Over the top propaganda. Theres been a bunch of people featured in it that have already disavowed the bullshit they said in it.

Mj long proclaimed his innocence and that he was being set up from the beginning...

I wonder if there was any truth to that. I wonder If he pissed off the wrong people and if this was a character assasination hit job

 

[Trotsky]

That...that’s not the point!

My inner DM is losing his shit rn

If you have a Dennis Miller inside you, I strongly suggest you suppress it at all costs.

When your country has trials by public juries, that are selected at random and requires no educational background in law(or at all, really) to become a member, your system is already fucked.

This may seem intuitive, but I don't think it's true. If a jury moves to convict without reasonable basis, a judge can vacate. And defendants already have the option for a bench trial, so they have to affirmatively choose a jury trial. Yet conviction rates in the US are extremely high.

All in all, the jury-of-your-peers system is pretty groovy.

I haven't seen it. I know some who have ask me to turn off MJ when I put it on.

Can you elaborate on this please?

Cormier is going to finish Miocic again. Miocic's defense is poor.

I'll be Bach.

If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it.

Not much to elaborate! I like MJ. I like his music. I like his dancing.

When in a public setting and I am acting as a DJ (or a very poor impression of one), and I put on one of my favorite songs of his, someone will forcefully say "change it, not allowed, I hate that , I saw the special and believe the accusers!."

Sometimes that happens when I play R Kelly too.

Dumb.

First of all, strong central authority with the charter of a government to enforce property rights is basically the foundation of right wing thought.

Secondly: Hitler, Mussolini, Al-Saud, Pinochet.

Thirdly, Stalin was right wing in most respects. He ruled as a modern king of a feudalist society. He opposed due process, opposed gender equality (which Lenin made a serious organ of socializing society), reversed the downward redistribution of real property wealth, further neutered the worker Soviets, etc.

A better example of a left wing authoritarian would be Mao. Unlike Stalin, who repressed and terrorized through the central state apparatus, Mao urged a grass roots cultural revolution, in which authority was distinctly ground-up and decentralized to the extent possible.

Quasi Random thought of the day 2:

The question on socialized education seems to be so binary. You got people who want to wipe out all student debt and or make school after high school socialized (or "free" as some call it).

Why the necessity of the all or nothing approach? This doesn't have to be like the healthcare debate.

Why hasn't someone thrown out the idea of government subsidies? Or 1st year or two of college are free?

I think people will perform better if they have some skin in the game (i.e. paying something for their education).

I'm old and messed up, but there's a public school system. I think right now if someone goes from grade school throgh to collee that's abut 15 years of education, with right now 11 of those being socialized through taxes. It strikes me odd as only option from here seems to be binary between 11 or 15.

Way too blunt; and also if we go the route of subsidies or socializing college, it's not pragmatic for every damn bullshit course people could come up with be free. Shit should be tiered to incentive disciplines the country has a deficit in.

Students paying means that they are customers. Nobody seems to mention this fact. With the student loan system, anyone stupid enough to take on ridiculous amounts of debt can essentially do so and go to college. In a publicly funded system, funding is tied to the institution, so they tend to be quite picky. I've noticed the difference between Canada, which has a subsidized but still has mass amounts of student debt, and Europe where we have no tuition fees. What I've noticed is that the top students are the top students everywhere. But in Canada there are, how shall I say, a lot of people who don't really belong, whereas in Europe they tend to be killed off.

What a damn shame. I didnt realize the endless character assassinations were so effective.

Have zero time to hunt this down at the moment, so asking here on the off chance that someone seeing this is familiar with the language Hindi

In Latin (e.g.), the last syllable of a given word is NEVER stressed. What I am wondering is if the same rule applies in Hindi. For instance, is the Indian surname PATEL pronounced PAHtel or pahTEL (stress indicated by capital letters). I am assuming the first, PAHtel but am not really sure. Obviously in English (absent of exact knowledge) we would tend to pronounce a word like Patel with the stress on the final syllable. But I don't think that is correct. I think it is PAHtel.

I can't answer which is correct, but I can point out there's a third option, no emphasis, as in Japanese. Some words are more or less sing-song than others, but no syllable is stressed any more than any other syllable.

I can't believe I only just now thought of a President Baroque Obama. Or a chick with an rear like a harpsichord, a baroque-ass bitch.

Then again, if you wrote down all the possible classical music references, it would be quite a Liszt.

 

[Andy Capp]

It doesn't seem to me like either syllable receives particular emphasis.

I thought the same. And then I realized I have too much time on my hands today.

I think he meant Danger Mouse. Maybe Don Mattingly, Dave Matthews, or Dunder Mifflin.

Just thinking carefully about things here, but cuckoldry is a moral imperative. The strongest genes are combined with the best providers. Those who disagree are emotionally rattled beta males unfit to be bulls, but who have yet to turn towards their mothers. I, an intellectual with a python cock, am just being rational by suggesting that these people who view cuckoldry as ''harmful'' submit to their natural positions as drones to the queens and warriors of our species.

Fucking lmao. Preach brother.

I generally find heavy makeup to be unattractive and off-putting, although there is some spuriousness tied up in the types of girls/personalities that wear make and don't wear makeup (/care a lot about their appearances versus not caring as much). However, it's their face and their time spent on it. If it makes a girl feel better about herself or feel like she's expressing herself, more power to her.

However, it's still jarring when you see a real bona fide transformer. One that I remember going the other way (looking better without it) was Kesha.

solid post, but I wouldn’t agree that women who don’t wear makeup don’t care about their appearance. My wife is a jock type and cares very much about her appearance in the sense that she must be in physical shape but she’s kind of a tomboy in that she isn’t into makeup, jewelry, or dressing up or anything like that. But I’d say she’s still borderline obsessed with her appearance just in a different way
