Ooh... the dots are connecting.

Ah... I do love the irony when a poster can't even manage to refrain from being an asshole on their own thread complaining about how unfairly they were treated somewhere else.

And then she stopped by her favorite glory hole on the way home.

That's what he gets paid to do.

I'm entirely unsurprised that that's on Piefed.

We actually live in a world in which a corrupt psychopath overseeing a genocide unironically tries to characterize his opposition to the concession of simple human rights to the people he's mass-murdering as some sort of moral high ground.

Humanity doesn't need advances in technology - it needs advances in mental health.

I really don't think there's a single threat facing humanity that can't be traced back to the fact that there are so many people in positions of power and influence who are so obviously so dangerously mentally ill that they shouldn't even be allowed among the general public.

Mostly escapism.

I prefer stoicism, but it's tough and I'm weak and lazy. So to the degree that I have to deal with the real world, I mostly rely on some combination of cynicism and fatalism.

But as much as possible, I escape.

This so neatly sums up the blithering insanity of the right - if the data counters their preferred view and cannot be discredited, then they have no choice but to.... hide the data.

Of course he did - that's the sort of service they've paid him for.

When asked for comment, Johnson looked puzzled and said, "Constituents?"

I've always been confused by this whole concept of telling myself things about myself. I see it regularly in self-help things - "You just need to tell yourself 'I'm a good person'" or whatever - but it doesn't even begin to make sense to me.

I don't understand how it's supposed to work. I'm not two different people, so I can't tell myself something that I don't already know. If it's true and I can say it to myself, that's necessarily because I already know it. And it's not as if I can bullshit myself without knowing that that's what I'm doing.

Sorry - probably not the sort of response you were hoping for.

Netanyahu pressed on with his attacks on Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in an interview broadcast Thursday, denouncing Canberra’s “appeasement” of terror groups and their supporters in the West.


He also vowed to go through with plans to take over all of Gaza militarily even if Hamas agrees to a ceasefire and hostage release deal.

Rarely see unintentional irony that vivid on that sort of scale.

Rather obviously, the actual "problem" is that after far too many years of appeasing the most violent and deadly terrorist organization in the Middle East, Australia has finally stopped.

And now the head of that terrorist organization is pissed.
