Canadians paid more in taxes last year than they did for the basic necessities of life: Fraser Institute - The Hub - "As authors Jake Fuss and Leo Plumer calculate, over the last year the average Canadian family earned $96,333 and paid $35,047 in taxes, or 36.4 percent of their income. For basic necessities—housing (including rent and mortgage payments), food and clothing combined — families paid $34,105, or 35.4 percent of their income... The tax bill has also greatly outpaced the increase in the Consumer Price Index"

Woman makes 3 million yuan by taking out insurance on flights she thought would be delayed - "A woman has been arrested by police in Nanjing for getting rich off the tendency in China for flights to take off late.  The 45-year-old woman, surnamed Li, booked hundreds of flights from 2015 to 2019. She had no intention of actually taking these trips. Instead, her only goal was to purchase flight delay insurance to turn the flight into a money-making opportunity.  Before buying the insurance, Li would analyze local weather conditions and online reviews to judge which flights would be most likely to be delayed or canceled.  In this way, she booked over 900 flights in those five years, using her name as well as the names of her friends and family members and made a whopping 3 million yuan ($423,000) in the process."

Mother finds out her son's bride is her long-lost DAUGHTER on their wedding day - "The woman was reportedly able to recognise her daughter, from whom she had been separated from many years ago, by a birthmark on her hand on the day of the ceremony... The wedding was able to go ahead after it was established that the woman's son had been adopted, meaning they were entirely unrelated to each other... She was prompted to ask the bride's parents if their daughter had been adopted.   The parents were taken aback by the question before saying that they had adopted the child after finding her by a roadside over 20 years ago.   On hearing the story, the bride burst into tears and described the moment of meeting her biological mother as 'happier than the wedding day itself'"

Gordon Ramsay's dwarf porn double Percy Foster dies in badger den - "A DWARF porn star who was Gordon Ramsay's double has been found dead in the most bizarre of circumstances, according to UK tabloid The Sunday Sport.  Percy Foster's 107 centimetre (3'6") body was discovered in a badger's den in Wales.  The report says the 35-year-old was found, "deep in an underground chamber by Ministry of Agriculture experts ahead of a planned badger-gassing program."...

Gad Saad on Twitter - "Think about the original conception of a government in a free society. It was supposed to offer some very basic services (domestic protection; protection from foreign enemies, etc.) and then step out of your way. Over the years, governments have encroached on every possible personal decision. In Quebec, the government will tell you when you are allowed to open your outdoor f***ing terrace (if you are a cafe owner). They will tell you how you are allowed to make changes to your OWN home. They tell you everything. And we simply acquiesce. Imagine if we were to stand up in unison (therein lies the impossible challenge) and reject the current reality. Imagine if we were to reject ANY governmental intrusion beyond the original libertarian mandate. Oh what a wonderful word this would be (in the words of Armstrong)."

Tony Posnanski on Twitter - "And @VitaCoco don’t come at me with your shit is pressed or comes from the finest baby coconuts. Your shit is nasty like all coconut water."
"Let us send you some, don't knock it till you try it."
"Fuck that. Save that nasty shit for someone else. I would rather drink your social media persons piss than coconut water."

Facebook - "Listening to Glenn Greenwald on Joe Rogan. Astonishing. He is now exactly where many of us were five years ago, and he’s in the first phase of angry realization about how this ideological movement is discarding traditional liberal values of free speech. I can’t believe this is the same guy not that long ago more concerned with the content of the Charlie Hebdo cartoons than the fact that people were and continue to be murdered over them.   Things are playing out as we warned. That Twitter and Facebook are now exercising veto power over the New York post, founded by Alexander Hamilton, whatever the merits of the Post, is deeply troubling.  Greenwald makes a solid point. Ask people what they think of Facebook, they despise Mark Zuckerberg. Ask what they think about the court system, they think it is authoritarian and oppressive. Ask people what they think about the US government, they think it is a fascist state run by Donald Trump. Then ask them – so you think all those people should be given much greater power to regulate the speech you create and consume? The answer is enthusiastically yes.   Don’t be surprised after Biden likely wins when the same movement very quickly starts to make his life impossible, and not in the good faith way of honestly holding politicians accountable.

