I'd have to research it again to give the specifics but some fish are having trouble too because of birth control. All the estrogen in the water makes them develop as females in the eggs
Even Permethrin (what a lot of guys spray on cows twice a week to keep mosquitoes off of them) can increase estrogen if it gets on you and the beef contains higher levels of estrogen because of it. I used to use it, now I use Bifenthrin, which increases estrogen in fish for some reason but blocks it in mammals. Go figure.
 
Guys please, I can't be confederate pilled at work today...


Here is an interesting explination for "the left can't meme" and "words words words" in relation to BLACK DICSTRICTS

I really like this explanation because, due to the tree expanding so fast, shows how a lot of liberals can hold so many contradictory views, Their "theory" and "policy" in their head is so complicated they can't even keep track of it.

Example?
Homeless:
Right response: Homeless people have fundamental (drugs/mental health) issues that stop them from taking care of themselves. They need someone to do it for them or they will die on the street.
Left response: Homeless people exist because we aren't building enough housing, also we can't build housing in my neighborhood (L.A. NIMBY callout), also the Drugs and mental health aren't the problem, they are a symptom of being homeless. If we give them a home, they won't do drugs in it.( Also the rampant rape and forced prostitution of drugged out women in homeless encampments doesn't bother me???) We need to give these guys easier (safer) ways to inject drugs, Because like they will spread aids and hepatitis if we don't make it AS EASY as possible to do drugs. (this is partially true, but wouldn't getting them off the street and off drugs nip the entire problem?)
I'm sure if I sat here for a while I could come up with more, but I have a work meeting in like 5.

This SC hearing really cemented how retarded KJB is for me. The arguments she is making aren't even as good as the ones I could make for this shit.
I am going to keep saying it but race relations are going to take a fucking NOSE DIVE when white people get back their "in group" preference, which every other race in this country has by the way. lee kuan yew was right jar where are you.
 
Read Guns of the South if you haven't.
It's an alternate history novel centering around apartheid-supporting South Africans time traveling to the past to help the South win the war only for Lee and the South to decide to outlaw slavery anyway since they shockingly weren't all evil racists.
The time-travelers would insist that if the war was won, all the negroes be forced to go live in the North.
 
we're not all that bad.
not always. you get dopeheads, hippieboomers, moneyboomers, jewmerboomers, actorfags, colorado colonizers, idaho invaders, etc. who go out to destroy the rest of the union to escape the consequences of their cult.

but sometimes.
sometimes seeing your home, the most beautiful place, destroyed on purpose by a suicide cult molds "just wanna be left alones" into "take no prisoners".
californians that can break out of the cave make midwest republiboomers look like a fucking joke.
Stephen Miller is proof.
You're one of the good ones, but sadly I would have to exterminate you as part of the "No fucking Californians allowed" policy. Would you make a sacrifice of yourself to go willingly onto the pyre knowing that you would be a martyr against the worst Californian stereotypes?

Maybe but I doubt it. My familys slaves are still buried in the far back of the property near the river. The graves are marked with stones since slaves didn't get headstones. Me and my brother went out there one day to count them for a historical society that was taking records and we counted 304 graves back there. Slavery was a booming business that was making a lot of people very wealthy, I don't think it would've went anywhere.
 
How is it compared to his southern victory series
Better, IMO. The Southern Victory series ends up having a world that's very shallow with a lot of retarded and/or undercooked developments, not just for much of Europe but the two rival Americas too, as Turtledove ended up ignoring or marginalizing a lot of real-life Southern populist movements & the interesting ways they could've gone in a victorious CSA in favor of trying to force the Freedomite=Nazi analogy as bluntly & hamfistedly as he could. In the North meanwhile he has the Socialists become a dominant party, which in hindsight was probably a big hint at his future TDS spiral, and just shoves every right-winger he could think of into the Democrat camp even when it 100% wouldn't make sense, ex. Teddy Roosevelt (a lifelong GOP partisan) and Calvin Coolidge (libertarian from New Hampshire, a WASP Republican bastion that still voted for Hoover in 1932 IRL).

His approach to butterflying or keeping RL historical figures is also very inconsistent, Douglas MacArthur for example is replaced by a Daniel MacArthur (born in a different year with a different name, but otherwise basically acts as MacArthur, he just fights Confederates instead of the Japs) but people like Huey Long are still around. Britain is still led by Winston Churchill & Oswald Mosley and there's no indicator that they're much different from their real selves, and Russia by Mikhail II (brother of the Tsar Nicholas who actually existed IRL), but he made some random king up for France because he apparently couldn't be assed to research the real French royal claimants alive at the time (none of them were named Charles, unlike his invented king). And so on.

Guns of the South doesn't go on long enough for Turtledove's worst writing weaknesses to really start manifesting, unlike Southern Victory.

I hope it goes longer. Roll it into December, let everyone who's dependent on the government learn that its not a right, its a largess, that disappears when the funding does. Make them realize its not a magic spigot and that money comes from somewhere. Even the dumber ones will at least realize that its not guaranteed to always come, and that's enough to spur behavioral change in some of 'em.

Let the SNAP recipients relearn that its supplemental for a reason. Let the Federal workers realize that they only get paid if there's a functional government. Let the state programs that depend on federal allocation remember that the fed is not a free money printer. Only good lessons can come from this.
I hate to break it to you dawg, that’s logic and it does not apply to the overwhelming majority of parasites. I have seen their behavior personally, and it’s disgusting.
I was at the gas station this morning, the newspaper said something like “~500k could be without SNAP” and my first thought was “good, starve.”
 
I want Mamdani to win.
No, you really, really don't. I don't think you guys get it. You think New Yorkers are going to suffer because of Mamdani? Fuck no. They'll love it. They'll blame Trump, they'll double down. If it gets too shitty, the rich CEOs will leave and go elsewhere, and then vote for the next Mamdani type over wherever they move to.

LIBERALS DO NOT HAVE FUNCTIONING BRAINS. THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LEARNING FROM MISTAKES. They aren't capable of admitting they were wrong. They'll just think Mamdani was just personally not the guy, but his views and policies were perfectly sound.
 
They need someone to do it for them or they will die on the street.
That's a left idea. It denies the individual sovereignty over his own life and presupposes that some teleological materialistic universalistic collective truth exists to "take care" of them.
The right idea to homelessness would be either a pragmatic formulation along the line of stacking them away from those that don't want to have anything to do with homeless or a total sovereign one leaving it up to those directly affected by homeless population on how to deal with them
 
Everyone should read “when the music stops” for what would actually happen if snap stops for any amount of time

It’s not as simple as them starving
Well, I have this thing called “a job” that provides “income” which allows me to buy firearms as is my God given right.
Shit could go down, it’s always possible, but at least be prepared.
 
How exactly will it erase Republican seats I am out of loop
California is set to lose house a fair number of seats due to dwindling population after the 2030 census. To brace for this they want to pass Prop 50 which will allow them to redo the congressional districts early and try to rub out the few republican seats via gerrymandering. They are doing this so when the hit comes in 2030 it lessens the brunt of it, while California loses seats, what seats they have left will be 100% Dem and end up being a wash or a net positive in terms of Dem representation in the house.
 
Along with the fact that Newsom's plan is far more extreme in targeting the ERASURE of Republican seats, not just creating new ones ala Texas and that will be a huge black eye on Newsome come 2028 in terms.s of showing him to be crooked as fuck and can not be trusted to fuck over anyone in the country that doesn't support him.
Texas was able to add districts because their population has exploded. California is losing seats as people keep moving to Texas.
