10-year-old walks alone a mile away from Georgia home, leading to his mother's arrest
  • Bootlicking bastard. How dare you defend the cops for handcuffing this poor mother whose crime is apparently letting her kid have a childhood? "Peaceful interactions turn violent"? Pizza delivery drivers are more likely to have violent and fatal interactions with the public than cops, should they handcuff us "just in case" before handing us our order? God you bootlickers disgust me. Not ONE of your positions is upheld by facts. It's all "feelings", feelings like "the cop felt unsafe so he unloaded 2 full clips into a black kid playing tag". It's all a big tower of fascist feelings.

  • How America Is Losing The Rocket Wars
  • Weird. You're saying a country actively in a war is making more bullets than a country that isn't at war at all? Wow, next you'll tell me people eating food chew 3x as much as people not eating food.

    Production rate != Manufacturing capacity. Just look at Russia's production rate now vs before the war.

    Damn it's unbelievable how dumb you tankies are. You think you can just say stuff without thinking for even a fraction of a second about it first.

  • How America Is Losing The Rocket Wars
  • LMFAO. Russia? Superior military manufacturing capability than the West??? God that's funniest thing I've read in a month. China? Absolutely true that by some measures has superior military manufacturing capability than the US, or the EU. Russia is a joke, please keep this completely detached from reality content to hexbear or whatever tankie community your main account is in.

  • How America Is Losing The Rocket Wars
  • LMAO, "Russia now beat them in peer warfare". How long has Russia been trying to fight and losing against a small country with basically no military budget?

    This article is WHACK. Even if it was true-ish it misses love key point. The US Military industrial complex is MASSIVE. In a real conflict, it can easily pivot to more effective technologies, especially if they're cheap and Iran has "basically open sourced them".

    I'm no US fanboy, but to call the US Military weaker than Russia after what we've seen of colonialist behaviour on both sides in the last 25 years, you'd have to be completely off your gourd.

  • How did this happen?
  • This was a race between a B student and an orangutan throwing feces everywhere. We're spending all our time talking about the questions the B student got wrong, but in the meantime we voted the orangutan as valedictorian and all he did was smear shit on the test and try to hump the microphone stand.

    No her mistakes aren't the problem. The problem is we're willing to elect a monkey to shit on everything and blame an average decent person for losing.

    ......

    Fuck.....

    A class of kids would TOTALLY elect a monkey..... We're just old high schoolers...... We're so fucked......

  • It's crazy that a 60 ton metal airplane can just fly
  • I just meant that thrust is only 1/3rd the equation. The rest is the wings that convert thrust into lift at 3 to 1 ratio. And then there is all the systems that keep it controllable and safe etc.... it's a miracle machine really....

  • Feminist celibacy movement 4B is trending in the US after Trump's win
  • See that's wild to me. If women ended relationships with Trump supporters that would be quite a statement.

    However it's mostly left leaning women joining 4b. 52% of white women voted for Trump, even more when you include those who stayed home. That means more conservative relationships, marriages, families and fewer leftist ones. It's almost what conservatives want with all that pureblood talk that the non pure bloods stop reproducing.

    Whatever at least it's bringing attention to the cause for now so that's worth something.

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • Dude if you're on the left and you alienate boys and men you're not alienating them from the patriarchy. You're alienating them from the LEFT.

    The patriarchy does it's own alienating by being shitty to them by forcing them into toxic ideals masculinity and cutting them off from their humanity. We have to provide a welcoming community. We PRIDE OURSELVES on providing a welcoming community for victims of the patriarchy. For some reason some people on the left think that just because the patriarchy is topped by a small group of men that the rest of the men can't be victims or don't otherwise deserve a welcoming space where they can work on dismantling the patriarchy with us.

    We're destroying the pyramid from the bottom. We can only destroy the systems of oppression that affect US. If men don't do their share we'll never get to the people at the top. They'll always be out of reach.

