This is bad history.

Please explain what Chamberlain was supposed to have done differently. Explain how he was supposed to protect Czechoslovakia with zero military presence and zero contact with any resistance. Explain why Churchill’s plan to protect Poland was identical to Chamberlain’s plan to protect Czechoslovakia. (thoughts and prayers)

No, the “Chamberlain could have stopped Hitler if only…” meme is reactionary missive against diplomacy. It makes perfect sense, if you don’t think about it.

Who wants to bet that the idea of retaliatory tariffs wasn’t gamed out beforehand and they have no strategy?

It seems like if you want a trade war with China, you’d want partners to help you apply pressure and replace Chinese goods you can’t do without. Maybe somewhere like Vietnam for cheap labor; Canada for rare-earth minerals; and the EU to buy expensive American goods and services. Oh no.

The reasoning here is specious and anecdotal. If extreme porno causes sex crimes, wouldn’t you expect to see an accompanying rise in SA, incest, and rape? Why does it lead to the thing that the algorithm won’t show you? Because the article admits that you have to go elsewhere for the offending media.

This highlighted the fact that most people – around eight out of 10 – caught with images of children being sexually abused are not jailed.

What can this mean other than most of the defendants are adjudicated not to be a threat to children?

And if you think I’m being permissive, this article’s whole thesis is that internet porn turns normal dudes into pedos. Thus the offenders are not fully responsible.

after contact, the company acknowledged the problem and removed the accounts

Meta is outsourcing content moderation to journalists.

I consider his transformation into a double-Christian to be a confession that all the accusations are true. The biggest pieces of dogshit always face consequence mumbling prayers and missives.

Since this service is free, I expect Az is taxing the retailers somehow. Perhaps it’s something like the Honey scam.

I’ll bet you can’t pay with an Az giftcard or credit balance.

Even though a purple State, Georgia’s literal political map is designed to keep State power from the citizens of Atlanta. Rural voters and reactionary politics like ‘tough on crime’, have been dominant there since the failure of Reconstruction.

For 2022, TX is indeed the leader in abuse/neglect deaths, but as an absolute number (176), not by population.

No2 is CA so they’re statistically just as dangerous, maybe a little more than TX, but what shocked me was GA! Georgia is in competition with TX and CA despite having a quarter the population. At the same time they’re blowing past states like NY and FL. So the real question is WTF is going on in the Peach State?

Protectionism and isolationism have a robust tradition in American left politics. But even so, Unions have their own interests and American history is full of examples where Unions have opposed progressive policy. They are one of the biggest obstacles to universal healthcare for example.

Some people just need to learn to keep their sex lives at home

WTF is a country with a .75 fertility rate exporting the few children it has?

(fertility is measured as the average children each woman has. You need a 2.1 to maintain population.)

Unforgivable Faux Pas: being black. Also being “American” which is code for being black.

Ima keep this in my back pocket for when chuds ask: “why do we need black history”?

The purpose of humane executions is to relieve pain and discomfort to capital punishment supporters. It’s not a worthy goal.

If you oppose capital punishment, then you should prefer the most horrific and cruel methods because that at least forces the public to face the cruelty done in their name.

If Presidents are allowed to declassify documents with their mind, why cant they pardon with autopen?

These devices are a great help to the elderly and disabled, and Amazon’s offerings are the least expensive. My buddies Mom can call emergency services from anywhere in her home with just her voice. I don’t think that’s foolish at all.

Yea, even after 48hours of 'Fuck 'Chuck content, what the President said was beyond the pale.

It’s always been this way for the cheap speakers. They’ve no processing power on-board and need the cloud just to tell you the time.
