Blame Grover Norquist for the absolute garbage right wing libertarian agenda now.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

The crazy part is how much politics has evolved since Libertarianism was founded. Now it's flooded with a bunch of right wing social agendas with the worst economic policies.

Grover Norquist should be who you link to now. He's the guy who hates government so much he wanted one so small he could drown it in a bathtub. He's also the reason their economic ideas are so embarrassingly bad the party never gets taken seriously.

Coconut crabs are heavy. Heaviest crab on earth. It also climbs trees, the most common is the coconut tree for which it is named. Those claws open coconuts like soft butter, which is specifically why they are called coconut crabs. So, with those details, here's how a coconut crab hurt aviation history:

A colony of crabs climbs a coconut tree. The weight of so many crabs that high in a tree causes the tree to lean, allowing more crabs to climb. Crab critical mass is reached and the tree, bent over like an arch, starts to lose crabs. Being crabs, they drag each other down as a crabalanche clears the palm of all but a lone coconut crab. The tree snaps back upright and hurls the lonely crab into the sky.

Coconut crabs are unable to swim, so it had little choice but to struggle and grab at anything - like a low flying aircraft. Scared, lost, and cold, the crab frantically grabs at anything it can reach, but her aircraft is cloth covered wood spars. Frantic, clumsy claws punch holes in cloth and splinter wood. Amelia has no control as the plane tumbles to earth, splattering across the deserted islands below. She never stood a chance against the crabs.

We got the crabs in the end though. When the South Pacific was chosen wasn't the remoteness of the islands that gave us the perfect target to test nukes during the 50s; it was revenge.

UChicago administration needs to have their paychecks withheld until the seniors graduate. They need to do their job; no hand outs to lazy UChicago admins if folks did the work and dont graduate.

It's their own system! People who don't believe in something never proven have to prove shit in order to be understood as "not crazy". Science then proved God doesn't matter in weather, dreams, etc those crazy religious nuts are desperate to be relevant again.

At least science doesn't force people to accept it by murdering whole generations of people. The crusades were religion trying to prove shit is real.
