical at all.

Liking some music with complexity is good. That's something that's decreased in pop music as average IQs have gone down since the 90s.

We have to or it will become a Chinese colony. China is actively working toward that goal right now with the probes that it's been sending there. They're just not very good at launches yet, but when they do get it together, they will set up a lunar base if we don't first, and then colonize the other planets.

All humans are carnivores; some have just weakened due to generations in the cage, like Pottenger's cats.

After a few generations in the cage (preserve, zoo, whatever you want to call it), the lion is no longer a lion. They become something else that's adapted to life in the cage.

They've been promoting fake trends of Republicans boycotting the polls for weeks.

This will be used as their cover when this election is stolen.

"Looks like Republicans just didn't vote, too bad."

"they're hypocrites" — yes, intentionally so

"Double standards!" — yep, that's the point

"They don't make any sense" — they're not trying to make sense, they're trying to confuse you

"They're driving me crazy with their gaslighting" — bingo, you can stop there, because that is in fact the point of gaslighting

The point is to make you stop paying attention or caring because it will never make sense, you just become conditioned to going along with whatever.

It's like the "how many fingers" thing from 1984. Some misread that as the point being that Winston was made to lie and they think to themselves that they'll never lie so they learn nothing from the book. No, the point was that he was made to stop caring how many there were, so he could neither lie nor tell the truth. This was modeled after Stalinist Russia.

Yes, and this is obvious if you just look back through time at the propaganda from Al Gore, et al, because it focuses almost exclusively on criticizing America, followed by the West, and then with nothing of China and its colonies in Africa because "developing world must catch up."

This is the most important message that we can be spreading right now.

Westerners have basically been conditioned out of their instincts, replaced by ideals of peaceful coexistence and servitude to avoid more world wars — while others have not.
