2021-04-07 at 3:24 PM UTC in White = BadSPeaking to Vindicktive Vinny on this site has convinced me of two things
A) THere are way more pedophiles in this world than I realized
B) Due to the amount of pedophiles, I am not going to Cambodia
So here I sit, aimless, jobles wifeles, childless, i got a lot of dabs and i think.
YOu kinda are right, white people are kinda fucked up, maybe I should move back to Europe and just date a White man, adopt a white kid no one wants, and learn to speak German or Finnish or Pakistani so I can fit in in my homelands. -

Just get it together ? Oh? Ok.
I don't want aldra to die. If my concern seems condescending I apologize for not knowing the exact combination of words that would appease you, but yeah, aldra should get his shit together if he's blood letting to get higher and his employer is getting involved. What the fuck do you think he should do, wash some dishes?The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Anyhow, meating with boss, "you're fucked no way you're working today"
lady boss came in and said "you're going to hospital"
"what are you going to do, try and force me?"
so they agreed to call his girlfriend and have her look after him, probably won't go back until next weekThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Race is not a biological or genetic concept and is constructed socially. It is a pre-scientific abstraction that serves as a weak proxy for the concept of genetic diversity.
It is largely based on categorization by the basis of skin colour, which is a biological and hereditary factor, but is definitely not the determinative trait as solely by this measure, jedis are white.
Instead race is a pre scientific concept that is purely socially constructed and has no basis in scientific reasoning.
Social concepts can be real and useful, such as the concept of money. However this particular social construct, race, is now outmoded and holds no natural scientific value compared to modern genetics.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Data Three is a bit retarded. Idk what you'd do with three screens. That's neck moving horizontalism and I don't approve of anything physical in front of the computer
3 is purely for gayming. As humans are a predatory species which evolved forward facing eyes to better track our prey, and many of the popular games of our era revolve around stimulating our primal predatory urges, it's very common for important things to be happening in the center of our screen/directly in front of us. Splitting a game across only 2 screens makes the center of the game's field-of-view get split across the bezels of both monitors. Not conducive to good hunting. Make caveman brain sad. 3 monitors means you can see straight forward and your peripheral vision is split across the other two monitors. Make caveman brain happy to see prey directly in front of you.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Kev thats the entire point. covid19 is not dangerous, it is interchangeable with any other bad seasonal flu. remember the swine flu? no lunatic freakout then.
That's a terrible way of making the point. "Occasionally, a coronavirus has been known to cause mild flu-like symptoms" does not mean "coronaviruses are incapable of being more dangerous than the average seasonal flu". In fact, it's especially fucking stupid to draw the comparison between the two to prove this point in particular, because Spanish flu was famously awful. If coronaviruses and influenza viruses are basically the same, what this comparison actually demonstrates is that one shouldn't underestimate coronavirus' capacity for causing devastating illnesses. Which is also a fucking stupid way to demonstrate that point, but somehow marginally less stupid than the completely contradictory one you were trying to make using exactly the same information.

Seriously, How Dumb Is Trump?
For more than a year now, I’ve been hearing from people in the inner circles of official Washington – GOP lobbyists, Republican pundits, even a few Republican members of Congress – that Donald Trump is remarkably stupid.
I figured they couldn’t be right because really stupid people don’t become presidents of the United States. Even George W. Bush was smart enough to hire smart people to run his campaign and then his White House.
Several months back when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called Trump a “f—king moron,” I discounted it. I know firsthand how frustrating it can be to serve in a president’s cabinet, and I’ve heard members of other president’s cabinets describe their bosses in similar terms.
Now comes “Fire and Fury,” a book by journalist Michael Wolff, who interviewed more than 200 people who dealt with Trump as a candidate and president, including senior White House staff members.
In it, National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster calls Trump a “dope.” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus both refer to him as an “idiot.” Rupert Murdoch says Trump is a “f—king idiot.”
Trump’s chief economic adviser Gary Cohn describes Trump as “dumb as sh-t,” explaining that “Trump won’t read anything — not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing. He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored.”
When one of Trump’s campaign aides tried to educate him about the Constitution, Trump couldn’t focus. “I got as far as the Fourth Amendment,” the aide recalled, “before his finger is pulling down on his lip and his eyes are rolling back in his head.”
Trump doesn’t think he’s stupid, of course. As he recounted, “I went to an Ivy League college … I did very well. I’m a very intelligent person.”
Yet Trump wasn’t exactly an academic star. One of his professors at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and Finance purportedly said that he was “the dumbest goddamn student I ever had.”
Trump biographer Gwenda Blair wrote in 2001 that Trump was admitted to Wharton on a special favor from a “friendly” admissions officer who had known Trump’s older brother.
But hold on. It would be dangerous to underestimate this man.
Even if Trump doesn’t read, can’t follow a logical argument, and has the attention span of a fruit fly, it still doesn’t follow that he’s stupid.
There’s another form of intelligence, called “emotional intelligence.”
Emotional intelligence is a concept developed by two psychologists, John Mayer of the University of New Hampshire, and Yale’s Peter Salovey, and it was popularized by Dan Goleman in his 1996 book of the same name.
Mayer and Salovey define emotional intelligence as the ability to do two things – “understand and manage our own emotions,” and “recognize and influence the emotions of others.”
Granted, Trump hasn’t displayed much capacity for the first. He’s thin-skinned, narcissistic, and vindictive.
As dozens of Republican foreign policy experts put it, “he is unable or unwilling to separate truth from falsehood. He does not encourage conflicting views. He lacks self-control and acts impetuously. He cannot tolerate criticism.”
OK, but what about Mayer and Salovey’s second aspect of emotional intelligence – influencing the emotions of others?
This is where Trump shines. He knows how to manipulate people. He has an uncanny ability to discover their emotional vulnerabilities – their fears, anxieties, prejudices, and darkest desires – and use them for his own purposes.
To put it another way, Trump is an extraordinarily talented conman.
He’s always been a conman. He conned hundreds of young people and their parents into paying to attend his near worthless Trump University. He conned banks into lending him more money even after he repeatedly failed to pay them. He conned contractors to work for them and then stiffed them.
Granted, during he hasn’t always been a great conman. Had he been, his cons would have paid off.
By his own account, in 1976, when Trump was starting his career, he was worth about $200 million, much of it from his father. Today he says he’s worth some $8 billion. If he’d just put the original $200 million into an index fund and reinvested the dividends, he’d be worth $12 billion today.
But he’s been a great political conman. He conned 62,979,879 Americans to vote for him in November 2016 by getting them to believe his lies about Mexicans, Muslims, African-Americans, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and all the “wonderful,” “beautiful” things he’d do for the people who’d support him.
And he’s still conning most of them.
Political conning is Trump’s genius. It’s this genius – when combined with his utter stupidity in every other dimension of his being – that poses the greatest danger to America and the world.
And...this was written before the whole "Contributiongate" scandal where Trump grifted extra payment from his own unsuspecting donors without their knowledge or approval.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

If Trump played golf on 298 days while in office, Trump played golf on 20.397% of his days in office.
Trump spent the other 79.6% of his days watching Faux News and tweeting hate.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
