Post-CRA Southern Strategy in full effect.

 

a second Great Depression is the answer to our problems

 

hey, we fucking tried!

Mass can only carry so much dead weight

 

amazing idea

 

funny how close elections is historically more of a recent thing

 

Thankfully, Nelnet sent me a letter saying that they're wiping away that I'm overdue on anything. I still have to pay it over time of course, but my account is in good standing and I only have my regular payment due next month appearing instead of saying I'm >$1,000 overdue

 

Elon certainly thinks so!

 

Ultimately, this is sort of an ad for a news service, but it's also extremely intriguing. In the spirit of the channel, it's approaching politics through an 'engineering / scientific' point of view, but it's interesting nonetheless.

EDIT - Since it's not clear from the title, it's about political bias, and how to cognitively avoid its pitfalls.

 

the smartest person I know recommended me Veritasium. it ROCKS.

 

Same! Listening to it right now thanks in part to this post.

Durham is where I saw them, I'd never been to The Fruit before, but it was a pretty cool hole-in-the-wall type venue. I unfortunately missed Soft Blue Shimmer and Portrayal of Guilt, but got there just in time for Soul Glo and they went off.

 

Judges have such fucking egos. My state just approved a ballot initiative to raise the max age of judges from 70 to 75 and I'm pissed

 

I watch this guy's videos on physics and space and stuff all the time!

 

I don’t know why dems didn’t either pack the court or push for term limits on Supreme Court justices oh wait I know why they didn’t, the status quo is just fine actually and institutions are sacred etc

 

Hey at least we will get some good folk music out of it

 

I spit out my drink reading this

 

See how you feel about this one... It's political without being political I guess. It's ultimately to share a new 'news' service the channel is offering that's supposed to be scientifically and factually driven and avoid misinterpretation of data based on predetermined political opinions (and who knows how good it is / delivers on that promise), but the experiment, and interviews in the video are interesting and I thought would be of interest to some.

 

"the rights of parents to control the education of their children" sounds so fucking dystopian..

 

I'm rly interested in how symbolics can influence politics, so honest question: any chance that trump would've lost if noone had tried to shoot him?

 

The actual traveling folk troubadours of Great Depression 2 would probably look more like this tbh lol

 

A chance, yes, but probably not a good one.

Because of the electoral college, it wasn't that far off from Trump winning the popular vote and losing the election. The final margin in PA is about 150k, 80k in Michigan, and 30k in WI. It's not out of the question to think that ~260k voters (0.18%) made up their mind based on that.

 

Boy Crisis sounds like it could be the name of a sick Queercore band
