Libs play a game I call "How Much Pain Can I Tolerate?" where they think, it's just chess pieces. Trivial to replace. Costs basically nothing. No big deal. Why would I put someone in jail for stealing them, are you insane? How selfish can you be? I can easily tolerate the pain of having to replace chess pieces for a couple of bucks every once in a while.

My 1 point of discomfort for tolerating the behavior easily outweighs by the 9999 points of discomfort that punishing the behavior would generate. You want me to put some kid in jail over a couple hunks of plastic?

Why would I arrest a guy for buying a banana with counterfeit money? Why would I chase someone down for Skittles and an Arizona Iced Tea? Why would I disrupt the houseless schizo shooting up and jacking off on the subway, it doesn't really affect me. It's easy to ignore. These people are already suffering.

But the chess pieces keep getting stolen. Old chess guys stop using the park. Rowdy teenagers take over. Moms stop bringing their kids. The park fills up with crackheads.

You see this phenomenon everywhere you look. Libs let petty crime slide because they think "I can take it." And maybe they can. But every time they do this, they add a little bit of pointless friction to every day life. A sliver of pain, a cost that adds up and up.

Now your Rite Aid shampoo is locked up. Now the shop has to hire a security guard (and raises prices accordingly). Now there's needles under the jungle gym. Now there's no old people on the corner keeping an eye on things. Now your kid can't run to the corner store after dark. Now your wife gets catcalled on her way home from work. Now there's loud reggaeton playing all the time. Life gets a little shittier and shittier. But hey, you can tolerate it. No big deal.

Ann Widdecombe is gone, and Britain is smaller for it this morning.

She was the real thing. She said what she meant and never once checked the wind before she opened her mouth. They laughed at her, marked her down, sneered at her faith and her flag. She outlasted the lot of them.

“If you want to get our country back again, then there is no earthly point in voting for more of the same.”

Clear as a bell to the very last. She went into politics to serve, not to be served, and working people trusted her because she never talked down to them. She was one of us.

May she rest in peace and rise in glory.

I will not purchase a PS6 if nothing changes. Fuck that.

@Yukon_GoldRef @itsnwts That's where having friends you meetup in the evenings with comes into play. You still get that human interaction without sitting in hours of commute

[G. F. O 🇺🇸🇳🇬 @gami4u]

@itsnwts So you mean you don't wanna partake in the water cooler gossip, eyeball Lindsay from Accounting and smell what Dave brought for lunch? Bad team player😂

@zsmitty16 @SwannMarcus89 I have to disagree cos it would lead to conformity and not allow insurgent movements like Tea Party or MAGA that shook up the system. Dems are trying to shake up their own side but keep getting worse and worse candidates to achieve it.

[G. F. O 🇺🇸🇳🇬 @gami4u]

@zizimoke @SwannMarcus89 How do you have $1.2m but can only spend $100k?🤔😳

[G. F. O 🇺🇸🇳🇬 @gami4u]

@perrymetzger @SwannMarcus89 I don't necessarily agree cos it led to conformity and jobs-for-the-boys type agreements. Would not allow insurgent movements like the Tea Party, MAGA, or even whatever the Dem left are doing now.

[Ari Fleischer @AriFleischer]

It’s not the Nazi tattoo, or his lying about it, or his statement that all cops are bastards, or his use of an app that targets teens, or his admission he was a communist that led Ds to dump Platner.

It’s fear he will lose that caused this stampede.

Never forget that.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Democrats waited until after the July 4th holiday to code red Platner. They did it with a full week left to force him out of the race. It’s diabolical how they are fine with erasing primaries & hand picking new “nominees” all while claiming Republicans will destroy democracy.

I have now read this highlighted sentence seventeen times because I assumed I wan't actually reading what was written. Surely my eyes didn't actually read this. Maybe someone accidentally pasted in dialogue from "The Onion." back when it was funny. But no.

She is saying that she delayed reporting a rape because she agreed with the accused, politically.

This is one of those moments where, if your IQ is over 85, your brain quietly excuses itself from the room.

We have apparently reached a point where politics has become the emotional-support animal for basic human survival instincts. "Yes, this person committed one of the worst crimes imaginable against me, but we both liked the same tax policy. Awkward."

If your political identity has become so central that it can outweigh reporting your own rape, congratulations: you hve joined a cult. Cults are famous for making people subordinate reality, morality, and self-preservation to the interests of the group.

I hate cults. I hate them a lot.
They don't ask you to ignore facts all at once: they ask for one tiny compromise after another until one day you discover you're explaining away things that should be absolutely indefensible.

What's sad isnt just that people end up there. It's that many of them don't even realize it. They sincerely believe they're making a principled decision when, from the outside, everyone else is wondering why the obvious isn't obvious anymore.

At least religious cults usually promise enlightenment, salvation, eternal life, or an alien spaceship hiding behind a comet. Political cults dont even offer that. They ask you to sacrifice your judgment, your relationships, sometimes even your own well-being in exchange for cable-news talking points, in favor of a politician who will sell you out for a pack of gum.

That's a spectacularly bad trade.

At some point, "my team" has to lose to "the person who committed a violent felony against me." That's not supposed to be a close game.

BOOMER: "Just buy a house. Stop renting and build equity."

ME: "Houses are $450,000."

BOOMER: "So get a mortgage."

ME: "I need a $90,000 down payment."

BOOMER: "I bought my first house with $5,000 down."

ME: "What did your house cost?"

BOOMER: "$60,000."

ME: "So you put down 8% of the price. I need to put down 20%."

BOOMER: "Well your salary should be higher."

ME: "I make $70,000 a year. Banks say I can afford a $280,000 house max."

ME: "Everything in my area costs $400,000+."

BOOMER: "You should move somewhere cheaper."

ME: "All the jobs are here. If I move, I make $35,000 and houses still cost $250,000."

BOOMER: "It's about discipline and sacrifice."

ME: "You bought a house for 3 years of salary. I need 6 years of salary."

ME: "Plus I have $50,000 in student debt you didn't have."

BOOMER: "Well I worked hard."

ME: "So do I. I'm just playing a different game with worse odds."

BOOMER: *silent*

You didn't buy a house because you were smarter. You bought it because it was actually affordable.

@Rejoice_inlife In this case they had a genuine reason. They were at war and Israel and USA had total control of the air. Any gathering would have attracted drones. So they had to wait for the ceasefire to hold and esp Israel to rein in.

[Alan @A1an_M]

So...

We're not allowed to buy air conditioners for our houses to cool them in hot summer weather, because we don't have enough electricity to power them, because the solar panels and wind turbines we installed to stop the planet getting hot in summer, don't work when it's hot and windless in summer, so we'd need to burn gas, oil and coal instead to power the AC to cool our houses, but we blew up the oil, gas and coal power stations to stop the planet getting hot in summer, but it's still hot in summer.

But it's still ok to install heat pumps in winter, heat pumps which are also air conditioners and use the same amount of electricity or more, but we still won't have enough electricity to power them on cold, dark, windless winter evenings, because solar panels and wind turbines don't work then either, and we blew up the gas, oil and coal fired power stations because they were making the planet too hot in winter as well as summer.

Have I missed anything?
