And also still trying to understand how this gets spread — is it really hyperpalatable foods
Yes. Countries which make a big deal about only eating their traditional foods have lower calorie consumption.

Propose it to jet fuel denialist Twitter. They’ll probably get right on it.

The ‘developmental based backing’ was something Scott went over and TLDR it was comparing preschool to low-end daycares, then(being a psychology study) it was published as showing kids do better in daycare than with their mothers.

The actual Nazis chickened out of such primitive methods of mass murder; famously they sent baron von Killingren to stop it in Romania and took over from the ustaśe in Croatia to prevent it.

I said Britain didn’t intend to exterminate the Irish, not that Britain bore no responsibility for the famine.

There’s a pretty direct line between the policies enacted by Maoist China and soviet Russia and the mass famines; it’s probably fair to give the British empire some portion of the blame for famines in Ireland and India but there’s also not a state ideology at the time of exterminating huge swathes of the victims(in the case of the holodomor).
And at least some African famines are downstream of socialist policies- most of Africa experimented with communism/socialism. Lots of the most famous bad actors were explicitly Maoist.

Yes, and in the broader media ‘I’m not saying… but every time’ is taken Very Seriously even when it’s clearly just gratuitously offensive 13 year old boy shock jocking.

Guatemalans are pretty heavily Mayan, to the point that describing them as ‘mixed’ is a bit of a stretch- most Latin American countries are indeed mostly mestizo, but Guatemala is mostly Indio- in the sense of still living in villages.

It’s interesting because I’m one of the few who grew up being taught fairly reactionary social values. We were not cave trolls. But it is immediately obvious when someone grew up with these attitudes vs being a convert.

I mean, viewing Jews as a class the same way SJW’s view whites as a class could just be performance art.

Could it be daycare/preschool? Nowadays even most SAHM’s send their kids to it for some reason or other, I’m not sure why.

Yeah, but guild-busting is an accelerating trend in Hollywood.

Elite human capital is pretty clearly code for Bush era democrats with moderately libertarian economics. They're very concerned about increasing religious right influence(lol, LMAO even), and think constantly sounding the bugle on it is a necessity. They support gays but not trans, may have some skepticism of- but mostly a vague idea about- US foreign policy. They're very pro-abortion, very concerned about conspiracy theories. Compared to current day progressives they don't seem to care much about drugs or criminal justice much, they might even be (moderately)conservative on the issue, it's hard to tell.

My jalapeno and cheese sausage turned out well; I'm probably going to try my hand at andouille if I can bag a hog this year. It's probably my last batch before deer season opens in the fall.

Screenwriting is a specific skill on which the screenwriter's guild has a monopoly. My guess is this'll get disrupted by AI eventually(remember that I am on record as thinking AI will have relatively minimal impacts to the economy), but that skill is mostly about formatting. Except these people refuse to acknowledge that they aren't creative professionals and have a monopolistic guild backing them up, so they can wreck filmography trying to 'express themselves'.
Revolt of the woke embarrassed elites, sure, but I don't think the proximal cause is shoving too much gayness in.

With significantly older generations it was common to go into the military for a couple of years either due to the draft or get your draft obligation out of the way. Then they'd try to be a real novelist. After failing at that they'd go into screenwriting. Those people are all long retired.
I've got an idea swirling around in my head about how the draft is necessary(not sufficient) for a free, western society, in a way that goes back to the beginning of time. I think mass culture is just one expression thereof.

It's probably related to attributes of people who do go to movies in the evening, pay full price, and don't sneak food in for cheap in their backpacks.
No it is not. While theaters would prefer that studios focus on getting these people to buy tickets(I have, personally, never seen a movie at full price unless it was date night), they are not affiliated with the studios. Studios don't care if theaters are solvent. They care about their licensing fees.

It was putting words in the mouths of a large, vaguely defined political movement which you associated those you disagree with on the forum with.
I wouldn't have banned you for it- although if I made all the mod decisions you probably would have been banned at the time you posted it for one of the personal attacks you got a slap on the wrist for- but it wasn't the post we'd like to see more of. I think you could have written a better version of that post; goodness knows we have enough discussion on native white men and the economy.
We have conservative posters who whine about the mods oppressing them, too. I generally say the same thing to them.

I assume that escorts and drugs are a fairly common entertainment at the sorts of parties Epstein was hosting, and telling the difference between a 17 year old who wants you to think she’s ~20 and an actual 20 year old is at the very least thé sort of thing that comes with a high error rate- and that’s before you take into account that presumably all of these guys had at the very least a beer or two.
I do not think bill gates was doing good at these parties. I think that there is no moral difference on his end between what he did and hiring an of-legal-age escort. This is not good, but it is not a productive use of police time to try to crack down on the Johns here.
Now Epstein recruited underaged girls into prostitution. This is seriously bad and the full weight of the law should get involved- but he’s dead.

Most of those people are already old.
The most plausible theory remains that the Clintons/Mossad/whoever else wanted to kill Epstein destroyed thé evidence and the FBI would be chasing shadows to roll up a blackmail network that no longer exists(so far as anyone knows, Epstein‘s MO was to lie about his girls’ ages to collect blackmail material, theres no reason to believe these people are like actual pedophiles).
I’m not doubting that if you really wanted to prosecute some people for statutory, you could- but the FBI probably thinks this is beneath launching a major investigation.

Germany and Texas are very different places electricity use wise; Texas’s electricity demand peaks during peak renewable production(air conditioning is mostly when the sun is shining). Germany is the opposite.

I mean, LoTT might not be the most reliable source, but it has enough documented instances to say this is at least a thing that is happening and relatively widespread.

I mean, the percentage of modern day Geocentrists is above the lizardman’s constant(upper teens percent in most western democracies IIRC- weirdly this is the one time thé US isn’t an outlier). It seems fair to round off anything under ~20-25% as a fringe in most contexts and that’s not a massive underestimate of SJ popularity, at least.

You don't have to have the same interests as your soulmate. You have to get along and cooperate on tasks and share values.
The happiest couples are ones who know when they bore each other to tears, not ones who never have to worry about it. Because the latter are imaginary.
Older siblings give lots of attention, though.
