Journalist, sometimes. In Ukraine, living the air raid life.
It's the also the kind of lie one tells when they have an out and out personality disorder.

Like this is shocking in its pathology.

It's a Nazi thing, and Nazi adjacent, like everything else Jew obsessed.

Jews invented communism!

Jewish overrepresentation in revolutionary movements was obviously because the ruling classes were virulently anti-Semitic.

But the John Birch society never let that ruin a good jew-spiracy.

It's like getting upset that people are being unfair to Jeffrey Dahmer by mentioning him in the same breath as Ted Bundy, just because Bundy had a higher body count.

Christ.

When you're defending a person from being wrongly coddled by the NYT and think you can deflect most Soviet excess onto Stalin, Yezhov and Beria, make sure Lenin didn't oversee the Red Terror under the VChK.

*They named it that*, to be clear. They gave it that name.

Is "tankie" like... An equivalent to Judeo Bolshevik in your mind?

Cause uh no

Also too thick, and being hammered like they aren't too thick and are little finishing nails

I honestly thought this was a little comedy skit expecting some punchline.

As somebody who's had to do some real makeshift improv DIY with whatever is on hand, you never have absolutely *nothing* of what you need, including skill.

I mean Jesus he's tapping like he's sinking finishing nails.

I did my thesis on that. I waded through so much bilious hatred on the Unicorn Riot discord leaks that were just the corrupted lifeblood of the beatings and shootings and murder.

Good. Fuck em all and fuck em as long as it takes.

The results were great though. You know, on the the part he doesn't know

On one hand polygraphs are pseudoscientific BS. On the other hand these guys believe they work so they're definitely hiding something.

Back in the day, in another life when I considered getting a PhD in psychology, I learned a very important rule:

Sane people worry that they're crazy. That's what makes them sane.

Crazy people know they're sane.

I mean apparently you can 😂

So is your aversion to advertising by some chance borne out of the shame you feel from illiteracy?
November 14, 2025 at 4:07 AM
See the irony is people avoid doing that because it's just a scam by the tire/oil/battery/brake companies.

So of course their car fails long before the cylinders go out-of-round.

Also, really, modern car reliability is more about part availability and cost than it is wear.

It is demonstrably true.

Did you learn that from statistically rigorous independent longitudinal studies you self-funded?

Or did you learn that from it being an advertised feature put together by those who did?

"I own nothing material but my good mattress" I say proudly, admiring my Sealy Posturepedic laid out on the forest floor.

"Sir, you still can't be naked in a national park," the officer replies.

"You are pigs defending the wealth-power dynamic!" I reply sagely as the handcuffs bite into my wrists.

When arguing advertising doesn't work on you, I find it wise to quote one of the most often advertised Toyota features in general and Rav4 features in particular.

Hahahaha holy shit. A fine reminder that satire is grounded in truth and that the truth is nevertheless much funnier.

We understand even that there is a difference between a fourteen year old being sexual with a fifteen year old vs a fifty year old, where that fifty year old is definitely a pedophile, and the teen attraction is adjacent to the primary deviancy.

There was a reason these girls couldn't vote, ffs.

It's not that Epstein and his cohorts like Andrew and Trump chased women who were young, which is kinda creepy but also not criminal and not exploiting the vulnerable as its default statutory position.

"Oh but they had breasts!" -- so does a nine year old going through precocious puberty.
November 14, 2025 at 3:15 AM
The point being that there are clearly adolescents that are still children, where the attraction is power over their vulnerability and not that they're just attractive young adults.

We very clearly understand the difference between these and that adolescence is a transition period between the two.
November 14, 2025 at 3:13 AM
If you really want to define adulthood as "fully developed", you can take a definition of adolescent out to about 24-25, when your prefrontal cortex finishes myelinating and you're at your peak for executive function and judgement -- and many cultures, including ours, do exactly that.
