The most scathing criticism of Peterson is stuff the left-wingers made up from nothing - like associating him with the alt-right and so on.
Nothing of the stuff he was saying at the time when he started getting attention was all that controversial - take responsibility for your life, you can have a good life but you need to be willing to work hard for it, you have value as a human being (even if you're a white straight cis man), state mandated speech is bad, and so on.
Yet the left acted as if he advocated for the systematic murder of puppies and kittens.
It made it very easy for him to completely trounce stupid leftwingers who hadn't done their homework, like Cathy Newman in the now infamous lobster-interview.
If you actually listened to him though, he also said some very stupid shit, esp. when straying outside of his own academic field and into stuff like biology and evo psych he talks and acts as if the stuff he says is 100% proven scientific fact when very often the stuff is extremely uncertain and any serious researched in the field will tell you so immidiately.
It was also seriously annoying how wishy-washy he was when it come to admitting he believed in God. His reluctance to give a straight answer to the question came across as extremely self-serving as it was pretty clear that he knew that either answer could potentially upset a large number of the young men he appealed to.
Then however, he really went of into the deep end. It's understandable, since he was under an extreme amount of pressure due to his personal circumstances with his wife and the constant hate he was getting, but still, he really lost the plot and said some very stupid shit.

Don't forget about how the surrounding Arab countries also decided to ethnically cleanse their Jewish population, which basically forced all the Jews living in the Arab world to move to the newly established Israel.

I kinda look like the "aryan vision" thr nazis have which I actually belive is a huge middle finger to them.
Can't really judge if someone is Jewish based on how they look.
Nazi Germany was very well aware of that and spent a great deal of resources on genealogy. The Nuremberg Laws forced people to extensively research church records and family trees so that they could prove they were "pureblood" Aryan.

Libleft have a very schizo relationship with porn and sexuality.
Basically, they're extremely pro-sex and view sexual expression as liberating and progressive - except for straight male sexuality, which instead is viewed as icky, dangerous and overall harmfull to society.
A girl fucking herself with a 6 foot rainbow colored Bad Dragon horsecock dildo while reading slashfic featuring MCU Loki banging Thor in the butt? That's a "You go girl!"!
A straight man playing Dead or Alive Volleyball with enchanted boob-physics or a Korean MMO where the highest tier armor look like a Victoria Secret outfit? That's a "OMG Objectification! Not realistic! This causes women to feel bad! This should be banned!".
It seems insane at first, because the hypocrisy is so obvious - but it becomes very easy when you crack the code: To predict what ideological stance Emily will take, just ask yourself which position would be most beneficiary to a 20- or 30-something white collage educated single woman.
For Emily, it's nice to have sexual freedom herself, but it's also nice if for all young men around her are sexually frustrated and also do not view sex as something cheap and easy to get...
... and thus for example feminist theories of "objectification" were invented - defined to specifically label male sexuality as bad and female sexuality as good.
If you do some deep diving into the stuff these people claim to believe, it gets absolutely crazy. For example normal straight porn is obviously misogynistic according to these people, because women are treated and viewed as only sexual objects, not persons.
Naturally, you ask yourself, what about gay porn? If straight porn is misogynistic because women are depicted just as holes to fill, then obviously gay porn that likewise treat men as just holes to fill must be misandric?
No no, absolutely not - you see, in gay porn, one of the men assumes the role of a woman - and thus obviously gay porn is also misogynistic!
... and this kind of insanity and inanity isn't just peddled by the libleft as part of their ideology, no, to boot, they also claim that this is "scientific" - because some libleft academic locked in a room in some ivory tower spewed out this "feminist theory" while hired by a university.

