    The last research paper I worked on has published at last.

    The process is REALLY slow. I finished all my work on this 3 years ago.

    https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2316969121

    This one uses a lot of my histology and in-situ hybridization with RNAscope results.

    But no more science for me. Now I build houses and driveways... and rip them apart too! It's a sort of yin-yang thing I've got going here.

    A comedic scene from a new Clouseua story I'm fiddling with...

    I just came up with this, and imagining Peter Sellers delivering the line had me laughing for 5 minutes straight.

    Clouseau, "For you see, the murderer was... the bullet!"

    Guy in room, "The bullet?"

    Clouseau, "Of course, no one would suspect the bullet of firing itself!"

    Woman in room, "But that... that's madness!"

    Last call for Bronycon items up on Ebay!

    I'll be delisting all remaining MLP items Sept 1st to focus entirely on selling my huge stash of collectible magazines, which take up vastly more space than the MLP items. Everything here fits into a single flat box I can pick up with one hand. The magazines... weigh over 700 lbs total. Sooooo, kinda makes sense to deal with those ASAP!

Antifa... why titles are often oxymoronic. · 1:35pm Aug 22nd, 2019

And so, once again, the budding leftist terrorist organization proves how vile and wicked they are.

An event created to bring people from every side in together to peacefully talk about numerous issues... is threatened with having its venue burned down... by a group pretending to stand against fascism... while using the most unambiguously fascists tactics possible.

Yes, Antifa's masked hoards of violent lunatics is basically threatening Kristallnacht if people dare get together to exercise their right to free speech and peaceable assembly.

But they made one HUGE mistake this time. NJ is MY HOME. Bring it, you little bastards. We'll be waiting.

EDIT: And now the media has joined the insanity: Wapo's Jennifer Rubin "We need to burn down the Republican Party".

Hmmm, lot of threats of burning things down from the left.

*sigh* Horseshoe theory is a bitch.

5109939 The people of Hong Kong are more American than these spoiled, treasonous little A-holes.

The Hong Kong protestors are PEACEFULLY defending their liberty against a communist regime seemingly hell-bent on dominating the lives, speech, and thoughts of its citizens. They're doing so openly, NO MASKS. They're facing a ruthless military that has a history of opening fire on protestors. Even the wealthiest people in Hong Kong are down there joining the crowds, standing for liberty of their homes when they could easily afford to flee far away. They're doing so fearlessly. THAT is courage. THAT is what freedom-fighters really look like.

What do we have? A bunch of unemployed thugs dressed like ISIS who openly support the very communism which seeks to crush the will of Hong Kong. They beat up elderly people on the street (often in wheelchairs... so brave of them), attacks Jewish people, hates Israel, attacks Hispanics in the military, and anyone else they think just might have voted for Trump. And they depend on gutless Dems in government to protect them from prosecution, which the local Dems do every single time.

On that note, Portland, OR is a total disaster. Go there if you dare and look around. That's what these animals will do everywhere if they're allowed to continue. They are, in every single possible version of the definition, terrorists.

It always surprises me how they fail to realize they're the baddies.

5109947 There is the saying "Every villain is a hero in his own mind."

These Antifa goon are all like mini-Thanoses. Scrawny, undisciplined, unintelligent, pathetic little Thanoses.

But I do think the ones leading them know they're evil. They simply enjoy it.

I feel I should mention that Hitler would be more approving of PETA than any of the actual Neo-Nazi groups. You know, his fellow vegan animal rights activists slash mass murderers.

5109948
Personally I've always subscribed to the philosophy that one should never attribute to malice what can explained with stupidity.

Of course then these truly moronic people come out and and prove that stupidity is truly limitless. Even if they did get their 'utopia' it'd either collapse on itself or be a totalitarian nightmare. Frankly I'm more horrified at the cult like devotion to their beliefs then the actual acts they perform.

M8, I’m part of antifa. If you don’t like Antifa, then kick white supremacists and fascists out of America, and we’ll go away.

My little Pony taught me to protect my friends, and you damn better believe these reactionary right-wing assholes are a threat to my friends.

