It’s weird how in academia, if you have a PhD you can research any old boring-ass useless crap and people will give you plaudits for it, but if you don’t have a PhD or are not in academia at all you could turn up the explanation for the existence of the universe and create antigravity and no one would pay attention nor credit you.
In general, academia kind of sucks.
As usual, we must have some secret undocumented shit to neutralize all that gear; that is not trivial air defense and all that Russian equipment is in fact top notch.
An advantage of my tendency to tell actual authorities to fuck right off is that scammers pretending to be authorities have zero chance with me.
A lot of women: Sex is all men want and all they care about.
Same women: I only provide sex, have no other interests or personality, and these men don’t want me! That means they’re evil!

We are literally funding rapists to facilitate them raping more Danish girls.
Damn, that’s dystopian. But that’s how Munich is too. And why my friend left her home city forever. Germany is totally and completely turbo-fucked.
In the US, we should probably close the borders for 20-30 years to give time to adjust. Let Canada self-destruct and then help them pick up the pieces (with tons of trade concessions).
Mass Islamic immigration to Western countries was a huge mistake.
According to GiveWell, it is possible to save a life for about $4,000. Thus, the global humanitarian faces a trade-off: either one additional Muslim lives in Denmark for one more year, or four lives are saved elsewhere
And this unforced error is very likely to be civilization-ending. Especially for Europe.
