  1. “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1956) was a warning about Communism.
    570
  2. Back in the 90s when the NYT still practiced journalism, they admitted that McCarthy was right and didn’t go far enough.
    303
  3. That alone tells everyone how bad things have got.
    78
  4. After disembarking from ships at San Carlos on East Falkland, on 21 May 1982, Royal Marines and members of the Parachute Regiment yomped (and tabbed) with their equipment across the islands, covering 56 miles (90 km) in three days carrying 80-pound (36 kg) loads.
    74
  5. 10:08 The creator/author of ‘S3x and the City’ (Candace Bushnell) has since openly and publicly regretted pursuing a career over a family and the massive damage she has caused to women by promoting that mindset.
    54
  6. Strangely the BBC ‘forgot’ to report on this 🤔
    46
  7. Note: You can buy/own fully operational Martini Henry rifles in the U.K. without needing a firearms certificate, because they’re classified as obsolete. (Obviously you aren’t allowed to possess the ammunition, and it costs around £10 per round anyway).
    37
  8. Unaccustomed as he is...
    27
  9. Carl: “It sees everything we’re saying right now”. Also Carl: “I’d rather it was evil”. Me: “Noooooooooooooooo!!!”.
    25
  10. I’m sick of it being used as an alternative to contraception because the participants are too lazy to bother.
    24
  11.  @SeagullsGather  Except a parasitic alien that controls its host is more plausible than total replacement.
    21
  12.  @two_tier_gary_rumain  Yes, if you wish to express it that way. I’m guessing the kid won’t be living in poverty.
    18
  13. “Why us sarge?”… …”Cos we’re ’ere lad, just us”.
    18
  14.  @edenbreckhouse The parties promised to address the problem and then did nothing.
    18
  15. Cool it with the facts
    16
  16. Good point, arguably you never get Chads writing poetry, they’re too busy!
    16
  17. This is known - ‘Seahenge’.
    16
  18. Carl addressing his audience over ‘Carlsbro’ speakers... ...we really are in a simulation 🤣
    16
  19. Because it’s eugenics in disguise.
    15
  20. My instinct is yes, but it’s hard to see how 🤣
    13
  21. Pregnancy tests are now so sensitive, reliable, and cheap that there’s very little excuse for anyone not being able to manage the 6 week deadline.
    13
  22. Paywalling your review of the Reform manifesto, but not the Labour? You might want to rethink that. I’m genuinely appalled. Yes, I know you need to make money, but really?
    12
  23. You’re clearly a grape-ist and must be cancelled immediately.

    12
  25. Now go look at the owners of Ann Summers and Victoria’s Secret… …who knew 🙄 👃
    12
  26. Arguably in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, George could have best helped the community by going to work with Potter.
    11
  27.  @two_tier_gary_rumain  no, they’re not married.
    11
  28. At least Leo wasn’t in this to spout his uninformed nonsense.
    11
  29. I had to do ‘war poets’ for Eng Lit, Tolkien was never mentioned.
    11
  30. If aliens have the technology to come here then they have the ability to get/make any resources they need without having to come here.
    11
  31. Bring back conscription- and ban their phones.
    9
  32. “I, Claudius” as any aficionado knows is pronounced “I Clav-Divs” 😂
    9
  33. The USP of Zip2 was the vector based mapping as opposed to bItmaps which are much easier to do but aren’t as useful and don’t scale easily.
    9
  34. For an excellent sci-fi novel incorporating a sentient AI, “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress” by Heinlein is pretty good. Also ‘The Godwhale’ by T.J.Bass. Other suggestions welcome. And the film “Her” (2013). Oh, and of course the entire ‘Culture’ series by Iain M. Banks.
    9
  35.  @Lonovavir  your comment appears to have been deleted by YouTube
    9
  36. Nuclear fusion has been ‘coming real soon now’ for around 90 years… …yet strangely we’re STILL 20+ years away from a viable solution 🤣
    9
  37. That’ll be Nut-Nut’s hand I expect.
    8
  38. 10,000 years isn’t long in evolutionary terms, so it’s NOT long enough to adapt to major changes in diet.
    7
  39. Taking an action in no way remotely proves that the action is effective in any way whatsoever.
    7
  40.  @Lonovavir  and this comment as well, I only see it via the notification, it’s gone from the thread.
    7
  41.  saxon eyles  Alternatively you could be an adult instead of a spoiled child.