Got a problem with that? Let me know the next
Con you’re going to, and you can catch these hands.

5109945
I love my Jewish comrades, and will defend them from right-wing antisemitism. And I also hate Israel for being an apartheid state. Long live the Palestinian people!

5109951 It would be amusing to discover how those who virtue-signal about such things would feel if they knew how many of the most dreadful human beings in history promoted the same 'social justice' programs.

5109976 Oh my my my, a little dimwit who thinks he's people. I was hoping one of you morons would show up.

Tell me, my mindless NPC drone... how does beating up people who aren't 'right wing extremists' help fight right wing extremists?

How does looting and burning businesses help promote anything but even further violence?

I've seen the videos of your ilk harassing African-American police officers, Hispanic soldiers, and Jewish people in Philadelphia and elsewhere.

Tell me, oh ye of little brain, if OUR side has all the racists... why is YOUR side the one screaming most of the blatant racism?

Not to mention, one of me is worth a hundred of you. I've dealt with 12 years in Camden, NJ in the 1990's, at the time when it had the highest murder rate in the country. You? You're an infant. And you have the lack of wit to prove it.

There is no 'Palestinian' ethnic group. It's a manufactured term for people who squatted in the region after the fall of the Ottoman Empire post WWI. More migrated in during WWII, and originated from Axis-allied regions run by the mullahs who worked alongside Adolf (we do have the photos of them together, you know. This is what we in the more rational wing of humanity call 'evidence') They have no common ancestry and no historical attachment to the region. This is well-known to anyone with an actual education.

They do not want ANY Jewish state in the entire Middle East, BY THEIR OWN LEADERS' WORDS. Don't try to deceive me with your radical propagandist garbage. I know far too much, and you know far too little.

Or, to put it another way, get yourself some real learnin' before you get schooled.

5109956 They had their utopia: Venezuela.

That hasn't worked out so well.

5109976
Maybe it's because I don't live in a major city (hive of scum and villainy that they are) but I've never seen White-Supremacy. If anything I've seen more Black-Supremacy at work but apparently that's okay because it's not racism to think black can't compete fairly on an even board with white.

As for kicking out fascists... we trying, that's why everyone hates Antifa. Trying to scream down and shut out opposing views with violence is textbook fascist tactics. If you actually have concerns that need to be addressed that's what free speech events like the one Antifa is trying to shut down exist for, communicating your concerns.

If you actually explained why you're so upset that you're okay starting violent riots then we'd listen. But you have to listen to our concerns as well.

5110007
Exactly what they do now: rejecting reality and substituting their own. (Actually, both sides accuse each other of doing that, which is sort of the point where the entire definition of reality starts failing. That's what we call "post-truth" and means people are saying "that's impossible" about something that happened right in front of them and genuinely believing that it fits the actual definition of "impossible" which inherently precludes things that happened right in front of them.)

5109976
I can believe that there are effectively two Antifas at this point: the people that are genuinely acting to stop fascism, and the asshole extremists Alondro is actually talking about who are assaulting people virtually at random while wearing the conveniently disguise-like Antifa uniform. For that matter, having masked assailants known to be out for their blood but seemingly unable to tell them apart from random non-Aryans despite few to no attempts to actually hide who they are is only going to embolden the fascists... Wait a minute. That second group is probably the actual fascists pulling a false-flag operation. The fact that Antifa doesn't otherwise act in a manner that modern media will run in the Clickbait Era further cripples the perception of them.

5110009
Alondro I'm on your side but the name-calling seems a tad immature. And I'm not sure how your 12 years living in Camden are relevant to the points you're trying to make.

I know you're angry at the group and he's presenting himself as an easy target but temper the fury. You're better then they are right?

5110015
IIRC it's the fact that it's not an even board that's the issue; studies have shown that simply having a black-sounding name will reduce the odds of getting to the job interview stage, probably because they aren't technically allowed to discriminate based on race so they have to cut off the black people before they even know about said blackness or they'll be forced to evaluate them honestly. (Or maybe something less horrible, but corporations are overwhelmingly owned by old white men)

5110021
Your false flag theory has a disturbing amount of merit to it. Of course it's quite possible that is what Alondro means by the people behind the scenes of Antifa being evil. Makes more sense to view Antifa as the unwitting pawns of actual fascists then to imagine they're doing what they do is actually a misguided attempt to fight fascism.

