Nature is so fucking WEEEEIRD

Whatever this dumb shit is, is a reaction to that. As usual, they project their own shortcomings on their enemies.

In any case, what it comes down to is basic empathy and morality. If you care for others, you tend to vote left. If you care for only yourself and your self-interests, you vote right. There is no debating that, it's stated right there in the fucking ideology.

I genuinely had this realization today, a few hours ago.

I was like... Shit just keeps getting worse, and worse, and worse, and fucking worse.

So in a couple of years, as shit as I feel about shit right now, I'm gonna look back at this moment all nostalgic like.

Ackshually it's a file

Looking at you, leftymemes

ugh

groupthink central, do NOT divert an inch from the state sanctioned opinions, OR ELSE

This is top shelf meme. None of that cheap stuff!

This makes me nauseous because of the reality.

Hahaha let's laugh about this illegal imperial war and normalize it like it's no big deal

So let me get this straight- you are aiding Putin, Putin is aiding Iran, and you are attacking Iran.

69 - the most equal position.

"Oh my god, this man is going to die! Is anyone here a doctor??"

"I’m a doctor!"

"He’s having a heart attack!"

"I’m a doctor of philosophy."

"Oh my god he is going to die!!!"

"...We’re all going to die."

The biggest selling point of capitalism is innovation.

That's why nothing was ever invented before capitalism.

Which makes some wonder how capitalism was invented.

But they are communists and should be shot for questioning the wisdom of the system.

Let's normalize illegal imperial wars for profit and oil without congressional approval, because who likes THAT guy amirite

"What if I rape you?"

"NO!"

"What if I rape you just a little bit?"

"NO!"

"What if I just rape your little toe, then, surely you won't mind?"

"NO!"

"Ok what if I just rape your little toe nail? Be reasonable!"

"NO!"

"Ok, but what about if I just rape part of your little toe nail? It's to protect you from pedophiles, after all, surely you don't want to protect pedophiles are you?"

"I mean..."

"RAPE IT IS!"

"Oh shit not this again!" said Oh Shit Not This Again Man.

"You already said that." said You Already Said That Man.

In May 2021, after the project was acquired by Muse Group,[58] there was a draft proposal to add opt-in telemetry to the code to record application usage. Some users responded negatively, with accusations of turning Audacity into spyware.[59] The company reversed course, falling back to error/crash reporting and optional update checking instead.[60] Another controversy in July 2021[61] resulted from a change to the privacy policy which said that although personal data was stored on servers in the European Economic Area, the program would "occasionally [be] required to share your personal data with our main office in Russia and our external counsel in the USA".[62] That July, the Audacity team apologized for the changes to the privacy policy and removed mention of the data storage provision which was added "out of an abundance of caution".[61]

Awwww... :(

Hey at least they removed mentioning it in the TOS!

Yeyyy!... :)

The number of women in my environment who do this to me is fucking ridiculous.

One of my favorite archaeology stories comes from a Reddit AMA waaay back over a decade ago, there was this girl who was on an archaeological expedition somewhere in the Middle East and they had unearthed a bunch of ancient honey jars. Honey, famously, never goes bad, and their professor said that if anyone wanted to try some, they could. Most didn't, but she did- lo and behold, tasted very much like normal honey.

Months later when they were back in the states they had performed some tests on the honey and realized that these jars had originally contained stillborn fetuses, a now known practice, which had dissolved into the honey over the millennia. So she had eaten human fetus honey.

I know it sounds made up but she was a legit archaeologist and could back it up with names and dates and shit, though I'm hazy on the details.
