That you have to find out for yourself, that’s the fun of it.

Personally I was still unsure about voting for Kamala, but seeing a cabal of Epstein island sex tourists, the Palpatinesque shuffling corpse that wrecked the middle east, the three junior interns in a trenchcoat currently posing as the sitting president, the supranational network of mindfucking security services tapping all my communications, an endless array of labor stripmining globocorps, and housebroken white nationalists like Richard Spencer and Nick Fuentes all congeal into a Voltronesque blob wearing a crudely drawn smiley face mask and insisting the comically shitposting reality show host is the real threat is all I needed to finally take the coconut pill.

That’s probably closer to what PG thinks tbh. It’s a very atomized way of thinking. I don’t mind holding immigrants to standards I couldn’t meet myself because this is an ongoing project my family has been involved in since the beginning, I don’t think that’s hypocritical, in fact it’s an outgrowth of my personal feelings of duty towards the polis.

@joeybeastmarket 6mg? step that up a bit and you’ll probably get em all

@ReichlinMelnick If the law says there’s no judicial review of these specific actions, then that definitionally sounds lawful.

Let's continue with the AC madness :-)

The main source of confusion in this debate is that when Americans talk about AC, they mean a distributed cooling system (HVAC), which is generally less aggressive.

AC installed in Europe is often based on a single unit that blows in a single direction, and often rather aggressively.

And this is the essence of the problem.

If you sleep under such an AC, it's almost certain that you will pick up a runny nose, a sore throat, a headache, or stiff muscles.

Two nights ago, I slept on the sofa under the AC while waiting for the Croatian WC game, and after a few hours, I developed a sore throat and a runny nose. The negative effect was immediate.

I jumped into the sea and spent some time under the sun, and it was gone.

Older people sleeping directly under an AC are actually risking their lives, and I'm not even joking.

So, regulatory pushback in Europe has some logic; these things, if used improperly, are dangerous. You can't have cold air blowing directly into your body, which is fighting the heat; in Europe, pretty much everybody knows this.

Cold drafts on a warm body that cause health issues are not superstitions; they're basic physics and biology, and if you deny this, it's hard to take your points seriously.

HVAC systems work differently; they distribute cold air throughout the house, so there is little risk of directional cold drafts.

But who has time for such nuances? Let's just label everybody as poor :-)

@_themoman @jbarro I lived in SF for a decade, no AC sucks maybe sucks ten days out of the year. The difference is no one in SF ever said the absolute crazy pants “ac summons demons from the dark universe” sort of stuff Euros regularly repeat here on X the everything app.

@trose1121 @bmitori a friend of mine is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life since 2003, because USMC training on empty mag retention after a reload distracted him long enough for the guy he just shot to grab his dropped AK and put one through his spine.

[Erin Smith @erinsmithSF]

@RunemirQi I have central ac and a separate portable unit for my bedroom, and literally none of this is true. European discourse on AC as an American is like listening to a South Pacific cargo cult attempting to critique air traffic control procedures, it’s really that bad.

You’re telling me that the liberal left proved incapable of resistance to the radical left? Historically unprecedented!

[Erin Smith @erinsmithSF]

@memeticsisyphus I saw one of the accounts defending them arguing that it was just “defensive suppressive fire” and I’m like…it…doesn’t…work…like…that, especially domestically, doubly so when encountering the police. I wish I had the confidence of a leftist justifying anything.

[Erin Smith @erinsmithSF]

@mkhammer Places like these are nice, but they’re basically zoos for hicklibs. It’s fun for the kids to wave at the bears, but don’t stick your arm in the cage and make sure adults are firmly in charge.

@eigenrobot @tr0g I suspect someone(s) will just annihilate the remnant, fashion a new entity from the parts, then skinsuit the old symbols while pretending it’s a continuation. Depending on your cynicism, it may not be the first time it’s happened here either.

@HunterBiden @theliamnissan Hunter I normally don’t watch TV, but if you did a reality show I would 100% change that.

@deepestbrew @Andercot It’s a crewboat yard building a modified crewboat, the hull and powertrain looks mostly COTS. The USA actually has a fairly respectable network of small/medium-sized shipyards, it probably took a little longer than a comparable-sized standard vessel just due to the modifications

I think redemption implies some sort of fault, and I don’t actually blame him for his actions per se. He simply has a different in-group than mine, and he’s pretty much doing what I would do in his shoes. I’ve followed him for a while and often appreciate his takes. He’s still ultimately a visitor though, and it shows. https://t.co/oK6IU17UA9

Balaji: “Here’s a vision that I have: Indian Internationalism. What is Indian Internationalism? It is visas for Indians. Indians to be able to get any job in the world. India is 10x Israel. Israel does a lot of stuff with its diaspora. Organizing the diaspora is very important.”
