"Body-Count" discourse is infinitely grotesque and degraded.
You should never admit to anything other than your number of legally recorded marriages + 2.
This advice will serve you well in life.
Americans are significantly *descended* from the English, but we are not at all the same as the modern English.
The cranio-facial morphology (and all that follows from that) is entirely different.
I'm mostly English but Mr. Rees-Mogg is almost a different race.

The English are a mongrel people, not an Aryan master race.
The Imperialism is one of the better things about Trump.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇻🇪 Trump is now openly stating at the UN that the drug trade was not the reason he attacked Venezuela, but rather to stop other countries (Russia and China) from gaining a foothold in the Western Hemisphere:
“Our actions in Venezuela are proof that the United States will no longer permit threats to America to gain a foothold anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, and if necessary, we will use our unmatched military might to secure the vital national interests of the United States.”

Here is my ultraminimal, zero-cost change that would make it pretty popular.
A significant percent of older people genuinely like Liver.
It's an old time thrift food from back when people actually did thrift.
Many moms served liver at home once a week, some acquired the taste this way.

Went to a local diner for some pie and the man who came in after us ordered liver and onions
In another age, he would have declared himself to be the real tsar, marched on Moscow with the support of dispossessed boyars and their serfs, and been beheaded on a public square.
Rustbeltism is an electoral form of picking up pennies in front of a steamroller.
Sooner or later you WILL get punished for slighting growing areas and fetishizing shrinking ones.
I’ve long said this is the future
The GOP trading the high growth South for moribund Midwest is doubly bad for them b/c it will *not* force them to meet ever evolving electorate represented in Sunbelt…but again retreat to more narrow things that MAYBE work in MI/WI/OH/NH

On one hand "Blue Texas" has been hyped for my entire life and it never happens.
On the other hand, Ai was hyped for a long time and then one day "Hal" actually appeared.
Maybe things are going to start happening in general.

The great majority of jobs are unpleasant, so you always have this effect.
Most people will tell you to avoid their own job, and will suggest some other job.
But the people who actually have the other job will say the same thing . . .

Every day I see one post saying your only chance for a semi decent life is going to be joining the military
And one post saying absolutely fucking do not join the military it sucks and is absolutely not worth it

When it comes to tech revolutions, humans don't get to separate the wheat from the chaff. You don't get nuclear energy without a Cold War, you don't get mass literacy without some wars of religion, you don't get the internet without mass porn addiction.

Many people are not aware that the productivity of much Eastern farmland relies upon annual spreading of lime to raise the soil pH.
Along with tile drainage, mass scale liming was one of the biggest of the 19th century agricultural revolutions.

I support "Project Jupiter."
The Empire of the Sun is futuristic by its very nature.
Our destiny lies in nuclear de-salination, ASI, trans-continental water transfer, enclosed mega-cities, etc.
New Mexico’s high court clears air permit review and water pumping to resume for the Project Jupiter data center.
The real problem isn't the disruption. It's that the disrupter class is finally being disrupted. That's what makes them nervous.
Everyone else has been the disrupted for generations. They said it was necessary.

Caral goes incredibly hard. Roughly contemporaneous with Ur.
Deepens the mystery of what was going on during that time period.
Hard to believe that after 100K years of just hanging out, humans on opposite sides of the globe independently started building similar ziggurats.

Hace más de 5,000 años en medio del desierto costero peruano, en el fértil valle de Supe, emergió un portento arquitectónico que cambiaría la historia de nuestro continente para siempre:
La inmensa Ciudad Sagrada de Caral.
Reconocida oficialmente como la civilización más antigua de todo el hemisferio occidental, esta metrópoli primigenia floreció milenios antes que otras grandes culturas de la región, logrando un nivel de desarrollo que sigue asombrando a la comunidad científica internacional.
¿Qué hace tan excepcional a este imponente complejo arqueológico?
Arquitectura monumental: Sus habitantes edificaron impresionantes pirámides escalonadas y colosales plazas circulares hundidas. Todo fue diseñado con una precisión matemática y una alineación astronómica inigualables.
Ingeniería de vanguardia: Fueron pioneros en la prevención de desastres naturales.
Desarrollaron tecnología sismorresistente utilizando canastas tejidas con fibras vegetales, garantizando que sus majestuosos templos perduraran firmes a través de los siglos.
Sabiduría sostenible:
Su extraordinario progreso se fundamentó en el profundo conocimiento de la agricultura, el manejo inteligente del clima y el establecimiento de una próspera red de intercambio comercial a lo largo de diversas regiones geográficas.
Caral es mucho más que un conjunto de estructuras milenarias; ostenta el merecido título de Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO porque es el testimonio vivo del inmenso ingenio de nuestros antepasados.
Nos demuestra la increíble capacidad del ser humano para organizar sociedades complejas, armoniosas y altamente avanzadas desde los albores de la historia.

If we are going to go down the path that the AI doomers want we should just go all the way. Let's not half ass it.
No computers at all. Maybe no cars or electricity either.
Farms, horses, scythes, lanterns, etc. Just fking send it

Everyone is obsessed with getting into Harvard.
But in Mass Affluence, you don't actually NEED to go to Harvard.
Extraordinary material lifestyles are available to a broad swath of Americans, most of whom never came within 500 miles of an Ivy.

So this appears to be "the map" of the child transgender issue.
Grey states, you have at least some risk of losing custody and having a child medically transitioned.
Blue states there is no possibility of this.
Never going to impact most families, but it's a pretty good metric for other things also.

"I was living near a data center and I didn't even know it!"
This is just Spain with funny moon writing here and there.
Also, the median age is 23 instead of 48.
So it's probably a lot more fun.
The Amish is actually the opposite of the "Chud."
#1#. They are mobile and weirdly cosmopolitan.
#2#. They don't adopt "national" identities and regard "borders" and "ID cards" as a mere nuisance.
#3#. They also don't identify with the general category of "whites."

The one thing that we might actually learn from the Amish/Mennonites has nothing to do with buggies or funny clothes.
It is their tendency to MOVE in organized extended family clusters.
When they over-populate a farm district and farms get scarce/expensive, they roll out for greener pastures. Just like Americans used to do.
And there appears to be no limit to their taste for adventure, they are now extending into all parts of Latin America.
Some have even reached Africa already.
