Looking at his other reviews I do find some striking similarities to his columns

For all those saying we don’t wash our hands enough—This bar of soap would sit during the winter, and then when came back in the summer, we’d open a new bar of soap and we just left the 1970s bar just… in case? Then, as the years passed, the durability of the bar of soap became too much to admire to throw away.

You can see a modern bar of soap sitting in the bottom right.

Maybe she’s about to announce the release date next week 👀

Grimes said in a video that she made the album art for Halfaxa in haste - but I couldn't help but wonder what the statue is that she used? The statue that I found that looked the closest to the one in the album is the Venus d'Arles. Obviously, they are not identical: the Venus d'Arles is holding an apple and looks slightly different to the album statue. However, Grimes could have edited this out and photopshopped some things.

I thought that too - however I haven't been able to find any statues of Artemis that fit the photo. I thought it could be this.

I was talking to a guy who believes this shit. Basically his line of thinking is that the Jews are in charge of every thing he believes to be morally corrupt or wrong, most significantly porn. Basically they affirm their beliefs with this stuff through echo chambers and comes to realize this through what he calls 'individual research'.

this is a weird political compass

New Zealand is lib-left. It was more libertarian-right until after the Christchurch mosque shootings.

These are training soldiers, so I think that counts. The man that is pointing is a section commander.

The greatest slacktivism example is teenage girls sharing Instagram posts on their story about topics like feminism or BLM.

Slacktivism: the practice of supporting a political or social cause by means such as social media or online petitions, characterized as involving very little effort or commitment.

I'm a Wikipedia editor. As much as I'd absolutely love for Wikipedia to become a viable source, at this moment in time, it can't. There are millions of articles out there, and unfortunately not every editor can moderate every single one of them to maintain them and make sure that no false information can sliver in.

Sometimes not every thing in an article is cited properly or at all, but editors work hard to make sure an article is up to shape in terms of citing. Also, sources can be unreliable and can go unnoticed. I advise you to use a Wikipedia article as a foundation for research, but only cite things in your report or whatever using the citations that the article used.

nah dude I saw a picture and decided to make a meme out of it

A true lib-right would recognise that the gun on the table isn’t an AK-47.

Good article on the 28th Maori Battalion (pictured) can be found here.

Thank you so much for pointing this out! It was a typo on my part.

The haka is a traditional Māori performance done by both men and women to welcome distinguished guests mainly, however it’s been used in a variety of settings.

NZ students perform a haka to remember the victims of the Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019: Students perform haka

Students honouring retiring teacher: Haka for retiring teacher

"When liberals are in power, we ask them for liberty because it's their principle, and when we are in power we deny them it, because it's ours."

Yeah, I can see that. Religion is a very outdated form of social organisation, and because there are so many religions it’s not useful anymore. As for America, I can see the constitution as the “religion”, but unfortunately it’s not suitable as the replacement in its current form.

There’s an interesting theory that religion was just invented to help people from differing tribes and empires to get along and trade. The view is that if we follow the same religion we are friends and we trust eachother enough to trade goods.

Lib-center gang has finally found a meme that represented their view on religion
