  • You’re obviously in a different category than the mass migrants. I can say this because I know white collar workers who don’t speak English as good as you who have advanced degrees.

    The problem isn’t college graduates…

    It’s the boat migrants. The rape and drug gangs. The freeloaders. They’re everywhere and have a corrosive influence, and they’re unsustainable.

    The fact that some companies are forced to advertise to foreigners and yank away jobs due to requirements is background noise.

    Nobody wants the boat people. And liberals who are honest with themselves are capable of admitting that.

    Butlet me guess…

    The response will be

    “BUT I KNOW A GOOD ONE!”














  • Also relevant from the Independent:

    The video begins with “Narendra Modi” enthusiastically shaking hands with a foreign leader, before it dissolves into bursts of laughter, an exaggerated hug and a candid look to the camera mid-conversation. The English is deliberately garbled, the pauses theatrical, but the mannerisms unmistakable. As a satire of India’s prime minister it is sharp, absurd, and instantly recognisable.

    Posted on Instagram by comedian Pulkit Mani, the reel captioned “POV: How Moody Gee Greets Foreign Ministers” racked up more than 16 million views before it suddenly disappeared for users in India.

    In its place now sits a stark notice saying access to the content has been restricted “pursuant to a legal request” from the government under the country’s information technology laws.

    NOTE: It is up to @Alice@hilariouschaos.com to make the call on this… While this is free speech, there are some frames in the 18 second mark which a reasonable person would conclude are

    • Deceased Palestinians
    • Potentially minors
    • Unpleasant images of their death shared to celebrate the fact

    And so… I would personally feel this may be too provocative and fall outside of the bounds of what I would want on this webpage. I believe in free speech, but I would just not want to host p*rn or graphic images of death being used purely to sate morbid curiosity or, in this case, to celebrate victory… Particularly when we are talking what may have been a minor in one image.

    It is also noteworthy that, toward the end, we also see helmet cam footage of a fatal encounter, I believe.

    But let me also say, this is a bit of death thrown into a schizo edit and not absolutely gory content. It is entirely possible some viewers even missed all this.

    My recommendation is to delete and my advice to the OP is to avoid anything of this tone that includes imaged of deceased people…

    We pride ourselves in tolerating dissenting opinions but I don’t think this is a good look for us.


  • I think it mostly has to do with the youth being anti-Israel and the narrative there generally collapsing in the wake of the Gaza campaign.

    I think it would not sink them it they simply were pro-Israel… In fact, if they had allowed a few people to be more patently pro-Palestine and has only engaged with pro-Palestine conservatives in a polite, mature way that focused on the debate, they would still be doing somewhat okay, at least better than now, but they went scorched earth, burnt through all their goodwill, and are now running on fumes.



  • That is definitely a factor but it is also noteworthy that Seoul is surrounded by mountains so it is normal for them to actually spill over from the mountains in good years, and I think there’s also something to be said about just patterns in the weather…

    Of course in a roundabout way this is all caused by man expanding, often recklessly, but it is also the case that large swathes of Korean land is being ceded to wildlife annually as the population shrinks and people leave the countryside.

    I am not trying to tee off on green talking points necessarily, but trying to explain the situation a little more.




  • Yeah I mean… What is even going on here.

    I also understand that picking out fat cows can be stressful so maybe you want this guy to secure solid, dependable fat cows from a reliable source for you or go through the hassle of getting a cow mechanic to do a pre-inspection…

    But at some point you just need to ask for some cash for your cement needs.



  • That is amazing. Particularly that the defendants family had become aware of it.

    Of course in the abstract I had always known how terrible child mol*station is… But now that I am a father, it really hits close to home just to imagine it… Like, it’s just so monstrous and such an appalling deviation from everything good…

    I can get my head around the idea that some people had a massive conflict over money, cheating, etc., and one guy takes it too far and commits murder because he feels so wrong. It’s horrifying but the math checks out - FAF0 stuff, so to speak… “Oh, you banged someone’s wife. He got really mad. Found out.” “Oh you are a drug dealer who ripped someone off… And found out…”

    There is a logic there. It’s not good. But I undertand it.

    I will never, ever comprehend how someone can just ruin a kids life like that… For such a sick, perverted thrill…

    And I can’t imagine what it would be like to have raised a sicko who did that.
