    I'm not sure I agree that this is political suicide for her.  I feel like almost everyone who's outraged about this never would've voted for her anyway. 

    Trump will catch wind of the negative publicity and dump her like a dog.

    And I have some Republican family members who are pissed about this. Apparently, in their world, killing dogs like that is a sign of somebody who can’t handle a crisis because if she knew hat she was doing, the dog would have been fine/trained. Me asking them what if was just because she wanted to kill a dog was not well received. 

    I’m guessing  she still feels guilty  at killing it all those years ago, and was hoping she’d get some sympathy and somebody telling her she did the right thing.

    Most of us would get fired from our jobs if we did the equivalent of publishing a national poll that showed Trump winning women.

    It’s absurd that they are asking us to take shit like that seriously.

    They just showed a poll on MSNBC that said half of republicans think Trump did nothing wrong re: the 2020 election.

    The people they are polling are dumb enough to answer phone calls from people they don’t know.

    Realistically they can field 5x that?

    It depends what you mean by realistically. They have an estimated male population between 15-64 of 48 million so yeah, they can find more people to throw to the meat grinder, but in reality, the ones willing or even capable of fighting are far far less. Also, eventually the population revolts after so many people are killed for dumb reasons. At the same time, Russians do like suffering. 

    They are doing everything they can to avoid mass conscription in the largest cities. They were emptying out prisons, so they’ve got some problems.  They will run out of minorities and rurals to send off to slaughter at some point.

    Arrest records show that Grant Adam Miller was booked just before 10 p.m. on Thursday. 

    The victim's mother called the police about a domestic violence incident that happened on Tuesday, according to a police report.

    Quote

    The victim told officers Miller kicked her with both feet after they got into an argument, causing her to hit a dresser, police said. 

    Police said the victim also said Miller grabbed and pushed her during the confrontation, which caused bruising to both of her arms, legs, and left hand.

    And a circus is exactly where Tulsa city councilor Grant Miller has found himself after the Oklahoma Board of Bar Examiners denied his admission to the bar after taking testimony from several individuals, including the the mayor who "had concerns about whether Applicant Miller had good moral character and due respect for the law."

    Do you think you have good moral character? "Of course I have good moral character. My whole life is a testament to that. I've served in the military, I've served as a police officer," said Miller.

    Quote

    Councilors Bellis, Decter Wright, and Hall-Harper also, "all testified Applicant Miller does not have good moral character, respect for the law, or fitness to practice law." And that, "None of the reasons relied upon by these witnesses were based on political positions of Applicant Miller."

    The Bar cited examples of the mayor's testimony such as "spread misinformation about the Improve Our Tulsa initiative," and Miller, "using his position as a city council member to bully and intimidate civil servants..."

    I graduated high school in 1998, and while initially pr0n was mostly jpg, by 2001 video was plentiful and easy to get.

    Must have been nice not having to steal magazines from parents or convenience stores, or downloading a single GIF for an hour and then having it fuck up at the last minute.

    In early manosphere spaces the message was for dudes to shut the fuck up, work out, get a job, and become a man. I have no idea when it became just losers validating themselves. Somewhere along the way people forgot how to become adults.

    I think some aspects of the whole nerd culture thing are a problem.  Basically you don’t have to leave your toys behind.  I think the helicopter parenting thing of GenX has hurt as well.  Imagine letting 10-12 year-olds running wild until sunset these days. We learned a lot of interpersonal skills and self confidence through that.

    I completely agree.  

    I'm curious on the cross tabs on this virginity thing.  How many of the virgins never went to college?  My guess is that it's a lot.  They either didn't go or went and washed out and as a result of both, their financial future is bleak and as a result of that, they're not meeting girls.

    I bet the numbers are higher, given that many people won’t admit to being a virgin.  

    I didn’t get as much out of the Army as some people, but I will say that basic training did a number on making me stop being self-conscious, both in terms of being naked for the whole world to see at times, but also having to grow a thick skin, given how much shit we gave each other over how we looked, where we were from, how we talked, what our girlfriends/wives looked like, etc..  I sometimes think some of these incels could use an experience like that, but then again it might just make many of them double down on withdrawing into themselves.

    At the Young Conservatives of Texas’ April 19 convention in Dallas, Texas Governor Greg Abbott called for an “end” to gender non-conforming behavior by teachers, according to audio released to KXAN by Texas Observer reporter Steven Monacelli.

    During Abbott’s keynote speech, the Governor brought up a Lewisville ISD teacher who went viral online after wearing a pink dress as a “Spirit Day” costume. “In Lewisville, Texas… just a month ago, they had a high school teacher, who is a man, who would go to school dressed as a woman in a dress, high heels and makeup,” said Abbott at the conference. “The person… is trying to normalize that this behavior is ok! It’s not ok!”

    Quote

    He added that “this behavior” is what he wants to “end in the state of Texas,” and said that he feels it would be distracting for students.

    According to reporting by KXAS, Hebron High School students had asked their teacher to wear the costume for a February spirit day event. In a statement, the teacher said he resigned to remove attention from the school after “hateful comments” online. Lewisville ISD told KXAS that the teacher didn’t violate any school policies.  Abbott did not define that behavior — attire that doesn’t meet the Governor’s opinions about gender, or more broadly LGBTQ+ teachers. KXAN asked the Governor’s Office for clarification, but has not yet received a response.
