you guys just reminded me of this College Humor video

I think it'd be funny to watch the tankies react to a poster in that style

about being born in the wrong generation

Art Nuveau is slick af

@ophiuchus sorry mr. Peterson will do

one of the character is naming off decades he'd rather be born in while another one explain why that decade actually sucked

Art Deco, too

for one them the reason is "but you couldn't marry someone of another race"

said in a disgusted voice

as if that's the WORST thing ever

i prefer comic sans @John O -

Art Deco is very American

Heck yes

Art Nouveau feels very “Paris in 1910”

It’s not bad at all tho

Again, literally anything looks better than “soulless concrete block”

Ehhhh nvm

tbh I get really nostalgic at old Eastern European stuff

@ophiuchus I like the occasional Brutalism to contrast other architecture styles

most of you guys probably couldn't relate

It shouldn’t contrast. If a building looks like it doesn’t belong with its surroundings there’s already a problem.

Hello Jordan @Jordan - MD

@ophiuchus glass monstrosities are not much better

I know I'm in the minority here, but I disagree

@V.Balboa - PA hi there

We could go with the 80s style fantasy album covers with homoerotic undertones

You know it's barely clothed Barbarian body builders

Ralph Bakshee should design our capital building

I would like to live in the high Medieval Era plus the internet

“Diversity is our strength” btfo

+ medicine

Not having small🅱ox is pretty choice

liberals are freaking out about this Juicy Smollett thing because it'll cause hate crime reports to lose credibility 😂 😂 😂

Choice

they're saying that that's the *worst* part of this situation

Why do I miss every architecture discussion

The false report isn't the worst part, the *real* victims are the people who won't be able to get sympathy from bullshit crimes anymore

Tfw there are still people who don't instantly question any "hate crime" case that goes viral

I *love* architecture

Architect gang rise up

@DixieBoy76 - KY go off, king

Every hate crime is bullshit because the category shouldn't exist

Hate crimes as a category of crime shouldn’t exist

It’s a crime already

FLYING BUTTRESS GANG RISE UP

Double crime

Technically, it goes against my 1st Amendment right of freedom of expression/speech and fundamentally against freedom of thought/opinion

Yeah I’ve never understood that

If you beat someone up for having a purple car, is that *less bad* than beating someone up for being black? Liberals would say it is, but there's really no logical reason why.

Why should I be given a worse sentence for having a certain opinion?

Obviously both are bad

As if other crimes are done out of love

“Local man attacked for being gay”

If only randomly assaulting someone was a crime

@NiceGuy the opinion should be protected by the first amendment one would think

shit, you'd probably get a longer sentence for being racist than for being a child molestor with this "hate crime" stuff

florida man: ____________

And if you commit a crime of violence towards someone, doesn't that imply hate already?

It's a redundancy

Hate crime reports didnt lose credibility after all those synagogue bomb threats ended up being from the Israeli kid

@Jordan - MD Exactly

child molestors get like 4 years it's a total joke
hate crimers probably get more than that

Muh "Premeditated by 1 second"

Oh that reminds me the Hate Crimers are playing at 9:30 club tomorrow

I think more and more people though are skeptical of these "hate crime" stories. So many of them have gone viral, then are proven to be fake.

@Perihelion - CA This case is super high profile though

@NiceGuy good.

Them being proven fake doesn't matter cause nobody reads past headlines

Although synagogue bomb threats were super high profile before they got found out

@TIDE You overestimate how retarded the average person is

People do notice this stuff

slowly, but they do

It’s already getting buried

The “attack” was plastered all over for a week, the “oh it was fake actually” was up for a day

this is how I judge news stories: how long it stays on the front page of Reddit

@ophiuchus fight the burial

AmRen has a hate crime hoax map which is full of these hoaxes, and they probably don't have the full list of the past few years.

that way I judge it with zero right wing bias

It’s baffling to me that people could read “the attackers screamed THIS IS MAGA COUNTRY NOW” and think “yeah this happened”

The Covington thing was actually on Reddit for days with people getting upvoted for saying that the kid was actually treated unfairly

Decent name for a rock group
"Fight the burial" lol

I swear people don’t go outside

After the burial @Jordan - MD

already a band

Reminder Pew news is bigger than any mainstream news show

True that^

@ophiuchus This so much. The original Reddit front page thread about Covington was about how trashy the kid was. Then, like two days later, everyone on Reddit was saying "wow, this is why we should wait for the facts to come out and not jump to conclusions". Wait for facts to come out? WTF was their to wait for? It was literally obvious in the original video that the kid was just standing there.

Lmao whitey smiled that's so horrible

How to get IE on Pew News..... 🤔

They just need to learn that the media lies constantly

Is this the true power of being smug?

To be fair, Redditors did later admit that they were wrong @NiceGuy

But what strikes me is how the hell did they originally think they were right in the first place?

