how overpopulation usually works out:
-people have too many kids for a while
-people stop having too many kids because they can't raise them

frequently proposed media solution to overpopulation:
-the lower classes shall abandon their traditional diets and feast on corpse worms https://t.co/hm9iqt4BGc

That liberal utopia is lookin’ great. Can’t wait! Will have more to say about this in the near future where I will outline where my philosophy and ideology is heading (which is far away from this sort of thinking).

Banning AC is not looking like such a clever idea now that it’s going to be 110 in Minneapolis is it, you fucking wankers?

Here’s proof I sold Netflix seven months ago.

If you’re running with the herd you’re going to get trampled. If you find yourself in a herd, be making a plan for an unnoticed divergence and then start heading the other way — for the herd is very stupid and prone to panic.

I DGAF if I get sweaty. It dries! It's mostly odorless water! But I think I get away with a lot of stuff because of thin person privilege basically.

Found another one who has never worked in a formal/stuffy office job where coming in to work sweaty is absolutely 100% not an option.

I know, I know, it’s hard to write abut experiences you’ve never had but a lot of occupations are like this. I’ve had at least two jobs where if I came in to work dripping sweat, it would not have been acceptable. And no, there was no place to change or shower.

Every time I see anyone who is opposed to unrestricted, unregulated immigration equated with being a Nazi and a racist, I have to laugh a little at how clever the neoliberals were to make that connection and to con so many “well-meaning” people with it. Do these people being conned even know they are the target of a propaganda operation?

Of course, in 99.5%+ of people the open borders cant is just performative and signaling anyway, so it doesn’t mean much. They no more truly want unrestricted immigration than they do ebola. The propaganda masters and corporations, though — oh, they definitely are all for open borders and all that horseshit. It keeps the price of labor nice and low, prevents any union formation and will eventually foreclose on the possibility of social services being provided to the populace. “Open borders” is just what the doctor ordered for destroying any possibility of political unity for at least two generations.

It is amazing how quickly “open borders” went from a political non-starter to the accepted religion of the progressives. Won’t be long before all the best progressives are pulling an immigrant behind them on a leash as a totem/mascot — and so they can mow the grass or wash the dishes or wipe nana’s bum as required. I mean, that’s what they are here for, right progressives? Yeah? No?

If you think I am being ridiculous, you should read what progressives write about this stuff. What I wrote above is barely even parody.

One thing that has really struck me I’ve the past 2+ weeks in Japan is how active and fit older people are here. I’ve seen countless people age 70+ using cycles for transportation, running to catch trains, catch a light, etc. you just don’t see that as much in the US.

That’s because the corporations and the Fat Acceptance movement have destroyed any possibility of this. There is no safe place to exercise in our built environment, and it is actively discouraged in other ways. According to the FA movement, if you exercise and care about feeling good and having a decent body, you have body dysmorphia — never mind their own severe mental illness and harming their own children.

Weird how Obama came into power with a commanding popular mandate and changed virtually nothing, while Trump was swept into power with a 3-million-vote loss and is actively restructuring state structures in ways that may prove irreversible.

The conventional wisdom (echoed by many, all morons) is that Obama was just a tiny little baby, who had no power at all as president, and that he could do nothing, that he was as a helpless little duckling lost on a vast sea of impossibility, constrained at every turn, hemmed in by a vast and implacable wall of political recalcitrance.

In reality, Obama just didn’t want to do the things that would’ve truly bettered the country. He didn’t want to oppose the banksters, or the Republicans. He didn’t want to help homeowners or the poor. Or at least he didn’t want it more than he cared about getting obscenely rich after leaving office.

And that’s the real truth of it right there.

Had my first exerience with paper straws in a DC bar today. Couldn’t believe it was real. Consequences were predictable and absurd. We suck the dregs of our civilization’s sanity through these mushy tubes

Going to research the decay rate of various plastics and perhaps buy a few thousand more plastic straws and other plastic utensils.

Can’t insulate against all liberal stupidity, but against some, sure.

More info Kevin Drum needs to read but won’t.

A perfect example of this is how the U.S. housing market has, once again, gotten way ahead of rents and wages.

That's why the U.S. housing boom since 2012 is another bubble. It's not identical to the mid-2000s, but it's another bubble variant.https://t.co/JvLMwMV6LK

Kevin Drum puts in earplugs, slaps on some blinders, and declares confidently, “All is well!” Such is the purview of old white Boomers who fucked the planet.
