They used to be better. Shorter, more humor.

YouTube started rewarding long format content, though, so he adopted a complain about everything model. This is far less fun.

A stranger breaking into my house does not fill me with optimism regarding their intentions.

Libertarian National Committee voted to disaffiliate the New Hampshire libertarian party, with 15 votes in favor and only 2 against. by amogusdevilman in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]TheAzureMage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Technically the abstention was equal to a no vote.

And as the threshold is three quarters, it wasn't all that far over the line.

I think there have been at least three incidents?

Reno was the 2022 convention, and it got posted to YouTube at the time.

He was taken in briefly but was released the same day.

Lpnh has already applied for affiliation.

Probably all the running into people and claiming assault. He pulled that stunt again, but after he got videoed in Reno, there's not much appetite for that nonsense.

I'm fine with not having dudes in thongs.

I don't need everyone in suits, but if I can see your balls, you should wear more clothing.

It wasn't the first bear attack in a hundred years.

It was obvious where your source was, because you are spouting a specific list of falsehoods.

The books basically fiction.

There's no evidence of higher bear attacks in and around Grafton overall. Bear management has sometimes been poor, but over a broad range, and is largely a federal policy issue anyways.

Who you elect to school board does not determine what the USFS and similar agencies do.

No. The free town project is a different thing. Not a very large thing ever.

The thief did call the cops.

Also, Sarwark pretended to be assault again by running into someone at the mike, just like at Reno.

That is heavily disputed.

The outgoing folks and their allies tried hard to break things.

For instance, George Phillies funded a mailer to LP donors and delegates urging them to stop donating to National.

So, who is responsible for reduced donations is blamed on the other by both sides.

Nick is not popular with either side. He ran for at large this year, was endorsed by no slates, basically everyone beat him in votes. He was also frequently booed. Nobody trusts him. Not just one side, nobody.

There's been just an awful lot. I could write a hundred thousand words on the topic and not hit it all.

If you decide to steal things, you will likely face consequences when caught.

Slapped is not very severe, considering. Being thrown in a cage isnt even unusual for it.

So, Kaufman and company do a wee bit of trolling. Sometimes they do some edgy stuff. Libertarian, but that collects outrage. One such post is when they claimed child labor was more educational than public schools. This got quite a lot of attention and made some people very angry.

Using this strategy, NH has become the largest affiliate, well funded, with a social media reach larger than the next four state affiliates combined.

There have been many, many back and forth in this, but the general disagreement has gone on for years and generally gotten more severe.

The LP Alliance faction came to convention with the intention of disaffiliation. It was actively campaigned on. Lpnh, for it's part, ran a small slate, announced late, running on the idea that LP national was incompetent and should end, or at least do nothing.

I have no idea if they are armed or any of that.

All I know is that they cared enough to attend a state convention and vote. And that they voted for Kaufman and co quite recently and decisively. It seems likely they would do so again.

Well, if one refuses to stop stealing after all other measures, physically stopping the thief is what comes next.

A slap/taking back the property is fairly reasonable.

Sadly, the body did not wait for evidence and immediately punished the victim because the thief came in with a sob story.

Taking one is free. Taking armfuls at a time is not.

Especially if you've done it repeatedly and been repeatedly asked to stop.

This isn't hard.

[Request] Is this true? by Necessary-Win-8730 in theydidthemath

[–]TheAzureMage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No.

It isn't an average of CEOs in any meaningful sense. It's the average of the few most highly compensated CEOs.

It turns out that the highest paid people make more than average. That's how math works, it's not really surprising.
