As /K/ will soon be saying- run out into your backyard screaming. When the neighbors are screaming back, grab your shotgun and start shooting at electrical infrastructure feeding into datacenters.

Idaho? (forgive the Brit please)
Idaho is actually very expensive, like many western rural states.
'Move to Ohio' is a reasonable answer to those who can't afford New York, though- the purchasing power will actually be higher, even given lower average salaries.

OTOH, when manuscript traditions and horses went obsolete, we didn't make this stuff major competitions. Calligraphy is now an art form that most people never encounter and horses are a luxury despite the government giving them away for free.

Can't mathematicians who don't make it in academia just become actuarials or high school teachers, depending how they weight work-life balance vs compensation? I literally don't understand why they think it's completely hopeless. You didn't get what you wanted, in a longshot career path. No need to rope. Just take the backup plan.

I should point out that a challenge to mutual combat is in fact legal. They could have a boxing match or something. Of course nerds don't know that, but they could.

AI X risk is just this round of global warming catastrophism(we're going to be underwater by 2000 2012 2020[oh wait, that was a different ridiculous hysteria we'd all be better off ignoring]) because seriously, datacenters are fragile and require constant inputs from outside that we can just cut off. Like against Skynet we can take some collateral damage if we've got to. It's not worth worrying about, it's just another made up problem to justify giving ridiculous people more power. In this case, a literal sex cult.

She was in a sorority. Definitionally, her job is to be a member of the elites.

Thé disinvite was at the request of her sorority, which was worried about their reputation. Sorority sisters are not supposed to do groupsex. It was probably also an attempt to cover the frat’s rear end.

And it’s small enough that you can just… go through it, and not need a guide to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Patriarchy is not rule by men collectively. It’s rule by, specifically, fathers- and under most patriarchies age is the dominant factor, not gender, distinguishing the rulers from the ruled.
It’s true that under a patriarchy this never would have happened… because there wouldn’t be a house of young men.

I think you’re way overestimating the penetration of feminist norms around slut shaming.

Nobody is claiming that drunken frat bros were good guys here.
What seems to have happened is there was a social role of ‘young lady’ that was violated, the sorority decided she wasn’t going to parties anymore, and she went nuclear. This is woman drama with a few unsympathetic young men caught in the crossfire.

But she’s not supposed to be a slut, thats what started this- was the Greek life honchos shutting it down because she was doing bad, so she started making rape accusations. This is a social role/status violation.

No, no- it’s not some sort of reaction to the dominance of hip hop. It’s simply that an increasing percentage of teenagers and early young adults are red tribe due to fertility rates.
The African American population was likewise young relative to the population as a whole when black culture became cool. But that’s increasingly not the case; the youth bulge is with the SEC Americans- who have several advantages, because they’re already elites and already know how to have fun. You may not like Greek life and two stepping and Aggie football, but these things are equivalencies of cultural universals that young people want in every society.

This sounds more like Fort Worth than any number of important landmarks.
Do go to the Kimbell though. They do provide free parking in the obvious spot(and a phenomenal collection of the Dutch masters).

So basically, the culture that takes a more complimentary posture towards men- in contrast to the one that's built upon maximal exploitation "minimizing men's evil desires"- has a healthier and more constructive picture of how sexuality works.
The red tribe just thinks that sixteen year olds should be able to take on adult responsibilities. It's not about a complimentary view of men. It's about a different idea of adulting as a thing that you do, because you have to, and not some weird... I-don't-know-what-it-is. And in that view of course late teenagers can be adults in a variety of ways, even if they shouldn't. It's not this huge status difference determined by some other boundary. The really hardcore red tribe is OK with adults and teenagers being unironic platonic actual friends, too. It's not a gender difference so much as a 'be adult' definition that's more about how you behave than how others treat you.

There was a high status woman. By prevailing morality she can't be used as a 'good time girl', not openly.
In times past she'd get the blame and have to marry someone a bit lower than her. But today, that's taboo, so we have to pretend the boys are rapey. But the gods of copybook heading are returning; treating a girl from a wealthy family that way was always banned. The difference is, in times past, she would be sent to 'help her aunt' in another state. That's how my great grandparents met. Today that part's not happening. I mean it will, slowly but surely- she's already banned from the frat parties(which exist primarily to make sure upper class women marry upper class men). But it's not yet, we have seduction charges but not the other side. History repeats, it rhymes, it does all those things at once- and cultural universals will always resurface. Yeah, she's being punished. So are they. The gods of copybook heading go nuclear on everyone.

'Satisfaction' and 'pleasure' are besides the point. It's about 'dignity' and 'status', not those other things.
The outrage is about upholding a social hierarchy, and part of that is that upper class women are supposed to be treated a certain way. Of course it can't be put in those terms, hence all the rape-that-isn't.

There were lots of Covid vaccines available. The counterfactual where the US didn't develop a covid vaccine looks like one where Sputnik and Astrazeneca take most of the three US vaccine's early market share.

They imposed strict discipline and consistent standards. Mississippi is one of the few places where corporal punishment is still normal in schools.
I suspect that the drone will fly itself by AI long before there is a robot that puts bombs on it, rather than someone doing his four years to pay for college.
