Secularism, humanism, stoicism, minimalism.

Historically, people from Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, & Israel were not considered true white people. White Americans gradually acquiesced to increase the population of white people in the United States (i.e., to keep the majority).

True white people were Protestants, not Catholics or Jews.

The Associated Press is banned from the Oval Office because they do not use the term "Gulf of America."

I thought Republicans were all about the 1st Amendment. Good for AP for not capitulating to the anti-Constitution party.

Republicans are anti-immigration, but even President Elona Musk prefers H-1B visa workers because (a) he himself was one, and (b) they're just as talented and skilled as American workers but are accepting of less salary/benefits.

The U.S. is a hypocritical free market. We want to sell to other countries (globalist), but we handicap other countries selling to us (isolationist).

Science, technology, & innovation are boundary-less; they don't happen just in the U.S.

Based on science & DNA, Native (Real) Americans came from Asia. It's a tough pill to swallow for white supremacists like MAGAtards.

I know they don't believe in woke/science stuff, so they wouldn't understand.

Intelligent beings from another planet wouldn't know who Jesus or Muhammad were.

This is how stupid religion superiority is. Think about it.

"Move fast and break things." That's the Republican playbook, breaking every institution that stood for years.

But regression to the mean is a real thing. There will be a correction. When it's all said and done, the Hitler wannabes will be put in their place.

U.S. is

57.8% White (ancestry from Europe, the Middle East, North Africa)
18.7% Hispanic
12% Black or African American
5.9% Asian
4% Mixed
1% Native American
<1% Pacific Islander

It's not unreasonable for the gov't or workforce be comprised of similar percentages.

Republicans are CINOs, Christians in name only.

Hey fake Christian Republicans, remember the Salem Witch Trials?

Just realized Jesus was the OG witch. He was doing witchcraft like walking on water, turning water into wine, & rising back from the dead.

People got crucified for less shit. Just wanted to piss you off using your own logic.

Before social media, dumb people remained in isolated patches across the U.S.

On top of giving dumb people shorter attention spans, social media gave the "silent majority" of anti-science, anti-academic, anti-environment, anti-empathy Christofascists, supremacists, & neo Nazis, a way to assemble.

I don't use Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp. I just make money off people who do. (OK, I might log in once in a blue moon.)

Waffle House is placing a surcharge on every egg it sells.

I blame Jimmy Carter's peanut farm, Obama's tan suit and fancy mustard, Hillary's emails, Hunter Biden's laptop, and Kamala's laugh.

But the solution is easy: I just make Mexico pay for it.
February 5, 2025 at 3:44 AM
Not surprised the Doomsday Clock has become a joke.

We've had a better alternative all this time anyway: "Is Waffle House fucking open?"

It's hard to take cryptocurrency seriously when you got all these fartcoins popping up, like Hawk Tuah coin.

It's supposed to be universal and decentralized, so there should be only one. Just pick Bitcoin or Ethereum, which seems more advanced.

Quit making new ones! It's diworsification.

You can tell they're genuine non-Americans, or they didn't think it through. If it ever sucks, we're just gonna call it DeepShit.

Closed-minded Americans can't handle that foreign countries/companies can do some things better than our domestic counterparts. Deregulation hypocrites don't allow the free market to be FREE, stifling competition (tariffs; sanctions; ban Huawei, TikTok).

They can't accept some losses, like Vietnam.

Gen Z's ranking system of S to F is dumb. They just changed "A+" to "S."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tier_list

The best rating systems we humans have ever come up with are the obvious 0%-to-100% and the 0-to-5 stars, popularized by Amazon & Google Maps.

That's it. You can't improve upon it.

I asked DeepSeek AI the most important question in all of humanity.

Who is better: Michael Jordan or LeBron James?

Proprietary AIs from big firms spent more resources (time, money, labor, better technology); but open source AI from a side project is beating them all with less.

Look at any form of competition. In the long term, efficiency beats power.
