Dem Strategeries For Mass Cult Reprogramming
956 Worldwide replied to Al Bundy's Napoleon Hand's topic in Cloak Room
Hard disagree. A big reason we are where we are is because Dems didn’t challenge the constant GOP “waste, fraud and abuse” gibberish which attempts to shift the blame for government spending from the Congress that allocates funds onto apolitical federal employees who are tasked with spending it. FWIW, the current crop of GOP crazies are on the audit bandwagon already and (surprise) it turns out it was DEI all along. Want to reduce the Pentagon (or any other agency) budget? Decide what you want it to stop doing or clarify exactly where the waste/fraud/abuse is rather than accepting it as a given. The Pentagon struggles with an audit because it is a $1T global enterprise that by design blows up its inventory or gives it to 20 somethings to take care of. This is not a denial of individual and serious waste or fraud cases but it is a firm rebuttal of the existence of a systematic “gubmint is stealing from us” trapdoor that will always favor GOP charlatans. -

I think most people use “centrist” or “the middle” as shorthand for non-partisan/non-ideological/pragmatist. That’s not to say they have a lack of principals but rather that they view the principles as more restrictive rather than prescriptive— a foundation that needs to be firm to build on as opposed to an ideological blueprint that has no room for deviation or adjustment in response to the real world. -
Who will be the first Congress member to talk about the difference between pedophilia and ephebophilia on the floor and why will it be Paul Gosar?

Apple fritters are a fantastic choice, too. My favorite are at Jack N Jill, mostly a West Texas thing. Here’s something that’s hot garbage: Dunkin. Their donuts are shit. -

I can slam those hot Kristy Kreme glazed but they get pretty mediocre after even a bit of cooling. The reality is that a cake donut is superior with coffee as a breakfast and Shipley is better at that. Sneaky good: HEB sour cream donut. -
Dem Strategeries For Mass Cult Reprogramming

I’ll also add that when all politics becomes national rather than local, that is going to harm the party trying to appeal to the broadest base under our system. The GOP used to try and be a big tent party but it ditched that. It is baked into our system that it pays off, relatively, to win more square miles. The GOP realized that winning Texas by .5 percent is more valuable than winning New York by 30 percent when it comes to electoral college math. And it’s easier to build a red wallof rural white voters than it is to build a blue wall of complicated competing ethnic and social blocs, especially when the most provocative voices are accessible even when they are the most hyper-local. -

I am hearing both of you here, even as I am more naturally a basic bitch centrist. I feel obligated to say here that the Democrats won more votes for President than the GOP in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020. And in 2000 they likely ACTUALLY won the EC as well. The GOP won more votes in 2004 and 2024. Most Americans respond to kitchen table issues, most of the time. The issue here is that Dems play by norms and bipartisanship and good governance when in power and when they lose. The GOP wins through hyper partisan judges, by out street fighting the Dems in state legislatures, and by counting on Dems to be cautious with prosecutions. The GOP does neither. Getting out of that cycle is complicated because you’re asking the Dems to destroy the village in order to save it. -
Nope…they don’t. There’s a very small handful (think maybe a dozen) who can do that, and it’s far fewer now after Russia invaded Ukraine and came under heavy sanction. The ones that do are or were playing for a money laundering/sanctions evasion organization or for the vanity project of very wealthy men who often are taking money from a huge men’s soccer team. They are in leagues with no salary cap. Most women playing overseas are making lower salaries and making money off of cost of living. There’s no real conspiracy to underpay women: women’s basketball has not been a particularly profitable venture with a large fan base anywhere in the world. The WNBA owners would love to have a product that drew that revenue and could pay those salaries. The exciting thing about the WNBA is that it is legitimately poised to change that soon. The challenging thing about the WNBA is that is hasn’t yet.

I live in a large city and take public transport most days, and it is one that has its fair share of “mental health” problems on the streets. One thing that is striking is how rarely the people suffering from mental health issues choose to harass healthy adult men.

