MBS had to do an emergency crash purge to root out a conspiracy against him. That was after his father made fundamental changes to what was in effect the Saudi Constitution. It seems like he’s a smart guy, and he pulled it off. But none of that was easy or safe, and there were a lot scenarios where the whole thing could have turned into one of the more lurid Call of Duty sequels.

I suggest you also look into voice-to-skull transmission, which 20 years ago pretty regularly appeared in Popular Mechanics and various military technology magazines as a promising new technology, until all mention of it suddenly and abruptly ceased.

But the Soviets are a state actor with a state intelligence apparatus, not random schmoes in the public.

People here will know that I’m not the always the biggest fan of Israel, but I am an absolute sucker for any sad song and Hatikvah never fails to make me cry.
Looksmaxxing is also a return to the mean. Men throughout history have always worked on their bodies, vainly concerned themselves with their physical appearance, hid disfigurements, worn jewelry and makeup. Paul was already complaining about this 2000 years ago.
The entire male aesthetic of the 20th century was a temporary blip created by Anglo-American Protestantism (emphasis on the American, late 17th century English Protestant guys loved their fancy wigs and blush), and mass military conscription (long hair and beards aren’t good for trench lice and gas-mask seals). And also because Capitalism, Communism, and Fascism were all glazing the aesthetics of the working class for different reasons.

Unfortunately I’ve developed a pretty serious working and social life addiction lately that has spiraled out of control, and it’s starting to affect my normal healthy routines like day drinking, binge masturbating, and shitposting on a Singaporean Harry Potter fan-fiction message board.

I’m sorry, I actually had meant to reply to another poster, and I was mostly trying got vent my spleen. The incident you described does sound much more like the type of incident one would think of as a hate crime.

Don’t get me started. Here’s 90 percent of “hate crimes”:
- An African American homeless man and a Hispanic homeless man get in a shoving match over who gets this particular corner of skid row for their cardboard box.
- During the fight, the African American man calls the one tramp a “spic” and the Hispanic man calls the other tramp a “nigger”
- Now this misdemeanor bum fight is a federal hate crime and both the poor bastards are facing five years in federal prison instead of the three days in jail they deserve.
They did the this with Omar Mateen in Orlando, trying to make it out like some homophobic hate crime rather than an Islamist terrorist attack. Meanwhile we have notes indicating by Mateen indicating that his original target was Disney World, and testimony from the bartender about Mateen bufuddedly asking him five minutes before the shooting about why there don’t seem to be any women in the club.

They’re using the lady-boy geek show to distract you from what’s really going on.
- The USS Lincoln is stationed in in the Persian Gulf.
- The ceasefire with Iran breaks down.
- There are multiple days of fighting with the IRGC.
- The IRGC claims they hit an American carrier with multiple ballistic missiles and severely damaged it.
- Suddenly the USS Lincoln just has to haul ass out of the gulf, and the toilets are so shitty that we need evacuate the ENTIRE CREW just to perform the “maintenance.”
- Uhh…uhhh… LOOK EVERYONE shitty toilets and ladyboy cock yuk yuk! Pay no attention to the actual aircraft carrier!

Well, I mean an abusive childhood background is pretty textbook for any kind of serial killer or spree killer. Getting three for three might be a bit rote but it’s not unrealistic. I’ve never read the book though.

Which concepts tend to get you confused? Cell biology, the complicated biochem stuff, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, Punnet squares?

I’m not trolling, I don’t joke about dead children. As for improbable and inflammatory, I don’t see how it’s worse than anything else MSNBC has decided is heresy.

The Waltons were a liberal bette noire for decades. So were oil magnates, back when they were moving fast and breaking things.

Hollebeq talks about this, and how the sexual revolution was the social equivalent of post-Soviet shock therapy, creating oligarchs out of a few and paupers out of many.

She’s an MKULTRA victim, like most mass shooters. Notice how like most mass shootings this is perfectly engineered to push some malevolent political or social angle.

The algorithm knows that if it gives you peaceful content at night you’ll fall asleep and stop scrolling. So it gives you rage bait to jolt you awake.
