Once your kid starts getting older, if you aren't applying shame when they unintentionally show themselves off you are doing something wrong. Its probably one of the most important early childhood "boundaries" too establish.
Them: "Teach boys not to rape!"
Also them: "I'm teaching my son that its okay to expose himself in public!"
Some good news on this front BTW, the Virginia Republicans have gained considerably in the polls since the revelation of Jones' bloodthirsty messages & the consequent Democrat quadrupling down. (Archive) According to the new Trafalgar poll cited, both Republicans Earle-Sears (incumbent Lt. Governor running for the gubernatorial seat) and Reid (Lt. Gov candidate) have significantly closed the gap with their Democrat opponents, while the Republican AG Miyares is now surging well ahead of Jones. This follows the Dems' own internal polling showing Jones to have fallen to just one point ahead of Miyares, and independent voters slightly favoring the latter, earlier this week. (Archive)

What's neat about Virginia, is as much as that state leans blue due Richmond + Norfolk/VABeach + DC area; Virginia dems always seem to fucking act like they are in a much more deep-blue state (i.e. NY, CA) and/or with much more "fortified" elections (i.e. NM, NC) than they are actually.

It's probably a result of fart-huffing in the DC area where they all think that normal people think the way a left-dem does, so they are less careful about optics and will pick retarded policies like "let transgenders anally rape your daughters" then act fucking shocked that they lost a state election.

Maryland on the other hand, is so far gone thanks to Balmore + Anapolis + DC area and obnoxious gerrymandering, that they can get away with fucktarded policies - yet even the machine that birthed fucking Nancy Pelosi seems to know that they are just a few rural fisherman/crabber towns away from a surprise upset if they aren't careful.
 
I swear if Republicans win Virginia again, due to Dem incompetence and bad OPSEC, I'll laugh.
I think there's still 3 & 1/2 weeks left in the race (more or less), if this trend continues they actually might indeed win (and at the very least it seems they've blocked off the chance for a clean Dem sweep of Virginia's executive offices). It's plenty of time for the Republicans to make Jones' retarded bloodthirst and the rest of the Democratic slate's demented unwillingness to disavow him stick.

Apparently the one & only gubernatorial debate has already happened, and the Democrat candidate Spanberger (a glowie) chose weak deflections & smug silence when confronted by both the moderator & Earle-Sears about trannies in women's bathrooms/sports & schools (the same issue that killed the campaign of her predecessor, Terry McAuliffe, in 2021) and Jones' texts. (Archive) Earle-Sears has of course made ads highlighting Spanberger's responses, or lack thereof. I've heard Earle-Sears is a maladroit campaigner and out of alignment with Trump/MAGA, but if she can fasten this anchor around Spanberger's neck & sustain the momentum she's just gotten, then running on a Hydean 'my opponents literally want you DEAD, your kids BRAINWASHED and RAPED, and they think it's fucking hilarious' message might just be enough for her to overcome those disadvantages after all.



 
I think there's merit to having some kind of discussion in this thread and not just locking up like an autist anytime someone we disagree with comes in here and says something. Not that I'm advocating threadshitting, people should use their own best judgement, but this is still a discussion thread I think. As someone here stated yesterday, I paraphrase "Agreeing to disagree is super gay, have a conversation like a man"

If someone came here and posted a well thought out message that most here disagreed with it would produce the discussion that you want. The problem is that when some retard posts garbage or even outright bait, the only thing to do is tell them to fuck off or to stop being a nigger. Anyone who isn't a a complete sped will stop to consider their behavior or horrible take and perhaps use the experience to improve in some way. However, trolls only want engagement and once they know how to get it, will continue doing whatever it is that gets them that attention. There is no way to know a priori whether a poster is a troll or some poor autist, so the perfect world where people ignore the trolls cannot exist. Bad actors can only be punished after the fact to prevent them from continuing their inappropriate behavior.

What's neat about Virginia, is as much as that state leans blue due Richmond + Norfolk/VABeach + DC area; Virginia dems always seem to fucking act like they are in a much more deep-blue state (i.e. NY, CA) and/or with much more "fortified" elections (i.e. NM, NC) than they are actually.

Trump gutting the federal bureaucracy in DC might go a long way to flipping the state back. The group of parasites that exists off the US taxpayers are naturally going to vote Democrat. Eliminating them so that they fuck off back to some other bughive will cause the state to swing back towards Republicans even if nothing else changs.
 
heavily recommend looking into David Foster Wallace's essay E Unibus Pluram and how it critiques Post Modernism. Just replace the word television with social media. Everything is hidden behind a layer of knowing irony and it kills society.

Kiwifarms/channer culture is postmodern in its design.
Both of these are correct.

The Tumblr Files are also a solid read on the effects of post-modernity on the internet as a whole, in particular the past decade or so.

 
Soybeans are unironically serious business. I've been wondering how less of a market for soybeans will effect crop rotation, as soybean plants nitrogenate the soil. Less soybeans -> less nitrogen -> lower yields for other crops, although this would be a multi year problem.
There are other plants that put nitrogen into soil. Like tubers. You can do a lot with taters.
Excellent choice. The first season is honestly more of a comedy, but the show just gets better.
It is unironically hilarious. I get it was on cable, they could get away with A LOT, but holy shit HBO, 2nd episode is about jews, one episode has a black woman that gets some racism- 1999 was something else lol.
It's been very interesting watching the Democrats implode since Trump won. They had 8 years to solidify their gains with Obama, but they've thrown it all away. Remember when Florida used to be a swing state? Remember how the Democrats historically controlled the House post-WWII? It was also patently obvious they cheated in 2020 when there were 20 million fewer votes on election day in 2024. That gap closed weeks later due to mail-in ballots and states like California continuing to count forever. I know people hate Trump and whatever, but it's hard to look at the political future of the Democrats when all they have are Abuela and an illiterate Ken doll.
They destroyed their political higher thinking when Hilary lobitimized all the fresh growth. All they have for politicians now are radicals.
The Trade War is over. Xi caved like a bitch:

I mean it's Virginia, land of the glowies. They need to hammer the YWNBAW train and the liberals are insane train. Virginia is very lukewarm as a state. If the Dems look insane, the GOP wins.

I wonder if the old guard like Clinton and Obama have realized that their actions have destroyed their party and it continues to burn their legacy?

Probably. Not like they'll admit it though. Or care. They are rich and have their mansions already. They aren't really affected by it the same as the party itself is

Tumblr was a bio lab, it’s where we kept all the viruses but then they breached containment and infected the air supply.

"Good news". This is the future of the Republican party Trump and MAGA dream of.

What can I say, I'm not a terminally retarded groyping faggot so yes, I would indeed favor flawed black Republican Earle-Sears over white glowie princess (and #1 fan of both the bloodthirsty nigger Jones in particular, and troons in girls' locker rooms in general) Spanberger. And if it comes down to it as it likely will, JD Vance with his jeeta wife over the cuck Newsom with his white one (who is also Harvey Weinstein's former cum dumpster) too.

(Fuck Vivek though, I always kill that shithead for Wraithguard. Ohio, you can surely do better than him!)