Boys Who Got Lost in MacRitchie Forest to Find Shrine Were Found by Soldiers - "they didn’t inform their parents, nor did they bring along food or water because they assumed there would be vending machines there."

'As a result of my upbringing, I am properly clothed at all times': When S'pore made nudity in own home illegal (in public view) - "In Ho's speech on the amending the bills, he pointed out the need to "maintain a certain level of public morality and behaviour" and that the crux of the bill was to protect the "morality and dignity of neighbouring residents and passers-by"...   The issue of intent was brought up during the 1996 parliamentary session as well.  No less than then-nominated member of parliament, and future Attorney General, Walter Woon brought up the issue.  Woon said that in the times Singaporeans were in (1996 of course), whether just the sight of a nude body was "so disgusting" that Singapore had to criminalise it becomes a contentious issue.  He then warned of potential future private prosecutions by "prudish prim busybodies". Thus, Woon argued, with the inclusion of the word "intentionally" in the first line of section 27A, many of those woes could be deterred.  Now, if you're reading about this in 2020, you would most likely know that the word "intentionally" was not in fact placed in the first line, or at all... intent is not an unheard of modifier to any private nudity laws that might come up... Woon also gave a very succinct piece of advice for those who offended by the sight of a neighbour's nudity:      "Stop looking into your neighbour's windows!"  Choo took umbrage at Woon's remarks, asking him if he was on the side of the public, or the side of the nudists.  To that Woon directly asked Choo if he bathed fully clothed, or if he ever disrobed completely... Choo, rounding up the exchange, gave a passionate defence on his moral stance:      "Since Prof. Woon asked about my private life, I think I ought to reply. As a result of my upbringing, I am properly clothed at all times.""

The Case for Disaggregating the European Union: It Has Never Acted as One Body, and It Will Work Better if Treated as Such - "Prior to the Maastricht Treaty, the European project was commonly referred to as the “European Communities.” There was the European Coal and Steel Community, the European Atomic Energy Community, and the European Economic Community—all governed by the same set of Brussels-based institutions. If, 30 years in, the bundling of these groups into the EU has not produced greater unity, perhaps it is time to start thinking about the EU in pluralistic terms again. It may not be one monolithic entity but a multiplicity of only partially geographically overlapping projects of economic and political integration... The idea is by no means radical. The EU has long featured a single market, in which several nonmembers take part. There is also the Schengen Agreement and the currency union, which both include subsets of EU members and some nonmembers. While the EU strives to make its lowest common denominator attempts at common security and foreign policies viable, member states, large and small, often act on their own. Explicit and implicit carve-outs and special accommodations exist in many other areas, including the Irish protocol on the Lisbon Treaty, Denmark’s opt-outs from the Maastricht Treaty, and Poland’s opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights...  An unbundling of the EU would be a simple acknowledgment of reality today. Its alternative, namely obstinate insistence on European unity and one-size-fits-all solutions, will not lead to an ever closer union. Instead, it is the surest path to the bloc’s paralysis and ultimate irrelevance."

‘Culture wars’ are fought by tiny minority – UK study - "A disproportionate amount of political comment on social media is generated by small, politically driven groups, according to the analysis. It found that there was actually widespread agreement in the UK over topics such as gender equality and climate change – often seen as culture war issues... 12% of voters accounted for 50% of all social-media and Twitter users – and are six times as active on social media as are other sections of the population... 62% of Brits said they had used social media in the past 24 hours, but that this was much higher for certain groups. The figure rose to 83% for those it described as “progressive activists”. It found that most voters balanced competing political concerns and ideas. Its polling found that 73% believe hate speech is a problem, while 72% believe political correctness is an issue. Some 60% believe many are too sensitive about race, but 60% also recognise issues around “white privilege”. Researchers found significant differences between the US and UK. They found a stronger inclination towards moderation in Britain, with 55% of the population saying they were in the centre of politics. While the questions asked in the US were not identical, only 33% identified as moderate. “The overall picture in the US is two wings which hate each other and an exhausted majority in the middle,” the report states. “In the UK it’s more a kaleidoscope, which makes us well placed to avoid going down the path towards full polarisation… The seven segments form different coalitions depending on the issue.”"

