Fun fact: a lot of these attempts backfired when circumcised men mistakenly thought that they were now immune rather than just less likely to get HIV, so they had more unprotected sex and the infection rates actually increased.

So I’ll finally be able to afford a house?

😂 😂 😂 never heard this one before

So the point of the comment was the relative strength of leftists during the era, not whether/how powerful the fascists were

There were huge countervailing forces then. New Deal US. Soviet Union. Socialist parties gaining power the world over. The rise of fascism was limited to a few powerful countries, not systematic like it is today.

To me it feels like every year a new joke from Rocko’s Modern Life that I didn’t get at age 8 becomes relevant.

There’s a whole section in The Art of the Deal devoted to how a Saudi guy had a nicer apartment than him and how he built a whole apartment building so he could have a nicer $50 million penthouse.

The fake reason he gives for this suicidal policy is aesthetics, right? So he prefers the sight of a coal fired power plant to wind turbines? Or should I just give up trying to understand?

The objections are about its personality? Who cares, as long as it’s good at coding? That’s the only thing it’s actually useful for.

This thing is pretty wild. Relatively affordable too.

The thing all of you militarist posters have in common is you’re completely convinced that you have the correct position and you manage to come off as arrogant as well. Enjoy your globe-spanning military industrial complex that wages forever wars and sanctions genocides.
