I've been warning people about gum physiognomy for years. Back in high school and college my friends and I called it "Townhouse Teeth". Couldn't tell you why that's what we settled on, but it's a feature one ignores at their own peril.

Townhouse Teeth, perfect.

My wife has visible gums. My mother, this was decades ago, pointed it out while we were dating and said, "But what about her teeth?" She didn't even try to explain, I'm not sure she could have, but she was worried.

My wife turned out to be incredible, but she had braces... she didn't have natural "Townhouse Teeth." So I guess don't judge a book by its cover, or a monster by its teeth. Or monstrous teeth do not a monster make. No sorry, that's horrible advice. Ignore the feature at your peril.

Hey, it's like Sanpaku Eyes. Not everyone who has Sanpaku Eyes are some stripe of crazy - it's just prudent to recognize the patterns. To be fair, the cousin I'm real close with has the same kind of... condition? Not sure if that's the right word. She's got that kind of smile and she's perfectly fine. And her sister who doesn't is a hoarder and been to rehab for heroin twice.

The McKinsey issue you mention is also why you shouldn't platform Kaschuta without mentioning that she was a loyal McKinsey drone until she suddenly found herself astroturfed to prominence out of nowhere just as the regime conveniently needed someone to push conformist, longhoused lines like the above. If someone wants to give her the benefit of the doubt, fine, but at least make her glowing backstory clear.

She's pretty open about her past and I would hardly call her rise 'sudden,' as she's steadily plugged away at her podcast for years now. I hear you on the need to vet people, but I've been following her for a long time and she gets the Dudley Based Facelord Certification.

She also pretty much just interviews people and barely comments otherwise. She’s the mellow sort of interviewer that lets the guest talk a bunch and doesn’t shape the conversation much. Seems really crazy to criticize her for anything.

Lol, how many shit stirring liars rise with “revelations” about me. I’ve never worked for McKinsey.

Also, “astroturfed”, coming from a guy who used to reply to every brainfart I had years ago until I blocked you for being a dick. Lmao

You have no idea what McKinsey is or how it works. The right is overrun with hobbits.

The reading I've done has led me to believe that they show up and suggest the hottest data-driven management techniques (i.e. layoffs, org chart shuffling, outsourcing, and other cheap short-term cost-saving strategies) to make CEOs look good. So aside from their involvement in various controversies and corporate blunders I'm not convinced they're worth much.

But maybe that's my hairy feet talking.

The idea the Alex K is a deep state plant because she worked at McKinsey along with 100k other office drones is retarded. If she was ex-CIA otoh, maybe that’s worth pointing out.

Yes we're on the same page here.

Yeah that’s totally correct.

But the video was just spooky music and memes. McKinsey didn’t cause the opioid crisis, nor the rise of China. The consultants, they look for efficiency gains. Basic run of the mill capitalism. They are not some puppet master.

Fair. But overall I think it's good for regular folks to be redpilled on the reality that the big consulting firms suck up the most elite grads from Ivies and deploy them across every major company and government agency in the world, it's good for people to know how power works in this decentralized but aligned way. And McKinsey advising Purdue and the FDA at the same time? They may not be puppet masters, but strings are being pulled.

I don't get the insult. The hobbits saved Middle-Earth. The elves were a bunch of faggots who wandered the woods crying and singing and glowing. Hobbits FTW.

Way better parties, too.

That Captain Planet meme never gets old, and I know I only think it's funny because I'm old.
