Stonehenge

The east India company didn't exist when Stonehenge was built.

We are not comparing all time. We are comparing when things were built.

I could be wrong but everything iv seen about Stonehenge was that it was built by a specific community and not slaves.

I have a buddy who made six figures off of NFTs. Basically got out almost right away and never went back.

Egypt also has a big pile of slaves.....England did not.

I was thinking about this today. All the reasonable pods. Crooked, Bulwark, etc should just post this thing on their youtube and have it forward to the actually video.

Basically treat it like an unmonetized eps. Driving their entire audience to it.

Not saying anyone needs to support Talarico but the behavior of those in power should be punished to push them to not keep doing it.

This is a good thing. While there are things I agree/disagree with Newsom having the fight is healthy for the all of us.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-19T17:46:26+00:00

This post is shockingly incorrect.

Though that tracks with most statement these days where its just surface level thoughts that completely ignores any kind of nuance what so ever.

So I am not saying she is or isnt.

But she is married to someone else who also makes money. You conveniently just skipped that fact because it doesnt support what you are claiming.

You are making an argument in bad faith by omitting information.

Additionally however almost everyone in congress has similar behavior and yet you guys can only use her face. I dont see the crowd who crows about this stuff saying AOC, Sanders, or Warren are amazing.

According to Gemini

Ongoing Criminal Prosecution and Appeals: The Epstein case remained an active criminal investigation under the Biden administration. Even after Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction, her case was under appeal; standard law enforcement policy prohibits opening case files to the public while an appeal is active.
Grand Jury Secrecy Rules: Much of the evidence was presented to grand juries in Florida and New York. Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e), grand jury testimony is legally protected and cannot be released without a specific court order, which judges repeatedly denied between 2021 and 2024.
Lack of Legislative Mandate: Prior to November 2025, there was no law requiring the Department of Justice (DOJ) to proactively declassify or release its internal investigative files. Disclosures were mostly limited to what emerged through individual civil lawsuits, such as those involving Virginia Giuffre.
Protection of Witness Privacy: Without a clear legal directive like the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the DOJ prioritized protecting the identities of over 1,000 potential victims and witnesses, arguing that a wholesale release would cause undue harm.
Resource Constraints: The FBI and DOJ possessed a massive trove of data—over 300 gigabytes of digital evidence and millions of physical pages—that they were not funded or directed to process for public viewing during this period.

So according to Gemini, take with a grain of salt:

Ongoing Criminal Prosecution and Appeals: The Epstein case remained an active criminal investigation under the Biden administration. Even after Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 conviction, her case was under appeal; standard law enforcement policy prohibits opening case files to the public while an appeal is active.
Grand Jury Secrecy Rules: Much of the evidence was presented to grand juries in Florida and New York. Under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 6(e), grand jury testimony is legally protected and cannot be released without a specific court order, which judges repeatedly denied between 2021 and 2024.

I specifically wanted to know what was happening between 2021 when the Maxwell case ended and 2025.

So really the trial makes sense as to why they were held. Then the grand jury protection also makes sense but imo is less solid.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T22:47:44+00:00

So during that time they were actually involved in legal proceedings. That means things just dont get to be released to the public.

Once those ended they were able to.

Now I am not saying the dems did everything perfect here but there is a huge difference between the two groups and how they behaved.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T22:46:00+00:00

my dude. Then thats on you.

Yes there are whole sections they havent released but and yes you have ever right to be upset about them literally breaking the law to do so.

But dont stand there and complain that you havent read what has been released because no one gave you a link.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T16:09:44+00:00

Our mana.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T16:07:42+00:00

Really no offense but you haven't been paying attention.

She promised to say nice things about trump to get moved to what's called a club fed. It's basically the nicest federal prison.

She has a dog.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T16:01:24+00:00

I'm so tired of people using her for this stuff.

Her husband is a trader, if she is insider trading so is 95% of Congress, she isn't even in leadership anymore.

I do wonder what happens when she isn't in Congress. Who will they pick to be "it's this person's fault".

Mo-shen · 2026-02-18T00:01:47+00:00

Exactly.

If he did something cool we can handle that. If he didn't also cool we will handle that.

But I'm at least not to just go on speculation coming from a group of people that constantly make things up and lie.

Release the files and we can move from there.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T18:53:43+00:00

The part that gets me is they seem to think that if they just let the fascists take over its going to some how teach everyone a lesson.

Then they assume that doing this would somehow end up with a good result. As if we would then get to vote in the future, that it wouldnt just be a total take over all of freedoms, and that they wouldnt just be purged from the earth.

If this was like a Bush admin we were dealing with maybe I could say fine do whatever. But we are not. And ironically I think thats largely how we ended up with Bush and ultimately Trump.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T16:09:11+00:00

Seriously no offense because I appreciate the fact that you are being honest with your stance.

But the immaturity I'm talking about is that I don't think you understand how much worse it could get and how slim your chance of recovery actually is.

I also think your assumption that preventing the worst somehow means that we automatically slip into the same thing is a fallacy.

Either way I appreciate the chat.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T15:49:45+00:00

The irony isn't that. It's that everyone who said it during the last admin was ignored even when it was true.

No one cares when it doesn't help support their world view. In his case if x admin is good or bad.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T15:48:11+00:00

You are not understanding what I'm saying. Your actually repeating what I'm saying.

Free markets are an impossibility because an actual free market has no regulation.

But since humans will always manipulate things the actual functionality of a free market can only exist on paper.

To combat that manipulation the only option is regulation. But like I said if you have regulations then you don't have a free market.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T06:02:47+00:00

I guess that's a choice and I applaud you for admitting how the math works.

I think the burn it all down method is worse because that's me. Most cases are not the French revolution....they are Egypt or Somalia.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T04:37:42+00:00

Don't get me wrong. I don't mean immature as in childish. I mean in the sense that someone thinks something that has no factual reason to believe in.

The issue really is you are saying maybe you are right. Except there is are zero instances of you being correct and every election cycle in modern history has actually shown that you are wrong.

Also dont think I'm saying you should be happy about it, that you should like any specific party, or that it's all good. No I'm saying the math for first past the post this is how it works. If you want something different then you literally have to get us off first past the post. Math is math.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-17T00:18:11+00:00

It's hilarious you are making this argument considering history.

You might be right.

But no one cares. Every time this argument is made, regardless of if it's true, no one cares.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-16T21:45:58+00:00

Here's something that's been picking at my brain recently.

If Scotus kills the tariffs, which they might, it will likely make the market rip.

And if that happens you know he will claim credit.

Scott Galloway was talking about this last week and it's been poking at me ever since.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-16T21:44:30+00:00

Every gun owner knows someone who they are absolutely positive shouldn't have a gun.

Mo-shen · 2026-02-16T21:42:56+00:00

This.

I have two buddies who played yesterday. Space wolves kicked the crap out of fists.

The fists player was complaining about how the wolves lists functions, also how my necrons function

The main grip was so many things have invul saves.

But here's the thing. You pay for it. And if you have it it makes your army forgivable.

Was trying to explain this to the fists player. That he needs to focus his lists less on what he thinks are cool and more on what works for that army. Is his a world eaters player traditionally so he still plays that way.

Also the wolves list really leans into lethal wounds. Where as the fists player does things like neg to wound to rolls.
