Nobody ever talks about this, but the reason you have to go to college is A, because Griggs v. Duke Power Company made it illegal for presumptive employers to IQ test, and B, inner city High-Schools basically aren't allowed to fail a student as long as they physically show up.
So you end up in this trap where a High-School diploma that you worked very hard for means nothing, because a kid who did coloring books and addition and subtraction got a paper saying he has the same qualification. Ok, then just give me an intelligence test, oh wait you cant, thats also illegal because it causes "disparate impact". So now the only proxy for basically literacy and ~105~ IQ is a 4 year meaningless degree that costs 10s of thousands of dollars.
But wait, now they hand those out to anyone, (1/4 of 4yr grads have an IQ of or below 95), so now you need a Master's, or specialty training, or a million other bullshit things. So you get them, but wait, a diploma mill in Hyderabad cranked out 100M guys who also have a Master's on paper, and will work for 1/3 the price, so now you dont have a job. Ok, ill work construction, but wait, you dont live in a State with strong Unions, so any non-specialized construction work is done by slaves from Guatemala, so you decide to stay home and take Percocet instead.
Awesome system we've built.

3rd wave feminism holds this weird position that women sexualizing themselves is empowering but men viewing women sexually is evil. So you end up with such schizophrenic situations, where the woman showing her bare ass in public is not a pervert, but the guy looking at it is.
Anime Expo Day 1 was so much fun! Found another clip of my 2B from the con!
I hope that film he took was good lol 🤣
I think this is my favorite Nier cosplay!

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OP later posted to add that the person taking cell phone video was taking a 360° shot of her cosplay; not a random person secretly taking pictures of her backside.

Seeing a lot of lefty’s melting down at Chewy and CashApp for pulling their advertising on Jennifer Welch’s show, lot of crying about “free speech”, so thought I’d give you think helpful reminder

At least we still have Slate
Today, after 31 years, we are saddened to announce that Salon is ceasing publication. It has been an extraordinary privilege. salon.com/2026/11/05/goodbye…
This kind of thing happens in my work chat all the time. Mostly about electricity, but cars will work.
I'm not saddened at all. At most I'm a little surprised that this garbage heap hung on as long as it did.

Hamas Piker: I HATE AMERICA! YOU DESERVED 9/11
DNC: Well, we have a big tent!
Haley Stevens: I don't think we should blame Jews for produce
DNC: YOU TRAITOR! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A USED CONDOM!
What a time to be alive.
Once again, the only difference between a "right wing conspiracy theory" and established truth is about six months.

Of all the dumb things the media does, one of the worst is claiming that something the Left finds hard to believe is a “conspiracy theory.”
Eventually such suggestions fall apart, as has been the case with the idea that it was a racist conspiracy to say Ilhan Omar might’ve married her brother.
Remember? ⤵️
Well, another successful Halloween has come and gone. We successfully gave out lots of candy to everyone who came by the house. Which was zero people. We had no trick or theaters. Again.
Sigh. I guess I'm going to have to eat all of this myself...
Hah! Happy Halloween everyone!
