War Room Lounge v136: I Have No Mouth And I Must Ooof

LOL at any of you yanks have a conversation about syrup. This is it BTW.

That's savagery like bagging milk. Maybe that syrup is amazing, but you have to get out a metal punch and a tube & funnel, like it's Appalachia in the 1960s.

It's impossible to find over here.

Ha, sports is so boned right now that CBS is going to give 4 one-hour coverage slots to a disc golf pro tour event. Post-production, but still.

1970s / 80s Quebec but close enough. You open it the same way as a tin of apple juice. No funnel required.

The next best this to going sugaring off and almost sucking the sap right from the tree!!!!

Is sucking from a tree in the forest a Canadian rite of passage? I heard this was true confirm/deny?

That's for kids. To be a real man you have to catch a beaver.

No that’s not right. The correct right of passage is sticking your WEE HOO inside of a glazed donut.

How does one make beaver syrup?

Spoiler

I assume the answer is "syruptitiously"

First you have to find the right female member to harass on a forum with your WEE HOO, donut included.

Figuring that out is the challenge.

Lounge Lizards, give me your thoughts on this.

I've seen a couple of liberal (i.e. not socialistic or anti-imperialistic, but staunchly pro-choice, anti-Trump, pro-RBG) friends share this chart. Upon further review, it's been shared over 8,000 times.

In short, I think this is fucking atrocious bothsidesist nonsense that likely does far more to amplify problems in discourse than it does to solve them, since it incorrectly analogizes left/right slanted sources as counterpoints and by virtue of the fact that consumers of right-wing sources are demonstrably unconcerned with bias anyways.

Probably the single worst placement is the Washington Times. According to the chart, it's roughly comparable to CNN in terms of bias and analysis. This is beyond absurd. The Washington Times is an expressly partisan outlet that was created to combat the supposed liberal bias of all other major media outlets.

Similarly, Townhall and The Blaze are grouped as better outlets in terms of bias and quality than MSNBC (accurate and original reporting) and Jacobin (high-level partisan analysis).

Both. sides. ism.

@Limbo Pete @PolishHeadlock2 @Kafir-kun Because I feel like tagging people but don't know anyone that is specifically relevant.

Yet you could get someone across the aisle to challenge your post with other placements on that chart. Your post about this chart reinforces what I've seen. I've seen this chart or variations of it for years. You mention "both sides", but I've seen "both sides" upset about placements on the chart. I think that proves the chart mostly correct in regards to bias than it does disprove it. Mainly because I can't remember a single liberal or conservative say the opposite in regards to their side when referencing this chart.

Well they have premium segments but calling a BMW 318 or a Audi 4a a luxury car is a bit much.
I would definitely claim a mid range SAAB or Volvo is more luxury than those cars.

what.... you can’t be serious what country are you in?

UK

god tier : Rolls/Bentley/Aston etc
Luxury : Audi Bmw Merc
Luxury but lesser wanted : Volvo VW Lexus
Best of the rest ; Ford/Vauxhall

Yeah, except neoliberalism is also a side, and they've just annointed their propaganda institutions as lords of the universe. One of Lenin's best quotes is that the Economist is a magazine that speaks for British millionares. That quote has now been shown to be totally inaccurate. It's a magazine that speaks for British billionaires.
