Sure I'm just seeing lots of younger millenials and zoomers laughing about this clip because I think except for "red-pill" and "kind and sensitive person" etc most of those phrases are just online discourse not particularly specific to incel.

It struck me as a little bit like that clip from American breakfast TV of a "normal teens bedroom" that was actually filled with hidden drugs :lol:

Although I think it points to a slightly bigger issue of I think our TV and media commentators just not really knowing or caring or acknowledging about online culture which is kind of key to everyone under 40 (probably). This is a bad - and quite funny - explainer, but the broader issue is that most serious voices pride themselves on being above or too good for online, when it's the stuff everyone younger than them is marinating in - which makes it challenging for them to then deal with something serious from online culture like incels.

I wish "kind and sensitive people" were more common. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

This is pretty cool. Would love to see the same done for Europe. Drop a raindrop anywhere in the US and see where it ends up:

Apparently there is no path for a raindrop that falls on Terreton, Idaho, given how quickly it processed my second raindrop that fell on Franklin, Indiana... :)

That is very fun. Would love a Euro version.

That's the way it works.  Tomorrow you will have lumbago.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

And the day after that, voting Tory and trying to buy a property to rent out.

After 30 minutes of vigorously beating my meat I finally made a decent schnitzel.

Speaking of chicken, this recpie for Japanese Karaage chicken came up yesterday for me on YouTube for some reason, and it looks delicious. I may give it a try this weekend. :)

Listening to my first ever Twitter Space - on bins :ph34r:

Weirdly fascinating. Over 100 people listening.

Edit: It started as a joke - but I'm now, like the rest of the audience and participates fully engaged. Stories of how people first became radicalised about the bins, there's a local councillor explaining why they only do certain recycling collections etc, the problem of privatisation and the ongoing bin strike in Sidcup.
Let's bomb Russia!

A friend in Switzerland has recently started working for the waste management department. It does sound more interesting than it appears on the surface. He has to be an old school secret agent following street cleaners about and making sure they're doing their job right.

But ja. Recycling is a mess.
