“I wish to buy something that tells everyone that I’m richer and better than them.”

Later…

“Waaaah! Everyone’s being mean to me because I’m telling everyone I’m richer and better than them!”

Gender is real, it’s just a human construct. But that doesn’t make it any less real than, say, Italian is real despite it being a human construct.

For those who wish to know the salient details of this clear miscarriage of justice:

Bowman, imprisoned for more than half his life, was convicted of the 2001 killing of Kandee Martin, a 21-year-old childhood friend. He has said he did not kill her and that he refused to accept a plea deal because of his innocence. His attorneys said the evidence used against him was not reliable: the primary witnesses implicating him were two men also charged in the crime who received reduced sentences, and a third man who had pending charges in a separate case, which were subsequently dropped.

His lawyers also argued that the state had withheld evidence casting doubt on the witnesses, including a memo outlining a claim that one of the witnesses had confessed to the shooting.

Bowman’s legal team also argued in a recent petition that the lawyer who represented him at trial had been “infected by his own racism”, writing that the lawyer pressured him to plead guilty because he was Black and his victim was white.

Even if he was 100% guilty of the crime, he did not in any way get a fair trial. By any measure, this was a miscarriage of justice and he should be alive today.

I’m kind of amazed any time anyone in America feels guilt or shame or regret based on their actions at this point, but especially Trump’s fans.

Please note that Elan.school is an incredibly difficult read and could very much be triggering if you went through other kinds of trauma as a teenager.

By coincidence, a friend just posted this elsewhere:

This is some real ignorance of basic macroeconomics.

Sorry… 5% of their GDP isn’t that important?

What the fuck are you talking about?

The U.S. spent over half a trillion dollars on Chinese goods in 2022. You’re telling me they don’t need that?

Note China needs American money just as much as America needs Chinese junk.

They better retool their power plants to use something other than uranium. Last I read, we had about a century’s worth at the current rate of mining.

Very much so:

The poverty figure for the first six months of this year was 52.9%, up from 41.7% in the second half of 2023, said the country’s Indec statistics agency.

Since taking office in December, Milei has slashed subsidies for transport, fuel and energy and sacked thousands of civil servants, as he seeks to bring down inflation and reduce government expenditure.

But hey, he’s curbed inflation! Libertarianism FTW, am I right?

This happened in Peru 100 years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lina_Medina

And in Paraguay, an average of two girls between the ages of 10 and 14 give birth every day: https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2021/nov/30/paraguay-child-teen-pregnancies

That’s how little has changed.

Paraguay’s strict abortion laws – some of the most extreme in the Americas – give child and adolescent abuse victims few options if they become pregnant. Abortion is granted only in very rare cases where the mother’s life is recognised to be in danger.

Pure speculation on my part here, but could it be that this was done at the behest of Russia by the people on the ship, maybe on the orders of the company that owns the ship, but not an officially sanctioned PRC operation?

The “a vote for Kamala is a vote for genocide” people were literally saying before the election that Palestinian genocide cannot get worse because genocide is genocide.

So I guess this isn’t worse?

Congratulations, idealists. You definitely stopped the genocide by refusing to vote for Harris and urging others to do likewise. A+ job.

OP regularly posts articles that simp for Milei.

They paid $2000 to a guy they saw on YouTube to learn how to be tackled by that cop.
