The Refried Presidency: Trump Hateful Machine/Fossil Fuel Boogaloo or Whatever Continuation

So the top 200 owners of $TRUMP coins got to go to a dinner last night with the President. While people like me were worried about Trump selling the office to those that bribed him, it looks instead like he conned the crypto people. He just showed up, made a few remarks repeating things he's already said, and left.

 

I think I might have dated her!

 

Very smart!!

 

Trump's saying there's going to be 50% tariffs on all goods from Europe.

 

No. "Masculinity" is cultural, not biological. There is no "inherent" form of masculinity because it is cultural, not biological.

The ancient Greeks viewed male homosexual relationships as the highest form of masculinity, as evidenced by the Sacred Band of Thebes (contrary to what the movie 300 says).

 

Approximately 840 billion pennies were made since 1921. I have 1 to 1.5k of the copper ones. Don't even think about copping them as that caper has already been tried but the cops cleanly caught the culprit and corralled him!

 

They don't come from Europe, do they?

 

That would be ouiPhones

 

CGP noted that dime and quarter makes using the quarter inconvenient. If you round to the .10, you can only use the quarter in pairs and you can’t use quarter dime combos. Rounding to .05 means you can’t round to .05 and .15.

 

"Give me your money, nerds. Now I gotta go take a dump. MAGA!"

 

A couple of interesting comments from Rachel Maddow.
Its well worth your time listening to her on Trump and the military’s legal right to arrest civilians.
The collection of ‘everyones’ personal information.
Then their plan for Social Security.

I don't see that as a problem. It doesn't have to be consistent, just convenient.

 

Oh, he's definitely past spinning the Wheel Of Bigly Tariffs.

 

On an unrelated note, I recently measured how tall I was, something I haven't done since I was in my 20's. I found out that I am the same height, but every ruler on Earth has shrunk by half an inch per yard.

 

Three quarters and three dimes makes a buck o five. Which happens to be exactly the cost of freedom.

 

Masculinity is a vague and complex idea. I know you mean well, but to say that it is 100% cultural or 100% biological is utterly ridiculous. It, whatever it is, is a mixture, and depending on one's particular notion of what it actually is, those percentages would change. Does this really need to be explained?

 

Y'know...if only I had picked up all the pennies I saw on the ground when I walked from the Brooklyn Bridge to Long Island I'd be rich!

 

What is considered masculine varies by culture and is culturally determined. Because it varies by culture and is culturally determined, it is "a vague and complex idea". You are not biologically born masculine (or feminine), you do not biologically develop into masculine; instead, your culture tries to shape you into becoming masculine (if you belong to a masculine gender, as the society determines masculinity). The latter explains why cultures have rites of passage designed to "turn boys into men".

edit: I will grant you that the biological aspect of brain development will predispose you to identifying with one gender over another, as your culture determines them.

 

The average shrinkage is roughly .06mm per year after the age of 30 (that's the number we used in older forensic anthropology textbooks when doing stature estimates, so it may have been updated), and females will generally shrink more than males.

 

I think you have been brainwashed by people who live in an imaginary world, disconnected from reality. There is a huge component of masculine behavior that is biological. I would argue that it is mostly biological, but obviously some part of it is social, especially since it has no precise definition. There is a movement in our society to try to obfuscate and deny what is obvious, but I have never been confused by that nonsense. Up is down and down is up in the wacko, post-modernist world of nonsense. I think we're going to find out that some of it is driven by BPA and other chemicals in plastics. I do not have this gender confusion. Enjoy the show!
