“New York Times conducts hostile interview with children’s education influencer questioning her recognition of comprehensively documented war crimes” is not a sentence I could have imagined a few years ago

The biggest tell that someone is a dullard is having no favorite bands or movies or some form of entertainment. It's how you know those "grindset" types are the dumbest fucks on the planet. They have no interests. They are literally the NPCs they bitch about. You're a cog in the shit machine
The JCO post about Elon not liking anything is something I've said before about a lot of politics poisoned posting addicts. People who never once post about a band they like or anything at all. There are so many like that.

The wealthiest, most powerful men in the world want slaves without having to see a Black person, girlfriends without having to talk to women, the thrill of being a Hollywood director without having to build any creative skills, and the ability to cheat death. We must mock them ruthlessly.

virtue signalling is good actually
Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.
It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.
And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

These are the high points of Watson's long and "distinguished" career. There are many more, but I have to stop somewhere.
James Dewey Watson was a bigot, a fraud, a plagiarist, and a thoroughly unpleasant man. May his name be forgotten altogether.

That’s a fantastic comparison, because the reason they added lead to gasoline was just to increase convenience a tiny bit, and they’ve poisoned the world in the process.
The good news is: Impossible as it may seem, we banned it worldwide and its bad effects are now mostly gone.

2. this is extremely based btw. more women should take testosterone if they want it. testosterone and estrogen supplementation for women in menopause is extremely useful for giving them energy and libido back. suffering is not virtuous nor necessary! menopause SUCKS!!!!
