I like how people like to pretend this is a serious thread that should be kept from ever discussing anything other than their own matching world views. Stud brings a counter argument (some more valid than others) and people mass report him. Yet those same people will go off the rails for 2 pages with unrelated Jewsperging and get uppity when it's mentioned that jewsperging is dumb.
stud is a low iq drunk whose "counter arguments" (schizo ramblings) about how buildings aren't real and how the civil war was fake are just intolerably retarded

you can have people argue against the general consensus just fine (ctr does it all the time by running defense for israel in a thread full of jew hating nazis) but studposts are just dumb and pointless

Your just mad because you can't explain how to build a house with out power tools open your eyes sheeple pre-1950s america was built by the precursors we live in the shadow of the first ones.
 
What truly gets me is this.

Some 23 year old mormon went around to a bunch of "day cares" knocked on the door asking if the place was a day care, and if he could enroll "little joey". While dragging around some old man holding papers saying those places were getting funding.

All he did was knock on doors.

And it all just comes crashing down?
Mormons knocking on doors having political implications was not on my bingo card.
I used to drive for Lyft as a side hustle in the pre Covid world, and one fare was a sixtyish year old drunk gay dude who spent the entire ride soliciting me

This lead to some frank discussion and I wish I came away with some special insight, but the most I got out of it was he really hated his ex wife, and a lot of his being gay came from some deep existential “fuck you” he felt he needed to express to the world.

I’m sure it doesn’t HAVE to be that way, like some gays were molested as kids and spent their lives being warped by intrusive thoughts, but I’m just saying, as a straight man I’ve never felt aroused by the idea of getting and spreading std’s. The thought of them is the kind of sad and horrifying that you banish with mockery and contempt
I wonder how much credence the theory about stds and parasites warping human sexuality actually has. Some of it I think can stem from having a bad relationship with the opposite sex ie a poor marriage or a messed up parent.
Mexico would require complete nation-building to cleanse it of the corruption that has always been a part of their political culture, and it would be an uphill battle to reform.
Maybe it’d be better to break it up into smaller more manageable states.
The fact of the matter is we could buy it for $1 and Denmark would still be better off financially since they lose money on Greenland. So why hasn't that happened? Well here's my theory. Do you know how Apple buys parts of the Amazon rainforest and gets carbon credits for not burning it down? I bet the real reason Denmark is so hesitant to let Greenland go is along those lines and has something to do with carbon emissions commitments they made. Denmark probably counts owning Greenland as a reduction or a credit to offset increased carbon emissions in their country, so selling Greenland, allowing it to become independent, or allowing people to invest in and develop Greenland would screw up some 2035 carbon neutral agenda and expose it all as fraudulent.
They can keep their carbon credits if it matters to them
 
I summon @Diana Moon Glampers to sperg about this.

Oh no my weakness


Natives are often just fucked up as can be and there's no better example than the Americas.

Ecological Indians! They used every part of the buffalo! They're so in haaaaaarmony with Mother Nature! Except they're burning forests to make prairies, and the reason they have zero pack animals or domesticated large meat animals is because unlike every other place on Earth, they killed off essentially all their megafauna when humans moved in. Other continents killed off some of it, but they killed off very nearly all of it. North America had horses! North America had bison antiquus, which was very similar to the aurochs that eventually became the domestic ox/cow.

Whenever you hear a Jared Diamond idiot tell you about how it was geography that fucked over the Native Americans, it absolutely was not. They had scads of fertile land but they'd killed all the animals that had a shot in hell of working it.

They were cannibals and none of the North American tribes ever figured out smelting, in spite of having vast forests that could very easily have made charcoal fires capable of smelting the metals Europe had been using for millennia at the point of contact.

In both North and South America, cannibalism and child sacrifice was an ordinary part of spirituality.

If a group of explorers in a remote mountain area found a bunch of guys wearing swastikas and speaking German and hosting torture festivals where they stacked up skulls of murder victims and played games to celebrate their killings, people would say we should bomb the shit out of them. But turn those Germans into browns and suddenly the conquistadors were the bad guys.
 
He does actually contribute to the thread and posts links with archives sometimes. Give him a solid tempban if necessary, but he's not a complete shitbird.
He might smarten up with a temp ban, but his sources are part of his problem/act, and that’s the basis of why I think he’s either in too deep with the trolling or genuinely trying to be subversive and not just funny

He was clipping little bits of articles/studies and sticking them together like some thriller movie ransom note. Clearly bad faith, whatever the motivation

Like I said before, he's got a nasty habit of trying to combine everything he knows or thinks he knows, conspiracy theories and all, into one giant universal conspiracy to rule them all, and when the data clashes he usually assumes there's even deeper conspiracies rather than him being retarded. He's a living example of spurious correlation, but he does stumble onto the right things at time by a combination of luck and the sheer number of attempts made.

If nothing else, he prompts effortposters to provide meaningful and clear rebuttles, which is of great benefit to everyone else.

Those were separate thoughts that I didn’t clearly articulate

The first was a reference to some common gay fetishes like bug chasing and converting straight guys

The second point I failed to sufficiently segue into was that if you’re molested as a child, you either suppress it or ruminate to the extent that it becomes an intrusive thought that tortures you
 
So the Dilbert guy has a rule he calls the 48 hour rule.

Basically the first 48 hours things are so crazy there's no way to know for sure if you're getting the right information. The media has a direct incentive to lie (for example, CNN is literally paid by the DNC to run political research for them), Rumors can be started, narratives will be pushed, counter narratives will occur, new investigations will happen, etc. So it's best not to form a hard opinion on something for the first 48 hours. Give time for information to come out, give time for the people involved to make statements, give time for people who HAVE made statements to correct themselves, etc
I think the 48 hour role has the exception of visual evidence, although that's becoming moot in the AI era. I remember quite a few things where visual evidence came out immediately and the media spent a long time trying to pretend it was fake before having to concede it was real. One example was during the election fraud during a legal meeting video evidence was presented of the vote counters suddenly pulling out suitcases of votes hidden under the table and the Democrats were immediately trying to declare it debunked despite that being the first time that video was shown.
