Non binary isn't quite the same as unknown. At least I don't think it is. Maybe it is.
But I could be wrong. Maybe non binary means a kind of gender superposition where you don't know the gender until you check for yourself.

I've always like the word y'all. I think English could use some more pronouns.
Mrs. Crouton has a friend. She was born a female but then decided she was non binary(I have no idea what this means) . She wanted the pronoun 'they', which doesn't make any god damn sense because they denotes a group of more than one. And unless she has a split personality disorder this is just wrong. 'It' would be more accurate. But calling someone 'it' is obviously really offensive. Hence the need for more pronouns.
Liberals and sjws have tried to invent pronouns for this but it just doesn't work. So I'm sorry but the responsibility of coming up with new pronouns falls on the American South. They're the only group that can make legitimate new pronouns.

« on: May 13, 2024, 09:37:39 AM »I know what it means. But this meaning is used in Turkish. We use such an expression when we don't have a reason to disagree with something, when we actually need to participate, when we don't want to do it, or when we want to postpone it for now. But this is valid for Turkish.Wut?It is complete nonsense that after the United Nations general assembly approves a country's membership, the decision goes to the security council. In general, it is correct and logical for the majority to approve joining the community.
Members of the United Nations security council supervise all decisions like a big brother above other members. It's like preventing it from turning into a disaster if the other members make a decision for the world's evil. The decision made by the majority must be valid, whether right or wrong.
In our example, even if 80 percent of the members accept, only one member will veto the decision because he is a member of the Security Council and Palestine will not succeed in becoming a member in its rightful cause.
This situation brings into question the role and reliability of the United Nations in general.
I do not disagree.
Here, only I can use two negative suffixes or words in the same sentence.
It means that I find no reason to disagree with you but I have not decided if I fully agree.
I'm sure you're aware that this is complete nonsense for English. So much so that even I don't use it anymore from for a while.
English is a crazy language that breaks its own rules constantly.
It means he reluctantly agrees with you.

Russia is throwing everything they have at Ukraine before US supplies start to arrive.
their losses are considerably higher than normal which signals reckless attacks.

What a stupid strategy. England is not openly attacking Russia. Russia could have done this with a closed method, like England did.
The Houthis appear as heroes in the side of the world's Muslims and Russia could have helped them against England in their war "against the infidels" and settled this problem quietly and Wisely. Alternatively they have Wagner. They could establish a terrorist organization like ISIS, as the Obama did, and thus they could easily respond to any country they wanted. And no one could blame them "directly". But they chose to scream like an enraged bear.
I don't understand why Putin doesn't call me as a strategic advisor. Guess he is below average in terms of intelligence.
Wagner... That's brilliant! It worked great for Aragorn!

It is unacceptable, and harkening back to the 1930s in Europe. Our @InsidePolitics show open, here.
When I read the tweet I thought it was Fox News, but this is CNN. I do not think it helps anyone to be this hyperbolic. Yes, there has been some antisemitism from the pro Palestine side, but no one is rounding up the Jews.
The House just passed the "Antisemitism Awareness Act" with only 21 Republicans voting nay, and 70 Democrats voting nay. We are on the verge of Congress passing hate speech laws, which will take an act of the Supreme Court to strike down.
So just like Europe.
It's not something we should emulate.
This particular law the house just passed I think it allows restricting federal funding to universities that fail to curb antisemitism while making the definition of antisemitism vague enough to include criticism of the Israeli government. I tried to read the actual text. It's difficult to parse. It seems like it's dangerously close to first amendment territory.

