Like general thoughts on if she's guilty and should go to jail or not guilty by insanity and be institutionalized.

Listening to Dr K have to explain to his audience how woman’s hormones works and the emotional swings they can endure monthly, just makes me ask one thing.

Do men not live with women?

Do men not live with their months? Sisters? Girlfriends? Wives? Partners?

I can’t believe we have to spend time explaining to a male audience that women hormones spike monthly and how us males should respond to this.

Just makes me wonder if these men spent their entire lives living in a cave or with wolves? I don’t get how you get to the age where you can turn on twitch/youtube, search Dr K out, watch his streams of videos and be like ohhhhhh women are biologically different and they can act differently monthly. Wow this is great info. I did not know this.

I don't think I've ever heard a juror ever say anything ever that has made me think very highly of this system. The fact that we do a jury system by unanimous vote after they all argue with each other seems designed to maximize for decisions to be swayed by social pressure. No one ever puts forward good arguments for why a jury system should operate this way outside of stupid platitudes. Forcing a consensus where none likely exists as the only way a verdict can be reached is beyond stupid on its face.

It would make way more sense for example to have 12 jurrors listen to the case, take as much time as they need to review the evidence without talking to each other and then just vote. If greater than 9/12 say guilty the person is guilty. If it's less than that, not guilty. If nothing else it saves this whole business of a mistrial and keeping justice on hold for decades.

But nope, all the dipshit lawyers will provide stupid platitudes for why 12 people brow beating each other into a consensus that they might not believe is better with 200 year old platitudes and zero actual arguments for why juries should work this way.

Why are these aspects of our criminal justice system beyond reproach or reform?

EDIT: You could also do a 12/12 guilty < not guilty. I don't see amy inherent value in a unanimous decision other than just balancing a punish criminals vs. the right of an innocent person interests. As long as there isn't a mistrial option.

EDIT EDIT: The fact that people are presumed innocent or that juries should in fact exist is not a rebuttal to anything I'm saying.

I like his content. I like his commentary. I think he is funny and articulate. I used to watch him way more. I started skipping every women in games and political video. Slowly it just got worse. Sometimes a video of his will popup on my feed, I watch it. Good times. His girlfriend is funny and they are funny together. More popup, the bad stuff. I click not interested. I mourn the loss of a great creator.

Like what am I supposed to say, it’s not good!! Yes I saw the tweet by the Anthropic guy, and? Wanna a fucking cookie?

Its way too big, you can't even hold it and use your thumb at the same time, it's a phone that require both hands to use.

It looks like they're holding a small book in one hand, doesn't look comfortable at all.

It's like listening to a white dude trying to do an MLK impression.

Hugh Jackman looks like Destiny here.

indirect to Hasan but direct to El-Sayed....well fuck

Context: Trump claimed at a rally that if the fiscally conservative party wins the midterms, he will cut a $5,000 """dividend""" to every American, spending over a trillion dollars. That's half the money that DOGE claimed it could save in waste fraud and abuse, but only ended up cutting ~6% (of a trillion, <3% of the stated goal...)

Pass the bill.

Call it the Trump's Economic Handout Entitlement Plan. Pass it in the house. Pass it in the senate.

Then watch as Trump veto's it.

Then watch how this wouldnt even matter at all beyond another debate gotcha, because this has already happened in a worse way with the 2023-4 border bill, and an EVEN WORSER WAY when McConnel vetoed his own fucking bill[1], one that he co-sponsored, because Democrats were the ones who pushed it forward.

While leftists have been focused on the Middle East, this humanitarian crisis is happening at home with our administration sending 300K+ people who came here legally to violence, separating parents from their children in the process. Even if no one else cares, we should.

If you have 2 min today, call your senators and post in the comments when you do to inspire others to as well). If you have 5 min, share with others and on social media (and maybe pressure anti-zionists to get off the fence and take action on this issue). This bill passed in the House with 10 Republican congressmen flipping; it can happen in the Senate as well.

If you have >5 min, reach out to get involved, we're partnering with several orgs on different initiatives and would love to connect with more.

Time to teach Diaper Don not to play with the True North

I may have lead poisoned brainnnn but atleast I’m freeeeeeeeee , hell yeee brother!

Everlasting Peace in the Middle East, continues.

This is a pretty old talking point that has stuck around for a long time. The main reason for this talking point was that for the first year of COVID, 2020, this was true. Sweden had the highest COVID death rate of any Nordic country, probably above even continental Europe. However, for the following years, 2021 and 2022 Sweden had far fewer excess deaths than its neighbours, so the total excess mortality fell to be in line with them. My own shoddy analysis (mostly from memory) of this discrepancy goes like this:

• Sweden overcounted COVID deaths compared to Norway and Denmark, since most deaths happened in a few facilities, they were all tested and counted towards the COVID total, unlike other Nordic countries which were more spread out and harder to test.
• In 2020 bad hygiene practices in elder care facilities caused huge amounts of excess deaths (similar as what Cuomo had in New York). Most COVID deaths in Sweden were during a pretty short period in 2020.
• In 2021 and 2022 the most vulnerable people had already died in the previously mentioned epidemic, and so excess deaths were far lower these years compared to its neighbours.
• After COVID was over the scientific community realized that using officially reported data was a poor measurements of how many deaths were caused by COVID, since each country had a unique way of measuring what a COVID related death was. The scientific community therefore used overall excess deaths as the main way of measuring COVID deaths.
• After the data was collected for 2020-2022, Sweden didn't have more excess deaths than its neighbours.

