Fair enough. I've talked before about the difference between the popular history and real history, and when making statements like the above it's typically using pop history to engage with a common shorthand (knowing that I often don't use shorthand resulting in massive effortposts)
The people who accuse others of hate seem to be the most hateful people alive today, and usually the most actually bigoted. Like the national socialists of 1938, they are particularly ugly because they think their hatred and bigotry is morally justified and makes them good people.
This is an amazing restoration of a toy from 1918. The guy goes so far as to build his own stamping presses to remanufacture many of the parts that are totally destroyed.
I can't help but think that this toy would have been one of the most expensive toys you could buy in 1918. It has tons parts made of steel and all kinds of clockwork. After this restoration, it's probably among the most expensive toys on the planet.
I hate to say it, but when someone goes "We're a bunch of nerds" these days, I immediately hear "we're a bunch of far left tourists destroying your shit"
I mean, maybe that isn't fair, but disco stu doesn't advertise.
I pray for the future prosperity of Argentina, and I pray that what Milei has down down there can be replicated up here in Soviet Canuckistan after Castro's bastard son gets kicked out.
atol atol atol, I had just got back from the pub and was beatin me woife moira while eating a potato and suddenly I said to her "Moira! Maybe if I run the banks I can afford more potatoes? She said, "Well then, Paddy, you’d better start polishing that banker accent!" and I says to her "Wat the fok's a banker accent?"
I can understand it though, if you are worried that icons such as art or statues are being worshipped as idols, then that's one of the 10 commandments you're breaking, so you got to go ruin all the pretty things in Byzantium.
The scary thing is that antidepressants are like a volume knob for your emotions, you can turn it all down.
I always liken them to taking morphine to stop the pain of a broken leg. The thing is, even if you kill the pain you can't keep walking on that leg or it's going to get further damage done to it.
If the drug companies had their way, they'd want us all walking on two broken legs popping morphine to kill the pain, and broken inside popping anti-depressants so we stop thinking about how much it hurts in our hearts.
Let me tell you how running a blog works: You write something, and then a bunch of russian bots come in trying to sell shit on your website. It's boring. I'd much rather interact with people here on the fediverse, occasionally popping out a big effortpost.
One of them came to pass that "Personally, as long as [Donald Trump] retains his core identity and brand, I think it’s a winning strategy, insofar as such a thing can exist." And he won with that strategy.
The second was that "Most alarm lights that haven’t had masking tape put over them by the government are screaming imminent stagflationary depression, maybe one of the worst in American History, and everyone with eyes and basic math skills can see the looming sovereign debt crisis. Nobody wants to be holding this hot potato because whoever is in power at that time is almost certainly going to preside over a disaster and there’s nothing to be done about it."
I'd love to be wrong but I don't think I am. There's trouble ahead for Trump and the Republicans, and I hope they are already planning for the incoming financial crisis.
