Occam's Retard is definitely a valuable addition to our conceptual universe. It's the "I ain't reading all that" idea clarified as a named fallacy. The shortest explanation must be right.
Some retard does propaganda in a sentence that takes a page to take apart. Occam's Retard.
Remember that red lit Philadelphia speech? I do.
Joe Biden stood there and painted millions of MAGA Republicans as extremists and a threat to democracy.
That happened. He said it out loud, on national television.
Never forget how ugly political rhetoric can get when one side decides ordinary Americans are the enemy.
They want people unable to understand how to work through and structure an argument, to read it back and see where it is weak and doesn't make sense, and thus to never develop the ability to see the flaws in the writings of the Communist idiots they worship and long to be.
Argentina’s monthly inflation went from 25.5% in Milei’s first month to 1.7% in August 2026.
As expected when government stops printing pesos to cover the deficit.
Fiscal surplus first, then prices stop sprinting.
The “experts” who called this “austerity theater” now have 33 months of INDEC data to explain away.
- 1913: "The income tax will only hit the top 1%."
- 1935: "Social security numbers will never be used for identification."
- 1971: "The gold suspension is temporary."
- 2001: "These surveillance powers are only for terrorists."
- 2020: "Two weeks to slow the spread."
- 2026: "CBDCs will never be used to control spending."
- You: "I'm noticing a pattern."
- Government: "There's no pattern."
- You: "That's what the pattern would say."
You are in the middle of an intensive, carefully orchestrated information warfare campaign designed to make you believe that the midterms are already lost and that there is no hope.
This only works if you choose to let it work.
Don't let it work.
Fight the power.
Chamath explains the political calculus behind Obama’s anti AI speech
“This is a very important moment for a very simple reason, which is that the world is about to endow 3-6 companies with about $10 trillion of wealth.”
“And what Obama knows very well is that most of those companies are overwhelmingly left leaning. And what he also knows is that there is a huge portion of that money that will then get put into philanthropic and charitable causes that then he and the people around him will be beneficiaries of."
“That is the truth. We already know this because we know that some of these frontier corporations actually ask you to sign up DAFTs and have a portion of your stock that you're willing to pledge. So this money is going to go to things other than consumption or savings. It's going to go into PACs, it's going to go into political movements, and they stand to disproportionately benefit."
“So this has nothing to do with prosperity. This is a very simple political calculus. If you freeze frame the economy the way it is today, a handful of organizations that will disproportionately be able to affect the Democrats will win, they will capture the lion's share of the economic gains. And then they will help the Democrats win power. That's all this is."
@TitleTownTalks Who would be available in the middle of a season that would be an improvement? Just start the search now, ride it out, get a good draft pick (for the love of God pick an OL).
The NGOs end up increasing the number of homeless people they manage, because that’s the only way to increase their revenue! Incentives drive outcomes.
“Homeless” is a propaganda word used to describe people on the street who are mentally ill or severely addicted to drugs. The word implies that this is someone who fell a little behind on their mortgage payment and they’re one job offer away from getting back on their feet, which is obviously false if you’ve ever tried talking to a “homeless” person in SF, LA, NY, Austin or anywhere else.
The honest reality is that we need to bring back asylums for extreme mental illness or drug addiction for those who are a serious danger to themselves or others.
The Chargers were the WORST team in the NFL in Pass Block Win Rate last year.
They still won 54% of the time.
The Packers are at 16%
And everyone said the Chargers OL last year was non-functional. So what are the Packers? A football war crime??
