  • I’m not going to say they’re not real or not sentient. But I will absolutely say that they are selfish. They lack the empathy required to understand how things will affect others. They lack the willingness to sacrifice for the greater good. They lack the humility required to understand that they could be wrong, and the critical reasoning required to change their views in the face of new evidence.

    Almost every conservative I’ve ever met is either extremely rich or lives in microcosm. Hell, I’ve got extended family that have never travelled outside of their hometown and anything foreign or different to them is either ridiculed or shunned.

    They want a social hierarchy, and they want their place in it preserved. God forbid people get equitable standing.





  • I’ll see if I can boot it up and send you the output later. It’s been awhile. If I can get it working, I’ll ask you to give me a bunch of inputs (speed, trajectory, altitude, etc) and I’ll send you the output. I had the speed and trajectory calculated every 0.1s so it was relatively accurate. I was planning to add in boosters and parachutes, but I never got that far. The best I can. Give you os how long it takes to plummit into the ground and at what speed lol…

    It was pretty cool as it would correctly show orbits and the effect of atmospheric drag if you didn’t fully descend in the first orbit around the planet, so you’d just see it loop around several times until it bled off enough speed to eventually descend into the atmosphere. I think I managed to get coreliolis effects added before I stopped messing with it.



  • I think that’s sort of the point. Sort of a two pronged approach…

    On one hand…The US Oligarchs are running out of cheap labor. This is literally their solution. Force a ban on abortions and contraceptives and you’ll see a spike of pregnancies, the unwanted children will hinder their unready families from better opportunities, and pretty much force them to work lower paid and hourly positions.

    On the other hand, by forcing more US citizens to have kids, you’ll have cheap labor, allowing you to ban “illegal immigrants”.





  • I’m shocked that this still exists. I would have thought that Nazi Germany would have done everything in their power to see that it was erased.

    Edit: Holy shit! The history of this!

    From Wikipedia: "Censorship laws were enacted in reaction to films like Anders als die Andern and by October 1920 only doctors and medical researchers could view it. Prints of the film were among the many “decadent” works burned by the Nazis after they came to power in 1933. "

    Also:

    “This film, along with other moral and sexual enlightenment films, incited a cultural debate in Germany.[5] Shortly after the premiere, conservative Catholic, Protestant, and antisemitic groups started to protest and disturb the public screenings.[10] Conservative and reactionary sides called for a reintroduction of censorship policy, claiming that they wanted to protect young people.”

    “In response to this controversy, censorship laws for cinema were re-launched in the Weimar Republic. These new film censorship laws were entitled the Reichslichtspielgesetz (Reich Cinema Act), and they were reinstated on May 12, 1920.”

    “The judgment was that the film was biased towards Paragraph 175 and thus presents a one-sided view, confuses young audiences about homosexuality, and can be used for the recruitment of underage viewers to become homosexuals.[10] The film was banned in several cities, including Munich and Stuttgart.[11] Many copies of the film were destroyed after the film was banned and performances were restricted, only being allowed to be shown to preapproved groups such as doctors and other medical professionals in educational and scientific institutions.”


  • I’ve seen a lot more goofy statements like this, to the point that it feels purposeful. Find a small article that’s growing, about a topic that people are interested, and make totally incorrect statements about “Dems” and then just shuffle off when challenged on them.

    Democrats wholeheartedly support unions, advocate for the rights of workers, and support the rights of the people, whereas Conservatives do not. They take a more business-oriented stance that fights against unions, providing better results for business owners.
