All of the rich nations who are being overwhelmed by Islamic terrorists and parasites should band together to buy land in Africa or somewhere else to house them. Any “refugees,” economic migrants or asylees go there. That’s their new home. Provide enough troops to safeguard it and send some food (enough to survive), but that’s it. Then after a series of years-long evaluations, education, and tests, you can move to a real country.
I bet that would cut fake immigration 99%+.
Good. As it should be.
We do need to get a handle on that.
For my friends and allies, comity and grace.
For my enemies, the sword. Or space laser — whichever is more convenient.
The problem is most normal people aren’t killers, even under duress. It’s just as likely that the gun gets taken away from her and then used against her. This is mostly a good thing — a society of killers looks more like Iran or “Palestine” than what we have in the US.
I miss the fruitcake they used to sell at Publix in the 1980s. Haven’t found anything that good since.
It’s supposed to be 77° here tomorrow in non-commie numbers. That’s livable. I don’t really get comfortable until it’s above 80, but that’ll do.
Does anyone think the modern left has the best interest of anyone in mind other than themselves as atomized individuals? Their only guiding light seems to be their own self-aggrandizement and proving they are the most moral, the most righteous and that they are the most fecklessly forgiving human who has ever lived.
I have no idea how such suicidal pseudo-empathy develops.
As for me, to the enemies of civilization I offer an eternity below the ground. For everyone else, friendship.
Going to various record shops in Gainesville, Florida, with my friend when I was 17 on Saturdays. She was as crazy about music as I was and we’d spend hours pawing through all the CDs and looking for concert flyers.
We’d usually get up early, drive to Gainesville in the morning, hit 3-4 record shops, then finish out our excursion at Tony and Pat’s for pizza and pasta for lunch. Then go to a park, and next back home to listen to the new CDs.
What a foreign place all of that feels now. But how free it felt at the time.
Absolutely. Aella incorrectly said something like, “Men only go for the most beautiful 10/10 women.”
Wrong. That shows how fundamentally most women do not understand men. (Aella herself has an incredibly terrible understanding of men, which is kind of funny because she’s probably slept with more men than 99.99999% of women.)
In the absence of knowing anything about their personality, out of a lineup men will of course pick the most beautiful — just like a woman would pick, say, the most gorgeous dress before trying any of them on. For some reason, doing the completely obvious and natural when pressed to make an unnatural choice makes men evil.
But in reality, men will choose the woman with the better personality every single time as long as she meets some minimum standard of attraction. And I don’t even think it’s true that men (and quite a few women!) would pick Alysa just because she’s bubbly. It’s because she seems like someone who wouldn’t be a man-hating misandrist, which are incredibly common now. She behaves like someone who’d be a real person and that you could be a real person around too. That’s incredibly rare now, to find a woman like that.
I mean, knowing nearly nothing about them, of course I’d choose Alysa every time. I’m not an idiot. I can’t even really see Eileen as objectively more attractive anymore because I do know a bit too much about her. International model means nothing for most men. Beauty always fades and you don’t even notice it after a week or two. But you definitely do notice when you’re with a horrible narcissist. Choosing someone like that makes your life hell forever.
Further throwing the Fat Acceptance nonsense in the garbage bin where it belongs.
I hope Poland will not be lost to Islam nor to Russia; it might end up being the last stronghold of the West.
Basically. Alysa Wiu is an American. Eileen Gu is not, no matter what it says on her paperwork. Simple as that. Send Eileen back to China and bring a million more Alysas in.
That would make the country infinitely better.
I’ll probably never live in Florida again, but I’ll always be a Floridian.
My natural habitat is “swamp.”
The left is beyond fucking clownish here. As big a dipshits as you could possible imagine.
As a movement, it appears the left has not been willing to engage seriously with AI — despite its potential to affect the lives and livelihoods of billions of people in ways that would normally make it just the kind of threat, and opportunity, left politics would concern itself with
The left’s claims about AI1 are fucking ludicrous. They aver that it “doesn’t work” or that it’s a “plagiarism machine” and that there is nothing it can do better than any human and furthermore that it never will be able to do so. Meanwhile, my company has written an entire new product with 90% AI code in a short amount of time.
They’ve just ceded the real world and actual reality without even a fight for their fantasyland anchored in 2020 or so. In many ways, I think Covid broke the left. They saw it as their chance to completely transform society but other than minor changes, basically nothing happened. This destroyed them and drove the whole movement insane. This left them unable to deal with an actual huge societal rearrangement such as working AI.
The left should be pushing hard on making sure the productivity gains of AI are shared, that those put out of jobs (which is already happening) are taken care of, that there is a “public” non-corporate AI option, and many other things.
Instead, they are covering their ears, blindfolding their eyes and chanting, “LA LA LA LA” till they pass out. Absurd and ridiculous.
