The Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House

Dude…It’s a hypothetical

Okay, you got me. I don’t need a condom to have hypothetical sex.

China’s HSR network is (largely by necessity to make sure there is a large enough migrant workforce available to break any worker organizing)

Is there any actual correlation between HSR and labor organizing? It seems like you pulled that out of nowhere.

I don’t care about your insults

Keep saying that. Maybe you can get someone to believe it

What if China’s domestic policy is centered on public high speed mass transit, not individual car ownership?

Given the high number of school shootings and political shootings and general stocastic violence in the states, it’s more surprising that this doesn’t happen as frequently.

Kirk getting got in the middle of Gun Nut Apologia was certainly a cherry on top, though.

Don’t worry, you’re in good(ish) company.

Rob Liefield also hates drawing feet.

It won’t work. But it would be extremely funny if he’s able to wiggle out of this due to the sheer tidal wave of incompetence at all levels of government.

Didn’t Weiss round up all the people with scruples and fire them already? Or was she just firing people at random and hoping the ones with scruples would catch strays?

I care quite a bit. But, like, in the same way I care about Charlie Kirk’s neck wound.

What was once a beautiful and accessible tapestry of independent contributions

Reddit has been flooded with bots for decades. Bot engagement was a strategy the firm used to outcompetes Digg, as admins discovered any kind of engagement in comments juiced human participation.

The site’s had quality contributions in the past. I’d argue it still does, in the more neglected and low pop corners of the site. But it’s central thesis of stack-ranked engagement and search optimized meta-tagging fueled the worst kind of online participation straight back to the early days.

Reddit’s last ten years of decline has more to do with the overall decline of the Internet as a service than anything the admins have done directly. Humans have been crowded out by automated promotion tools and AI Slop everywhere. Reddit’s just a big popular spot that got hit hardest.

It was never a good site.

Still absurdly overvalued. Let me know when it gets under 20

Why you want their to be only two genders, mate? You want to be around more men, issit?

Your insults mean nothing to me.

Spilling a lot of ink to suggest otherwise

If you look at the wikipedia page on defensive gun use, you see that since it’s not centrally tracked and many go unreported

The definition of “defensive use” ranges from “discharged weapon at assailant” to “announced possession of weapon at scary noise”. So much of it relies on taking police reports at face value, no questions asked.

But the real issue IMHO, which is unfortunately not tracked AFAIK, is how many gun crimes are committed with legal guns. IE, legally purchased/owned guns by a non-prohibited gun owner. That IMHO is some data that would really help settle the issue.

I haven’t seen anything to suggest legality of ownership translates to defensiveness of use.

And none of this addresses the central problem of gun ownership - suicide. You are the person most likely to be killed by your own gun.

it’s better than the rest of TX that I can find. I’m open to suggestions.

Texas Tribune is still good, even if they’ve been on the downswing due to budget cuts. Houston Landing might have been good, but it flamed out when they couldn’t find enough advertisers or build a subscription base fast enough. I enjoyed City Cast Houston from time to time, but they’re gone now.

sigh

I forgot Propublica

They’re definitely good.

Anyone can fake a chat stream. And Owens is a notorious hack who will happily just make shit up for her rube base.

Publicly, Kirk was never anti-Israel.

Grifting requires an audience to grift to

In 2024, Kirk channeled $85M through his organization, largely via the Mercer and Adelson families. He was getting this windfall precisely because Tucker (their former leading conservative flak) had started drinking his own kool-aid.

All the other times you attacked your allies?

It’s sort of our thing

This has got to be the stupidest comment you’ve said in our entire exchange

Brother, if you don’t want to learn about this country’s history, that’s on you. But your need to scream “Stupid!” every time I say something you don’t want to hear isn’t an indictment of my intelligence, just your maturity.