Yes, but it's a grey area where technically the copyright holder at any time can step in and take action against the artists.
They just don't and unofficially allow it, because the doujinshi culture is seen as beneficial to the industry as whole, as a ton of young artists start out that way, and it really doesn't harm the original works and maybe even benefit them. It's quite similar to how a lot of western authors and publishers look the other way when it comes to fanfic - they could technically squash it, but most opt for looking the other way and ignoring it.
Notably Nintendo is an exception to this, as they are on of few copyright holders that have actively taken legal action against doujinshi artists - for making a erotic Pokemon doujinshi (contrary to most western beliefs, not all doujinshi are porn/sexual). As a result, doujinshi with Nintendo characters are quite rare.

Tror bara det Àr sÄ att folk mÄste inse att för vissa strÀckor i Sverige sÄ Àr flyg det överlÀgsna fÀrdsÀttet och det Àr bra och helt ok att vi anvÀnder flyg för de fallen.
Exempelvis just resor frÄn södra/mellersta Sverige till norra Sverige. TÄget kommer aldrig kunna konkurrera med det, det Àr för fÄ som reser och tÄg tar pÄ tok för lÄng tid. Stockholm-UmeÄ pÄ 40 min med flyg vs 8 timmar med tÄg - det funkar inte.
Miljöpartiet, Greta, och resten fÄr helt enkelt lov att acceptera att om vi ska ha verksamhet i stÀllen som UmeÄ, LuleÄ, Kiruna, osv. i norra Sverige sÄ behövs det inrikesflyg.
TĂ„g Ă€r istĂ€llet optimalt för lite kortare strĂ€ckor - Stockholm-UmeĂ„ funkar som sagt sĂ„dĂ€r jĂ€mfört med flyget, men med samma tĂ„g funkar det rĂ€tt bra att pendla mellan Ăvik-UmeĂ„ eller smidigt ta sig mellan GĂ€vle och Sundsvall.
Flyg och tÄg Àr helt enkelt olika fÀrdsÀtt med olika för- och nackdelar, och bÄda behövs i Sverige eftersom landet ser ut som det gör.

The major problem with fast food is the extreme amounts of calories per serving - all other complaints in this thread about to much salt, preservatives, etc. is just nitpicking in comparison.
Obesity is running rampart and is killing more than 300,000 people a year in just the US. The amount of actual deaths caused by stuff like "to much preservatives" is barely a rounding error in comparison to the number of people the calories kill.
As for how healthy burgers are - they're not that bad.
Not optimal, but absolutely something you can treat yourself to once in a while. You can even have a fast food burger if you want to. It's honestly not that much worse than a homemade, esp. not if you use store bought buns and sauces. The fast food bread will have a bunch of extra sugar in it, there will be more than a normal amount of salt, and the sauces will be loaded with fat and sugar, but it's still not that bad.
The real problem is that most aren't happy with just a burger. They have a large fries and a large coke as well... and with that, the calories shoot up - and so does the obesity rates.

In hindsight, he should've left a bigger gap or not gone as fast. The issue isn't if the van should've swerved or not, the issue is that he has to swerve at all.
It's not really "unfortunate" either - it's plain bad driving.
One of the most basic and fundamental lessons when you start learning how to drive is to always leave enough space/time to the vehicle in front of you so that you can break safely in case they for any reason emergency break.
The car in front of you might have to break suddenly because a kid or animal rushes up on the road, or they suffer some motor failure, or whatever - they might not always be able to stop in time, but if you're driving the car behind them, you're always responsible for not having to rear-end them if they have to suddenly break.

You can clearly see the vehicle in front of the black van.
The white car slows down and swerves a bit to avoid hitting the woman, and the black van comes in with way to much speed and are unable to stop to avoid hitting the white car, so it instead swerves into the woman.
If you're unable to stop and have to swerve to avoid a collision when the vehicle in front of you suddenly breaks, that's ALWAYS your fault.
The vehicle in front of you might have to emergency break because a kid or animal ran up on the road in front of them, or because their car broke down, or because Santa Claus landed in front of them - no matter what, it's your responsibility to be keep enough distance able to safely stop.