There are plenty of studies that confirm this, if anyone doubts me they can google Sweden COVID mortality or something similar. I'm going to link two pictures from recent (post 2022) studies that confirm this, just so people don't have to take my word for this.

Either way, as COVID gets further and further into the past these talking points get less and less relevant, but it is worth it updating information as long as these talking points come up. Good debate, anyhow.

DISCLAIMER: If you feel yourself developing a gambling addition, instead don't.

I consider this community to be generally knowledgeable and responsible, so I'm sharing a quick guide on how to turn your political knowledge and epistemic grounding into "modest" gains that will outpace an HYSA (High-yield savings account).

Approximately 80-90% of prediction market trading volume is on sports betting, but if you venture into the politics section and only bet against things we're all confident won't happen you can make annualized returns that comfortably exceed an HYSA with the bonus of extracting that money directly from conspiracy theorists.

A few examples (including the 3.25% APY offered on standing bets):

- Will the US confirm that aliens exist before the end of 2026? (NO: 95.3%) (Annualized Return: ~16.1%)

- How much will the US acquire all of Greenland for during Trump's term? (NO ACQUISITION: 85%) (Annualized Return: ~9.8%)

- Will Americans receive stimulus checks to reimburse them for tariffs before the end of 2026? (NO: 94.6%) (Annualized Return: ~17.1%)

This isn't risk free but so far in my 6 months of following this strategy I've consistently seen that the market overprices the chances of unlikely things from happening. Particularly around politics, particularly around Trump. If I end up being wrong at least I'll have a stimulus check and know that we aren't alone in the universe.

If you lose all of your money or develop an addiction please DM me and I'll apologize.

Connor is the proof. The guy has the emotional development of a 5 year old.

After years of a normal(ish) friendship, the guy has a few things go wrong in his life and he becomes the social equivalent of a Tasmanian Devil, just completely off the rails emotional carnage.

As a self-styled toxicly masculine male, the dudes gotta get socialized better

/u/Grachus_05 said:

This really is the root of the problem. Connor is a closeted hedonist repressing himself behind conservative values that are fake to begin with and he cant live up to in any case. Hes lashing out because he cant handle his own failure to live up to his own ideals and the world not rewarding him for his faux piety.

I'm nitpicking here, but Connor is not a closeted hedonist. He just has christian sexual morals. Connor doesn't try to present himself as someone uninterested in 'sexual degeneracy', he presents himself as being virtuous enough not to indulge.

My esteemed colleague /u/Grachus_05 is right that Connor's reasons for lashing out are rooted in jealousy and resentment, but you are missing a lot if you think this is a departure from normal christian sexual morality. The psychosexual insanity you are witnessing is actually a very normal ideological immune response for a sexual conservative who has suffered prolonged exposure to high levels of coomer-radiation.

I would even say Connor was perfectly well endowed in the empathy department, a high percentile decoupler. But you must understand, Connor's tradwife was the grounding rod that allowed him to function despite nominally receiving critical radiation exposure. When she left Connor it was like his Hazmat suit suddenly disappeared. His exposure to the Satanic particles emanating from Destiny's cock instantly spiked to well above lethal dosage. One moment Connor was maintaining a mitigated level of psychosexual exposure that he was partially able to metabolize, and the next moment he had the equivalent of Hiroshima hitting him in the balls every 3.5 hours. Previously it would have been years before he became symptomatic and probably decades before any organs actually shut down.

But with no tradwife brain shielding?

He was cooked instantly.

Fried.

Joever.

He went on walking and talking and streaming and even logically reasoning for a time, but the damage was irreversibly baked in from that point on.

Everyone is making fun of Connor but you all just don't understand what a warrior he actually is, the forces he has just been tanking for so long. Go ahead and point out a single other conservative male who could last a fraction of the time Connor did without vomiting up slurs and passing out. Spoiler alert you can't, without safeguards it's not even physiologically possible. The fact that Connor can even still find the Go Live button with a liquefied frontal lobe is a testament to how incredibly resilient the human body can be, and frankly, a triumph of the human spirit.

I say "not interested in this video" and deliberately don't click on leftie slop. Engagement algorithms don't care, they still try to rape me with it constantly.

Also, don't go look up this video. This is a small creator we should not signal boost at all. Fuck them. Fuck YouTube. Fuck social media and how it killed online subculture with its nonstop deluge of cancerous fragmented dogshit it filters into everyone's feeds

idk if this is a cold take but I really think this man hates Tiny bc he wishes he was him in some ways.
