You ever be up at 3 am watching Bionicle commercials for the Toa Inika and hearing Move Along play in the background make you close to crying from nostalgia you never even had

“land mexico lost to the united states”

as a student of latin america for over half a decade in university, im so fucking sick of mexicans, and really spics in general, not knowing their own fucking history

hmmm, how did mexico “lose” this land to the united states? well, there was this whole big deal called the mexican american war. the united states elected the most ridiculously based and still top 3 president of all time james k polk who is the only president to ever accomplish everything he set out to do, did it in a single term, and refused to run again.

he instigated a war with mexico that the united states won so ridiculously easily while begging mexico to “stop hitting yourself” because mexico kept declaring war on itself and its military leadership was so ineffective they could only beat ~250 americans in a fort once with well over 2000 men with the us casualties being those ~250 and mexican casualties being 1000-1600.

anyway, the us military casually walked down the length of mexico to mexico city from the north and demolished the forces of veracruz like it was a tuesday in a invasion from the gulf. the converged on the city and felt so bad for defeating mexico so hard that they STILL paid mexico for the land, especially as a way to try to maintain good will with mexico and so that they forfeit their claims to all the american southwest territories.

the most annoying part, however, is the idea that there were all these “mexicans” who were “crossed by the border” after the mexican american war. the population of the ENTIRE REGION when it was part of mexico was an almost entirely white texas of over 100k white americans, 50k spaniards in NM and AZ, and 6000 people in CA, NV, AND UT COMBINED. the rest of the territory was occupied by virtually completely autonomous amerindian groups with absolutely no connection to mexico.

so i rest my case. the entire idea of the “mexican southwest” is a recent invention by pan-latino university professors (plenty of whom i knew in university) who are largely anti white and are huge latino history historical revisionists. there never was a “mexican” southwest, as mexico virtually never made any effort to settle nor administrate the southwest in any way.

This is exactly why I think everything should be based on an electoral college model with each county giving a number of votes. It'd bring some much needed diversity to who we elect and have some actual equity so every voter feels included, not just the big cities.

Persona is the epitome of people flip-flopppng between “this is Diddy blud media” and “this is super woke and progressive, chud” depending on which argument is needed at the time

I genuinely don't understand the fascination people have with high speed rail. Yes I had a train phase when I was 4 just like every other red blooded American but it's just not feasible, especially modern day. We are simply too big of a country.

@katy4congress You're still just projected, it's always possible for it to flip however unlikely it may be. Assuming the majority of the remaining votes are for Brandon this post won't age well.

“Support real artists! Don’t use AI!”

I DID. I spent THOUSANDS commissioning artists who took my money, ghosted me for months, and spent their time pumping out adoptables and YCHs instead of delivering my artwork.

So I used AI to finish what they wouldn't.

Now other artists refuse my money because I've used AI.

You told me to support artists. I DID. You took my money, wasted my time, and now shame me for finding an alternative.

You're not fighting AI. You're driving paying customers straight into its arms.

What did they mean by this?

If I had a nickel for every time a girl has unmatched me in between the time I liked her and finishing crafting the first message I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot but God damn it ruins the rest of my day all the same

I can't be the only one who can't stand the change of how YouTube shows vids on the mobile homepage. Simultaneously too much dead space and everything bunched up without breathing room. Channel name size is too close to the title size. Title too far to the left, hate it

@Zennistrad This is like that meme where they forgot how to make the In The End music video, I doubt anyone at YouTube or silicon valley for that matter even knows the first thing about how to do this

One of the only existing groves of American Chestnut trees is scheduled to be destroyed next month to make room for a datacenter. I made an entire video about what this tree meant and the efforts to bring it back that have lasted decades. Consumption knows nothing of sacrament.

Insane new video of the NOAA Hurricane Hunters navigating through the 180 MPH eyewall of Hurricane Polo yesterday before reaching the massive Stadium Effect of the eye.

These are some of the bravest and most skilled pilots in the entire world.
