Steny Hoyer], when in 2009 and 2010, they had the House, the Senate and the White House, and they knew this problem existed,” he continued. “They didn’t have the strength to go after it back then. But now are trying to make

mircea_popescu: <decimation> granted, it's
a mistake to think of that as another golden age too - there's
a reason they all left Germany after all << that reason is population pressure.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> I'm convinced that one of the reasons that pre-WWII germany spiraled out of control was because people who were able to make something of themselves had already left 50 years earlier << this is actually
a pretty good theory.

mircea_popescu: I deserved it for being unattractive. You deserved it for being too attractive. We both got fucked and not in the way we wanted it. You had no power and had violation inflicted upon you. I had no power or right to feel like

a miniskirt’. Acting like
a NiceGuy was ‘being overly flirtatious’. Respecting women and pedestalizing th
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> gedankenexperiment. imagine if it were not possible to starve to death - folks who can't find any food would, say, photosynthetize (this is not geometrically/thermodynamically possible in life, but imagine for

BingoBoingo: justusranvier: There are many reasons why homeopathy is
a scam, mircea_popescu: but yeah, i suppose it's
a good proof they don't grok objective reality. << Homeopaths make their cheddar on conditions that test well against placebo