  42. No Failed Scottish comedians with inane opinions... ...works for me.
    7
  43. You’re in a simulation, my response is here to convince you otherwise.
    7
  44. Blackbirds and thrushes are also known to break open snails on an ‘anvil’ rock.
    6
  45. I’ve actually read ‘Dianetics’ and some of his claims have since proved to be true. Medical staff (and visitors) are now trained to avoid negativity around unconscious patients.
    6
  46.  @davestevenson9080 If they’d covered half labour and half Reform then I would agree with you.
    6
  47. Is there a middle or right wing fact checking site? (Other than the Babylon Bee 🤣).
    6
  48. Then there would be accusations of misrepresentation. We’re sorry your feelings are upset.
    6
  49. And with a higher success rate.
    6
  50. It’s not ‘hundreds of thousands of years’, it’s only around 10,000 which is nothing in evolutionary terms.
    6
  51. It we can’t tell the difference, then what practical difference does that actually make?
    6
  52. I’ve found that Elon Musk interviews require an hour or more of in-depth analysis for every minute of what he says in order to fully understand it. An example is when they were opening GigaBerlin and a German minister asked Musk what he thought of hydrogen for cars and Musk just laughed and said “it’s nonsense“. It takes around a day of research to fully understand why it is and many countries/companies still don’t (eg. Japan/Toyota).
    5
  53. I think that might be ‘borrowed’ from Isaac Asimov.
    5
  54. He wasn’t, maybe you should try actually watching the video.
    5
  55. I once had to fit a mains plug (back when appliances were sold without) and had no wire strippers, so I found a flint in the garden outside and knapped it. The edge is remarkably sharp. (Warning, wear eye protection and avoid inhaling the dust).
    5
  56. The BBC series had Patrick Stewart with hair!
    5
  57. Hubbard at a Sci-Fi convention once jokingly remarked that writing for a living was too much like hard work so he was going to start a religion…
    4
  58. Mohammed (pbuh) is also arguably similar.
    4
  59. He’s supposedly a ‘comedian’, but isn’t funny.
    4
  60. Delayed time preference generally correlates with IQ and that’s what correlates with success in modern society. The US Army rejects all below 85 because even they just can’t find a use for them.
    4
  61.  @Honest_Grifter  What part of ‘Had no wire strippers’ did you not understand?
    4
  62. SUGGESTION: Explore the impact of humanoid AI robots entering the workforce within the next decade.
    4
  63. It’s probably better to wait a year, he’s a bit triggered at the moment over Gaza. (Although arguably he’s currently showing what he REALLY thinks).
    4
  64.  @robert5697  It’s a neural network, the fact you apparently don’t know that casts severe doubts on your claim to be a software engineer, what in, COBOL? 🤣
    4
  65. Apparently YouTube doesn’t like my comment on what to do to Dr. Bulmer.
    4
  66. The first thing that African Americans did when they returned to Africa and founded Liberia was to reintroduce slavery of the local indigenous population.
    4
  67.  @whosweptmymines3956  That isn’t a practical difference.
    4
  68. If the film was made today, the portrayal of the black woman donating to George with her wide eyed look and demeanour would be immediately condemned as ‘ism’ despite those same characteristics being regularly shown in TV ads today.
    4
  69. That’s a general rule, but as usual there are exceptions.
    4
  70. Nobody cares

  71.  @captainkenzie6873  Not true, the law changed 2 years ago.
    3
  72. Utter nonsense
    3
  73. Leo can always be relied upon for the worst and most uninformed ignorant opinions.
    3
  74. That’s not what was said.
    3
  75. Given his IQ is around 160-170, such classifications are meaningless because he can just literally make it up as he goes along. This is why he speaks so hesitantly - he’s totally unscripted and working out the answers to questions in real-time.
    3
  76. Humans have brains instead.
    3
  77.  @CoffeeConnected  I know that, I was replying to someone who referenced ‘The Puppet Masters’, a book by Heinlein (51) that predates Body Snatchers (54) and was much later made into a film (94) with Donald Sutherland. Both are worth reading/seeing.
    3
  78.  @FaganThePagan  That was Mimi van Doren 🤣🤣
    3
  79.  @FerdinandFake  I was at work, there was no kitchen.
    3
  80. We can’t.
    3
  81. Both are true, however better wines do generally cost more.
    3
  82. Update: The interesting thing here is: 1) This list was totally ‘off the top of my head’ and just got longer and longer, as I wrote one down another immediately just came to mind. 2) Just about all of these have happened in the last ten years, with most being in the last five. 3) It’s all Left-wing/Communist/Marxist driven, I haven’t seen any at all that could be described as Right-wing Extremist, despite the left insisting that it’s all around us.

