I think euthanasia should be legal
I think importing doctors from poor countries gives you doctors with lower than average amounts of empathy. Seeing human misery up close creates calloused human beings.
I'd be ok with writing a 30 day high dose script of dilaudid that a terminal patient could take all at once to kill themselves with, but the physical act of administering that lethal dose is where I draw the line. If they need help let the family do it.
I hope euthanasia never becomes legal here because I wouldn't like that in my job description and I wouldn't like to interact professionally with anybody who is ok with that. I wouldn't want to work alongside a high-kill-count sniper or kamikaze-drone operator either.
Mexicans are one of our DEI-favored groups so you're agreeing while pretending that you're not agreeing. Mexicans get the bonus points for being brown and Cubans don't (unless they're black). How many Cubans did you meet?
He's directionally correct. I was an HR manager for a federal agency for a couple years. I was the only white male who wasn't a disabled veteran, I got the job by having the highest test score of anybody fluent in Spanish in our district. (so essentially I got the job for being Hispanic)
You get 5 bonus points on the exam for minority status and 5 points for disabled veteran status. People assume this is 5% but it's actually 5 questions on a 35 question test. If a black disabled veteran gets a 26/35 on the exam, they get an adjusted score of 36/35 and hired over a non-disabled veteran white male who got a 35/35. The test is really quite easy and most applicants get close to a perfect score, making it nearly impossible to get in without qualifying for "bonus points". This is why the postal service has so many black employees.
Actually, I did, and they didn't take me because I'm not a DEI-favored category or a disabled veteran. When I worked government HR I noticed that disabled veterans took up the majority of our white male hiring quota. I only got that HR job because I can speak Spanish, which put me in a different hiring pool with fewer disabled veterans in it.
Much like your motivated-misunderstanding here identifies you as an enemy of Musk, sentiment analysis of the responses will identify other federal employees unable to sufficiently disguise their animosity towards DOGE and the Trump administration.
If you weren't motivated to misunderstand you would realize that they aren't looking for people who don't do work, they are happy enough to create a proscription list of feds who fail to disguise their contempt in their email responses.
I don't see why this is necessary given that he can basically just make anything up and people will believe it at this point (see the claim of millions of 150 year olds collecting SS).
Perhaps those people aren't stupid and are also engaging in motivated-misunderstanding. If it bothers you, that means it's working. This is current year +9, 9th year of the post-truth era, you should have caught on by now.

The benefit to DOGE is that they can use the data to make a list of DOGE-uncooperative federal employees that should be prioritized for dismissal. They don't even need to open the responses, just making a spreadsheet with "answered email: yes/no" is a useful data point.
If you are confident that you are useful and friendly to the administration, you will answer. If you aren't, then you won't, and will be be subject to increased scrutiny.

So there was a massive decrease in the amount of Church-related content compared to the first game? I'm pretty sure that going 7 days without going inside a church was considered a major sin back then, seems odd to leave out.

It establishes a best-bro relationship in the first game and gives you the option to put it in his butt in the second one. I feel like that's a pretty big change in the game's central themes.
It's a great place to go as a tourist. It might be a muslim country, but its not too-muslim. (The first cab-driver I met had me taking shots of his moonshine in the back of the taxi-van.) The vibes in the western part of the country are more like Greece. Lots of Roman ruins to see (Ephesus), there's also a place where a water spring with high calcium content comes out at the top of a hill and covers the entire hill with calcium formations, very scenic.
What I've noticed is a very inconsistent double standard on what the definition of "species" is in biology. Isn't it interesting how all the extinct races (like Homo luzonensis) get classed as proto-human variants while all the ones that survived to modernity are homo sapiens sapiens? This is even the case when the "non-human" great-apes like Homo neanderthalis were much more intelligent/advanced than some of the extant varieties of Homo sapiens. That taboo on calling people monkeys is clearly downstream of public awareness that the "academic" understanding of human taxonomy are politically motivated and don't stand up to scrutiny.

I think that when they say they are out of training data, they mean they are out of legal training data. There's a lot of low-hanging illegal fruit they could pick. Goodle hasn't used everybody's gmail inboxes. I have about hundreds of thousands of pieces of input data they could harvest that way.

What they do is hire people to make new training data. There's a few online platforms where you can get paid to do this. I've been paid to do this.

Maybe they use the automatic conversation transcription technology that logs every conversation held in hearing range of a cell phone and transmits it to the government. Text transcripts of everything said in the United States for the past few years would certainly feed their data need.
It's been possible for a long time now, there's no way they aren't doing this.

A fertility crisis would be a black swan event that could cause a reversal. The bubonic plague had a pretty big impact on labor value and social order, and that was only a 30% population reduction.

Prone gets used 20x as often as supine, at least in English.

I checked because you mentioned it and I had biweekly and semiweekly reversed in my head even though biannual and semiannual follow the same pattern and were saved correctly in my memory. I feel like a public school teacher may have done this to me.

wire-rimmed glasses,
Wire-rimmed or frameless (Jebs) are Republican coded now, leftists wear thick plastic frames (Maddows).
Unless they're round, John Lennons can be wire-rim without being right wing.
Remember to always carry both kinds for whenever you need to shapeshift fit in.

"the only position of women in the movement is prone"
I'm trying to figure this one out, do they have something against missionary position? Is missionary the white man's sex position?
Laying on your back is supine, prone is how you shoot a rifle at a distant target.
Are they saying they want their women to be sexually available or crawling around with rifles?
Or is this a proto-Mixalot saying that he likes women to have butts so large that they have to sleep prone because laying on their back would be too uncomfortable?

I've only heard it from zionist republicans as a way to refer to anti-zionist right wingers without having to talk about what they believe that makes them woke (that Israel is committing genocide in Palestine).

I bought something through marketplace the other day and paid through the app. The person never sent what I ordered, I reported them to facebook and they gave me my money back.
So it seems like they're doing it.
Hoffmeister25 was just paraphrasing a very widely discussed Pew Research Finding and talking about the potential reason behind the non-controversial fact that "Black people care more about being Black than white people care about being white." There's an order of magnitude difference in the proportion of people giving the most extreme poll response.
I actually changed my mind about the crab bucket bit and edited that out before I saw your response to it. I wrote it before I spent some more time reading Hanania's timeline and losing the will to disapprove of the people attacking him.
I forgive him for namefagging because he didn't start doing it until he was outed by a journalist and made unemployable. Namefagging is his only way to make a living now, he has no choice. He could have been a right wing youtuber if he wanted, but instead he decided to picks fights with his former comrades for twitter-clout.
JD Vance did the same thing in 2016 and he was forgiven. So it's never too late to repent, I guess.
I went into that data prepared to agree with you and I'm not seeing that big of a difference. Set it to Tuesday and flip through the routes labeled "Affected" and they seem barely changed. I personally would be much more annoyed paying $9 every day than pleased by the 5% improvement in transit time. The hedonic treadmill will make you forget all about the benefit of lessened traffic but you'll get to experience the annoyance at the toll every single day you pay it.
spamming the comments section of the debate with petty insults about his appearance
Hanania did help bring it on himself by intentionally riling up the Chuds during the H1B visa kerfuffle.
The comments on that reddit post are not as one-sided as I expected, looks like this issue splits redditors differently than the other wedge issues.
Write something completely anodyne but non-confrontational to appease Tiberius or join your supervisor on the proscription list. There's no way you'll get in trouble for writing "Performed my official job duties as job title at gov agency". I predict that many are going to disobey their immediate superiors and comply with the email as best they can. Don't be snarky, the thing LLMs are best at is sentiment analysis.
