I think that itâs pretty important as a culture to offer some sort of framework for people who held bad and even abhorrent views to change their minds and rejoin what used to be called âpolite society.â At the same time, I think thereâs a push and pull and you have to work within the framework and engage honestly. I kind of reject the idea that asking hard questions about his SS tattoo is some sort of betrayal. Heâs running for office and first you have to win a primary. His opponents are supposed to ask about things like Nazi tattoos and they are supposed to criticize him. Iâm getting flashback to the Bernie bros who had this weirdly righteous anger at the D candidates who had the audacity to run against him and get more votes. âI can maybe overlook the giant Nazi tattoo but itâs hard for me to get past that heâs a GWOT vetâ is a wild and frankly jarring take. A stark reminder that there remains a yawning gulf between the leftist flank and the normal people you need to win elections.

At first I thought this was another boring grumpy animal in a sailor hat. But in a snow hatâ- you son of a bitch! Iâm back in!

My best guess is thereâs a shortfall in some multiyear account that they are raiding and crafted this as a fig lead for congressional GOP and to make him look beneficent to the enlisted ranks.

Can confidently say: this is the most fucked up and dangerous thing that has happened yet.

I donât know if the jury is out on the Internet. I think it has made America worse in a lot of ways: I think itâs played a big role in declining real standards of living for the average American, increased social polarization, increased social isolation, and more. I donât think the marginal conveniences it brings to my day to day outweigh that. I think our society was objectively healthier in the late 1990s before broad consumer adoption. Maybe the Insta thots do make it worth it. -
I canât believe Iâm about to do this. Itâs not âreally fucking goodâ but it (was) better than most other regional/national chains or buffets. This is all tempered by the fact I havenât been in one for maybe 20 years so ymmv. Peter Piper used actual pizza ovens with rotating pizza stones that the pizzas sat on. Most chains use conveyer style ovens, the pizza goes through either in a pan or directly on the belt. Either way: the surface area and direct heat in a real oven will crisp and blister the crust while conveyer pizza is going to be sort of limp and sometimes soggy like she always complains about. A quick google shows that at least some Piper locations use the real ovens. And they will absolutely give a nicer, crispier crust with more similarities to a NY pie, although the rest of the dough is a bit different. I also seem to recall their sauce being tangier and less sweet than Pizza Hut or Dominoes or the like which I prefer. For toppings and cheese: who are we kidding itâs all the same shit. None of the places in this price point are using artisanal meat or fresh mozzarella or imported San Marzano tomatoes theu simmer in house. At the buffet or carry out price point it was a notch above unless you have a local joint that does slices and uses a real oven. But you have to subject yourself to the arcade noise.

The sanctions on the oil majors are really big. They arenât going to completely suffocate Rosneft and Lukoil (the two largest Russian oil companies) but they will make buying Russian oil harder and more expensive; and Russia will have to eat that cost because India and China wonât. More importantly itâs a signal that we have lost patience and a cue for the more aggressive Europeans to move out on other optionsâ Russian sovereign assets scheme? It tells the Hungarians and the Slovaks that they canât cover their bullshit with MAGA. Donât get twisted, this is the most significant U.S. move taken against Russia in the sanctions space. The messaging of âceasefire nowâ is good, as good as it can get. Itâs the formulation the Russians have really been resisting. And it bears repeating: this could have been done earlier. Biden could have done it. Nonsensical to wait this long. Bessent is quietly a really strong Ukraine ally navigating a minefield around this. In this case- credit to him. -
The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread
956 Worldwide replied to Horn Dog's topic in Cloak Room
Gar have different behavior. They tend to float along at the surface or hang out around or near deeper water or under vegetation. They donât like to hide under logs and riverbank burrows like catfish. I donât think thereâs ever been a case of a gar biting a human that wasnât trying to handle it somehow. -

I got 45 on the quiz. But while I have hung out with people who smoke cigarettes, theyâre all European and I think that would knock off like 10 points or so if it was weighted. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]
956 Worldwide replied to MaybeACoordinator's topic in Daily Texan
Conceded, it is in fact dork shit and not nerd shit. Even worse, this is insect person mentality. Has there ever been a worse rebrand than the Bay Area from counter-culture capital to striver bug-man capital. The one symbolized free coolness you aspired to attain; the second soul-crushing lameness you cannot escape. -

Per public reporting Paul Ingrassia is 30 years old. While being a Nazi is bad enough, we must also confront the possibility that this is a distraction from his actual identity as the 500 year old undead Transylvanian minor nobleman Orlok, the Nosferatu.

Iâm more pointing at the fact that mainstream center-leftism (of the âin this house we believeâ variety) did indeed achieve almost total institutional domination of the security sector aside from maybe the enlisted ranks and actual uniform wearing LEO. Donald Trump wasnât directionally wrong in targeting them for an ideological purge, but they still catch strays from the left flank. The CIA does really fucking hate Israel but thatâs coming from a different place than either the Nazis or the BDS man on the streets.

