"Rights" and "Entitlements" are synonymous to the liberal. I'm not sure their lexicon even includes "entitlement" anymore.

Yep, died of COVID. He was too beautiful for the world.

He's charged with 3rd degree murder and manslaughter. What's the difference between those things in Minnesota?

Also, for felony murder, what felony does the prosecution contend that Chauvin was engaged in when Floyd was killed?

State Dept. is a cesspool.

Theyre not cheating. You can't cheat at calvinball because there are no rules. The only "rules" are rules your opponent has convinced you to play by. The only governing body we can appeal to are the Gods of the Copybook Headings.

I'm glad I was around for the whole... what, 6 days? I only discovered r/honkler some three days before the banhammer fell and I missed so much. That sub was a riot.

It was a reaction to the "trans women are women" slogan. Super-sexuality: attraction to a single gender; no attraction to trans-kin.

Produce a hundred documentaries and they'll call you a journalist.

Produce a hundred documentaries and eat one human brain and they'll call you a cannibal.

Isn't he gay-married? What's the Catholic position on gay-divorce?

I said the ban-hammer would land on Thursday at the latest. So if anyone in the pool had Tuesday, I lose.

Yeah, I give it two days before they'll need a soft landing.

Do Koreans eat with sticks? I thought Korea used metal chopsticks.

Peacocks evolved giant cumbersome tails purely because hen's find them sexy. Social selection (sexual selection, more commonly) is more than capable of working changes to the human brain.

Being socially ostracised triggers the same neural circuitry as physical torture in people. It's a highly aversive stimulus. That piece of wiring, like all of our brains' wiring, is the result of evolutionary selection pressures. Ostracism leads to genetic death; people who weren't averse to ostracism failed to pass on their genes.

Evolution is an ongoing process. We are sitting at neither the end of history nor the end of evolution.

The genes of a man ostracised from society die with him. Evolution never stops, we are just subjected to different selection pressures.

The game is evolution and the only opt out is death. Even if you don't have kids yourself, you make choices every day which advantage or disadvantage your tribe.

Since when does YouTube have ads?

Hard to identify a never-Trumper-owned business, though now that I'm thinking about it I guess I do buy stuff off Amazon sometimes, so I have patronised a never-Trumper store.

Ive got no problem shopping at a business owned by white nationalists; not like they're hurting anyone.

I was reading the FDA reports on the vaccines this morning. They list the efficacy as the percentage of immunised people who later contracted covid vs a non-immunised control group. It would be more accurate to describe the virus as having a lower r0 among vaccinated people than it would otherwise, but the r0 doesn't go to 0. The other problem is that the rna vaccine hasn't been trialed longitudinally and it may be an immunity that wears off after a few months. Not a great situation all around.

Would he approve of the current state of affairs? Lesser of two evils, then.

A lie that you think is true is an error of fact. It's not "ok" to make errors, particularly if your "profession's" reason for existing is to inform the public about facts.

My understanding is that the winning slate of electors must be sent to DC along with a certificate bearing the great seal of the states and the signature of the governor. In the case of the Hawaii dueling electors, it was only because the governor certified two slates that Nixon was able to select between them.

The alternate slates of electors would have needed to be ratified by the Governors to have a true "dueling elector" situation. Even a slate ratified by the state legislature would have been a fig leaf. He had neither. He had what amounted to a letter of protest from the Trump campaign organizations in various states. The constitutional process doesn't give them any standing.

Consider what it would mean if the party that lost the state election could send an alternate slate of electors without certification by the state government, and those electors could be chosen by the sitting VP in tabulating EC votes. There would never be another "peaceful transition of power" again. The VP would re-elect the incumbent or elect himself President every four years.

The ancho salmon's a good lunch.

It will take a practiced eye to differentiate between Clown World white supremacy and Pride Parade progressivism. Fewer dildos and less child luring on the white supremacist side will be the giveaway.

"The Cruel Fate of Kekistan" is Murdoch's best work, in my opinion (not counting Metamorphosis of course). Well worth seeking out.
