Next time you hear that, ask them if they know what caused the inflation under Biden. (Hint: one large driver was the 2020 government stimulus checks Trump sent out with his name printed on them.)

That’s not how non-religious works. The non-religious are not a coherent group, defined by a common identity and creed. It’s just a bunch of individuals who look at groups that meet weekly to reinforce their shared delusions and think “Fuck that weird shit.” We don’t sit in some massive hall every Sunday and talk about how much we all don’t believe in fairy tales or discuss plans to evangelize for critical thinking. We just each wake up and do our own thing, individually going about our days without wasting time thinking how best to confirm our lives to the perceived commands of some boring work of fantasy fiction. The non-religious will always be at a distinct organizational disadvantage compared to pretty much any cult.

If I were on Harris’s strategy team, I’d put out a scare tactic ad highlighting one random murder by a white dude in the Midwest, complete with the typical suspenseful music and melodramatic voice-over. It would say something like: ”In 2007, Ashleigh Prettywhitegirl was ruthlessly murdered by Joe Sixpack, a white man from Springfield who was born and raised in the United States. “But Kamala Harris thinks white, natural-born citizens should continue to live freely in the a United States. She says we shouldn’t deport all white people. She says we shouldn’t blame an entire race of people for the crimes of one man. ”And she’s right. ”I’m Kamala Harris and I approve this message.”

Here’s what I don’t get: the numbers don’t add up. MAGAts swear up and down that Biden let millions of illegal inmigrants into the country each year. But there are only something like 20,000 murders annually. Even if all of those murders were committed by illegal immigrants (they were not), are these morons admitting that at least 980,000 illegal immigrants are not murderers? These fuckheads just have zero sense of reality and it’s infuriating how stupid / delusional they are about damned near every issue. None of their policy views or the inane beliefs underpinning them make any fucking sense whatsoever. It’s like 40% of the country is tripping balls on LSD round the clock and no matter how hard you try, they just can’t be pulled back into reality.

True. But I tend to think education is more important than raw intellectual horsepower when it comes to making rational political decisions. Without a basic understanding of history, civics, and economics, even a brilliant voter won’t have the contextual knowledge required to distinguish good policies from bad ones. A lot of political reasoning is of the database search variety. You compare policy proposals to a mental database of things that have been tried in the past and their corresponding outcomes. We don’t resist communism because we run some thought experiment every time we consider it - instead, we conjur up all the examples of communist nations and recoil at what we know are the real world results. The same thing happens with morons who interpret every social welfare program as “socialism.” They instantly associate such policies with historical communist failures. The problem is that they aren’t educated enough to understand the substantive differences between modern European style welfare and Soviet communism. That’s why “otherwise intelligent” is such a common trope in any MAGA encounter story you’ll read here. Too many bright Americans have been spoonfed bullshit propaganda instead of a real education in history and economics. Hell, you see it every day on the Israel thread. Numerous bright and otherwise well-educated left-leaning posters have a huge blind spot when it comes to the history of that conflict, which causes them to spout idiotic shit.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
It would be hilarious if he kept going until he passed both Saban for all-time wins and his brother Watson for all-time losses.

Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo
Mack Brown has exactly one talent in life, and that’s salesmanship. He’s an elite bullshit artist and can recruit enough talent to (mostly) overcome his complete inability to coach football. He’s also a narcissist who would burn a program to the ground rather than watch another coach succeed in his place, imo.

TIL that Mars is literally covered in toxic dust. Even if we could somehow build an atmosphere there, it would be overwhelmed with toxic dust and gas. Mars is extremely cold. It has negligible water and atmosphere. Its soil is toxic to all earthly life. It has no magnetosphere. It gets far less sunlight and has far lower gravity compared to Earth. As far as we know, it contains no life and maybe never has. Mars will never be a realistic bugout destination for mankind. No matter how bad we fuck up this planet, it will always be far cheaper and far more feasible to fix the problems on Earth than flee to Mars.

2024 Random Games thread
Exactly. It was a night game with an incredible comeback and ending. And CU hasn’t had much to celebrate since 2001. That kind of pure joy is what makes this sport so unique and fun to watch. It’s the antithesis of the sterile NFL. I love it.

There was a clear pocket on the recovered fumble. Sanders didn’t step up into it.

They do. It’s such a weird dynamic. Those who most loudly attack trans rights keep getting caught looking at trans porn. Alex Jones is one famous example. The world would be a much better place if these dipshits would grow up, admit they have a kink, realize literally no one gives a shit, and stop acting like Nazi assholes to an entire class of people they feel guilty about finding attractive. Which, to be fair, it sounds like this Robinson dude tried to do at least some of that at one point.- Running Alt-Right Thread of Mockery and Hypocrisy
No, he sucked. Nealon was a huge improvement and then Norm took that role to another level. Miller was always a pompous hack. - 2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.
