What the Dickens

That is an extremely easy passage, I agree. In a normal world I’d consider that to be what 4th-6th graders should be able to handle.

We do not live in that world. 

There is just nothing very complex or intellectually challenging there, especially if you can use Google. That university students in the US cannot make sense of it is fucking appalling and an indictment of us all.

D-Fens

A people that pathetic perhaps deserves to be Islamicized.

Dang that’s sad.

Aspersion Dispersion

I know it’s popular to cast aspersions on Gen Z (I do it myself), but that’s very normal amount of time in which to expect a promotion from entry level. If I were in an entry-level role and I had not been promoted after two years, I’d be looking elsewhere. After two years you’re no longer entry level. Even if it’s just a bump from, say, tier 1 helpdesk to tier 2, two years is well more than enough time to learn a job and all its ins and outs. An exceptional person can do it in 9-12 months and also should be promoted.

This has always been true, by the way; this is not some weird Gen Z expectation.

Unbeerlievable

I once witnessed my mom drink two 18-packs of Coors Light (her preferred poison) in about three hours. Yes, that’s 36 12-ounce beers. And yes, that’s fucking insane.

By the way, she was 5’2″ and weighed maybe 140 pounds.

Putin Up With It

Exactly. One “easy” way to have open borders is to build a huge damn empire.

Which I guess is one of the reasons Ian Welsh and those types are such Putin fans? I can’t find any valid reasons so I am just spitballing here. Worshipping Putin is both gauche and embarrassing. It’s the lefty equivalent of being a right-wing edgelord. In a way, it’s just pitiful.

But I have no pity because unlike Mr. T, I do not pity the fool.

Anne of Denmark

Tattoos do not look good on either gender, but they are the worst thing to happen to women aesthetically speaking since this popular fashion during the early 17th Century:

The scoop neck is ok, but everything else there is terrible. Just like tattoos. What a sad blight. And combine that with near-ubiquitous obesity and…yeah. It’s bad.
