pronunciation is secondary if you get the concept
That’s a really basic form of intellectual generosity, and intellectual generosity is one key to effective critical thinking.
The idea is the only thing that really matters.
People who reject an idea out of hand because they find fault with the presentation (for example) actually do themselves a disservice.
HOAs exist solely so that priggish twats who obsess about what the neighbors are doing can actually throw their miniscule weight around rather than, as they should be, being relegated to merely standing in their living rooms, glaring through their windows and bitching ineffectually.
Uh huh… we already heard it all in 2024.
You need a new schtick.
Everything.
She’s a Russian stooge who’s inserted into the race specifically to split the leftist vote.
Vote for Jill Stein…
So what’s the theory here? Voting for a fake leftist with a (G) after her name is better than voting for a fake leftist with a (D) after their name?
Asking the pot if the kettle is black.
That’s Russell Vought, co-author and principal architect of Project 2025.
Or in other words, Russell Vought, fascist piece of shit.
Made doubly foul by the fact that most of the shitweasels responsible for it aren’t even taxpayers. They’re tax-dodgers.
I didn’t know there were “expert” royal-obsessed twats
I don’t think it’s so much that he’s gotten so obviously insane that more people are noticing it, but that he’s gotten so obviously insane that fewer people can keep pretending he’s not.
“The Arabs’ only motivation to stop fighting is if you take their land.”
Horse shit.
Their only motivation is to get you the fuck off of their land.
But you won’t even consider that, because you’re a greedy, self-serving, psychopathic piece of shit. So instead you kill them and steal their land, then blame them when they try to fight back.
GET
THE FUCK
OFF OF
THEIR LAND.
You fucking piece of shit.
What a weird but entirely unsurprising headline.
Thay just call it “fighting in Lebanon,” as if it’s some sort of unwelcome natural event, like flooding or forest fires
An honest headline should ar least somehow acknowledge that the actual problem is that the fucking Israeli psychopaths refuse to stop destroying infrastructure and murdering civilians in their push to steal land from Lebanon.
Trump is a perfect example of a bit of… let’s call it psychology physics.
Just like a balloon, the more an ego is inflated, the more fragile it gets.
Ken Martin - "I have made my position on this clear from day one: We must end the influence of dark money in our politics and restore power back to the people.”
No. In fact, you have made it clear, and yet again with this vote, that your position is that you must make mealy-mouthed quasi-promises to end the influence of dark money, but then consistently fail to actually do anything at all meaningful that might actually accomplish anything toward that goal.
Many (most?) people have always relied on somebody or something else to do the thinking for them.
AI can just be added to the long, long list of sources people so inclined uncritically accept.
None to speak of.
I’m pretty sure I have some from almost random pointd throughout at least a good part of my life squirreled away somewhere, but I couldn’t tell you where.
My favorite ex-girlfriend has a bajillion pictures of me, since she takes photos constantly and always wants people in them, so I was the most common subject for a time. I never even really looked at them then though, and now they’re on the other side of the country (though if they were here, I still probably wouldn’t look at them).
It’s not so much that I dislike them or anything - I’ve just never really seen the point, and never even really think about it.
Just your daily reminder that the President of the United States is not only a deranged lunatic, but an emotionally stunted imbecile as well.
Yes - they’re too busy carrying out a genocide in Gaza, providing support for the terrorists who are carrying out pogroms in the West Bank and forcibly annexing southern Lebanon.
Sort of as if Netanyahu went on camera simultaneously raping a child, cooking meth and machine-gunning his neighbors and said to Trump, “Gee, sorry. I’m stretched a little thin here, so I can’t help you blow up schools.”
And as if everybody who had the authority to do something about it all just sort of coincidentally didn’t.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” - Frank Zappa
No more huh.
We should take that to mean that everything that’s left is so explicit about Trump raping children that they can’t be redacted enough.
I guess maybe. But it’s not anything relevant.
Consider:
If someone says that 2+2=4, they’re right.
If someone says that 2+2=5, they’re wrong.
If the person who says that 2+2=4 is a blithering idiot and a compulsive liar, they’re still right.
If the person who says that 2+2=5 is a world-renowned mathematical genius, they’re still wrong.
And if you base your choice between those competing claims on the people who make them rather than analyzing the claims themselves, you’ll be wrong too.
