Can’t I just die in my sleep or something? Preferably soon?

Bicon power confirmed across species 💪

Male fish who have sex with other male fish are attractive to the female of the species???

Any evidence that doesn’t fit my assertion is immediately rejected

Cities, Peasants, and Food in Classical Antiquity. It’s a bit dated, and honestly drier and more data-oriented than I was hoping.

France and Italy are stalling at committing to specific financial volumes, said diplomats, who were granted anonymity to discuss closed-door conversations.

Penny-wise and pound-foolish. Dipshits.

It’s the chemicals in the water

I mean, Christendom was aggressive towards the Norse since even before the Viking Age, I wouldn’t say this is some unprovoked form of aggression against the innocent Christians. Just that those monasteries and churches are a really soft underbelly with great ROI for an enterprising raider.

jesus christ how horrifying

None that I’m aware of recently, this is more humor on the historical or abstract tendency of MLs to disdain other leftists for various heresies and then, all of a sudden, insist on “OUR victory, comrade” and attempt to steer a coalition they had no part in helping when other leftists have success.

Makes as much sense as “I tried email, but it seems to be just Tankies who use it”

Email isn’t really community oriented.

I love (/s) that they’re going all-in on normalizing Trump too. What selfless heroes of the proletariat.

The dipshits will continue to vote GOP, don’t worry.

I would say the fuck-up is much broader than that, tbf. Checks and balances have been borked for… quite some time now. The GOP ignored checks and balances because the Dems were too chickenshit to stop them (or, if one is feeling generous, because the crybully tactics of the GOP would have resulted in backlash against the Dems by the ‘independents’ who swing elections).

Snooggums is right that systems fail when they’re ignored - even the best-structured system must have a society which is cultivated to value and perpetuate it. If not, all the well-laid out rules in the world won’t save it.

Socialism is incompatible with democracy and freedom. That’s a fact proven over and over again throughout history.

Soviet systems are incompatible with democracy and freedom. “Socialism” is an extremely broad term.

NOW CRANK ME OFF

What about your singing animal friends, and your singing LSD lab?

For now we do.

More generally, I meant simply that government regulation is proven as a workable solution, conceptually, to restrain third-parties. The only remaining questions are tied up in ‘how to regulate the details’ and ‘how to maintain the regulatory body’, both of which we are currently experiencing… deep imperfections in the current implementation.

So, Germany wanted (and did) to send Lenin to Russia. Their pizza box, looking promising and exciting!

But after sending Lenin to Russia, rather than the results (opening the box) of “Destabilized Russia” they were hoping for, they got something more along the lines of “Communist-aligned Russia”, which they did not want, and which foisted upon them a defeat in the next World War, which itself resulted in the occupation of their capital and the construction of the Berlin Wall; likewise both of which they did not want.
