Here's Eve the 3 month old capybara at the Miami Zoo demonstrating one of the OTHER many ways capys have of moving through the water: half-hearted bipedalism.
Note that eyes, ears and nostrils are fully above the water line.

The reason the United States has the United States, is because of imperialism
The entire history of the US from 1492 onwards is imperialism, in one direction or another
this is like a fish not knowing what "water" is

KERNEN: Europeans are talking about it almost being like Vladimir Putin and Ukraine.
JEFF LANDRY: I disagree. When has the United States engaged in imperialism? Never. Europe has engaged in imperialism. The reason the Danish have Greenland is because of imperialism.

The most important thing you need to remember about all of this is the main reason they keep doing it is because the only thing they love more than doing it is watching you insist they can’t do that and it’s not true. They don’t care. They just care that you do.

Richard Spencer used to openly wax rhapsodic about the days of European colonial administrators sipping mint juleps in hot African summers.
The fantasy of subjugation of the other is the whole point, not actually knowing the subject matter.

For the record, that's all the far right *is*. They want the vibe of unpainted Greco-Roman marble statues, they don't want the centuries of philosophy or its implications. They simply want to steal the valour of the erudite.
For all their talk of Western civilization they seem oblivious or even contemptuous of core Western texts.

Richard Carpenter deserves so much appreciation. Possessed of an excellent imagination married to a fascination with history, he came up with CATWEAZLE, THE GHOSTS OF MOTLEY HALL (of which GHOSTS was an unattributed reboot and no one can tell me different), and ROBIN OF SHERWOOD. He was brilliant.
[The ITV Robin of Sherwood series is the most significant change in how Robin Hood stories were told in a good couple of hundred years, and have shaped every one since, including viewing Richard as a shit.]

ultimately this type of guy views children as property and if someone sold you a defective blender you'd take it back for a refund. I dont think its much more complicated than that

"What if *the Pope* rebuked Donald Trump? What then, eh?"
Well, what if he fuckin' did? Trump isn't religious, let alone an observant Catholic, why would he give a damn?
this is just wishing out loud
maybe THIS wizard will miraculously fix everything, with magic!

Reminder that when Scott Adams dies very soon we're going to have to deal with another wave of nazi fucks trying to get people fired and suspended from sites and shit.
I'm not exactly saying "watch what you say," but what you're saying will be watched so plan accordingly.

For this recipe you will want 2 tablespoons of sauteed spinach. If you have fresh spinach, consult this table to see how much fresh spinach you will need to reduce down to 2 tbsp

This is all in the realm of “it’s impossible for the average punter to know what happened here but it immediately stank to high heaven and the stench has only got massively worse since” but yes, it seems fair to say that the security services may “not have given an accurate picture” of what happened
