Translation: Bernie won big and now we have to cook the results so that he didn’t win, because that’d just be wrong and against the will of the people who matter: the rich and the pundits.

Books Per Day
I can believe it. When I was a kid and had tons of free time I could burn through 3-4 books a day routinely, and sometimes more. When you read 12-18 hours a day, it’s not that hard to read a lotta damn books.
Common MBA
What a waste of time, money and resources. Someone in Upper management had the bright idea to make everyone in the leisure, culture and education sector train to be interchangeable. Needless to say, I cannot work as a lifeguard. Nor should I. I am a library worker.

This happens in IT, too. It’s a very common MBA idea, I think, across industries. I’d wager a guess that it occurs because MBAs have no special skills and that causes them to believe that no one else does, either.
At a previous job it was announced that every systems engineer would be trained in everything so that we’d all be able to do any IT role found there. That encompassed about 30 areas of expertise and maybe 200+ subfields within those specialties. Needless to say, this didn’t work as it’s absolutely impossible. Just absurd. One would need a lifespan of a thousand years to become even adequate — much less achieve expertise — in all of those areas.
This initiative utterly failed and was quickly forgotten.
We Have Gotten Better At Guessing
The gods did not reveal, from the beginning,
All things to us, but in the course of time
Through seeking we may learn and know things better.
But as for certain truth, no man has known it,
Nor shall he know it, neither of the gods
Nor yet of all the things of which I speak.
For even if by chance he were to utter
The final truth, he would himself not know it:
For all is but a woven web of guesses.
-Xenophanes
Arbi
Liberals use the word “arbitrary” in way that’s absolutely meaningless. Some social construct is “arbitrary,” who gives a whoop. Many of these constructs are essentially unchangeable over short time scales and many more are likely unalterable even over very long time scales.
In the end everything is arbitrary, so that’s really saying nothing. Even the laws of the universe are very likely arbitrary in that there might be other universes with different rules.
IT DOESN’T FUCKING MATTER what’s arbitrary or not in most ways. That’s just way of of liberal avoiding dealing with any issues, combined with some virtue and intelligence signaling. Declaring something “arbitrary” doesn’t give you an argument win, it just means you are useless in any real battle for anything.
DIY
The job centre have sent us four people today who cannot read. They cannot even tell me which letters are which. One of them described a C as “the curly one.”
Legally I can’t even look at their universal credit account.
Do they expect me to teach these poor people to read?

They serve no purpose to the capitalist enterprise and thus must be soft-eliminated.
These days we don’t put people in concentration camps and just outright kill them. No, we isolate them, tell them they are worthless to our civilization and provide them with plentiful opioids, abundant harmful pabulum filled with sugar and little else, and let them go die on their own, unremarked.
Then we tell those barely still making it in the system and the families of those liquidated that they “brought this on themselves.” Why bother with the expense of concentration camps? It’s a gig extermination, DIY eradication world.
Anx
I have never felt anxious that I know of. I can only guess what anxiety feels like because I observe it in others. However it feels, I have never experienced anything like that I am quite sure.
Don’t want to, either.
Choose
the myth of "perfect health" and the desirability of it keeps people in denial about (often treatable) illnesses or conditions, which in turn prevents them from getting the resources they need
— Yael Grauer (@yaelwrites) February 2, 2020
True in the small minority of cases. Most people have the power to be fitter and more healthy to a greater degree than they allow themselves to believe — most just don’t want to. It’s not all individual fault, of course. There is a vast array of ubiquitous and unavoidable propaganda imploring you to lounge on your couch, caress your smartphone lovingly and consume, consume, consume.
That is not nothing. But who do you want making the choices in your life, you or some marketing putz from Nabisco? Choose wisely.
Enfant Acceptable
Agreed, but many women appear to want to be infantilized, and feminists are 100% all for it, so what will stop it?
DPS
Yeah Karen if you could not take pictures of random Asian women with their partners, label them suspected sex slaves and forward it for inclusion in an unknown database we’d really appreciate it. https://t.co/QX1GLQdqt3

This is one of the reasons (of many) that I stand against liberalism. To modern liberals, dating someone from another race is racism if you are white. Now, I guess, it’s racism and sex trafficking.
Jesus fuck what a bunch of dipshits.

Breaking:
The will be no more polls because they all show @BernieSanders crushing the rest of the field.https://t.co/LiqMSJvuMT— Webstir 🔥🌹Leftist Lawyers for #Bernie2020 (@TheRealWebstir) February 2, 2020
That’s it. One of the largest propaganda operations in history is about to be unleashed against Bernie Sanders by the plutes and their sycophants.
Tanked
I wonder how many of us will lose our accounts bc of being reported as โmisleadingโ?
Insane dems. begging for censorship finally got what they want. Now any1 has the authority to decide what is and isn't factual. This will hurt & censor the left, not the racist right-wingers pic.twitter.com/mWJrHKpfhW

I told you stupid, stupid motherfuckers that calls for censorship would harm the left far more than the right. And now, here we are, with exactly what I said would happen happening. And everyone is acting all shocked.
Buncha dumbasses, you’re the kind of people who check if the gas tank is empty or full with a cigarette lighter.
Gloved
I groaned when I saw the title of this “etymology” post on Treehugger, as a great deal of etymology is garbage. And the first one is exactly that:
Foxglove has not the first thing to do with fairies. This is some false etymology from the 1800s sometime. The “glove” just means nearly the same thing that “digitalis” means — that its blossoms could fit over a finger. “Fox” is just a common English name for herbs and plants for which the origin is lost.
By the way, the German name of the plant is “fingerhut” which literally means “finger hat.”
Fromm Here To Veracity
โThe fact that millions of people share the same vices does not make these vices virtues, the fact that they share so many errors does not make the errors to be truths, and the fact that millions of people share the same forms of mental pathology does not make these people sane.โ
-Erich Fromm
Both Doom
Both liberals and conservatives wish to make the world worse in significant ways, and that’s why I stand against both of them. That they think they are helping some people, or many people, doesn’t matter. Thinking and intentions is not enough. That you mean well — or even mean ill — is irrelevant.