@Jacob they dont want to be right, they want to be left

“Did they think” there’s your problem

@Jacob True, they were like everyone left of Ben Shapiro, either seeing it as politically advantageous or too dumb to see the truth/wait for the whole story

Double Redditor is an insult for a reason

@Jordan - MD They do want to be right, but they don't think deeply about it. They probably upvoted the original thread without actually watching the video.

Bennie Israel got it wrong too

@Jacob totally agree. I was kinda just making a lame pun tbh

@NiceGuy But what's weird to me is there was no story to "wait for". It should have been obvious from the beginning.

The kid was literally standing there doing nothing

@TIDE *looks up After the Burial*
...
🤘🏻

I mean, it’s not complicated or novel. If you believe something, you will ignore evidence to the contrary and everything coming it will be filtered through that lens. We do it too- it’s impossible not to. You can get better about watching yourself do it, but there are very intelligent people who believe very stupid things because if fits their reality tunnel better.

@Asatru Artist - MD 😂

Smug posting in real life is a superpower

@Jacob They assumed where there was no info. It wasn't clear how the group of kids and the Native came to confront each other, so people assumed the kids swarmed him, with no evidence.

But wearing a red cap is racist! Making things great is racist! America is racist! Now gimme muh handouts

We have a more accurate worldview and therefore are less surprised more often

@Perihelion - CA "Smirking While White" will be a hate crime whenever the left takes over again. <:pepe:359012488920039424>

Facecrime

Do you ever see someone with a really badly trained dog who bullies them for food? Whose fault is that really?

Sponsored by apple

Again, I’m very certain there are a lot of people on the left who are more concerned with appearing intelligent and moral than being intelligent and moral. Look to the generic argument ender from that side- “wow educate yourself.” Plenty of these people have never read anything beyond and Huffpo oped but they’ll still tell you to go stick your nose in a book because they’re certain the proof is in there, they just can’t be bothered to look.

@NiceGuy They do that a lot. I recently watched a video on NBC where a white woman was blocking a black guy from getting into his apartment complex unless he tells her his apartment number. This sounds really bad on it's face, but, if you actually think about it, she probably didn't recognize the dude, so asking his apartment number to make sure he actually lives there was a pretty reasonable question.

according to stats, the left *is* "more educated" than the right iirc

These people read too much into everything

but we all know college =/= smart at this point

At the height of the Catholic Church before the Reformation many priests had never read the Bible. The educate yourself quip is a sign of the same sort of religious Dogma

@Asatru Artist - MD likely propaganda bud. More indoctrination is what they probably meant.

With the collapse of identity, people have fallen into weird political existentialism to give their lives meaning. Politics isn’t real opinion for a lot of people, politics is an identifier.

@Asatru Artist - MD I think it's true that liberals have a higher average IQ than conservatives, but it's not as damaging as it sounds. Higher IQ people are more likely to go to college, and liberals are more likely to pursue jobs in education. So, logically, it makes sense that high IQ people will tend to end up liberal.

That's actually not true. The higher IQ myth comes from studies that only survey college students. In the general populace conservatives have a higher IQ

I would honestly be surprised if higher IQ people *weren't* more likely to be liberal at a time when liberals dominate the institutions

i was just saying "more educated" meaning more went to/graduated college. That's why I said they aren't necessarily "smarter", because college is quite the joke these days.

plus if everyone has a college degree, no one really does.

We’ll see more smart people skip college soon

For every grad student out there you've got 10 Inner City people dragging down the average

The smartest drop out

Of college

@Jacob Oh yeah those videos that go viral of *racist, evil* whitey being mean to blacks whether it'd be at the pool or at their apartment. I've grown accustomed to always question anything I don't have 100% of the facts. Sad we can't trust the media, but that is reality

During communism, the people who brought down the regimes weren't exactly the highest IQ people. They were random shipyard workers. That doesn't make communism good. It's pretty normal that high IQ people conform to whatever thought system dominates the institutions at the time.

the dude that started Virgin Mobile was a high school drop out of iirc

and he's a billionaire now...

He's also a liberal

@Asatru Artist - MD that simple concept is why Bernie is sooo wrong on the "free college" thing

At the high end of wealth liberalism becomes a political expedient and a way to Shield yourself from backlash

@Perihelion - CA I'm just saying, you don't need college to be successful, as most of us here know already.

@NiceGuy The fact that these videos go viral is actually proof of black privilege. Even if a white person genuinely did call the police on a black person for a bogus reason, what this shows is that if a white person mildly inconveniences a black person, it becomes national news. Meanwhile, there was a story where a black woman set a white baby on fire and it barely made local news.

take the survey everyone

We can actually use these stories to our advantage by pointing that out

@Jordan - MD The whole "free college" thing is just to get a ton of other do-nothings to vote for him. Plus, he doesn't care about money because he has been a govt parasite for decades. "Money" literally grows on trees to him.