5110028
Actually it's because if you fire a white guy for missing shifts, coming in late, and stealing from the business it's okay. But if you fire a black guy for missing shifts, coming in late, and stealing it's discrimination.

There's a double standard a play, and regardless of which side it favors the mere fact it exists is going to create animosity between the two groups.

Again this may be different in other places. Personally. I think people should be given a fair chance to be accepted on merit doing the actual job more then any other factors.

5110035
Yes, firing minorities will get them to cry discrimination, which makes businesses reluctant to hire them in the first place. That sounds like the less horrible option I alluded to. Weird how false claims of discrimination end up leading to actual discrimination...

5110015
From actual federal data, there's only about 10K to 11K people in the white supremacist groups. Their numbers plunged dramatically during the 90's. It's possible they'd be virtually extinct by now if people would stop giving them a media platform, which the mainstream media loves to do to help push the leftist narrative of 'all white people are inherently racist'.

They REALLY need to take a peek at China. Full-on world supremacy ideology going on there now!

5110023 I never see the supposed non-violent Antifa group decry the violent ones... and we have no idea if they're one and the same because the violent ones all wear masks and miraculously escape arrest most of the time, as the police are usually commanded to stand down.

Until they start showing their faces, I'm going to keep mocking them all. Cowards wear masks and attack people with the local governments protecting them. You know, like the Klan did...

5110051 That has only gotten worse in the 'gender identity' era. Now many companies hire solely to fill diversity quotas... though this has also begun to cause a number of them to collapse, as it turns out hiring people without the skills to perform the job is a bad idea.

Just look at the dire straits of the comic book industry lately. They went hyper-woke, and now even the big boys, DC and Marvel Comics, are floundering. There've been tremendous job cuts and entire divisions shut down.

And with good reason. I've seen some of the comics put out lately, lauded as 'progressive'... the artwork doesn't hold a candle to anything from the Golden Age. It's so simplistic, even I can draw some of it! And I suck!

5110112
To be fair I think they're trying to pretend China doesn't exist. Just like how they pretend Islam is a religion of peace.

I mean if you stop and look at CHina you're realize we're sliding into a Cold War scenario with them. We're trying to stay polite with them (in other words ignore that they're blatantly evil) in the hopes they'll just collapse like every other communist country and we can go on with our mostly peaceful world. Unfortunately they've copied culturally appropriated just enough from capitalism to remain functional so it's just a matter of time before someone pushes too far.

5110117
To be fair, DC and Marvel have both floundered repeatedly and always managed to recover (one of DC's floundering moments was when Marvel came along and they stopped being able to coast on being the only game in town, in fact!) Once profit margins get low enough, they're going to end up firing whoever caused the problem, because they've been in the business long enough to look legitimate when claiming a return to past glories. (Or they'll just move to the cinema full-time, but that also looks to be crashing and burning on the weakness of social justice narratives as stories)

Also, y'know, 5110029 definitely seems to be in the "anti-fascist but considers masked murderers to be sabotaging the cause from what they claim to be the inside but come on who do they think they're fooling" camp.

5109977

5110009
Israel and her people have earned their right to exist.

5110116
Rules for thee but not for me Alondro. Or more specifically because they are in the right anything done is justified even if they can't pin what subject they're right on never mind why they're right

5110137

because they are in the right anything done is justified..

Rather like ISIS, isn't it? :raritywink:

5110171
A less classy guy might say at least ISIS destroys things and hurts people, they have the courtesy to blow themselves to hell in the process, but one must understand that Antifa does their own sort of self destruction:trollestia:

5110174 On a side note, Hasbro has realized woke people have no money... and are now actively trolling them.

Naturally, Twitter is filled with REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.exe responses.