Chris Cuomo accused of sexual harassment following brother’s downfall | The Star - "Following the downfall of former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, his younger brother and confidant, CNN prime-time host Chris Cuomo, has been accused of sexually harassing his former boss in 2005.  Shelley Ross, a journalist who used to be Cuomo’s producer at ABC News, accused him of touching her inappropriately at a going-away party for a colleague in New York. After bear-hugging her and squeezing her buttock, Cuomo told Ross he could “do this now that you’re no longer my boss”"

Escape The Echo Chamber - Posts | Facebook - "Old study, yada , yada. It came up in an online discussion about the efficacy of the FBI and child abductions. A few lines stood out that have been true for decades. There are 50 million school age children in this country and less than a hundred are abducted by strangers each year."
“According to a 2002 federal study on missing children, 99.8 percent of children reported missing were located or returned home alive.”…
“The study estimated that most of missing children cases involved runaways from juvenile facilities and that only an estimated 0.0068 percent were true kidnappings by a stranger. The primary conclusion of the study was that child abductions perpetrated by strangers rarely occur.”…

I masturbate to pictures of Ben Shapiro almost every day just because I know he would hate the idea of a male wanking to him : confessions - "it's actually really difficult because I don't find him sexually attractive in any way and especially just his headshots but I have done it every day for about 2 years because I found it funny at first but now I'm so used to it that it makes me feel incomplete if I don't do it every day."

This cardboard standee in a S'pore supermarket proves we don't understand double entendres - ""I've tasted pussy, have you?"... Pussy is an energy drink first started in the UK by one Jonnie Shearer, now a millionaire from its success.  It is currently banned in the UK by their Advertising Standards Authority for being too sexually explicit, though we aren't sure why."

Polish man wakes up in a morgue refrigerator after being declared dead - "A 25-year-old Polish man who was declared dead after drinking too much vodka woke up and found himself in a morgue.   And rather than go home to sleep after the terrifying ordeal, the man went straight back out to re-join his friends at the pub.  The man, called Kamil, passed out after indulging on the spirit in Kamienna Góra, a town in the south-west of the country... The account was similar to an incident in Russia last year where a man who had been partying in the Khansanky region in the country's far east also found himself in a morgue... In 2014, Polish woman Janina Kolkiewicz, 91, spent 11 hours in cold storage in a mortuary after being declared dead."