  83. Maybe you should try actually watching the video. Cluelessness confirmed Blocked

  84. Do you have her number?… …asking for a friend.

  85. Unlikely in the U.K.

  86. Wasn’t Dick on various drugs for decades?

  87. Jayne

  88. The Ultimatum game.
    3
  89. The BBC used the same lightened photo. And ‘forgot’ to mention his social media posts and his criminal record. Stop giving your money to people who hate you. Cancel your TV licence today.
    3
  90. Projection No?
    3
  91. I’m Spartacus!
    3
  92. Given that the indigenous U.K. population has had a birth rate below replacement levels for decades, if immigration had been zero then the total population would have fallen, generating an oversupply of houses resulting in prices falling. The cause of them rising is therefore obvious.
    2
  93. Very good, now prove it.
    2
  94. No such word, try again when you aren’t drunk.
    2
  95. This poem reminded me of ‘Hotel California’ but I have no idea why.
    2
  96. Women are the gatekeepers of s3x but men are the gatekeepers of relationships and are no longer cooperating. Watch as all the high street purveyors of useless stuff go bankrupt now that men are no longer subsidising the mindless purchases by women.
    2
  97. That’s not how it works.
    2
  98. “Broadsword calling Danny Boy” 🤣
    2
  99. Better than Bette Davis I guess.
    2
  100. Get tested, it’s not hard.
    2
  101.  @Alex_Fahey  It’s thought that it was largely the move to farming plus moving to areas with colder winters that led to the IQ/time preference changes, due to the need for longer term planning.
    2
  102. Tell that to gorillas
    2
  103.  @SlaaneshiChaplain  I expect that’s why I said “might”.

  104. Sargon for PM!

  105. His big head or his little head?

  106. Nobody cares anymore.

  107.  @guser7137  congratulations on telling everyone here that you’re utterly clueless 🤣
    2
  108. You’re welcome to try your theory out on a lion next time you’re at a safari park.
    2
  109. The trouble with most of the ‘classic’ sociological experiments is that over time it’s been revealed that they often aren’t replicable and were sometimes deliberately rigged to get the desired outcome.
    2
  110. Except that by referencing “if statements” you just proved your total ignorance of how AI works.
    2
  111. They like to pretend they do, to the men they think they should like... ...then they pop outside for a quicky with Chad.
    2
  112. The reality is that the best outcome would have been if George had accepted Potter’s job offer.
    2
  113. All you’re doing with your comment is showing the world that you know nothing about AI.
    2
  114. As has EVERYTHING
    2
  115. C’mon you apes…
    2
  116. Arguably the later ones weren’t debated.

  117. Allow me to summarise... ...We’re f****d

  118.  @possiblepilotdeviation5791  good point

  119. Two flints work fine, granite is rarely found in close proximity to flint.
    2
  120. It’s interesting how once you’ve been red-pilled, you realise how much of this nonsense was clearly produced by clueless ‘males’. An obvious example being Chris Martin (update:Coldplay for those who didn’t know). Unless of course you think ‘conscious uncoupling’ is...
    2
  121. How does that help the situation?

  122. Lung damage from the dust is well documented

  131. Self driving EVs will make trains mostly obsolete virtually overnight, HS2 will be obsolete before it’s even finished.

  134. For anyone in any doubts of the depths the police will stoop to, just lookup Mark Kennedy (a.k.a. Mark Stone). Some of them even fathered children with the women who were targeted.

  142.  @richardcahill1234  it portrays a blatantly anti-capitalist view of Potter and attempts to blame him for all the obviously pre-existing shortcomings of many of the other characters.

  143.  @raypurchase801  Given the various claims about Scientology, that’s debatable. Also, owning slaves is cultural and doesn’t necessarily tell you anything about the person at the time.

  150. When I was a kid, you had to get your p r 0 n by physically going into a shop and buying it from a disapproving adult... ...and the pictures had composition and there were stories with plots! One I got had a photographic reconstruction of some of the stories from the Decameron by Boccaccio!

  167. Neither are you.

  168.  @taylorlibby7642  While true, you’re missing my point. Potter continues in business regardless, having George on board to mitigate his more predatory practices combined with the much larger capitalisation than George could ever achieve would result in a better overall outcome. This is not a zero sum game.

  173.  @readhistory2023  George may have shown Potter ways to make more money while being better for the community.

  174.  @beinnice1356  it has nothing to do with math, it’s about showing Potter that it isn’t a zero sum game.

  216. Monogamy was largely invented to stabilise society when humans transitioned from hunter-gatherering to static agriculture. Humans aren’t naturally monogamous and with people now having more free time that’s becoming so blatantly obvious that it can no longer be ignored.

  220.  @RossKempOnYourMum01 While true, ALL humans being mammals, in infancy are obviously lactose tolerant. The mutation was to stop the tolerance being switched off. That’s a relatively simple mutation that doesn’t take long to dominate. Evolving a digestive system to process a high carb diet takes much longer and isn’t just something achieved by switching off a developmental mechanism.
