Yep. When I say fuck cars, I mean fuck car infrastructure too.

I'm not being idealistic, you are. That's idealism, it's just extremely mediocre. You're suffering from the belief that you can make incremental progress when you can't. For example, if you're American, check your rights with regards to family planning. How's that going?

The problem is that you're not radical enough, and the future now can only be radical, there is no more room for "middle of the road" incrementalism.

Socialism for me, but not for thee is a bad idea. It ends up like some ethno socialism. Some type of national socialism. I'll let you figure out the rest.

How you are wrong

No.

Going into ketosis is well known in science for the increase in autophagy: fat, yes, but also muscles. It's literally a mechanism targeted for use as therapy for certain conditions.

These ketobro clowns used to mention some traditional meat eating populations like the Inuit, but they don't usually anymore. Yeah, those are people who "did keto" for a very long time.

The Inuit literally evolved genetic adaptation to avoid ketosis while consuming a diet high in animal fats, and they still suffer the consequences.

I'm not fucking giving up, these fuckers need to be called out for their dangerous bullshit.

Welcome to the academic precariat.

The "trad wives" (traditionalist / paleoconservative middle class women who believe that their religion is good for women) are looking for a husband in the traditional sense, a type of business owner / patriarch who owns them and provides for them; see: husbandry. That's so that they can produce a lot of offspring while pretending that raising kids in near or full homeschooling is a good thing and she's very successful (culturally).

They're the homologues of incels and traditionalist bros who want to be rich so that they maintain some informal harem. And they deserve each other.

I guess you'll learn the hard way.

Look, if you were using this extension of time to do something better, to build dual power, to corrode the foundation of the system, I'd agree with you. That's the point of extensions, no? To get time. The destination is the same in both scenarios, but you have time in the lesser one. Are you using that time on not-you activity?

I didn't say accelerationism. Accelerationism is a fascist position.

I'm saying that the issue here is people not realizing that,

as an analogy,

Being threatened with a gun to the head vs being threatened with a dart containing deadly radioactive oncogenic particles should be treated the same. The problem is optimism and hope, it's what allows conservatives to play the long game.

And in terms of the strategy you hold dear, understand that capitalists and their fascist pets will bring down the whole biosphere.

Essentially, the ethics of this aren't about "lesser evil", they're about how willing are you to burden the youngest generations and soon to be born with an exponentially more difficult (deadly) challenge, so you can live your life in the "normal" way and keep your head down.

 

Emerging from the Americas and now appearing in Europe, the Philippines, Nigeria and South Africa, today’s narco-evangelists share an increasingly popular strand of Christianity: Pentecostalism. It’s the fastest-growing religion in the world, already with around 650 million followers. A branch of evangelical Protestantism, in recent decades Pentecostalism has become the faith of the world’s poor. In large part, this is because of its particular focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in health and wealth, but there is also the significant lure of the faith’s deep authenticity, rooted in local cultures. Much of this is due to the fact that there is little in the way of authority structures and pastoral oversight. Not only is there no Pentecostal pope, but all you really need to be a preacher is followers.

It's a simple 3 panel web comic. There are 2 characters which are also simple. As the artist name suggests... a circle with nose, ears, eyes, mouth, and some tiny legs.

Character 1 says: "Vaccines are the deadliest poison!"

Character 2 says: "Didn't you say that, by September, everyone who got the vax will be dead?"

Character 1: "Yes, AND?"

Character 2: "I've waited for my death for three Septembers."

Character 1: has an angry, upset and silent expression.

 

Climate change is real. We all know that. But, Jordan Peterson does not. Today, let's go through the science and see if we can convince him.

Hello! My lab is running a compensated research study and crowdsourcing participants.

The purpose of this research is to investigate recently produced cars that may share personally identifying information. These “connected cars” are recently produced cars that include always-on internet connections, collect and transmit data about the vehicle and the driver, and incorporate companion smartphone apps.

If you decide to take part in this study, we will ask you to request your personal information from your vehicle manufacturer, wait for the manufacturer to provide you with your information, review the data to confirm that you are comfortable sharing the data with the research team, and then share the provided data from the vehicle manufacturer with the research team.

A mother has become the first person to be jailed under Australia’s forced marriage laws, for ordering her daughter to wed a man who would later murder the 21-year-old.

Sakina Muhammad Jan, who is in her late 40s, was found guilty of coercing Ruqia Haidari to marry 26-year-old Mohammad Ali Halimi in 2019, in exchange for a small payment.

Six weeks after the nuptials, Halimi killed his new bride - a crime for which he is now serving a life sentence.

On Monday, Jan - who pleaded not guilty - was sentenced to at least a year in jail, for what a judge called the “intolerable pressure” she had placed on her daughter.