You Aren't Actually Mad at the SATs - "The University of California system is getting rid of its SAT/ACT requirement. More will follow... Liberals repeat several types of myths about the SAT/ACT with such utter confidence and repetition that they’ve become a kind of holy writ. But myths they are.
1. SATs/ACTs don’t predict college success. They do, indeed...
2. The SATs only tell you how well a student takes the SAT... The SAT doesn’t just predict college performance, though it does that very well. It predicts all manner of major life events we associate with higher intelligence. And since the SAT and ACT are proxy IQ tests, they almost certainly provide useful information about all manner of other outcomes as well. Intelligence testing has been demonstrated to predict constructs like work performance over and over again. The SAT/ACT are predictive, and they predict differences between test takers because not all people are academically equal. Obviously.
3. SATs just replicate the income distribution... I believe that this research represents the largest publicly-available sample of SAT scores and income information, with an n of almost 150,000, and the observed correlation between family income and SAT score is .25. This is not nothing. It is a meaningful predictor. But it means that the large majority of the variance in SAT scores is not explainable by income information...
In general, progressive and left types routinely overstate the power of the relationship between family wealth and academic performance on all manner of educational outcomes. The political logic is obvious: if you generally want to redistribute money (as I do) then the claim that educational problems are really economic problems provides ammo for your position... what correlation does exist between SES and academic indicators might simply be the metrics accurately measuring the constructs they were designed to measure. And throwing money at our educational problems, while noble in intent, hasn’t worked. (People react violently to this, but for example poorer and Blacker public schools receive significantly higher per-pupil funding than richer and whiter schools, which should not be a surprise given that the policy apparatus has been shoveling money at the racial performance gap for 40 years.) All manner of major interventions in student socioeconomic status, including adoption into dramatically different home and family conditions, have failed to produce the benefits you’d expect if academic outcomes were a simple function of money...
4. SATs are easily gamed with expensive tutoring. They are not...
5. Going test optional increases racial diversity. This one, I think, must be called scientifically unsettled. However both Sweitzer, Blalock, and Sharma and Belasco, Rosinger, and Hearn find no appreciable increase in racial diversity after universities go test-optional. “Holistic” application criteria like admissions essays almost certainly benefit richer students anyway. What’s more, we have to ask ourselves what “diversity” really means in this context. Private colleges and universities keep the relevant data close to the vest, for obvious reasons, but it’s widely believed that many elite schools satisfy their internal diversity goals for Black students by aggressively pursuing wealthy Kenyan and Nigerian international students, whose parents have the means to be the kind of reliable donors that such schools rely on so heavily... the controversy over college entrance examinations stems not from the examinations themselves, but from the fact that they reveal profound differences in human capital that make progressives uncomfortable. The SATs don’t create inequality. They reveal inequality... the more valid a test is, the more powerful it is, the more inequality it reveals, as it becomes capable of demonstrating finer and finer-grained distinctions between test takers. Most people are bothered by this tendency to reveal inequality because of troublesome and persistent group differences. Traditionally the gender education gap was cited as a source of concern, but because the gender positions have flipped (outside of a few stubborn fields), most progressive people don’t care much. The racial achievement gap, however, is still the singular obsession of the American education politics, policy, and research world, and despite periodic predictions that it will soon close, it remains stubbornly real... [there is] a rapidly-congealing social prohibition against talking about these gaps in progressive spaces. If you refer to a racial achievement gap in a lot of liberal or left contexts now, you’ll find that people clam up fast and get visibly uncomfortable, even if you take pains to point out that an academic achievement gap does not imply an academic potential gap... When I was in grad school more than a half-decade ago, I observed with some considerable unhappiness that it had become increasingly socially unacceptable to speak of some students as simply better students than others, as being more talented, harder working, or more prepared. All of this was seen as inegalitarian and, eventually, as “white supremacist” even if every student being compared in a given context was white. There were many instructors back then who bragged about giving all students As, etc., and I must assume this practice has only grown over time. In the humanities and social sciences especially there is a growing movement to reject assessment, including grading - the means through which we sort better students from worse - as the hand of illegitimate power that “does violence” to the students who voluntarily attend college... Assessment is as old as education, but many in academia now don’t argue about how to do it (which is an essential conversation) but that it should not be done at all... in rejecting the entire sorting function of the university, academia will collapse. Wealthy parents aren’t paying Harvard to enrich their children in the humanistic sense. They’re paying Harvard to act as a marker of their child’s superiority in the labor market and the social hierarchy. Employers value college because it provides at least some meaningful information about who will succeed as a worker; remove that function and the financial justification for a hideously expensive system dies... (These tenured radicals, of course, never are so moved by the inherent inequities of academia that they quit the profession.)... hierarchies of relative academic performance are remarkably stable throughout life, due to differences in inherent or intrinsic academic ability of whatever origin... Trying to fight educational inequality by getting rid of the SAT is like trying to fight climate change by getting rid of thermometers."

A belief in meritocracy is not only false: it’s bad for you
Comment: "What a load of poorly argued drivel. Just because luck (genetic and environmental) has a lot to do with who has merit doesn't mean meritocracy is an illusion. Meritocracy doesn't mean those who try the hardest rule. Look at how much test scores and educational attainment in sought after disciplines determine financial success in the usual range of salaries. You can always argue that you can be as smart and hard-working as you want and are extraordinarily unlikely to become a billionaire. Who ever doubted that much luck is involved there. To use that to argue that merit has really nothing to do with success in general is beyond absurd."
Though actually many Americans deny the role of luck. Claiming one makes one's own luck is a common line. When you point out that those who work hard don't necessarily succeed they just claim you need to work both smart and hard

