4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.

Originally Coorey story had if CGT was changed to the old way of just accounting for inflation, that it could mean the discount could drop from 50% to 3.8% (the current inflation)
And well no. That's not how you calculate real gains.

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

My newest favorite ridiculous thing is the guy on Threads proudly proclaiming he's going to mass produce bread with Italian flour so it won't trigger gluten allergies. He thinks the riboflavin in American flour is the problem. Sympathies to anyone that gets sick, but stupidity needs to hurt
Have y’all seen people online talk about how they drank raw milk for years without an issue because they boiled it beforehand?
So many cooked brains.

A big problem in the industry is how many people conflate "Not a danger to me" with "Not a danger to anyone." And I keep seeing the terrible impact of that so maybe stop doing that.

The most maddening thing when talking about sex pests in media is that the genre actually doesn't matter. They're literally everywhere. And they love to form their own creepy networks. But if you respond in kind, somehow you're the problem.