Point of order, giant Nazi tattoos on potential recruits have long been more of a giant problem than an asset for the CIA.

Iâve often thought about this. A person who explodes in a fit of anger and kills a spouseâs affair partner presents almost no risk to strangers and people outside their intimate circle (and most murders take place because of interpersonal beefs). A mafia goon presents very high risk to a very small cross section of society and practically none to people outside it. Practically speaking, someone with string of assaults and muggings presents the most headaches and consequences for the largest group of people and heâs the one most likely to be unconfined and able to go about his work. A big part of this is that we are slowly adapting a medieval instrument (common law) to a society that bears no resemblance to the one that created it. @TwiceHorn talks about bail a lot and thatâs a good example. The bail system was designed so that John, accused of making off with his neighborâs hog, is able to go home and work the field until a judge can come through in the next quarter and hear his case. The surety is there to make sure John doesnât flee to his cousinâs thatch hut on the next estate and waste the bailiffâs time to go fetch him back. It was never designed for John, who has been arrested 12 times in two years for armed carjackings and who is planning another one. Itâs just not the same problem at all. It also doesnât look at the context of where modern approaches to crime and policing arose (the answer is always Victorian England). What was the cumulative effect of generations of rapid executions of serious criminals and the shipment of generations of petty criminals to colonies as a release valve on the attitudes and habits of population they were policing? I think itâs fair to say âsignificant.â My area is Russia and the Soviet Union and its enlightening to see how they really attempted a whole-scale reconstruction of society and its institutions, in a way thatâs rarely tried. Criminal Justice was no differentâ I mean, the Soviets did abolish the âcapitalistâ police. They soon recreated them under the âmilitiaâ name. Also super interestingâ the idea was that bringing the peasants in from the fields and putting them in cities and factories would raise their culture and habits. Theyâd go to reading clubs and the theatre instead of creating problems in the village. Socialism would solve most crime, because criminals were created by capitalism and the old social order. It didnât quite work that way for a lot of reasons and in fact all the newly urbanized peasants created more problems in concentration than they did in the countryside. So the Soviets created the crime of âhooliganismâ to tighten the screws on the type of urban disorder thatâs really familiar to us: loafing, loitering, bothering passersby, petty crime, drunkenness, turnstile jumping, etc and ruthlessly enforced it. And the definition shifted as needed: hooliganism also became associated with spousal abuse or child neglect. And this all sort of worked for a bit, Soviet cities were safer and more orderly than many Western ones of similar sizes, if dingier and lifeless. Most former Soviets in the 1990s cited the collapse of aggressive enforcement and state attention to this sort of blight as one of their primary gripes with âcapitalism,â and Putinâs mopping up of gopnik culture is key to his enduring popularity. So anyway, thatâs a long diatribe but my point is that people get frustrated when institutions donât adapt rapidly enough to seismic cultural changes. And even when people make attempts to totally press reset, a lot of the more utopian approaches become less viable and more contingent on context that they are universal.

Back to the specific from theoretical: this dude is a school employee and was filming the middle school boys in the locker room for sexual gratification. I mean, what are jails for? Anyone here really want to raise their hand and say âyeah, itâs cool for him to come to my culdesac after he gets out.â

Those particular named vessels had been requisitioned into IJA/IJN service. And in the case of the first one, was being used to bring technicians and administrators to run illegally conquered territories. Would sort of be like the Ukrainians shooting down an Aeroflot charter that the Russian Aerospace Forces were using to fly occupation authorities into Mariupol.

Things are pretty gotdam grim when we canât easily cast aside the bonehead with an accidental SS tattoo because otherwise who will appeal to the Rogan chucklefucks. Whatever the failings of establishment gatekeeping, it seems its absence is significantly worse. Maine elections should be âCountry Club Republican with a sailboatâ versus âNot a hippie anymore Democrat (also has a sailboat).â

The White House,Capitol, and Supreme Court are specifically exempt from the National Historic Preservation Act. Presumably to streamline needed repairs, upgrades, security to the three most important federal government buildings. A non-binding commission reviews major changes. So essentially youâre correct: he doesnât need permission because no one imagined a POTUS might want to fuck up the White House. Our universe has no meaning to MAGA.

âI got drunk on shore leave in Croatiaâ is a plausible explanation for an accidental SS Totenakmpf SS tattoo. Not having covered it up before a senate run many years later is incredibly dumbshit behavior if thatâs what youâre rolling with. One must be simply be prepared that political enemies might use a massive SS tattoo against you.
-
Independent of this specific tattoo: if there is ever a debate over the relative Nazi-ness of a tattoo, tchotchke, or accoutrement; âI got it in Croatiaâ is almost never exculpatory or mitigating.