Meritocracy Is Worth Defending - WSJ - "Once upon a time there was a college in New York City that people referred to as the “Harvard of the proletariat.” Many of its graduates were poor or the children of working-class immigrants, yet they went on to become physicians and lawyers and distinguished scholars. Nine alumni were later awarded Nobel Prizes.  In 1970 the school watered down its admissions standards and began admitting anyone who had graduated from high school. “The result was a simultaneous boom in student numbers and a collapse in academic standards,” Adrian Wooldridge writes in his new book, “The Aristocracy of Talent.” Within a decade, “two out of three students admitted to the college required remedial teaching in the three ‘R’s. Dropout rates surged. Talented scholars left. Protests and occupations became commonplace.” In 1994 a task force concluded that the college was “in a spiral of decline.” Five years later, the open-admissions policy was declared a failure and finally reversed.  Mr. Wooldridge’s book is a broad defense of meritocracy—judging people based on their abilities—and its origins. He presents New York’s City College as a cautionary tale for the U.S., where the war on standards has intensified in recent years. Last month, Oregon ended its requirement that students show proficiency in reading and math to earn a high school diploma. Two of the nation’s most prestigious schools, Boston Latin Academy and Thomas Jefferson High School in Virginia, have scrapped their admissions tests to achieve more racial balance. New York’s mayor has engaged in a multiyear battle to end testing at the Big Apple’s elite schools... Meritocracies weren’t designed to degrade and exclude. Rather, the goals were to replace a system based heavily on patronage and nepotism, to treat people as individuals rather than as members of groups, and to distribute opportunities according to ability and talent. “For millennia, most societies have been organized according to the very opposite principles to meritocracy”... meritocracy has done a better job than its alternatives in moving societies forward. It has provided upward social mobility for the poor, for women and for racial and ethnic minorities. Whatever meritocracy’s shortcomings, the cure is clearly more meritocracy, not moving back in the direction of what it replaced.  Despite the attacks from elites, most people still prefer a system based on merit. A Pew poll from 2019 found that 73% of Americans, including 62% of blacks, opposed the use of racial preferences in college admissions. Gallup surveys show that among the 15% of the world’s adults who want to emigrate from where they live, the most popular destination countries are the U.S., Canada, Germany, France, Australia and the U.K.—generally the most meritocratic... Nations such as China, Japan, South Korea and Singapore have been pursuing meritocracy for decades—and have the growth to prove it—while American elites are nudging us away from meritocratic systems and toward race-conscious policies to achieve more-equitable outcomes"
An obsession with redistribution rather than growing the pie only works as long as there is pie to redistribute. So the liberal hatred of achievement is ironically one of the signs of "late capitalism"

Rising property prices a key driver in wealth inequality, ills of ‘hereditary meritocracy’ exist: Ravi Menon - "Wealth is far more unequally distributed than income in almost all societies as rising land prices drive up property values... As people’s income rises, they tend to apportion an increasing percentage of their disposable income to buy property in prime locations."
This conflates hereditary privilege with hereditary meritocracy

Wake Up, Singapore - Posts | Facebook - "Taken this morning at the AYE. How many more lives have to be lost before we learn that lorries should transport goods, not humans? We must legislate to change this. If construction companies need to pay more to switch to buses, ask them to cut their fat salaries and bonuses."
For some reason they're obsessed with foreign workers travelling in the back of lorries. Too bad NSmen don't benefit from their advocacy
Of course they are the same people who will be the first to bitch when rising costs from the policies they demand spill down

Gavin Williamson criticised for ‘galling’ comment on ‘dead-end’ university courses - "The National Union of Students (NUS) has criticised Gavin Williamson for “galling” comments after he spoke of “dead-end” university courses.  The education secretary has faced backlash over remarks on courses which “leave young people with nothing but debt”... A Department for Education spokesperson told The Independent earlier this month reforms “are designed to target taxpayers’ money towards the subjects which support the skills this country needs to build back better”."
Far better to have lots more graduates resentful that their university degrees have left them in penury, so they will readily lap up left wing rhetoric about how the world has done them in

Arrest after squirt gun fight turns into real gun battle at Fayette County park - "Authorities said they have arrested a 20-year-old Jonesboro man for murder in a squirt gun fight that turned to actual gunfire, killing one and injuring another.  Sean Allen turned himself in to the Fayette County Sheriff’s Office on Monday afternoon. Investigators said he is charged with felony murder and aggravated assault."

