@fleshsimulator I mean look, if the highway junction has a proper amount of class, we'll claim it as our own.

@fleshsimulator It's absurdly heartwarming seeing how many vicious factions will accept the people they hate so long as they hate the same people too.

@xwanyex It's natural to care more about something when you have "skin in the game". More importantly, you care about it in a rounded, pragmatic way, rather than slamming hard to the side of whatever ideology you're favoring.

@xwanyex Someone can be very pro-social and a jerk, too. It just means they hide their jerkness more. I suspect the voting preferences is less about the "jerk" and more about the "anti-social".

@eigenrobot They have to rescue the President because the still-in-Office Mayor kidnapped him to demand more federal funding.

@wil_da_beast630 ...You want to place bets on how many pro-Islam posts this profile made during the Gaza War?

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 Gotta love how they interpret "I think we've gone too far" as "I want all progress rolled back thousands of years".

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 I've heard @RodeoProfessor argue beavering was actually -much- more important for the economy, given how much it drove mapping out the frontier & thus paved the way for settling the Wild West.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 Is the dark secret that you could do this to basically -any- group, regardless of ethnicity or social status, and that the poor are usually targeted because they're slightly less risky?

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 I know that may sound crazy, but given the amount of straight-up snubbing of detransitioners- many of whom I assume are the same upper middle class types most transgenders come from- I kinda suspect they would've just destroyed anyone who complained regardless of social status.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 Wait... he's saying the official census literally created -more- ethnic groups so some of them could get special benefits, and everyone was surprised this caused explosive friction between the two groups? Even the Communists whose entire schtick is inequality causes violence?

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@romanhelmetguy The problem with authority is way too many of us quickly go nuts with any amount of power. Or slack off. Or both.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@romanhelmetguy The problem with this reasoning is they're causing all the problems NOT because they're the only troublemakers, but because they're the ones with the most power. Topple them and the NEXT 300 will become the top dogs & start causing problems.

@SwipeWright It'll never stop being darkly hilarious that the UK police are locking people up for hate crimes left & right but refusing to lock up immigrant rapists because it'd be bad press for the government.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@SwipeWright The worst part of living in a surveillance state is how worthless it seems to be for stopping actual crime.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 That is, of course, assuming you HAVE to out-monster the monster to survive.

"Be slightly evil" could be useful advice here. There's a whole gradient between "naive" and "sociopath".

@wil_da_beast630 The minority women will be cowed into compliance after they see what was done to the white women.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@JacobAShell The fact it wraps around a corner is the brutal part. Unless you're staring at it straight-on, you lose track of which line's the next one so quickly.

[Mike Lemmer @MikeLemmer]

@wil_da_beast630 I have serious questions about the number of places there where one country has a count 3-140x its neighbor.