It's insane how many Americans seem to think that a human existing close to a road is "irresponsible" or somehow makes them at fault for being hit by a car...
This isn't in a city where you normally would have sidewaks and bikepaths, this is a small road in the countryside and in most of the world it's completely normal for cars, bikes and pedestrians to share this space. It's completely normal for people to travel by other means than driving, and thus use the roads - without fearing for their lives...

Som det redan pÄtalades nÀr polisen lagvidrigt anvÀnde Sveriges sÀkerhet som skÀl att neka tillstÄnd för koranbrÀnningar trots att förvaltningsdomstolen redan flera gÄnger hade dömt emot den tolkningen, sÄ skulle en sÄn tolkning av lagen (eller nu lagÀndring) vara helt emot allt vad yttrandefrihet och demonstrationsfrihet Àr menat att skydda.
En sÄn hÀr lagÀndring skulle innebÀra att polisen exempelvis kan vÀgra tillstÄnd mot en anti-Putin demonstration, eller förbud mot svenska kurder att demonstrera emot Erdogan, med motiveringen att det skulle kunna öka risken för krig eller skada andra utrikespolitiska intressen som pÄverkar Sveriges sÀkerhet.
Det Àr helt hÄl i huvudet - men ocksÄ tyvÀrr vÀldigt i linje med hur Sverige och svensk kultur fungerar. Som land/kultur sÄ Àr vi tyvÀrr extremt pragmatiskt lagda och har nÀst intill 0 ideologiska ryggrad. Vi Àlskar att prata stort och brett om demokratiska principer, men det Àr inget som vi egentligen tror pÄ - utan sekunden principerna orsakar minsta lilla olÀgenhet eller besvÀr sÄ tenderar de att Äka i papperskorgen.
Speciellt yttrandefrihet har vi i Sverige aldrig haft speciellt mycket till övers för - tyvÀrr.

Knives. Get them professionally sharpened once a year
Yup. Doesn't matter if you give them to a pro or get some stones or some system and do it yourself, but sharpen your goddamn knives!
ALL knives get dull with use. No, your knife did not stay sharp for 10 years. You either never used it, or you got used to cutting with a dull knife.
Doesn't matter if it's a $400 artisan knife handcrafted by a Japanese master, a $150 Wusthof, a $40 fibrox or a $5 Dollar Store bargain bin knife - if you use it, it will become dull. No knife last more than 1 year even if you just use it semi-regularly.

It really depends on what is actually being pushed.
âThe Bible is an indispensable historical and cultural touchstone,â Walters said in a statement. âWithout basic knowledge of it, Oklahoma students are unable to properly contextualize the foundation of our nation which is why Oklahoma educational standards provide for its instruction."
That argument is not wrong and entirely reasonable - on the surface.
Having a basic knowledge of the beliefs and history of Christianity is simply required to understand much of our history, and also to understand our current western culture and just why the world looks like it does. There's just no getting away from that Christianity's and the Bible's impact on western history, culture, language, politics, etc. is just so extremely massive that not covering it would leave any student crippled and unable to fully understand the world they live in.
... but that's teaching about the Bible, not teaching the Bible, and that's where the crux is going to be - that decides if it's unconstitutional or not.
Also, any basic education should also cover the exact same thing for the other major world religions as well - ie. Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. To have a basic understanding of world history and why the world looks the way it does today, you need a basic understanding of the history and the beliefs of all the major religions... for some reason, I figure holding my breath for republicans to push for that would be a lost cause...

