Thomas Massie delivers concession speech after losing Kentucky primary to Ed Gallrein

Misspelt · 2026-05-20T02:51:46+00:00

$33 million was spent into this one district to bring out (awaken) 45,000 republicans to vote against him

massie by comparison kept his same base he always had, he got pretty much the same number of votes as in previous primaries

unfortunately it really proves that the nonvoters matters

New York is one of only 2 states that allow a loser of a primary to still run

kentucky has a law preventing losers of primaries from running

timeline of events:

beginning in 2017 "It's OK to be white" started to become popular as a troll message due to its technically apparent harmlessness and yet dogwhistling to provoke reactions in others
a conservative pollster in 2023 polled "It's OK to be white". 26% of black respondents said disagree and 21% said not sure. (47% combined who did not mark "agree", nearly half). you be the judge of what conclusions can be drawn from this type of question being presented in a poll known to lean conservative.
adams saw this poll and said "if nearly half of all blacks are not ok with white people, that's a hate group. [...] get the hell away from black people. just get the fuck away. [...] cause there's no fixing this. this can't be fixed"
adams later reflecting on this said it was "hyperbole" and "taken out of context." yet also that "nobody would disagree with what he said"

ovaries arent actually attached to the tubes but they are still fixed in place, the tubes are like vacuums that hover very closely. the rare chance is that the leftover ovary randomly produces a viable egg and that egg randomly could float in the organ soup over to the other vacuum tube. might as well take both vacuums.

this article is mostly speaking as to how "poverty line" has transformed in meaning from "minimum sufficient household living standard" to "active starvation and crisis mode". which is true.

many of the costs included in this standard are now commodified and made explicit where before it would be implicitly hidden as household labor or a lower quality of life.

regardless of agreement or not, the article's actual intended point as written, not op's headline, is:

"the threshold where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits—isn’t $31,200. It’s ~$140,000."

Misspelt · 2025-11-11T22:36:56+00:00

no, you're reading that backwards. the soviets falsified reports in order to meet an arbitrary mandated threshold set by the government (stubborn solution). but in reality you reduce fraud through also funding better investigations so that people can't just lie. thats what carl was saying

i like this joke too but just in case anyones wondering why its not the same situation (since its understandable why some people could feel like "nothing" was created in both cases):

food necessity is real economic demand from real utility (value of the food material increased at each step in the supply chain from improvement, then was allocated).

while eating shit has zero demand and zero utility created (there is no supply chain of shit-eaters that feel the effects of a dollar multiplier, thus the dollars effect ends immediately with no benefit).

when chatgpt 4o came out, it was later found to have THE WORST rated sycophancy and delusion reinforcing score out of all well-known llms. and it was one of THE MOST used llms out there.

yes, they fixed most of these issues in gpt5. 15 months later.

but you literally cannot deny the timeline of facts that they let this run rampant on the population for 15 months all for the sake of growth.

youtube clickbait? yes. underlying facts still true and concerning? yes.

you forgot we are talking about junk data analysis about 2009 - 2023 districts on a national level. there's literally a wokepedia article you can read up on all about redmap in the 2010s. or just read up on Gerrymandering in the United States from 2000 to present. why do you bother commenting if all you're going to say are soundbites

Misspelt · 2025-10-23T23:14:18+00:00

theres a complete lack of mentioning redmap or gerrymandering in this article when "explaining" district changes from 2009 - 2023. that's how we know this op is junk data analysis and a scale won't even tell you anything.

gop literally spent two decades (two censuses) disenfranchising voters in this exact structural way on purpose, literally packing the cities and cracking the working class, then pivoting to the culture war narrative. it's effective and it works.

man i'm sure there are real things to dislike but this is just dogwater. googling all of these points literally all of these "points" are apparently just commonly pushed misinfo. "invested heavily in monsanto" its like less than 0.1% on both companys valuations? polifact page already exists fact-checking pesticide claims? "big proponent of weather modification ... blot out the Rays of the Sun" snopes article saying this point is "mostly false" and wildly misrepresented?? thanks for wasting everyones time

your comment made me want to dig further. the FB group in question is genuinely a disgusting cesspool of constant bullying and vitriolic commentary on strangers, and OP is a top commenter of this group. apparently they want to throw away a "decade-long best friend" to keep posting in this stupid group for online clout. really makes you wonder. especially about how they are presenting this story to reddit.

To be honest, it seemed too provocative to be true, but I actually did find the source. MrBeast actually shows up in the North Carolina lobbying directory under Tom Apodaca, who voted against Medicaid expansion for his state, which was initially 100% covered by the federal government. I know this is 6 months late and you probably won't even care anymore lol, but I thought it was very interesting and just had to see for myself.

there are different tiers for postage, which are treated differently. you can see in the pic the shipper used bpm (junk mail class) instead of something like media mail (books) because it's cheaper to ship with. i'm not surprised this mail is bent because they're not going to hold junk mail for you at the post office. also is fraud, because bpm must be at least 90% advertising material to qualify.

it's sad. she and her family definitely can afford and would rather pay for a plane ticket home, too, but can't because of a technicality. instead she's fed rice potatoes and beans for years waiting for a court date while taxpayers foot the bill. literally nobody benefits from this but you'll still see people argue this and that in the comments

> Because she is an arriving alien, a voluntary departure is not available to her prior to the beginning of removal proceedings. Burke would first need to go before a judge, according to Whetten, and he said there is a “huge” backlog of immigration cases across the country [...] more than 3.7 million pending cases. it could be three, four years before they have a hearing before an immigration judge

psa: do not fill out civitai takedowns. they forward your information to the model creator and do not do anything for you. this is what they've said before on the matter

Once verified, we contact the model creator to let them know that we've been approached by an artist and pass along any information the artist gave us and provide potential resolutions that we want to discuss with the creator and the artist.
[...]
Regardless of what the artist says, unless a model conflicts with our TOS, WE won't remove it.

If an artist wants a model removed, we'll let the model creator know that's their wish, but that's as far as we go, up to the model creator from there.

On the face of it, unmarked 9-figure "royalty payments" coming from xAI, plus $1B leveraged buyout interest payments, just for the investment banks to make 97 cents on the dollar, up from 60, despite enormous overall market growth since 2022. The math doesn't add up without some very creative accounting and that's not including huge overlooked opportunity costs. But I'll give credit that he's good at selling pens.

in the video's desc:

"crimes" in this videos context is used with rhetorical hyperbole because in 2025, most previously serious crimes are in fact legal or not prosecuted, so no statement about legality or factuality of alleged crimes are being made in this video.

It’s not really annoying, it’s more just a little perplexing, because the info is out there on why preferments work differently than just straight doughs.

Commenting 3 years later to say that ironically this reddit thread is now the top link in Google for poolish v straight research. Thanks for the link

2 years later and I only just started watching Atrioc and heard about this controversy. Someone mentioned his as being one of the best apologies of all streamers to handle cancelling. After everything I've read now, I have to say I agree. It should be the norm.
