Pretty sure amnation.com is proud to be racist, except they say "racialist"---proud "racialist" Laurence Auster wrote for them (and yes, if you're wondering from his surname, he was raised Jewish but converted to Christianify and somehow he still reached out to Neo-Nazis because gently caress him that's why)

RideTheSpiral posted:I dunno. I find that whole poster pretty confusing. Are they suggesting we go all the way to Northern France for some weird space thing that is not described at all? They clearly took two half-sheet ads and clumsily pasted them together as a full sheet. La Coupole is cool as hell; it's an air and space/World War II museum in an abandoned Nazi bunker. The bottom half is more general "come to France on the ferry" stuff, which doesn't get you to La Coupole (you have to drive a bit from Calais). But why didn't the person just loving Google that poo poo, seeing as they had access to the Internet? Score: French tourism advertising 0, that person 0.

It seems pretty clear Wakefield fabricated some data, given his refusal to turn over samples for retesting and the inability of other researchers to replicate his supposed results. This gives some perspective on the relation of that study to Wakefield's supposed research data. Agree that Goldacre's coverage (both in the book and on the blog) is excellent.

"Tulpa" is a Tibetan word. The plural is not "tulpae". Tibetan doesn't have plural forms of nouns---you either know from context, from the sentence having no definite article, or you include a plural demonstrative marker. (The latter being like the difference between "I bought a sheep" and "I bought these sheep" in English.)

The Gosnell case wasn't covered widely until recently because the court imposed a gag order. It's not because the media loves abortion or hates black people (or loves black people, I honestly can't figure what the person talking about race was trying to imply).

Yeah, a lot of those are true. In addition to the ones already mentioned, a tea solution soothes sunburn, ironing paper (though brown paper, or a cut-open paper bag, are better) over spilled candle wax will transfer the wax from fabric to the paper, salt lifts red wine stains, vinegar rinse can help some types of dry scalp, Preparation H for puffy eyes is a classic beauty-pageant trick.

We have a "punch-buggy" style game that revolves around spotting kilts, inappropriate hats (fedoras, top hats, tiny lady hats), goggles, waxed mustaches, ponytails on dudes, man-updos, and other sartorial blunders. I think a guy with a top hat, goggles, ponytail, and waxed mustache wearing a kilt, no shirt, and a cape and riding a unicycle is the ultimate winning hand in this game. The saddest part is that, since I live in Cambridge, it is possible this magical thing could occur at any moment.

Noblesse Obliged posted:Wait, wasn't it Lincoln that brought in the first income tax? There was an income tax enacted in 1814 to pay for the War of 1812, but it never went into effect because the war ended in early 1815. The next income tax was instituted in 1861 to pay for the Civil War. There was a peacetime income tax in the 1890s as well.

Sagebrush posted:Yeah I think the federal income tax that we currently pay was put into action by Woodrow Wilson. Taft started the ball rolling, actually. He proposed a national tax in 1909, Republican senators put the 16th Amendment into play, and it was ratified by 1913, so signed into law by Wilson.

Gross Dude posted:Basically because of the Southern Strategy Although the Southern Strategy certainly explains why the current Republican Party is committed to courting an Evangelical Protestant, anti-immigration, largely white base, the "the Republicans used to be liberal and the Democrats used to be conservative" shorthand is a huge oversimplification. Throughout the history of the two parties, each has shifted position on many issues. The Republican Party was created to bring together the remains of the Whigs and the "Free Soil" contingent of the Democratic Party during the 1850s, specifically as an anti-slavery party. During Reconstruction and through the "Gilded Age", the Republican party was pro-expanded infrastructure, pro-international involvement (to the point of colonialism with the Spanish-American War), and pro-business but also pro-regulation ("trust-busting", etc.). Some of these we would associate with today's Democratic party, particularly the emphasis on government-funded infrastructure and business regulation, but other big planks of the Republican party in that era were Prohibition and reduced immigration.

So the newspaper horoscopes would be all "Virgos: this is a good day to cut your hair! Libras: try to control your temper. Moon Children: be open to new things!"* all of these words are nonsense

LaughMyselfTo posted:What's the bad part of the Hitler picture? Is the idiot supposed to be the guy everyone's responding to? Because "Hitler was a human being, stop trying to write him off as an anomalous, inhuman monster" is a valuable sentiment that more people need to hear; it's just too easy to ignore history's horrors by pretending they're not a thing normal people do. The  about how "the 'six million' number isn't just Jews" thing (which is completely wrong; it's six million Jews, five million other 'enemies of the state' like Rrom and Sinti, gays, people with disabilities, trade unionists, etc.) is definitely idiot on Facebook.I also don't see how "Hitler killed gay people, too" or "He thought he was saving his country" are relevant to the point you're making, which is an excellent one. If Facebook Idiot was trying to make that point, he's undermining his own argument. AlbieQuirky has a new favorite as of 04:15 on Aug 20, 2013 |

Her son is the one in the middle, his father is black (there's an interview out there with him too.) So a black kid, a mixed-race kid, and a white kid; it'll be interesting to see how the FB racists spin that. In court today the white kid claimed to be the shooter. So the guy who "knew" was half right in his racism? That's probably a really good batting average compared to his usual "knowledge".

Mister Bates posted:Incidentally, do voluntaryism and anarcho-capitalism even exist outside of Facebook? I've never encountered anyone who subscribes to either ideology in real life, anywhere, and literally every single person I've encountered talking about it on FB has been a pasty-faced white nerdy-looking high school kid, or at best a very young adult (they've also all been male). Have we as a culture finally reached peak slacktivism and created a political philosophy which exists entirely on the Internet? They absolutely exist outside of the Internet, but in the old days, their believers were confined to the small-scale and slow propagation techniques of writing smuggo letters to newspapers, phoning in to radio talk shows, and filing nuisance lawsuits. Some of the old guard still practices these traditional folkways.
