The typo almost kills it.

RIck and Morty, the Big Bang Theory of Current Year

You've ascended to a greener state of being

Why can't you own tanks and such?

are there any private tanks then? How about some personal nuclear devices

does it stand a chance against a modern one?

perhaps not, but you could keep them off your backs

how about some private drones

military grade

permanently inoperable, doesn't sound very useful

not very permanent then

oh, I'm not

hopefully you'll never have to face a truly oppressive government

they are an interesting element these days. I wonder how a modern US government would deal with a seperatist state

they'd be forced to do something, to make sure the country doesn't collapse

life would be tough without recognition from the rest of the world

cultural relativism, brightens any day

so long as we don't start arguing that it's impossible to judge other currently existing cultures for their terrible ideas, I don't think we have much of a problem

not that I'd expect something like that here, really

from the perspective of an imagined culture that has had longer time to mature and develop, I'm certain we'd still be considered drooling barbarians.

perhaps, but I wouldn't immediately fault them for thinking so

We do know better. If we're struggling with the same issues in 50 years, which I certainly don't hope, there's a case to be made against at least part of us.

I think it's fair to be able to point out the terrible ideas of the past, so we can learn from them.

They're a fun challenge in Europa Universalis. 😛

well, you haven't been banned yet, so it's not Steve Shives level

Yeah, plenty of disagreement on the gun debate

they're not _that_ different, though.

you've also not proven that it's related to their race, Charles

but you seem to argue from that point of view

yes, you've shown correlation

between something arbitrary, it also looks like an awful correlation

Are African-Americans, with ancestry in certain African areas, placed higher on the IQ scale than the people who live in the nations of the same areas today?

If so, how did this change happen in such a short time?

is this the same for those in the US who have ancestry from that region? Or has there been no studies done on something like that?

obvious reality

I don't agree

not from what you've shown us so far

at least

well, to be honest, it was pretty devolved to begin with 😛

if we accept your conclusions, Charles

what then?

From a policy making perspective, I can't really see what the supposed insight you're providing, could possibly help. If we accept that blacks are just inherently inferior and cannot rise from their supposed mental depths, what feasible, fair and legal policy could you possibly suggest that would improve the situation?

@BrianBoru it didn't need to be said directly

they don't

same with the chinese really. Poor work ethics, and poor overall efficiency, but a LOT of work hours makes up for it.

sorry Japanese*

heh, franti, there was an end blurb of a news report here about IQ ceilings being reached, that suggested we go out and find us an East Asian mate

you did link the low IQ to negative societal effects

not really

New EU guidelines for journalists:

A sad, but simultaneously hillarious read

those communist pigs are way too fat

true

yeah, those white helmets are scummy af

I like how that article above has Hungary spelled "Hungry" in the headline.

Because Jeff Loomis is life.

There are two things I'd like to see in China, but they're just not interesting enough to me, to make me want to go there.

Hearing awful stories about its people doesn't do much to change that, heh

I feel out of the loop

lul

Why is the concept of fighting back so foreign to them?

Possibly some aspect of ignorance of islamic societies, and the poor quality of life that is the standard there - and an unwillingness to look at whether or not there might be some connection there.

I'd rather be a degenerate, than a normie. <:kermit_spree:378719408438116352>

@Beggar Hero I was at their live show earlier this month, which was 90% Crimson Idol tracks, so that's why I chose it over something else. :p

A lot of people think so

Even so, pushing such an "agenda", even as a troll, could lead to unwanted consequences for society.

Yeah. There are certainly elements in Hollywood who'd like something like what Yee is advocating to become acceptable.

I suppose it's there, but I don't care to speculate

Reminds me that I need to watch Logicked's video on it

Just got back from voting in a local election, voted for 2x 60+ year old men due to them being honest on their pro-science stance towards "alternative" medicine. Patriarchy +1

I hope someone captures the "launch"

<:feels_crying:382980732835856394>

that's no tit

australians and their slang

purge the aussies

Danish weather and climate is mild, and the culture is not as self-hating as Swedish.

good luck getting past the immigration laws though

Well, that kind of depends on where you settle. Most cities are expensive to live in, and it's really only in those that you can live without a car.

Where I live, the busy mornings can cause the public transport to take almost an hour to get where you can go on a bicycle in 15 minutes.

I suppose some of this is caused by the fact that it's an old city that has been slow to upgrade its infrastructure

Which just goes to show, even the places championed as veritable paradise by certain politicians, has a great many things to be improved upon, for it to even be anywhere close to deserving of such a comparison.

Not everyone commutes from the same place. Some people come from further away, and then get stuck in inner city traffic.

Bike storage things?

There's plenty of places to put your bike, without fear of it being stolen, but that hasn't helped the traffic congestion.

it's not the people coming into the city from public transport that causes the problem. It's the people coming in with personal transport, that cause congestion. They can't take public transport because they live in areas with little to no connection to the city via public transport. They'd get no benefit from there being safe places to store their bikes (there already is)

nobody is feeling entitled, it was an observation on an area that can be improved upon. Do you know anything about the state of the infrastructure in the city I'm talking about?

there are varying degrees of traffic problems, the scale is not just "PROBLEMS - NO PROBLEMS"

I'm sure people are doing their best to work around it, but that doesn't mean you can't attempt to improve upon it, which is all I would ever suggest on the subject, really.

they don't have other options than to drive to the center, where the parking is available.

I don't know about you Gumby, but I'm freaking out right now

<:feels_crying:382980732835856394>

I don't particularly, since I'm not from teh USA

the EU will fuck things up for me without me ever having a say, I'm sure.

I live in an old city, so yeah, it's not exactly intelligently designed

I kind of do, too, but yeah - same people were more or less elected the other day in the local elections, so I doubt much change is on the table.
