At least in the USA, it is known as the Robber Barron period as the extremely wealthy monopolized everything.

I thought Patrick Boyle was a rap specialist music major?

Except Trump’s famous “They’re eating cats and dogs” line came from JD Vance. The craziest part of the debate wasn’t even Trump’s to fully own. JD Vance quite possibly is worse than Trump in regards to likability.

So if Trump drops out, who the fuck in the Republican field replaces him? Ron Desantis?

That Abdul situation completely surprised me. I can’t believe how bad a flub that was.

That’s what I’ll be meming moving forward. Not only did Trump admit to working with the Taliban, he made up fake people while doing so.

This needs to get memed and shared everyfucking where.

This is it people. We need to meme this debate. Otherwise, the fucking Republicans will forget this shit.

Thank fucking God that Kamala knew she had to be the first person to bring up Fentanyl in the debate. It was a bit round-about, but she got there and made sure to make the first strike early.

Its not quite a policy platform, but it counts. She’s recognized the importance of appearances on this very, very important matter.

Whether you agree with me or not, I think I can trust Kamala on it. I figured I should get back to you after I saw that moment in the debate early.

That’s not even a program and it certainly isn’t a link to the DNC platform either.

We don’t need catchy names.

Yes you do. This is fucking politics. Which is 99% about appearances. If you don’t look like you’re doing something, the sheep don’t notice.

You have the fucking stupid mindset that loses elections.

Morally, ethically, and pragmatically, it’s the right call to move to an actual solution.

Cool. Name the DNC’s solution.

I promise you its not as well named as “War on Drugs”.

The article points out that not a single fentanyl speaker was at the DNC.

So there currently is an appearance where it looks like Democrats don’t care.

Saying that you’re against the war on drugs in a decade where Fentanyl/ illegal drugs is the #2 killer after COVID-19 is a bad strategy that’s all I’m pointing out.

The war on drugs only wasted shit loads of money to fuel the prison labor industry.

Sounds like we need to do it better.

For all the gun deaths liberals like to talk about, these newer drugs are more dangerous and are the #2 killer after COVID-19 (and now that vaccination is widespread, Fentanyl is probably #1 now).

This can very well become a Democrat / Liberal weakness if y’all let it faster. Some kind of acknowledgement or even policy to address this large scale killer of Americans is needed.

My local radio station claimed that a Parliament member of Ukraine gave friendly fire as a reason.

It’s not confirmed by any military source yet though.

First hit on Google was this list made by some Redditor: https://www.reddit.com/r/Betamax/comments/z8cun4/films_that_only_exist_on_betamax_or_alt_editions/

In any case: the big advantage of Betamax (and VHS) was how easy it was to get home-recordings done. An entire generation of family photos / family events (birthday parties, etc. etc.) are on Betamax and likely lost.

Flash still got it good.

Consider the entire generation of 1970s and 1980s Betamax footage that is basically lost today.

When format wars snap to one side: VHS vs Betamax, HD-DVD vs BluRay, Flash vs HTML5, QuickTime vs DivX… The losing side basically loses a ton of footage.

For the most part, we know how to play Flash right now and mostly how to upconvert it or otherwise archive it. That’s not true of all formats.

This is literally an article about culture: traditional masculinity and it’s alleged effects on an individual.

Note: I think the argument makes sense. My only qualm here is that the evidence listed fails to pass my muster. I think it’s a good question and a worthwhile study. I just wish the evidence was stronger.

Foil here. Tall people suck to fight against. Skilled tall people were straight up impossible.

And I at least have right-of-way to deal with tall people. Eepee don’t got that, its all stupid hand-jabs or foot-jabs (as far as I can tell as a Foil-ist, lol).

Or perhaps there’s a simpler option here than me switching careers over a disagreement.

The simpler option is for me to ignore this paper.

Science is not perfect, especially in a field like psychology.

No kidding.

Your argument to prove the efficacy of this is basically “Trust in the decades of Psychological Research”. To which I have to say…

My Psychology teacher from High School warned me that Psychology started as a Freudian Pseudo-science, turned into a Phrenology pseudo-science to help make Japanese people look dumber for WW2 propaganda purposes, and then had a bunch of poorly done experiments in the 1950s-1980s for various political games.

Anyone who has studied anything about psychology and its history as a subject is, and should be, 100% skeptical of everything. Including long-standing (decades or even century long) traditions like… IQ Tests or Freudian Psychosexuality.

It’s just science.

Psychology has a huge incident rate into pseudo-science / fake topics. I’m sure there’s legitimate discoveries in here but I’m also sure that a huge amount of this field is bullshit.

But maybe I’m just a closted mother-lover in my subconcious who is suppressing my feelings of anger towards my father. My Asian skull is smaller than white people skulls so I can’t think quite as well as some of you out there. Let along deal with issues of statistical auto-correlation or other such issues that occur in more modern studies.

Its not the science that’s bad per se, its the politics that always get in the way. Psychology has a huge number of bad actors in it. And when the ultimate discussion point is “Look at these people… AGGRESSIVELY answering these word-game puzzles with more aggressive words. This proves that they’re more aggressive”… I’m rolling my eyes into the back of my head so hard that I’m honestly throwing this entire piece away. Its not science by my standards.

But if its science by your standards, that’s… fine I guess.

I get that we don’t want to return to the 1970s where we get children to push a button to shock animals, and then determine the length-of-time or frequency of this to use as a proxy as “aggression”. And I understand the need and struggle of modern psychologies to try to come up with modern tests that are humane and effective.

But I have severe concerns that this test isn’t testing anything at all, aside from the biases of the tester.
