33% of people get cancer during their life times. If we stop giving them healthcare, and stop funding for a cure, there will be no cancer.

Which 15% of the population do you think he's referring to? Is there some easy way to identify them, perhaps with a paper bag?

Speaking of math, Hannity and a few others like to extrapolate the number of people killed in the Hamas Israel attack by saying it would be the % population equivalent of like 40,000 dead Americans. But it got me wondering what 33,000 dead people in Gaza would amount to if they did the same trick. Naturally, none of them have run the numbers that way. Let's just do this USA Math to make an already horrible attack seem even bigger!

I think we learned from COVID that 1 million dead Americans is child's play and an embarrassing low ball to them.

To be fair, draconian policies on crime do actually work pretty well to reduce crime; see Singapore and Japan for examples. That being said, it's really loving unethical, and expensive as all poo poo.

I almost like these new "DEI" terms because its quite helpful to know the moment someone starts talking about it like its some cabal controlling the world you can write them off as a batshit racist and move on.

Kaiju Cage Match posted:This is the first time I've heard of ESG. What does it stand for? quote:ESG stands for environmental, social, and governance. ESG investing refers to how companies score on these responsibility metrics and standards for potential investments. Environmental criteria gauge how a company safeguards the environment. Conservatives are scared that these big investment firms will only support businesses that ensure you eat ze bugs and live in ze pods and have nothing and be happy about it. It's a really simple way for them to explain how the "free market" isn't working-they've been ideologically captured by leftism! This is also their cope for why video games have gotten so woke-it can't possibly be because people WANT that content, it's only because the only way a studio can get reasonable funding is if they bend over for Big Woke to get those ESG investment dollars.

When I hear that I tend to ask them why they'd want to do that instead of just running away with all the money like they're already actually doing with insider trading and poo poo. Nancy Pelosi using her position to get enough gently caress you money not to care about anyone sounds a hell of a lot more plausible than needing to dominate everyone. If you take every accusation that the right makes against anyone else as a projection/confession, then a whole lot of the scaremongering from right-wing media and politicians starts to make sense.

It's really weird to see furries becoming the focus of right-wing outrage... but, like, the idea of what a furry must be according to very offline reactionaries. Like they hear the idea of people who "identify as animals" and then think "ah, yes, so they must want to poo poo outdoors and eat grass and run around scratching and biting people" and then that's what they're railing against without any actual knowlege of what furries actually are. It's completely unrelated to the online poo poo furries have had to deal with over the past two decades or so. Any talks of fursuits or the intricate gender politics of a deer fursona are just going to get a blank stare, because they assume furries are crawling around and chewing on bones during lunch period. I understand that it's weird proxy anti-trans poo poo, but, like, furries exist! You can talk to them, they're usually pretty friendly! Why do you feel the need to insist they run around pissing on everything while evil schoolteachers do nothing? That's not a thing!

going from goon IT nerds here and on twitter and other places, furries are the boring office guys that you probably would say are either very private about their personal lives or are asexual. also there should be federal bills about managing the number of furries flying on planes for major cons because a major plane crash would cripple the industry

Yeah, I guess since these people's perception of what a trans person is includes zero information actually coming from a trans person, I shouldn't be surprised they have a rather inaccurate impression of what furries do. I'm just more used to the "get away with homophobia by pointing and laughing at the weirdos" type harassment we had in the 00's and 10's. This new angle is definitely trying to get away with transphobia, but people combining it with the Satanic Panic narrative and taking it deadly seriously is throwing me for a loop.

Hate. It always comes back to hate. They don't give a gently caress what furries believe or do. They just want someone to hate and celebrate when their target is hurt.

It's also that they're a perfect "other"; they're "weird" to normal people, and there's a certain level of "Well, they're so weird and cringy that they're acceptable targets". It's certainly not like my record is clean on this when I was younger; the difference, obviously, being that I learned some empathy and grew out of being an edgelord troll.
