Winter 2021 LC Thread—I Want Sous Vide

Spoilers!

Damn. Even teachers in America have no job security.

I’m at a house with 3 chicks and no nest. Anything I can do to help them?

Feed them bugs constantly for the next few weeks.

Actually check with the experts before you follow that.

Horseshoe theory in effect!

I can’t tell if this means birds or women.

If the former, depending on the species, there is not much you can likely do. Touching them at all is a bad idea. Call the local wildlife office.

If it’s a euphemism for women then gl buddy. Could make a nice penthouse pets article! (Yes that’s an old man porn reference)

I gotta quit reading that Astral Codex Ten blog. I don’t understand how someone so smart can have such gigantic blind spots. It’s like an ultra-educated Joe Rogan.

This is from his links grab bag:

13: Claim: very high support (80% of Americans) for requiring ID to vote; non-whites more likely to support ID requirements than whites are.

Like what’s the point of posting this on a blog whose whole spirit is supposed to be poking holes in counter-intuitive stuff that the general public thinks is common sense?

In the comments he sort of implies he’s making a purely intellectually curious argument about how people are only partisan when they realize the issue is partisan:

My guess is most people don’t connect this seemingly common sense question to the controversy about voting rights they’ve heard about (and would split along party lines if they realized this was something their party had a contrary opinion on).

So is it common sense or “seemingly common sense”? What’s the damn point of bringing it up if not to support voter ID laws?

The way this guy focuses on tiny molehills like “wokeness” while completely ignoring the looming mountain of shit Republicans are building right now tilts me to no end.

He’s super-Jewish too. Does he think the end result if the “Jews will not replace us” Proud Boys get their way is going to work out well for him? He seems to think the biggest threat to his peace and happiness is out of control diversity training.

I wish he’d just stick to pointing out BS in the drug and medical industry. I think he’s a classic case of knowing a lot in one field = assuming you can sniff out BS in any other field.

So much to unpack here.

Probably true?

Dude was the ultimate grifter. He definitely lived an interesting life.

What had the Spanish jailed him for?

Killing your neighbors dogs is cool. But it’s having a prostitute poop in your mouth while on bath salts that did it for me. What a maverick!

I gotta go with Beastie Boys and The Cure - but that second pick is super close with U2/Pogues, Pink Floyd, and Billy Idol/Cult.

So what are the leading theories? Lots of crazy possibilities. But this guy seemed overdue to get final destinationed.

Why would the US want to kill him?
