    Just some context: Ancient Aliens is racist. It’s roots are literally Nazi.

    You see, it’s only achievements in brown countries that need alien help. The Greeks didn’t need ET for the Colosseum, heavens no. We just scratch our head at Africans or Americans building pyramids and stuff.

    In the 30s, Nazi “researchers” believed in something I’ll call “Ancient Aryans” which is exactly the same as Ancient Aliens except it’s pure Germans who are visiting these primitive cultures and raising architecture. What happened to the Germans? They were annihilated by in-breeding with locals of course.


  • I used to do meter work for the Power Company. I was taught that an arc flash would reach 40,000 degrees (F or C doesn’t matter, don’t ask), and could instantly vaporize tool-steel.

    I have a melted pair of pliers to prove it. Luckily, I was probably the only worker who actually used my PPE and was fine.




  • Our passwords are screwed because the companies that store them can’t be bothered to secure them. All of this could be solved with a regulation that every compromised account means the user is owed $500.

    But of course the contributors to the NYTimes can’t find fault with businesses, instead scolding customers that they’re not protecting the data that they didn’t want collected and the credentials and credit scores we didn’t ask for either.

    Nobody is going to steal your identity, they’re stealing credentials that you didn’t ask for, do not benefit from, and have no control how they’re stored or maintained.




  • Did you know that when obstetrics and gynecology was new, it was seen as absurd. Because midwives and clever-women had always dominated reproductive care and the idea of going to a man was ridiculous.

    The American Medical Association needed to discredit midwives and clever-women. Part of that campaign was legal oppression, by making things like abortion illegal. This is the birth of the anti-abortion movement in America. Not moralists, but capitalists; same as it ever was.




  • Just a reminder that the raid on Waco was about more than modified and stockpiled guns, but it was also about David Koresh raping little girls. So as bad as the three letter apes are, still better than pedos.

    Also, I just want to point out how impotent all those guns were when it came time to oppose the government. Some of you 2nd-brained people should study that.

    Tech in general has a huge boomer-humor problem in that all those old fucks that wrote the original code stuffed it full of puns, in-jokes, and idioms that are only relevant today in retirement homes in Ohio.

    And I don’t mean this is annoying or funny, but as a legitimate problem. It’s bad enough that you have to learn English to code, you also are disadvantaged for not sharing the culture with retirement age white dudes from America.

    It wouldn’t be so bad if it was good boomer humor, but remember, these are the guys who think “Linux Is Not uniX” is funny.


  • To the gun-brained “progressives”: have you ever noticed that the elites, owners, and conservatives all promote and encourage gun ownership? Why do you suppose that is?

    It’s bad enough that all the rednecks think their hobby makes them Daniel Boon without fools on the left thinking a fetish object can turn them into Fred Hampton. You’re just a volunteer gun salesman, congratulations. The NRA loves you.
