Here is an interesting what if... If Ralph didn't get nuked off of youtube following the healstream and kept his vices in check he would have been a big voice in online conservative streaming and if he cleaned up his act a bit he might have some pull to get politicians.
I remember when the wokies, back when we still called them SJWs, were desperately trying to get Ralph declared the "leader of gamergate." A transparent attempt to force the consumer movement to pick a leader so they could break it's back over the wedge issue. They did the same thing with EVS and Comicsgate.
 
Dearborn, Michigan. The call to prayer echoes through the city. (The call to prayer is being broadcasting from the Karbala Center, Warren Avenue and Greenfield, Dearborn)SnapInsta.to_AQO6f9FOI0y60ZkfGoevFkkKDOJXu3h_dnVRLQg48xMqgD1eIulMhNKRb4a-37TcEX0i6En-sS2v7sVuz...mp4
Its been a few hours but I thought back to this and realized something.
This is where the line will be drawn. This is where "as long as it doesn't affect me" ends. Normal working people going about their day aren't bothered by the sight of a woman in a burqa, even if they may find it unusual. They will however find their morning routine disrupted by the prayers to Allah. The veterans who fought in the middle east waking up to the sound of Islamic prayer being broadcasted across the town he grew up in. The kids who wake up early will hear this blaring as they take the bus to school.
Once this catches mainstream attention it will blow up. This is too far, way too far.
 
I think Baltimore is like the largest money spent per student in the country. And its niggers.
HOLY SHIT, you arent fucking kidding

Is that... per year? Goodness I hope not. but even if its total thats FUCKING CRAZY where is that money going? Fuck is that like k throught 12th? Are they dipping the textbooks in gold?
 
Arm provides the basic skeleton of a core design, not a whole chip. Another thing Amazon engineered is, you know, the whole entirety of AWS. Also their own shipping company.
Yeah, about that... those engineers (who weren't Bezos, since you're so eager to point out that employees do the heavy lifting and not the guy at the top) are long gone: https://kiwifarms.st/threads/amazon...sent-aws-down-the-spout.231316/#post-22815143

And "their own shipping company"? Last package I got from them came from Fedex. Before that, UPS. The post office delivers the rest. lol where are those fancy drones they've been bragging about for years? Why aren't those delivering packages en-masse yet?

You can cry about it, but claiming Amazon hasn't hired any engineers to design things just makes you sound like a retard.
Who's "crying"? Nobody said they haven't hired any engineers. I said I didn't see any of them doing much for the betterment of mankind. Bespoke rent-a-data-centers might count in your world, I guess, but it's a far cry from building reusable self-landing rockets and functional space ships that can return astronauts from the ISS when even Boeing couldn't manage it.

EDIT: Better analogy is with Full Self Driving, which was promised to turn your car into an appreciating asset and earn you money as a robotaxi while you slept. Instead, it turned into a pretty nice driver assist feature that was something like 7 years late and wouldn't run on the $10,000 module they sold for it in 2017.
We have full self driving. It works. Legislature retardation has blocked it. Tesla's not even the only developer who's gotten it working.
 
Ok and my point is how have we decided to blame the kids for this everytime its talked about? Like they have all the control and it wasent thousands of years of strict parenting that allowed society to grow to where it currently stands to fall from.

Kids are supposed to want snacks and sweets dude, its like hardcoded, its up to the adults, specifically parents and teachers and pastors to teach them to avoid doing the easy thing that feels good.
The snacks really aren't the problem, they're a symptom. My point is that physicality has been superceded in childhood activities, and it stems from that root. Ironically, to your point, strict parenting accelerated the transition, rather than reducing it. How many horror stories do we have now of parents being threatened with criminal neglect charges for letting their kids go out and just do shit? How many stories of forced sports kids turning sour on the attempted forceful solutions must we repeat before we recognize that while a child hardly has choice, they absolutely have the ability to do nothing, to much anguish from parents who's kid just shut down and stopped cooperating entirely.

There is no single angle solution or reversion we can pursue, parents (or governments) can't just snap their fingers and delete these half century long shifts from reality, I'm just pointing out the origin of the degredation, as you asked for.

The best bet for a quick turnaround would be for kids culture (for the sake of this discussion, its important to remember they've got their own little social behaviors in their schools and shit) to reembrace bullying and consider fat kids to be shitty, which would be dependent on media unpozzing itself and schools unpozzing themselves. You can't effectively bully in the current state of things, and bullying is a time honored, well proven tradition for unfucking anyone.
 
From the polls, Cuomo has no chance unless every Sliwa and undecided voter votes for him which isn’t going to happen because he’s a radical left lunatic who is indistinguishable from Mamdani except on foreign policy (which is irrelevant for a mayor).

Sliwa has a path to victory if Cuomo drops out by winning undecided and anti-Mamdani voters (since no one is actually pro-Cuomo).

That is why Cuomo should drop out and endorse Sliwa.

I wouldn't say he's indistinguishable from Mamdani. He hasn't called for the abolition of private property.

Mamdani would be a way worse mayor but I don't really care that much because I don't live in NYC and when Mamdani fucks up royally and makes everyone hate him, which will take about a year, it will serve to bolster our cause.
 
Dawg, there are people alive today that landed on the beaches of Normandy and retook Europe by force. How can we explain this degredation within living memory?
Think about how much the world has changed over the last 100 years. People used to be much more social. They actually met and did things in person. They were part of sports leagues, they went out hunting, they went out dancing. They biked. They did woodworking, machine repair, yard work. There was much less junk food. Women actually cooked real meals from fresh food. Most people didn't dine out all the time.

We all live a much more sedentary lifestyle now. We're on screens all day. People play video games. There is junk food everywhere. People don't eat real food.

If I have to guess, that money is grossly mismanaged through school unions or the local government. Add in the dysfunctional demographic and you get a recipe of disaster.

most of it is probably being given to the teachers. IMO. the teachers union is the largest scam in the country.