Pete 🇬🇧 on Twitter - "New Zealand to cut ‘low-skill’ immigration and refocus on wealthy" "Its interesting that the likes of Ardern & Trudeau are able to selectively limit/control immigration in this way without a whole swathe of activists & intelligentsia in their respective countries having a meltdown that this constitutes some kind of sign of a descent into fascism. Nixon goes to China. Just as Nixon, the ultimate anti-Communist hawk could achieve detente with China in a way that someone like, say, a Henry Wallace type theoretically wouldn’t be able to, liberal-ish-centrist types can be hawkish on immigration in a way that right-wingers cant Obama deported more people than any POTUS in history, inc Trump, but there was no freak-outs during his two terms in office about America descending into outright fascism like there was during Trump’s one term in office."

Am I normal? A systematic review and construction of nomograms for flaccid and erect penis length and circumference in up to 15 521 men - "Nomograms for flaccid pendulous [n = 10 704, mean (sd) 9.16 (1.57) cm] and stretched length [n = 14 160, mean (sd) 13.24 (1.89) cm], erect length [n = 692, mean (sd) 13.12 (1.66) cm], flaccid circumference [n = 9407, mean (sd) 9.31 (0.90) cm], and erect circumference [n = 381, mean (sd) 11.66 (1.10) cm] were constructed. Consistent and strongest significant correlation was between flaccid stretched or erect length and height, which ranged from r = 0.2 to 0.6."
So much for the liberal claim that it's a "myth" that bodily characteristics affect penis size - we are told that nothing correlates with penis size

As a Sex Worker, Don’t Ask Me to Rank Men’s Penis Sizes by Their Race - Sorry, but don’t ask me to rank men’s penis sizes based on their race. I won’t help fuel my readers’ racist ideas... Do you mean to tell me that every man whose ancestors originated on the massive continent known as Africa has a larger penis than every man whose ancestors originated in the tiny area of the world that is Europe? And every man whose ancestors come from the giant area that’s considered Asia has a smaller penis than men of European ancestry? That is a patently absurd notion... people of European ancestry— e.g., White people — have simply clumped all Asian people and all African people together, viewing them through a distinctly Eurocentric lens. By focusing on non-white men’s penises as larger or smaller than white men’s, the idea that white men’s penises are the “norm” is entrenched.  Besides, many white people in the U.S. don’t even understand how large and diverse both Africa and Asia are."
"Reality is uncomfortable so I will pretend it doesn't exist. Also I don't understand the concept of correlation when it comes to a subject I don't want to understand. But I almost certainly excoriate white people for having 'privilege' because it's a 'stereotype' that aligns with my political views. And though I slam 'white people' for lumping all Asians and all Africans together, I will happily lump all white people together in order to be racist against them"

Doctor explains how to tell penis size — without a ruler - "  A doctor has divulged an unconventional hack to gauge the size of a man’s penis without him dropping his trousers — simply by glancing at his hands. A virtual TikTok clip of the member-measuring shortcut has topped 915,000 views on the video platform.  “You can guess the size of a man’s cactus by how short his index finger is,” Dr. Karan Rajan — who goes by @dr.karanr on TikTok — said in the 27-second sexplainer. The good doctor cited a 2011 urological study in the Asian Journal of Andrology, which he said found that “a shorter index finger compared to ring finger correlates to a bigger ‘snozwaggler.’ “ “This is known as the second to fourth digit ratio, calculated by dividing the length of the index finger by the length of the ring finger,” Rajan continued. “The smaller the index finger, the lower the 2D 4D ratio.” Think of it as the urological version of using one’s forearm to calculate foot size."

Nose size indicates maximum penile length
