I'm finding all kinds of conflicting stats and surveys, but it looks like at least a majority of gay couples are not monogamous: https://slate.com/human-interest/2013/06/most-gay-couples-aren-t-monogamous-will-straight-couples-go-monogamish.html

Pretty much all married gay men I've encountered continue to be promiscuous after marriage, just usually with their partner's permission.

I've played the Red Alert games, so the answer is no

Oh I agree with that completely, and we should continue to proclaim the truth that Democrats are the real racists. But as a political and campaigning strategy etc. it's ineffective at best.
The falsehood that Dems are not racist hasn't been destroyed by the truth that they are, because they have enough cultural and other power to protect themselves from that truth.
No, you still need to traverse the Volga-Don canal to get to the Volga and those other canals (and eventually the Baltic or Arctic) because the Don empties into the Sea of Azov/Black Sea, while the Volga empties into the Caspian.

Being able to almost singlehandedly block in Russian access in and out of the Black Sea (the only alternative is the Volga-Don canal) is incredibly valuable, and probably the main reason we put up with their shenanigans.

DR3 is true but useless. Similar to how Republicans control "patriotism" the Dems are in firm control of defining who is or isn't racist, who is or isn't gay, etc. It's how Biden can get away with saying if you don't vote for him you aren't black, leftists saying Peter Thiel isn't really gay, etc. Doesn't matter if it's true because it has effectively zero effect on the median normie's perception of the issue.

Only if it were the sole determiner of personality, which I don't think is what @Hoffmeister25 is suggesting.

In (non-canonical) Judeo-Christian mythology, Lilith was the first wife of Adam (before Eve). In many depictions she's very similar to a succubus.

4chan/imageboard style threads have been my favorite for a while, especially ever since you could load the replies in a little preview window by mousing over them.

Just living up to the stereotype that leftist memes are giant walls of text (that also utterly fail as memes).

My biggest qualm with folks claiming that Wokism and Gnosticism are the same/similar ideologies is that the Gnostics despised the body (and material reality generally). Woke types tend to be obsessed with this material reality only (and most don't believe that there is anything outside of this life/material existence).

Got a link? Is it actually for the same woman?

Haitians in Springfield eating cats appears to be at least a little more than just a wild rumor. A woman filed a police report on August 28th after her cat went missing and she found meat/gore in her Haitian neighbors' yard that she believed to be her cat's:

No information on if the police ever investigated further to confirm or deny this report.
For those of you who didn't believe the story, does this new evidence change your view, and in what direction? I was already leaning towards it being likely due to my prior knowledge of Haitian cuisine including cats, and the police call recording from Springfield about Haitians stealing geese from the park.

Would you have the same complaints if I referred to Russians collectively as Ivans, or Brits collectively as Nigel, etc.?

I think people drastically overestimate the competence of software developers. There is far, far, far greater demand for software development than there are competent developers able to meet it. And even the best of the best devs make security fuckups periodically, so if the median dev is below basic competence then the enterprise dev fuckwads and/or criminally incompetent offshore Pajeets that would be tasked with writing an online voting system would make orders of magnitude more security mistakes.

I would love to learn more about this. Happy to read a link if you don't feel like explaining.

In a nutshell, they require massive periodic selloffs of stocks to pay for, which will have tons of second order effects. That in addition to the fact that the government already pulls in enough tax money to piss down the drain/burn in a giant fire, it doesn't need more.

Ok, so you end up with an entirely Indian/Chinese student body in the Ivy League.
No, there will still be whites (and blacks and hispanics) over the threshold for the lottery too, just fewer per capita. That said, I would wholeheartedly support severely restricting the amount of student visas we hand out to prioritize American students (and similar solutions).

On one level, because there is such an enormous pool of applicants with stellar academic credentials you are invariably going to need to rely on other criteria, and the criteria you choose is equivalent to choosing a demographic pool.
Easy peasy, a lottery system that picks X students out all applicants with test scores/GPAs higher than Y threshold.

If the lower courts' treatment of 2A cases after Bruen are any indication, I imagine any AA cases will work around SCOTUS in any way possible (and even openly defy them).
Even open desert has more logistical issues than you'd expect. Just ask Erwin Rommel or Archie Wavell. Or the crusaders at Hattin.
