You are aware that Lutherans, WASPs, and the different Catholic ethnicities Did Not Trust Each Other at the time?

You are, if anything, understating thé taboo on Catholic-Protestant intermarriage; before WWII different kinds of ethnic Catholics wouldn’t marry other ethnicities of Catholic. But it’s also more or less true that red tribe whites are functionally an ethnicity these days, and this is what ‘white’ as an ethnic group normally refers to(because it is the majority, and often a large majority, of the white population outside of New England).

A long time ago I had a boyfriend who was Black. He could barely count when he went to pay for things (this is not an exaggeration) and I'm not sure he could even type to text or if he used speech to text for everything he wrote.
Are you sure that this is due to low intelligence rather than being simply undereducated? Inner city schools can be appallingly bad.
Now I don’t claim that they would be producing Nobel laureates very often with better instruction. But one of my uncle’s stepfather worked as a math teacher in juvie when he was younger and claims to have successfully taught math(I think pre-Algebra) to, by definition, some of the dumbest teen boys in west Texas. Mississippi with its population of poor black kids manages to teach fairly decently- actually better than all-white midwestern states with very high adult IQ scores.

A lot of these templates aren’t genetic- Confucianism is really good at learning and implementing superior organizational realities. Islam is definitely not(and Muslims are not majority Arab- this is a missionary religion).

Yeah, I think this is FAFO dumbassery biting them in the rear. Being married to a US citizen, with the aid of a competent immigration lawyer(which military personnel have access to) is pretty much a shoe in for residency.

You will notice that these countries are non-democracies.
I suspect that this is the sort of technocratically correct policy which democracies cannot implement due to the words of a soft spoken MemriTv guest- democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. But the people, are retarded.

She is both crazy and unquestionably murdered her three kids. Whether she spends the rest of her life in jail or a mental hospital is kinda irrelevant; it’s not really a question of ‘deserves’.

No.
Companies began filtering for degrees because degrees filtered for more than just raw IQ, even if they were degrees in psychology or art history. IQ tests remain legal in hiring unless they can be shown to be used for the purpose of disparate impact(which on the case of Griggs was blatantly true). The private sector uses the Wunderlic test all the time. Most decent noncollege jobs, and not a few college jobs, require aptitude tests that are heavily G-loaded. Degrees (used to)show the ability to work in a white collar environment productively and without rocking the boat, and that is why they became required for white collar employment.
Companies that really want to discriminate have a very limited number of loopholes, but it’s technically doable- there’s a handful of companies which require new hires to join a particular private club, for instance(the largest of these is the knights of Columbus insurance corp, which is Fortune 500- obviously this means they hire only male practicing Catholics with conservativish political views- but these jobs are posted publicly to job boards in view of the public). And hooters declares all of its front of house staff actresses to get away with the crazy high levels of discrimination.

You can in fact set up some workarounds to that.

I mean thé issue with ‘different social media sites for different folks’ is that unlike newspapers, social media sites become better with widespread adoption- they’re more like a telecom company than a newspaper. The dynamics will always point to a smaller number of social media sites rather than a larger one, and those social media sites will be good at different things.

Or if you vest thé ruleset in partial institutions, of course.

Are we playing six degrees from Jeff Epstein? Really? Like if you manage to become a party pad for some subset of wealthy influential people you're now connected, at least at some unusually-low degree of removal, to all of them, because wealthy influential people like to associate with each other.
Coincidence? Very plausible.

Candace Owens is insane, but her fans are genuinely eager to hear the most braindead and ridiculous conspiracy theories imaginable and her husband has the money to subsidize her(and is apparently willing to). By all accounts- and I have lots of secondhand accounts- she's actually nuts and really believes the crazy things she says on the air.

There's photos of them doing drugs together in various stages of undress released as part of his laptop, IIRC.

Not really- it's an 80-20 issue.

There is no 'Texas style ambiguity'. Texas bans abortions that aren't medically necessary. The high profile cases had no doubt about their case, they just didn't like the rules and wanted to showboat.

There's plenty of European countries with very early bans, and which have a combination of waiting periods, broad conscience protections for doctors, etc that make abortion very difficult to get for ordinary people.

In practice those kinds of super-late term abortions are... not very common. But it is literally not an exaggeration of what the law says; some states have even enshrined a right to abortion immediately after birth. I suspect these laws were written by radical activists and that lawmakers enacting them do not actually read them, but as the law goes it is legal for doctors to kill very young babies in a few states.

Since when has 'this kind of bullying kills people' messaging every worked? It's not working on trans issues.

Hunter Biden is funny and personable and well spoken. Arday was none of the three. Hunter did crack in the white house while hooking up with Obama's daughter. Arday copy-pasted papers no one read into papers no one would read, and then claimed credit for it. One of those is a better tabloid story than the other.

Wasn't nearly everything Arday said lies and we have no idea if he had a high verbal IQ or not?
There is a place for the high verbal IQ- they are less good at making machines, but they do understand the world. We don't really know if Arday is among their number or not.

Especially since judges in Texas are elected, and most of these suits are filed in areas where few are likely to vote for someone who will do whatever Ken Paxton says.
You’d be surprised- Texas does not have high voter turnout and the advantages of partisan Republican judges are pretty clear even to many moderate democrats.

Americans do not think of Australians and New Zealanders as similar(New Zealand is stereotyped as some kind of quaint progressive ruritania, while we tend to see Australia as much more like a normal country).
I’m guessing seppo is a New Zealander?
Eh, France did, and most Latin American countries were white ruled at the time they ended slavery. The Arabs kept slavery for a very long time but Europeans didn't bother.