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • The fighting ensures we all stay intellectually honest. It's a competitive market of ideas that creates positive, progressive ideology. The fighting is also internal, when one of us is fighting the systems that oppress us we all line up to help in solidarity.

    Miss my with your pseudosuperiority and go crawl into whatever hateful right wing hole you call home.

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • Boooo. As a father of boys and girls it's a HARD world for both right now. Completely different fights but let me tell you that my boys are suffering as much as my girls due to patriarchal expectations for their behaviours and the consequences of not complying.

    The patriarchy is the problem, not boys. Don't let your fears push you to hatred of a whole group of people that are just trying their best to be good people. It's hard for young boys to resist the messages of the patriarchy, that was half the message in the Barbie movie. We can hate the behaviours without hating boys. We can solve the problem by tackling boys and men's issues caused by the patriarchy and dismantle it together. We can't dismantle the patriarchy by alienating, scapegoating, and allowing ourselves to hate so much of the population.

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • Lol "I don't want to be a right wing asshole, I'm only doing this because you hurt my feelings"

    Dude that's the weakest thing I've ever heard. Being in the left means constantly fighting and being attacked by other leftists for being the wrong kind of leftist. That's what it takes to be on the left and you never had it, it's what the kids call a skill issue.

    Go be a right wing asshole all you want but don't pretend you didn't want it all along!

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • That's exactly it. The right is telling them they STILL have to be impossibly during stupid brutish and horny. That's basically what an "Alpha Male ™" is. Only the left has an escape for that toxic definition of masculinity, I'm frankly baffled at how we're losing the fight for boys and men. I've never seen the left fumble so badly. But there are a lot of great men on the left working HARD to fix that, so I have hope for the future

  • This is why women choose the bear
  • The left has TONS for men. You think men thrive under the patriarchy? Not being able to express emotions, not being able to express fraternal love, not being able to pursue "womanly" or"gay" passions. Men have rarely been more alone and less happy than they are now and left wing ideology can free them.

    The left just doesn't reach out like the right does. We could do a much better job.

    The online left also doesn't do a great job calling out sexism and other behaviours that uphold the patriarchy when it victimizes men. That's pretty shameful and it's hard for men to feel safe online in leftist spaces. In person I've never had a problem and people have been wonderful. But it's a barrier to overcome that isn't there on the right. The right says "you're amazing because you're a man, join us and regain your rightful amazing place that your deserve". That's a hard message when one side says you're amazing as you are and the other, the side that prides itself of being open and accepting, is proud to tell you you're worse than a bear and you shouldn't feel hurt by that because it's what you deserve.

  • Does anyone know what this flag means?

    I saw a convoy of about 30 cars on the highway back in October. I looked it up and found nothing. Then I see a Reddit post in /r/vexillollogy with the same flag and no useful answers.

    It's so weird that people bought like 100 of these flags and there is no info on them at all!

    I flipped the picture to make the flag the right way.

    Did company profits fuel inflation? Bank of Canada researchers say no - National | Globalnews.ca

    The laughable Bank of Canada report even includes the line >Why did this increase in markups not contribute significantly to inflation? We show that markup growth reached its highest level because of a contraction in firms’ costs [...] during the pandemic-related public health interventions

    So when their costs go down they keep the prices the same and pocket the difference, BoC report verdict "profit growth without inflation". So what happens when costs go back up?

    >We observe a mild contribution of markup growth to inflation in 2021, partially explained by demand rebounding faster than costs. However, the fact that markup growth fell to zero the following year indicates that firms were likely smoothing out their price increases [...] rather than leveraging increases in market power.

    So when the costs go back up, they pass 100% of the cost to the consumer and keep their new higher profit margins (no change in markup). BoC verdict "the inflation has nothing to do with profit growth". Amazing!

    If industry follows this "price ratchet" mechanism profit margins can go to infinity "without causing inflation" according to BoC. Absolutely galaxy brain levels of economic genius.

    They really think we're idiots.