Oh wow yeah I never realized that

There are definitely smart people who drop out of college because they find their talents wasted. There are also plenty of dropouts who couldn’t handle it who shouldn’t have been there in the first place.

@Jacob Very true

@Jacob very astute tbh

Alright folks we'll get started in an hour, please remember to mute your mics.

College is just a way to transfer the cost of training from the employer to the employee. It's a wage reduction hidden behind a veneer

I once had a friend tell me about a white person doing some mean to a black person, and I calmly explained to him that all this proves is that mildly inconveniencing a black person gets more attention than committing an actual crime against a white person. By the end of the conversation he took my side and agreed that it's a double standard and this stuff shouldn't actually be news.

You can change people's minds by politely pointing stuff like this out

I think many whites are feeling the heat of crime and anti whiteness and so they may overreact but they often react correctly

@Freiheit - CA I've got my glass of ice ready for fireside! <:teehee:381917632359563264>

Since colleges operate like businesses now, they basically let in literally whoever. It has the kind of nasty side effect of drastically lowering the quality of the service you’re provided.

It's a side effect of unlimited credit sponsored by the government. Unlimited credit always generates Monopoly pricing

“Group project” = “required hand holding for people who shouldn’t have been allowed to finish high school”

Ice meme is ded pls

Because humans suck at utility analysis when it comes to amortized schedules

not if i actually chew unmuted :-p

meme police in da haus <:really:453005408064241674>

In the long term, it's actually *good* for us in a way that these stories about a black person being inconvenienced go viral. Because it gives us a great opportunity to point out double standards.

So, by all means, yes, the media *should* keep overreacting every time a white person mildly inconveniences a black person.

*Ice Chewers are the most powerful race in the world*

**only REAL IE members chew Ice while Casey is doing the fireside**

True

Pls, is cringe

Ice chewing helps you looksmaxx your jaw

*>Mrs. Logan isnt a REAL IE Member it would seem...*

@ophiuchus Exactly, and the fact that tuition costs vary based on whether you're in-state or not also supports that, my grades were not as high as what was regarded to be the admission standard, but that out-of-state tuition cost definitely played into my acceptance

My teeth hurt. Halp

Ice chewing wears down your teeth

@ophiuchus I am like a shark, my teeth are always regrowing

But the teeth that do remain are extra strong

i don't even chew ice, i get my drinks without ice

@Jordan - MD I went to school on a full ride and the amount of teaching I had to do to keep people I worked with in the loop was basically a full time job

The infamous “guy who couldn’t find the average of three numbers” or “girl who argued with me until she was blue in the face that THIS HYDROGEN ATOM IS DOUBLE BONDED”

Ice chew give grug big jaw

Remember to get off your parents tax return so your financial aid application registers you as poor

better than rock chew

Affirmative action unironically harms the students who get accepted under it

Poor ice chewing gang rise up

@ophiuchus oh no. That's bad.

✊🏻

I got into UW through affirmative action and ended up taking classes that were way above my level

@Jacob this. They throw them in knowing full well they won’t be able to finish

i went to art school so I didn't have to worry about all that... 😳

I honestly would have preferred they not accept me

I got accepted into stem classes by saying I was "mixed race" aka French AND anglo

I was arguing with a friend about IQ once and he was like, "so if they told you you're not smart enough and should go to a trade school, you would be okay with that?"

Uh... yes, I would not only be okay, but *thankful* that I wasn't thrown into something way above my level

“It says here you made a 14 on the math portion of the ACT but you’re a minority so welcome aboard- sure you won’t be able to finish the math requirement but we’ll get our money from you anyway”

Vultures

Vc is lit.

He was straw manning me so hard during that argument it was hilarious

He made up this really weird scenario

"So if you were doing fine in school and getting Bs, but then they gave you a brain scan which found your IQ wasn't high enough and you should go to a trade school instead, you would be okay with that?"

@ophiuchus At my (D3 art) college, they let the black athletes through and they never attended classes. <:really:453005408064241674> I'm sure the same happens with a certain number of non-athletes too.

I guarantee you, I did not argue for anything like that. That's just weird.

@Jacob fork lift operators are the strongest race

If you've never smashed a jar of salsa and then eatien it with a glass bits still in then you're not even European

@Perihelion - CA Using the glass bits as chips for the salsa

@FACINEMA awoo

Awoo memes are important too, yes

My position was literally "IQ is a valid thing for scientists to research" and he somehow strawmanned that into "we should give college students brain scans to make sure their IQs are high enough or else they get kicked out"

Can we do a change.org petition to change the name of the state of Utah to Vtah?

@Jacob "because that's how IQ tests work"

Might as well test affirmative action applicants to make sure they’re black enough

They allowed me into college so that's a pretty good argument for the brainscans tbh

@NiceGuy and Connecticvt

I mentioned brain scans as evidence that IQ is biologically hard wired to an extent, I wasn't *actually* arguing that we brain scan college students 😂
