What you’re being distracted from is the fact that rape and sexual assault, especially of children is normal and accepted in our society. You may be confused by all the hate and demonetization pedophiles get, but like all rape, the status of the perpetrator matters most.

Until 1971, married men were immune from charges of raping their wives. And several States protected them after that. For every 100 rapes reported to the police, only 18 charges will be filed ¹. And of course their are incompetent pigs and timid prosecutors. But it’s also the public at large who won’t convict rapists. (because nobody believes women)

Epstein wasn’t hiding anything. And all those people around him knew what he was up to.

But forget about Epstein. What powerful men are snatching teenagers off the street today? Nobody cares.

The Epstein scandal is about embarrassing powerful men. Nobody gives a shit about raped little girls.

1. Here is a reference to that figure, but for some reason, the referenced study isn’t on the DOJ’s website anymore.

Another sacrifice to the god of guns.

Every time something like this happens, gunbrains will explain why it’s the result of stupidity. But that’s just copeum because they need to believe that their choices aren’t putting their families at risk.

The fine print is worse. If you cancel, you owe a fee equal to the rental price for the remainder of the year.

SKorea, just like Japan doesn’t have a birth rate problem, they have a racism problem. Their ethnostate immigration policies make Donald Trump look like Angela Merkel.

I like to use a VPN while shopping. Especially for airline tickets. I don’t log into anything until I’m ready to buy.

fuck that, I’ma dual boot and bounce.

Prince Andrew is still more popular than Megan Markle.

America isn’t the only country that hates black people more than pedophiles.

Who you gonna shoot? I’m serious. Stalin was a bankrobber. Haitians drove Napoleon’s army into the sea with machetes. The Black Panthers took several pigs off roll-call. What’s your plan, revolutionary?

The only thing “taking the 5th” implies is intelligence.

Ya know the 5th is the one so they can’t coerce you to confession (with torture)? I think it’s a good one.

Advertising adds cost but no value. Advertising, along with profit are the largest capitalist inefficiencies.

The tragedy of a potential customer being ignorant of a product is something must learn to cope with…somehow.

You forgot the part where Mulder losses his gun. It’s a plot point in like half the episodes.

I read once that a person could survive indefinitely on potatoes and milk.

Ronald Reagan had the best ‘in soviet Russia’ jokes.

Here is one paraphrased from memory:

A man in Moscow goes to the car dealership to buy a new car. After everything is arranged, the dealer tells comrade that his car will be delivered in 9 months. The man asks, in the morning, or the afternoon?

Why do you care comrade? It’s 9 months from now. Well, the man says, the plumber is coming in the morning.

This is interesting, but I’ve grown suspicious of the Econ101 idea that everything is explained by the incentives imposed on rational actors.

Murder and rape rates has fallen along with property crime as the article points out. But nationwide murder clearance rate is like 50% and the rape numbers are much worse than that. So somehow I don’t think the proximate cause of crime reduction is the due to the diligence of pigs.

Resource extraction has similar problems be it cobalt or oil. There is one big difference you can’t ignore. That is cobalt and other resource minerals are being made into durable goods that last for decades and then can be recycled. Oil is perpetual extraction forever because we simply burn and destroy it.

Right now, lead acid car batteries have a 90+% closed loop supply chain because 90+% of new batteries are made of old batteries. There is no reason why cobalt and lithium can’t achieve something similar. One of the reasons EV batteries have not created a recycling industry is because most of the batteries installed are still well within their service life.

Expanding hydrocarbon use expands hydrocarbon extraction. The extraction of minerals for batteries will go down the more popular they become.

If Gervais is acting dumb, then he’s brilliant. But why does he “act” the same way, no matter if it’s a TV role, Presenter on an awards show, or just him hanging out on a Podcast or something.

Is he like a professional wrestler doing Kayfabe?

What is even the difference between a stupid man and a clever man method acting an idiot?

Really? because it’s the dumbass conspiracy shit that’s everywhere. Not coordinated, just critical mass of stupidity.

What about the anti-theist and leftist public intellectuals like Dawkins, Kraus, and Chomsky who turned out to be somewhere between anti-feminist and full-blown sex-offender? Even NDTyson has some pretty credible accusations for those who remember. Dennett seemed like the only one of the “Four Horseman” who could be considered a decent human being, but nope… he’s flying the Lolita Express.

But nobody has fallen farther than Richard Dawkins. Fame did to Dawkins what the One Ring did to Smeagol.

To me, Smith will always be a rapper first. He was right: parents just don’t understand.

This is an article because it couldn’t fit on a motivational poster.