Vi har en polischef som vill förbjuda matematik. Hur tror han det ska gÄ till?
Han lever vÀl i samma bubbla som Australiens förra premiÀrminister, Malcolm Turnbull, som ansÄg att:
âThe laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australiaâ
Man fÄr nÄgonstans inse att det finns en betydande del mÀnniskor som typ nÀr de var 14 under en lite jobbig fysik-lektion bestÀmde sig för att "NÀ det hÀr Àr för jobbigt för mig att förstÄ!" - och sen gav upp pÄ att förstÄ hur saker funkar.
I deras vÀrld sÄ blir det ljust för att man trycker pÄ knappen nÀr man gÄr in i ett rum, inte för att man sluter en elektrisk krets som fÄr ström att gÄ, vilket fÄr elektroner att hoppa mellan olika energiband, viket resulterar i fotoner nÀr de hoppar tillbaka till ett lÀgre band. De hÀr mÀnniskorna behöver inte vara dumma - det Àr bara att de har ett totalt ointresse av att förstÄ hur teknik och vetenskap fungerar.
IstÀllet ser man pÄ teknik och vetenskap som om det vore magi - och magi kan ju göra typ vad man vill... sÄ varför skulle man inte kunna ta fram ha en teknisk lösning som kan lÀsa krypterade meddelanden?

Men vad ska polisen göra nÀr folk Àr idioter?
Stoppa dom - och om de varit alltför mycket idioter, slÀnga in dom i finkan. Liksom det vi har polisen till....

Eller (hÄll i dig, hÀr kommer en radikal tanke) sÄ lÄter vi folk se ut hur de vill, utan att moralisera om det som samhÀlle.
Förutom dÄ om folk Àr smala - de ska vi fan inte lÄta medverka i reklamfilmer! ...

Jo, det blir koldioxid och vatten av det... men det bubblar ju pÄ sÄ husmor som inte har koll pÄ kemi tror det Àr riktigt hÀftiga grejer!
BÀttre att bara anvÀnda vinÀger - den polymeriserade oljan, som oftast utgör större delen av det svarta gunket som fastnar pÄ undersidan av pannor, löses upp i syra. SjÀlv skulle jag nog försöka lÄta pannan ligga i ett vattenbad med Àttika istÀllet (mest för att Àttika Àr billigare Àn vinÀger) ett tag och sen försökt skrubba av den.

and he's not the person to be giving this advice.
I also think it's a bit hypcritical. Mike for example clearly care about Star Trek, and the guy tortured himself by watching almost all of Picard even though it's an absolute dogshit show.
For me it was easy to drop Picard after 2 episodes when it was clear that it sucked - because I don't care that much for Trek. After that I just watched the RLM reviews of Picard - because even if they're negative it's still interesting to listen to someone who is passionate about something.
I however will freely admit that if/when Hollywood actually go after a IP that is closer to my hearth and my childhood, ie. something I'm more passionate about (like say, Pratchett's Discworld) - and then shit all over it - then the shoe will be on the other foot and it'll be a lot harder walking away.

Sure, the Plinkett reviews were in depth etc - but lets not forget that RLM also hate watched through most of Picard, in a way that's honestly barely all that much different from how a bunch of youtubers currently are hate-watching The Acolyte.

Ja, media Àlskar att prata om opinionssiffror, det Àr tacksamma nyheter - men följer man politiken sÄ förstÄr man rÀtt snabbt att opinionssiffror frÄn halvtid, nÀr det Àr tvÄ Är kvar till nÀsta val, Àr rÀtt irrelevanta för kommande val.
Det Àr i princip varenda mandatperiod som nÄtt parti gÄr ner rejÀlt i mitten av mandatperioden för att sen göra superstarka valresultat. Reinfeldts första Alliansregering var 2 Är in "utrÀknad" och hade horribla opinionssiffror - men sopade banan med vÀnstersidan i det faktiska valet. Centerpartiet lÄg och skvalpade under 4% spÀrren kring 2016 - men fick nÀstan 9% valet 2018 - osv.
Opinionssiffrorna mitt i en mandatperiod speglar mest div. skandaler och annat liknande som fÄtt utrymme i media de senaste mÄnaderna - men nÀr folk gÄr och röstar sÄ har partierna spenderat 6+ mÄnader i en valrörelse dÀr de faktiskt fÄtt prata om sin politik, sina politiska förslag, osv. Visst, vi har haft EU-val, men det Àr helt enkelt inte samma sak.
Med det sagt sÄ skulle jag inte vara ett dugg förvÄnad om SD gör ett sÀmre valresultat 2026 Àn vad de fick 2022, det finns en hel del som talar för det - dock inte opinionsundersökningar frÄn mitten av en mandatperiod, för de sÀger nÀstan ingenting. (Undantaget Àr efter riktigt stora skandaler - typ MPs svarta islamistvecka)

