Minimum word counts only started appearing when public schools and test organizations could no longer teach and test basic logic and fail writing projects for a person not properly proving their thesis, no matter the word count. That would have impacted several certain demographics too negatively and the overseeing elites of the country couldn't have that. Failing a project for being too schizo, convoluted, and wordy would have impacted Jews too, who thrive on being convoluted and wordy. So schools came up with the word count as it was a good compromise on the mere appearance of sophistication of the English tongue without appearing to fail those same demographics earlier for the evil racism as well as giving a benefit to Jews, who could now easily appear intelligent to admission boards simply from faking the one hundred to two hundred unnecessary words needed to prove a point in an high school thesis paper or SAT and ACT essay section.

This is also why the analogy section for the SAT was removed in the mid-2000's. Those same demographics do poorly with analogies, and we could not give easy proof to the racists chuds of the 80's-2000's that the multicultural project of the 40's onward, at least in public primary education and in secondary education, was an utter failure.

@xianc78 >On something completely anonymous like an imageboard or textboard, you can make bad posts. People will tell you that you belong on Reddit or you should kill yourself, but you can never build a negative reputation for yourself (unless you use a name or tripcode, or make it obvious that all these posts are coming from you). Posts are judged by the content alone, and not by the user.

Agreed. I think textboards still have a chance (see how fucking huge 5ch.net is still as opposed to 8chan.moe/8kun), the problem with imageboards is the sliding issue everyone keeps bringing up, and the bots spamming CP issue that follows every damn imageboard.

There's also the sharty, but it's essentially like rdrama is in the sense it's a board that got thrown off of 4chan making their own site.

Got myself one of these for Christmas. It's nice to finally have a laptop that was actually built for Linux. Expect a review soon.

So today I decided to get a post off my chest, I don't think there will be any future art sites and the future will be federated.

Coding one is above my pay grade, but I decided to make this to hopefully influence someone out there.

To sum up the point I made in my blog post, I think there is a chance that the fedi could boom if an art gallery software used it.

Why? Look at TikTok, it got popular because a few years before, there a very similar app called "Vine" that got bought and killed by Twitter. It was so big for a while that in between Vine's death and the rise of TikTok "vine compilation" videos were big on YouTube.

There is a huge void because art sites are fucking dead and nobody wants to launch a new one because the userbase would be too neurotic. Fedi solves this.

Conservatives Shouldn’t Assume the Supreme Court Will Save Trump | @thobishop

It would be a mistake for conservatives to believe their team will bail out "their guy." In the end, most of those wearing robes are closer to their enemies than their friends.

Government Prohibitions on Raw Milk Are Ignorant and Dangerous | Artis Shepherd

Since government regulates nearly everything, it is not surprising that regulations often prohibit the sale and consumption of raw milk. Like many other regulations, these prohibitions reflect political favoritism, not health science.

Rothbard and Mises vs. Calhoun on the Natural Right to Secede | @ryanmcmaken

Non-liberal secession movements help to illustrate the fundamental differences between liberal defenses of secession—based on natural rights—and other claims.

I don't even want to keep digging up past stuff but that faggot persists in calling anyone who criticizes him a liar while pretending like this shit never happens.

Graf arbitrarily fucks with my remote visibility on FSE and possibly elsewhere. Anyone on poast should move if they value talking to their frens