Huh. Alondro and Super Trampoline clashing. I somehow never considered it before, and now I'm wondering why I haven't seen it more often.

5110311 Did any stories written by ST ever make it into the Feature Box or Popular Stories list? If not, I'd have only ever seen comments, which I tend to forget about rather quickly unless I find them particularly clever or interesting. Then I remember them for at least a full day! :derpytongue2:

5110323
He's written quite a large number of stories, but most of them are "low effort shitposts". (I don't think those are his exact words, but it's close enough.) I'm pretty sure at least a few have ended up in the Feature Box, though. He also organized the FimFiction Feghoot Festival, which had a number of entries from well known users make it into the feature box. But I think he's mostly known for shitposts, both as stories and in his blogs.

5110216
I think hasbro has a habit of taking the piss. I remember before I joined here I saw a MLP play tea set. It had Celestia... and Rainbow Dash

5110358 Ah, that explains all those stories I was seeing. I don't get into the details of the various contests and whatnot. I just read what looks either promising, or so ludicrous I just have to take a peek.

Random nonsense isn't worth my reading time. In the same way that most movies aren't worth my ticket money.

They aren't Fascistii.

They're infinitely worse.

They're Bolsheviks.

5113605 I think they've managed to combine the two into something truly demonic.

5113724
Believe me, look up the tactics of the Bolsheviks leading up to and during their little "revolution" that brought about the birth of the USSR.

This is textbook Bolshevism, which makes sense since AntiFA has been around for a lot longer than people know, since the Weimar Republic.

Trust me; just because a pack of hyenas and a pack of wolves look somewhat similar and use similar tactics doesn't mean they are the same animal. Their behavior is different, their mindset is different, and how they kill is different.

While I have distaste for both, a pack of hyenas is infinitely more dangerous, by simple dint of the fact that your average wolf isn't necessarily insane.

You can predict a wolf.

Hyenas are batshit nucking futs.

I don't like either of them, but I'd rather deal with wolves than hyenas.

5113767 Also just found out Antifa is going to be attacking an ICE facility in Philadelphia (they're actually trying to call themselves ninjas and named it the Naruto Run... these little A-holes are beyond delusional)... and the generally rowdy 'Made in America' concert with anti-police Jay-Z will be nearby on the parkway... dear lord, this has all the makings of a disaster.

5113767 I know. I've read and watched many accounts of it. The promises of free everything, making jobs and medical care 'rights' to be controlled and delivered by the government... right down to calling themselves 'democratic socialists'.

And they also have adopted the speech and tactics of the brownshirts, while their party leaders utilize the media and entertainment in the manner of Goebbels.

They are everything that has ever been done wrong all wrapped up in one hideous package.

5113833
(Bangs head on table) Bolsheviks came up with the tactics first. The Hitlerists adopted and adapted them later.

They're Bolsheviks.

Call the Devil by his name.

Horseshoe theory is an inherent fallacy.

5113832
They're escalating.

It's almost amusing to see everyone freaking out about "ZOMFG FUGGIN NOTZEES" when we have literal BOLSHEVIKS marching in the streets and in the halls of Congress.

You know what the irony is?

The National Socialist party of Germany only came to rise in response to the activities of AntiFA and the attempted Red Revolutions held during the Weimar Republic. Millions died, and all the degeneracy we see in America was present in Germany during that time; pick your flavor of soul-rot.

Now, they are marching AGAINST MUH FASHIZZUM...when there is no fascism around...again.

Each and every damn time, these idiots literally, LITERALLY, create the monster they are swearing to Tranny Jesus that they are fighting.

Their efforts to kill the shadow merely gives rise to the beast itself, and normal, decent, everyday folk run to hide beneath the beast from the mob; its demand for the occasional sacrifice, in their mind, outweighing the certain doom the Bolshevik mobs promise.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so damn blood-chillingly serious.

5113902 Humanity is usually distressingly predictable.

We could easily pull out of this spiraling descent, but fear keeps the masses moving like sheep spooked by wolves.

And far too many have rejected the Shepherd.

We really are in Clown World...