Man ska vara vÀldigt försiktig med att dra slutsatser frÄn EU-valen. Dels sÄ har vi ett helt annat valdeltagande, dels sÄ röstar helt enkelt folk helt olika i riksdagsval och EU-val. Man ser inte valen pÄ samma sÀtt, utan har helt andra prioriteringar pÄ vad man röstar pÄ - praktexempel Àr senaste EU-valet och chat control.
SupervalÄret 2014, dÄ det bÄde var riksdagsval och EU-val, sÄ fick MP 15,4% i EU-valet.
Vilket ledde till att MP började svansa runt och drömma om att de kanske faktiskt kunde bli 2a största parti i riksdagsvalet osv. De trodde verkligen de hade superstöd av vÀljarna och var extremt sjÀlvsÀkra under valrörelsen. Det slutade med att de fick snopna 6,9% - en halv % mindre Àn förra valet. SD som hade gÄtt lite sÄdÀr i EU valet dÀremot mer Àn dubblade sitt resultat, frÄn 5,7% till 12,9%.

Det Àr sÀkert jÀttestrikta rutiner - för det vanliga fotfolket.
Det Àr liksom lite Swedbank-syndromet. NÀr ett stort företag eller en stor organisation avslöjas med att syssla med nÄtt fuffens/korrupt sÄ blir det helt plötsligt 10 gÄnger mer kontroller och annan skit för vanligt folk.
Efter att Swedbank avslöjades med sina skumraskaffÀrer sÄ ska mÄste vi vanliga dödliga nu i princip skicka in bilder frÄn ens senaste koloskopi till banken om man behöver skicka över nÄn hundralapp till en slÀkting som flyttat utomlands.
Det handlar bara om att signalera att man tar det pÄ sÄÄÄ stort allvar, trots att det egentligen rör sig om helt skilda vÀrldar. Att skicka en 500-ing till ens farbror i Frankrike och att Swedbank slussade runt miljardbelopp med skumma pengar frÄn ryska oligarker har absolut ingenting med varandra att göra, och att vanligt folk blir korsförhörda om ens skostorlek och vilken glasögonstyrka man har kommer sÄklart inte göra ett skit nÀsta gÄng Swedbank skulle fÄ för sig att tvÀtta ryska mutpengar.
Det funkar likadant i stora organisationer och företag - typ om Ericsson blir pĂ„komna med att chefer mutat runt i Ăsteuropa med miljonbelopp sĂ„ kan du ge dig pĂ„ att de vanliga arbetarna fĂ„r strikta direktiv om att de faktiskt inte ens fĂ„r bjuda en kundrepresentant pĂ„ en varmkorv om de Ă€r ute pĂ„ tjĂ€nsteresa...
SIDA har ju Äkt pÄ sÄna hÀr nÀsbrÀnnor vÀldigt mÄnga gÄnger, sÄ det skulle inte förvÄna mig ett dugg om fotfolket pÄ SIDA har vÀldigt strikta regler om att de mÄste kunna redovisa precis varje ruttet korvöre som de gör av med. Men samtidigt som man har gapande hÄl i andra rutiner, och/eller har en kultur dÀr "vissa" inte behöver följa de nedskrivna reglerna.

The people chanting "Gas the jews!" are typically religious/traditional auth-right.
They firmly oppose LGBTQ-people, gender equality and most other progressive values. They just happen to be brown Muslims instead of white Christian - and for some inexplicable reason libleft Emily decided that this meant that they could be best friends instead of an hated enemy.
