Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t realise loving the white race and wanting a secure future for white children makes me a BIGOT.

I’ve been reading about the Holocaust a fair bit of late, and it’s interesting to see the debate around the functionalist/intentionalist view of how it happened. OP’s story seems to lend credence to the former version, in that the Nazi state was a patchwork of warring factions that were each trying to take power for themselves and in an effort to do so, tried a little too hard to do what they imagined Hitler wanted of them, namely more and more murder and ruthlessness and general mayhem, eventually culminating in plans for wholesale extermination. This is the functionalist view, where things happened almost in a bottom-up fashion, whereas the intentionalist idea is one where Hitler planned the Holocaust from day one in a top-down approach. I personally think it’s more likely to be the former though, at least from what I’ve read about it anyway.
Growing up in the '80s and '90s, I never really learned much about the Holocaust aspect of WWII. I knew the broad strokes, of course, but the finer details of the Nazi state’s operations are where the true horror lies. Even without WWII or the Holocaust, it was one of the purest examples of a nightmarish dystopia run by corrupt, amoral, incompetent, petty, narcissistic lunatics and sociopaths. The parallels with certain modern governments is terrifying…
I agree with the outrage, but I don’t know that using race science to combat race science is the way to attack this horseshit. Futurism essentially says “the NYT says Asians have small hands, but what the race science actually says is that hand size is yada yada etc. etc.”
Like, is race science silly or is it not? 🤷 If science said that, yes, Asian women have unusually small and “nimble” fingers, it wouldn’t make a bit of difference; the entire concept is stupid and racist, not just the inaccuracy of the hand measurements. Needling over the microdifferences in index finger girth between Asians and Americans (who may well be of Asian descent themselves) is missing the whole-ass point.
As a kid trick-or-treating in 1980s’ N. Ireland, we used turnips. Carving those fuckers was an insanely dangerous and difficult thing for a child to do. They’re rock solid all the way through. Brutal. And ugly as fuck, which is at least in keeping with the spirit of things!
If you don’t wanna read Irish Central and have 20TB of cookies stored on your system, the Wikipedia article is better:
Making the raindrops… chubby??
Most of my teeth are destroyed, decades of neglect due to mental illness. I’ve been hearing about lab-grown teeth for the last 25 years and always hope it happens soon, but the progress sees to be genuine this time. I just hope it doesn’t cost insane amounts of money to get teefs grown.
This is an angle I’ve never considered before, with regards to a future dystopia with a corrupt AI running the show. AI might never advance beyond what it is in 2025, but because people believe it’s a supergodbrain, we start putting way too much faith in its flawed output, and it’s our own credulity that dismantles civilisation rather than a runaway LLM with designs of its own. Misinformation unwittingly codified and sanctified by ourselves via ChatGeppetto.

I wonder why they still haven’t come forward, given that there would be no legal consequences for doing so in 2025.
Her thesis supervisor had argued against her findings at first, she built the detector and found the signal, and she was disbelieved. She had to fight to get her supervisor to even acknowledge that she had found something worth looking at. And the shameless fucking cunt went ahead and accepted the Nobel Prize for it.

Say what you will about Musk, but you gotta hand it to the man; for someone who has sired so many bastards with so many different women, he has somehow remained the world’s biggest virgin.
