SubmarineClub··on The Impact of Generative AI on Critical Thinking: Self-Reported (2025)
lol get real.

Try talking to normies sometime to learn how little they give a shit.

SubmarineClub··on I didn't know I was lacking in Vitamin D until I collapsed at work
Did you think it was just a coincidence that the further north you go the paler people are?
SubmarineClub··on The plight of the public potty
Sounds good to me! Fuck drug users, why should they get to trash public spaces for the rest of us.
SubmarineClub··on Steam Client is now faster than Epic's new vibe coded launcher
AI sycophants are tiring.

What the actual fuck are you even talking about
SubmarineClub··on Japan moves to tighten rules for foreigners
> phrase “commit crime” frames the foreigner as morally bad.

Why are progressives so desperate to carry water for criminals?? Criminals suck! They make life worse for everyone else in society.

You might notice that Tokyo is much nicer than literally any city we have in the US.

SubmarineClub··on Has Violence Against Teachers Become Accepted by Society?
Classic bleeding-heart prog backwards thinking.

The students are treated like prisoners because they were ALREADY acting that way.

Use your brain. Schools install metal detectors and hire guards because the kids were getting into fights and bringing guns/knives to school. Acting like adding a metal detector is what causes kids to bring guns to school is insanity.

SubmarineClub··on Has Violence Against Teachers Become Accepted by Society?
When it’s bleeding hard progressivism that causes these issues, it’s pretty obvious!

It wasn’t republicans that trashed California public schools in the name of ‘racial equity.’

SubmarineClub··on The Mars Delusion
It was “physically impossible with current technology for humans to survive a trip” to the Moon when the space race kicked off, too. The whole POINT of the space race was inventing the technology to solve those problems.

Space exploration nay-sayers really are the lamest people imaginable.

SubmarineClub··on Reflections on 1,000 Days of Math
Do you actually have any concrete issues with Math Academy, or do just want to bitch?

So tired of posts vaguely criticizing instead of naming any tangible problems.

SubmarineClub··on Plunging test scores are a slow-moving catastrophe
> Maybe it seemed too good to be true and we should have been more critical of the findings.

I mean, I always was. My rule has always been - if something seems too good to be true, it is.

This is my biggest issue with ‘progressive’ types. They always seem to get drawn in by hype and flash, and neglect to consider 2nd order effects. I’ve had an endless number of conversations with friends of this persuasion where I point out very very obvious problems with some hot new idea they are so enamored with, which they inevitably poo-poo as me being a mean old cynical conservative. And a few years later we end up with articles like above.

SubmarineClub··on California is chasing wealth that has feet
Because anyone with a brain knows that a wealth tax wont just target the super wealthy for very long.

Same shit happened when income taxes were first introduced.

The ONLY thing that works is making sure a tax never hits the books in the first place.

SubmarineClub··on Back and shoulder surgery is often worse than useless
Wow, amazing how wrong such a short comment can be!
SubmarineClub··on 'That's so AI ' What gen Alpha's biggest insult tells us
> Refuse to engage with modernity?

God I hope so! Modernity sucks.

SubmarineClub··on Where's the Beef?: The lab-grown-meat revolution that wasn't
>tastier

Lmao god damn veggies are delusional.

SubmarineClub··on Where's the Beef?: The lab-grown-meat revolution that wasn't
Genuinely, how the fuck can you believe that when people have personally slaughtered the meat they consume for most of human history?

My wife grew up in a country where people would still personally slaughter pigs to roast at major holidays. Didn’t keep her or any of her family from eating meat.

SubmarineClub··on The darker side of being a doctor
It’s hilarious to me that, according to Marxists, we’ve now been in ‘late-stage capitalism’ for longer than Communism even managed to exist, but they still keep hawking a 200 year old book as the answer to everything.
SubmarineClub··on Economics Nobel Laureates' Letter Supporting the California Billionaire Tax [pdf]
Yup, time and time again Democrats have shown that there is no such thing as ‘enough.’ As soon as more money comes in they find new things to spend it on.

Hence, I oppose ALL tax increases.

The income tax when originally introduced only hit the ‘ultra wealthy’ too, and now look where we are. Why on earth would I ever believe that a wealth tax, once instituted, wouldn’t end up impacting me in a decade or so?

SubmarineClub··on Flock Offers Employees Buyouts as Customers Flee
Maybe Sweden is different from every other country I’ve visited in Europe…but having traveled quite extensively in the EU, most countries I’ve been to don’t feel much different than the US.

Very immigration officer I’ve ever interacted with has been chilly, it’s not some uniquely American thing.

Pretty much every rail station I went through in Europe had extremely (to my eyes) heavily armed guards standing around. I was also asked to present my passport on several occasions. At one Italian station, it happed twice within a few minutes. I’ve been on multiple trains where some flavor of police comes on, checks people’s papers, and then grab some guy and escort him off at the next stop.

SubmarineClub··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
Kind of hard to take my stuff when I was attending college and then working clear on the other side of the country.

Other than renting a U-Haul and driving 2,800 miles, there weren’t many options. Which I even suggested, to which my parents insisted they were happy to hang on to the stuff until it was easier to do the handover.

>never created any expectation that their childhood home would serve…facility, extended stay facility or even exist.

Sounds like a pretty sad mindset to me. Between me and your kids, I wonder which are happier to visit their parents?

SubmarineClub··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
On the other hand, I’m very glad my parents hung on to my stuff until I could take it back. I see no reason to throw it out.
SubmarineClub··on The American Religion of Self-Storage Facilities
If my parents had done that I would have been pissed.

They just recently cleared out the attic and unloaded my childhood stuff on me, and I gladly took it all back.

SubmarineClub··on US confirms for first time it has deployed space weapons
Very convenient of you to not include what China is doing in Nepal, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and on the Indian border.

And if China hadn’t stuck its dick into the Korean War, the whole peninsula would probably be as prosperous as the south.

SubmarineClub··on Nike's End of Men
‘Go woke, go broke’ stays timeless.
SubmarineClub··on Kenyans Did College Students' Homework for Years. Then A.I. Arrived
That’s funny, I was 17 & 18 once too and managed to never cheat in any of my classes…
SubmarineClub··on US Reading Scores Plummet on Global Exam
Why is China constantly allowed special treatment like this?

I bet if the US only submitted scores from select wealthy Massachusetts and NoVA counties you’d see some crazy numbers.

SubmarineClub··on When Mothers Get Arrested for Mothering
CPS is such a disease. Bunch of power-tripping freaks.
SubmarineClub··on 'You Can See Everything' Review: Nathan Fielder's Doc About Elizabeth Holmes
Yes, 100%

Certain people were so desperate for the female Steve Jobs, that when a woman came along literally cosplaying Jobs, they jumped without asking any questions.

SubmarineClub··on The Decade of Decline in Seattle Public Schools
As expected. But you’ll never see any progressives admitting that their policies are worthless.

WOKE. IS. A. JOKE.

It’d be nice if all those pushing this asshattery would finally admit it.

SubmarineClub··on Renowned NYC Washington Square Park Chess Hustler 'Chichi' Detained by ICE
Why should the US be obligated to let criminals naturalize?
