·2 years agoThese are the shows your mom likes but coastal elites have never heard of or turn their noses up at.

I had this period in 2010 when I was weirdly addicted to Ice Road Trucker. I still don't know why. It was just a bunch of men driving trucks.

That was my reaction. I switched to Youtube watching quite some time ago. It's the Discovery Channel and the History Channel the way they were meant to be. It's endlessly fascinating and unlike the basic cable networks of old, the creators do not hesitate to really get down into the weeds.
It's mostly chuds who say that. They don't like offices and mobile phones and just want to live in some idealized Bronze Age where they would get Stacy and be allowed to kill anyone who makes fun of them for being a virgin.
Yeah, agriculturalists were just a big treasure box for nomads. They had zero compassion for anyone who wasn't a member of their tribe.
At least, until the farmers got their shit together and started building armies with metal weapons and armor. Then they wrecked the nomads' shit permanently.
Old people teach children superstition, old wives tales and sexism. There's a reason schools employ mostly younger people.
People still believe in trepanation even today.
Historically the nomads would raid the farmers and carry off their women and have a good laugh about it. The farmers got angry and got to work. A decade later an army armed with metal armor and weapons marched forth and absolutely wrecked the nomads shit. Today, nomads are total losers who occupy the worst land on the planet. Who's laughing now, Chad?

·2 years agoGet fucked France.
Oh now they're saying they want to be on America's side? WTF? French foreign policy for decades has been "find out what the Americans are doing and take the other side." I know a lot of people like to rip Americans for being anti-French but there are solid reasons for it. French are just plain ungrateful assholes.
"The French couldn't hate us any more unless we helped 'em out in another war."

I guess he really got under someone's skin. His takes are bad enough without making up fakes.

·2 years agoThey got rid of the old easy visa policy. All the "diginomads" got sent away. Now you need a real job to stay in country.

You're not dominant enough. Get a cat.

·2 years agoThe Racially Fraught History of the American Beard
What follows is the lost story of American facial hair. Like countless other histories, it is rife with contradictions. It begins with white Americans at the time of the Revolution who derided barbering as the work of “inferiors.” It continues with black entrepreneurs who turned it into a source of wealth and prestige. And it concludes with the advent of the beard—a fashion born out of desperation but transformed into a symbol of masculine authority and white supremacy.

If you live abroad American citizenship is one of your best assets. It makes things easy for you, you can enter so many countries without any advance notice. Just show up and boom, 90 days free entry. Even if you want to stay and work, there is so much fraud from other countries that a blue passport is your guarantee that they'll take you seriously when you apply.
It's called a bidet and it is awesome

Negative.
They don't drill a hole into the skull and leave it permanently. They remove a section of skull to allow the brain to swell without causing damage, then replace it after the emergency is over.
