Barro's Cave is the cave that people in *name country you think is "backwards"* are *supposed* to live in.

The fallacy of the Barronic Ideal

My apologies @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social I agree with you then! I read you as agreeing with what Samaras said, which was at best ambiguous (which with Kos Samaras often equates to endorsement)

The word is lie, three months from the release of the report Barnaby quotes the $9tn figure as a "cost". It's not a cost, it never was.

He had three months and multiple opportunities to read and be told that it wasn't a cost.

He. Lied.

It. Is. A. Lie.

Stop being cowards and call it what it is.

Day 1. "Abolish Net Zero", "Abolish the Treaty".

So what exact cue did they take other than off-label teal branding? Because the policy agenda hasn't shifted an inch.

Please...please no...please?

The dog did indeed get up, mission accomplished.

There was also an answer supplied to your question, but sure posting is definitely about doing 30 second stand-up gigs to an audience of one and not talking about stuff.

Arguably because of the same barrier that lead to getting any automated feeder in the first place, absolute crushing poverty in time and available cognitive capacity not consumed in the insanity of participation in the modern labour market.

But then how can we monetise the cloud service and have the mythic dream of passive income (but only for corporations!)

Incidentally in checking facts about Joanne, it turns out she is a member of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, presumably because her husband is a doctor? She has no medical training, which is usually a requirement to join.

That seems...bad, and not a thing that should be?

...We pray to a god we know must be there, otherwise why pray at all?

...Why would they do something *so crazy* as to create a *shared category* of gender for men and women that implies the ability to transition between them? They are Doubting Thomas', fooled by the evidence of their foolish eyes! We transvestigate to prove what we already know. ...

It does this by making any use of language that doesn't affirm that "fact" into part of a conspiracy to *deny* that "fact". It *has* to be true because The Pokémon Company created the Unknown Gender in 1999 as part of the conspiracy to deny the truth. ...

To bring this all back to Voltorb, the transvestigation going on here is a very necessary act (for the TERFollower) of something like religious belief, because it sustains the view of the innateness of the "man-nature" and "woman-nature" and separateness of humans in how we have these properties.

Conspiracy theorism is the next best thing to an enduring religious worldview, and acts very similarly, which was the insight of the Discordians. It's the only safe refuge of the TERF given all the established conditions.

...which the "trans-exclusionary" part of the equation fundamentally cannot accept. Founding your own religion (Twitter cults don't count) is not something that any of these guys can do because they have nothing beyond 'become the TERF' to offer anyone, they're otherwise incoherent.

But the core contradiction between 'TE' and 'RF' comes to the fore here. Existing religions of the kind of normalcy that would allow you to still call yourself a "radical feminist" and publicly talk as a believer without sanction will also expect you to recognise the humanity of transpeople...
