I kind of knew this already, but Jill Fillipovic is a hypocritical piece of shit. This is an example of the “feminists” we’re stuck with — really power-apologist neoliberals.

Tara Reade “lied” about her degree nonsense is the Anita Hill treatment all over again, just in a different guise. Filipovic is all about smearing someone not in her income bracket and who might make pervy Uncle Joe look bad.

PMBA

Everybody done know WFH was more productive. That it’s even more productive during a goddamn pandemic means absent that it’d be 2x at least.

It was always power-hungry MBA types who didn’t want people to work from home.

Rift Shift

Chill Regular-ass Post

Strange, isn’t it, how ideologies shift so drastically and then most people deny that it has occurred? Of course context matters but 180 degree reversals are hard to explain in any sort of comprehensible framework.

Posi

Chill Uncategorized

Well, the contrapostive is that if he had tested very negatively, he’d be negative on his positive. And which in all positivity would negate the negation of his non-non-negativity, which I’d also be nonplussed to discuss without any negativity.

And of all that, I am almost positive.

Party Line

Chill Uncategorized

Ha. Remember when the liberals were all for censoring everything? This was the inevitable and predictable result.

Soon, it’ll be impossible to find accurate information. All you’ll find is what the “experts” lie about, and the centrist types echo.

Nor That Way

Chill Regular-ass Post

This is how much easier a spoken language Norwegian is than French: I could understand as much spoken Norwegian in two months as I could French in five years.

There is a reason the French have dictée competitions — French is one of the most difficult spoken languages to understand. I don’t have any interest in learning any more Norwegian than I currently know, but I think I could easily learn to understand pretty much all spoken and written Norwegian in less than a year. By contrast, that same task in French has taken more than a decade.

No End

The End of Meat Is Here. If you care about the working poor, about racial justice, and about climate change, you have to stop eating animals.

More doofy dipshits using the pandemic to push their preferred societal alterations.

I will never give up eating meat because I don’t enjoy feeling like garbage and being malnourished all the time. There is nothing that could make me give up eating meat.

That said, we should improve the labor and animal welfare situation. I am all for this.

Hayley

I don’t know much if anything about Hayley Williams, though I like a few of Paramore’s songs. But I like this thread just because of how genuine it is. I felt this way about Tanya Donelly for many years, for much the same reasons.

All The Same

Chill Regular-ass Post

We’ve been at war for almost 20 years. Most Americans have been fine with that — both all our troops dying and killing hundreds of thousands of others, mostly civilians.

Why wouldn’t they be fine with thousands more dying a little closer to home?

Traipse

Chill Uncategorized

That’s an AK-102 clone of some sort, but yeah, total coward loser.

Also, the safety is off and the fire selector is set to “fire” (meaning that if the trigger gets snagged on something or that the kid it’s pointed out reaches out to touch it, it’d fire). And it’s pointed right at someone, as mentioned. About what I’d expect to to see with these types.