« on: April 30, 2024, 08:45:32 AM »Ukraine Agenda topics:
1- Half of Ukraine is occupied (or liberated) by Russians. Europe tries various ways to prevent the Russians from entering the west of the Dnieper River. Western public opinion's failure to mention the Russian advance does not magically stop the Russian advance.
2- In order to resist Russian air attacks, Clown President Zelenski requested at least 7 Patriot battery systems from the West. There are a total of 100 Patriot systems in NATO. There is intense pressure from the United States to send some of the Patriot systems to Ukraine from countries that are far from Russia or are not at risk of war. The biggest pressure is on Germany. Germany is the country that has already sent 2 of the 3 Patriot systems in Ukraine. He said he would send another one. Pressure is now focusing on Greece and Spain. One of Spain's batteries protects Turkey's southern border, and if they withdraw it, there may be a crisis between Türkiye and Spain. On the other hand, Greece does not want to weaken its defense due to Turkish paranoia.
3- According to a newly put forward report, Ukraine, which the UN has not approved its border ,is not actually a state. I am of this opinion too. If we approach the issue in this context, the USA is sending 61 billion dollars of aid to Russia to fight against Russia.
4- It is said that NATO soldiers, who are in Western cities of Ukraine for training and intelligence support, may participate more in the war if Russia's advance continues. It is also said that the US elections are what will trigger this. It is also rumored that if Biden is elected, some NATO countries (USA, UK, France) may go to war against Russia. US aid of $61 billion has not yet reached Ukraine. The fate of this aid is also wondered by the European public.
I just wrote these, it was probably a 6-month update.
You already know my general opinion on which side I support in this war. However, I want to tell something different. I have friends who go to Ukraine to work or as a tourist, and there are people from Ukraine. These people have absolutely nothing to do with Western culture and have higher standards. They are not people who attach much importance to material things, and capitalism has not been able to capture them. On the other hand, unlike the Russian and Chinese people, they are not communists. In this context, I would not want the Ukrainian war to end and Ukraine neither to become a Western country nor to join Russia. I think if they had remained themselves, they would have been a good example for the whole world. But neither the West nor Russia gave them this chance.
I hope there will be peace and the Ukrainian people will continue to enjoy their own culture. Without integrating with the West or Russia. Ahmm, they could be a little closer to Russia, I guess that wouldn't be a problem.
1. As has been pointed out it's 18%. This is not a secret in Western media.
3. Well that isn't the context. Ukraine’s been a country recognized by the UN and Russia since 1991.
4. There are something like 60 advisors in Ukraine. They're not about to take up arms and start fighting. There is no will in the US from either Biden or Trump to formally go to war with Russia.
They're trying to integrate with the West as a defense from being eaten by Russia. The EU and NATO have historically been resistant to adding Ukraine because we're worried about pissing off Russia but that strategy didn't work out so well.

So apparently the IDF has a unit that specializes in controlled demolitions. Entire city blocks at a time. They film videos where they seem to be bragging about this.
It's some really strange PR. It would be understandable to blow up a house if there's some terrorists holed up in there. Maybe not a city block. Also I would think that if there were terrorists occupying that building then they'd probably notice the IDF rigging it to explode. Which leads me to think that they're blowing up buildings for reasons that don't have much to do with defeating Hamas.

On the NYT "Student Protest Leader at Columbia: ‘Zionists Don’t Deserve to Live’". The headline is misleading. It's in a video one of the protesters made in January. It's not something he's chanting in this protest.
The Washington Post is a bit more moderate about it but their headlines still frame it as something ominous. They've referred to these tent situations as gaza encampments.
Overall it just makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The coverage and the reactions by politicians and the MSM would lead me to believe that a lot of Jewish students are being attacked by the protesters but I can't find any incidents of this beyond the video of that woman who said she was poked in the eye.
Left leaning media has been much more critical of these protests than the George Floyd protests which were way more destructive.

Minor update.
I thought maybe I was doing something wrong so I decided to do a little more research into kicking off devices from my spotify account and I cam across this; https://community.spotify.com/t5/Other-Podcasts-Partners-etc/Unable-to-sign-out-of-Tesla/td-p/5067351
Basically this is a known problem that Spotify has had since 2020 and they have no intentions of acknowledging let alone fixing it.
So because of these circumstances and NATO encroachment and my legitimate security concerns and also the Grand Dutchy of Lithuania in the 1300s, I must declare a special military operation against Ukraine. Well not the entire country, just this one guy.
My arsenal is the Tesla app through which I can;
Open the sunroof
Open and close the rear hatch
Open the frunk
Honk the horn
Flash the lights
Open the garage door
Stop the charger
Unlock the charge port
Control the AC
Regrettably most of these are disable when the car is in motion, AC control is the exception to this.
The first thing I attempted was lowering the AC to the point where it would freeze whoever is in the car. The lowest temperature I can set is 59 f. It is unclear if this is low enough to freeze a human solid or induce suspended animation. More experimentation is needed.
I really wish the horn was something I can remotely trigger when the car is moving.
Mostly I'm going to keep opening doors and honking the horn until he gets frustrated and does a hard reset on the car which should also remove spotify access and mostly likely shatter NATO and the West.

The police will often agitate the situation.
There's always going to be clueless idiots and sometimes agent provocateurs.
Anyone trying to defend what's being protested will focus on the worst elements in the protests and cast that as the majority opinion of the protestors.
Protest movements are often a game where the goal is to goad the other side into committing violence.
Those defending what's being protested will often push the protesters into adopting the most extreme version of their position and casting the movement as dangerous extremists.
