Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

"will I find love?"

"No. You should try to get a good career."

Obviously you just pound your face against antisemitism until it surrenders!

It's over, bros

For people who pay for YouTube premium to not have to hear ads, the six ad reads per LTT video might seem a bit like piracy since they accept the ad free YouTube premium video money yet play ads anyway.

"we, labour, will definitely not raise taxes and debt!"

Oh yah?

I hate it when I get cancelled by the woke left for culturally appropriating slightly too spicy food. Doesn't matter how much water I drink I stay cancelled.

"it's a wall. I love these things."

>"Gonna show up on your lawn burning a giant effigy of belle delphine, boy."

Don't threaten me with a good time.

A buddy of mine was telling me about it. It wasn't approved for use in Canada until 2022, but it was the most conventional of the choices out there.

If mandates do come back, I'll end up getting that one.

Hmmmm... 🤔

(I know, "Why the hell are you looking at that in 2023?" -- well, someone challenged me on some stuff so I dug up some official facts and figures to support my viewpoint.)

The one thing I found really confusing about this is that it implies that 50% of families in South Korea are on the road to becoming millionaires. It seems like it's more saying "among the familes that are doing well, this is the 50% level" instead of "50% of all families are doing this well"

Sort of makes you think. According to OECD data shown below, Canada and South Korea have the highest levels of postsecondary education among OECD nations. What's interesting is that both countries have problems that aren't recorded by numbers. South Korea is often called "hell Joseon" by its inhabitants because of its hypercompetitive business landscape, and Canada has big problems of high cost of living, insurmountable housing costs, and overall a really challenging environment to excel in. That suggests that these two countries have the highest levels of postsecondary education not for positive reasons necessarily, but because people feel if they don't do these things they won't be able to survive.

It seems to me like you can't really use "antisemitism" to talk about either side of Israel vs. Palestine, since both Jews and Arabs are Semitic people, but the word has never included all Semites.

On the other hand, often when referring to discrimination against Arabs, they'll call it "islamophobia", even though not all Arabs are Islamic.

And today I was talking about nihilism, and how it refers to something quite different than its etymological root seems like it should mean, "believing nothing", but instead it means "not believing in traditional meaning or values"

Is philosophy and sociology just the art of using clearly wrong words to describe things?

Be sure to turn off the lights when you're done watching it since I think you're the last one

Huhhuhuhuh 4 headed penis huhuhuhuh

That certainly would explain an awful lot...

The fact that China isn't communist has never stopped tankies before...

I mean... kinda.

Shouldn't the commie support communism? He wants to win as a socialist after all.