The guy had an extensive criminal background including mutilation of corpses. https://www.wxyz.com/news/local-news/investigations/traverse-city-stabbing-suspect-had-decades-long-mental-health-struggles-criminal-history Recidivism is one of those things that is absolutely radicalizing. A small amount of people account for an insane amount of overall crime. For example, in NYC just over 300 people accounted for 1/3 of shoplifting arrests (over 6000) in 2023. “Three strikes laws” have gotten a fairly bad rap but we could implement like an 8 strike law and achieve a similar effect of a drop in crime. I would absolutely vote for a ballot initiative to incarcerate each of those 300 people for life if I was a New Yorker. We should focus on rehab and release only for people with 1-2 offenses. Different prisons, different interventions, everything. Over five should mean you’re gone forever.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Randy Yin from China being excited over Cybertruck boxes and that actress hammers home my anecdotal observations on Tesla drivers: 1. Liberal leaning white people (embarrassed, older model, and often have a bumper sticker apologizing). 2. East Asian upper middle class (fewer and fewer of them, they realize it’s embarrassing). 3. Indians working in tech or finance or both or wishing they did. 4. White guy who films videos with sunglasses on (Cybertruck only). -

An increase in the valuation of an asset doesn’t mean you have funds to pay people. Example: I buy a painting from an unknown artist for 1,000 at an estate sale. I take the painting to an appraiser five years later and it turns out it’s an old master’s long lost worth and values it at 3 million. I have a 3 million dollar asset but that in no way means I have cash on hand to live large unless I take it to auction or use it as collateral for a loan. I read that the owners of the Liberty basically bought it at a fire sale as a distressed asset. It’s now a valuable asset but that doesn’t mean it’s turning a profit that can actually be used. Expansion payments are not income to a franchise, they are intended to off-set a dilution in future revenue sharing.

A good 75 percent of DJT appointments are just Caligula appointing his horse consul. It’s all just rubbing the Senate’s nose in it.

Spill the Tea: Fiasco for “Safety in Dating” App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
The huge pitfall here is the requirement that the reporter be honest and unbiased while using the Internet. Should also point out that the user verification process of selfies and DL is nothing close to bulletproof. It almost certainly illegal under EU data protection and privacy laws (and isnt available there). -
Spill the Tea: Fiasco for “Safety in Dating” App
956 Worldwide replied to 956 Worldwide's topic in Daily Texan
South Korea has like a .72 total fertility rate and is basically in relationship free-fall. I think it’s the anonymous part and no way to respond that gets me. Some of the comments on the site is stuff like “he took me on a cheap date, waste of time” or “pretended to be interested but didn’t ask me out a second time.” That stuff is just dating pitfalls. You should have to put your name to stuff like that. I can see anonymous if it’s actually a safety thing. -
I just became aware of the app itself and now today I’m seeing a catastrophic security breach. TLDR: There is a “woman only” app that allows women to upload photos of men, reverse image search and run background checks, and share any “red flags” or “green flags” anonymously. It suffered a security breach and now there are tons of user selfies and PII of the women on 4chan. https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/tea-app-breach-exposes-72000-selfies-id-photos-and-other-user-images/ My thoughts here are pretty mixed. No one should have their data stolen and put on 4Chan. I see the app itself as incredibly morally questionable. It promises that men are not allowed on the site, cannot search for what is there about them, and allows users to anonymously share information about men they have dated. I have zero qualms about an easy way to search public databases and return law enforcement info, restraining orders, etc. I’m a little less comfortable with allowing anonymous allegations of genuinely threatening behavior or dangerous behavior with no record— stalking, domestic violence, threats, etc. Or verified catfishes or scammers. I see it as a gross violation of basic privacy to allow people to anonymously share their gripes about a date or ex with no verification and no way for the individual to reclama or even know what is being said about them. And I think that the relationship between the sexes is cooked at this point. Basically open hostilities. We are going the way of South Korea.

I’m uninterested in how women would compare to men. The same level of uninterested I am in Usyk vs Inoue in boxing; we divide athletes based on things like weight and body capabilities for a reason. The fact that Inoue gets mauled by Usyk in no way changes my respect and appreciation for what the smaller fighter can do. What CC has shown is not that WNBA players can play with men. She’s shown that the WNBA can offer a fast, attractive, coordinated and athletic style of play that is fun to watch and skillful. Swimming is not a sport where men and women are particularly close. The fastest man is over 2 seconds faster in the sprint 50 and that is an eternity. In the 800, the men are close to 40 seconds faster— the percentage gap has dropped but for perspective, the men are getting up and on the deck by the time the fastest woman has started the last length. In both swimming and running the women do overtake the men at ultra long distances that aren’t part of the Olympics events.

These Jubilee 1 vs 20 social discussion videos
956 Worldwide replied to Derka's topic in Daily Texan
I gotta say here that agreeing to debate 20 MAGA types and then being surprised to find a Nazi among them might be the dumbest statement to come out of this. Especially if you ever watched any of these dogshit videos.
