Any study that investigates its effects would have to control for that. 93,4% percent of all norwegian kids in the ages of 1-5 goes to preschool. You don't have to give McCoy poo poo.

On top of all the excellent points made it'd be an enormous relief to parents to not cover the spiraling costs of some part of childcare. Surprise, a piece of poo poo like McCoy just hates people, especially poor people. "Haha, that idiot Joe Biden wants to offer people any financial relief." Yes! What's the alternative, open celebration of rapidly declining quality of life? It's a shame about inflation and rising costs, suffer?

Speaking of choosing the most convoluted way to depict something, it's time once more for "Oh, no, we created a device to mesmerize everyone but we forgot to make it capable of lying. Better take everyone's account away so they can't be mesmerized anymore!" In which we learn that it's okay to commit hate crimes against Jewish people because Israel exists. Considering how some of the kings of Gondor behaved, this might not be that far off. Possibly the most direct reference to the Great Replacement Theory. And, of course, it's the Jews behind that, and behind Pride and LGBT people existing in public life in general. Something in my brain just started screaming, and I don't know when it's going to stop. Now we've just got a straight up vampire Jew in Lord of the Rings, I don't even care anymore. I'm still on that last strip. Got to get a couple of panels about how porn is bad into this firehose of conspiracy theories and antisemitism. Pettyfest Last one's a video: https://imgur.com/Xx2cshh

ZZT the Fifth posted:What the gently caress am I even looking at here? OK, I'm going to try. I don't know if this will work. Panel 1: A Lord of the Rings banner (pretty sure the sun on top is a reference to the flag of Rohan) with the TikTok symbol on it. We're in the offices of Tolkien TikTok. Panel 2: A bunch of hobbit employees of Tolkien TikTok perform moderation and maintenance duties using palantirs. Because they're hobbits, we're supposed to be sympathetic even though the palantirs are evil. Panel 3: Tolkien TikTok contains porn. Panel 4: A hobbit massacre. Orc Bibi's face is superimposed on the massacre to indicate his culpability. Panel 5: Orc (Jew) FBI agents kick down the doors of Tolkien TikTok, surprising the employees. Panel 6: The hobbits are all arrested by the Orc FBI agents. Panel 7: Jonathan Greenblatt, director of the Anti-Defamation League, enters. He is a vampire. Panel 8: Vampire Greenblatt symbolically takes control of the palantirs. Panel 9: The TikTok icon now contains a representation of the Eye of Sauron, except that the Eye is making an anime smiley eye shape, indicating that propaganda is trying to make Sauron look cute and cuddly. Panel 10: There is still porn. Porn is bad and a product of the Jewish conspiracy. Panel 11: Propaganda broadcast on the new Jew/Orc/Sauron/NWO TikTok shows the Jewish conspirators to actually be nice non-orcish people. Panel 12: All of the hobbit employees of Tolkien TikTok have been replaced by the Orc FBI, supervised by Vampire Greenblatt.

Oh definitely, it's just that they spiral out to the wider conspiracy sphere until people are going on about alien tiktoks turning the kids gay and you have no clue what they're going on about, but you turn over a rock and there it is. Tats is in the transitional stage where he can't shut up about the Jewish conspiracy every 5 minutes, whereas a year back he was still in the lizard gender studies teachers stage.

Rowe: The cane toad is Queensland premier Steven Miles, "beautiful one day, perfect the next" is a Queensland tourism slogan. Queensland had a bunch of state by-elections in which the Labor government did quite badly which isn't great for them for the upcoming state election later this year. Albanese is there because federal polling suggests it's unlikely for the ALP to pick up a couple of seats in Queensland which they may need to avoid going into minority government. Shock losses to LNP and Greens in Queensland elections sound warning for Labor ahead of October poll (Guardian). Katauskas: Broelman: Herbert: Energy & climate change minister Chris Bowen and environment minister Tanya Plibersek, who often have competing portfolios as the rollout of wind farms can be blocked on environmental grounds. Knight: How Greens leader Adam Bandt spent thousands on private jet flights while lecturing you about climate change (Daily Mail). Leak, Son of Leak: Home affairs minister Clare O'Neil and immigration minister Andrew Giles. The conservatives have been in full attack mode after the High Court declared in unlawful to keep criminal immigrants who could not be deported in indefinite detention after they had served their sentences.
