I guess for me it’s all just a kind of sane-washing. I think the term far right is a nice way of saying “not quite full-on fascist.” The “far right” is basically in charge of the conservative party in the US. To the extent that a large part of the “progressive” party could be classified as “the right” (and many of them classified themselves that way not that long ago!). Calling something “far-“ anything denotes fringe beliefs, and I think the window has shifted far enough on the right that anything short of folks who knowingly, actively, and proudly fly fascist flags are just “the right.” The bulk of the party now openly champions ideas that were considered fringe not very long ago.
Can we just stop calling it the “far right?” By now, unless they’re actually wearing hoods or dressing in 1940s Hugo Boss, they’re just “the right.” That’s where we are.
So, just watched the episode, and it’s about what I remember. Not bad. Kind of hope they make the whole season this. Someone needs to.
I recently learned that one of the older men in my family does, in fact, have and use a poop knife.
Christ this is a nation of wusses. We deserve the shit storm we are in.
Columbia has chosen appeasement. Their president should inform their student body and faculty that there will be peace in our time, because appeased fascists have a long and storied history of working with those who appease them.
This is the word.
I would also add that the work you “put into” this is mainly in how you vote. We’re seeing the results of the “line must go up” culture in various parts of the world right now - most notably in the US. My biggest fear is that the global economy will need another Great Depression, probably right around the time I’m getting ready to retire, to realize that there is more to company stewardship that making rich people richer.
For most people, assuming they have disposable income, this is probably the right answer. One of the cornerstones of these forums is that trying to time the market is more often than not a fool’s errand unless you have inside information. Secondly, they rely on a long term view of investing. If you’re planning on retiring in 5 years, they’re a good start, but you’ll probably need more than they can offer. If retirement is still 10-20 years off, they can be very helpful in getting you pointed in the right direction. If you’re still in your 20s, they’ll have you set. I’ve often seen it said in these groups that if their strategies don’t work over 30-40 years, the economy probably has much bigger problems (like impending collapse)!
While the MAGA world sees “4-D chess,” other countries see checkers against an opponent who keeps eating the pieces.
Wow, people still watch South Park!? I’m sure they’re still killing it. Just kind of fell off the radar for me.
Columbia needs to experience a brain drain.
My favorite part of this is how hidden it all is. If you look at the page showing MS365 plans, “Classic” is nowhere to be found, except to purchase Office 2024. If you search “MS 365 Classic”, it takes you here, which says the only way to “downgrade” is to cancel your existing subscription. Like it’s a for-real plan they offer that they really don’t want people using.
Coke should sue Microsoft.
If this isn’t the most petulant, childish old man I’ve ever seen.
I would buy that jersey.
Sadly, if a certain person brought this argument to the Supreme Court, they would agree with this logic.
I see. Anyway.
This administration will welcome them back. Trump will probably give the wife the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Pretty sure Dr. Evil work a jacket made for men.
