Personally, I'm going out in a blaze of glory like Bohdi's 100 year storm, or else a purple haze of tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

It can be important and relevant who the beneficiary is, but my main concern was being led to believe he served as enlisted or an officer in the IDF.

To have a volunteer for a foreign army as the Vice President, a heartbeat from the presidency as they say, seems unconscionable to me, particularly a volunteer for an army that is at the center of violence which is currently bringing the region to the brink.
How misleading is this? Was Shapiro a member of the IDF? Another commenter suggested this was a school project, when Shapiro was a student, that created some benefit the IDF enjoyed. Can you clarify what you mean in the above paragraph?

The argument is that Khelif is a male with a DSD; XY chromosome and male testosterone levels. Due to the DSD, he was raised as a girl, but this should not imply he ought to compete in competitions reserved for women.
The presence or lack of an external male sex organ is relevant to his DSD but not his competitive classification.
That's the argument you should engage with.

My source is my recollection of either the weekly B&R megathread from the last 18 hours or the dedicated boxer thread. My recollection is that the sourcing bottoms out somewhere reasonably reliable.

From the B&R subreddit, it appears the boxer is male intersex with internalized testes that produce typical male levels of testosterone. Similar to Caster Semenya and likewise raised as a girl.

Why calling Trump ‘weird’ is freaking Republicans out
Democrats have started pointing out just how strange the former president and his ilk really are. Ryan Coogan explains why this could be the thing that finally gets under his skin – and might help win Kamala Harris the White House
Pure cope and seethe

The way some of these guys sweat, and I mean in very particular ways, you could be misled...
True, but this guy is/was just presenting a bunch of taboo links, and then criticizing them. Never really defended taboo. Surely there is some Kos / SRS / sneerclub dedicated to this important work. These attempts are in a bind between actually advocating for taboo versus hiding effectively.

Anyway, looking him up, I found a recent article he wrote entitled It All Comes Down to Race. I read it carefully, twice, and I'd like to engage this community because I don't know any other place where this can be critically discussed.
You aren't aware of anywhere else on the internet that allows criticism of white nationalism? Seems fishy...

That's correct, according to Xitter. There is an interview with a redheaded bearded man with a MAGA visor who says he saw the shooter and his rifle and alerted police minutes before the shooting, and tried to point him out to Secret Service for several minutes as well. The shooter was prone and crawling on a rooftop nearly 90 degrees to the right of Trump.

There is an undying faction of TMA (traditional martial arts) which refers to BJJ as blowjob jujitsu or similar, as though some rhetorical win can possibly reverse the steamroller that modern MMA represents. Reassuringly, this faction gets smaller every year as the evidence rolls in.

Because there won't be anyone trying to "wokify" your little hobby once the Woke have been crushed utterly.
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Let's gameplan it. If you could wave your magic wand and get masses of people to follow your guidelines. What kind of scchedule / timeline / milestones are we looking at?
Is there killing? Brainwashing? New laws? Revoking of old laws? What institutions are torn down and which remain?

If I said that affirmative action isn't supposed to be opposed to any of that, it's supposed to counteract known disequities of opportunity in order to end at true meritocracy.
Sounds like blather so far.
like adjusting to the left because you know the sites on your gun are off a bit to the right, would you believe me?
No. Because I am advocating to zero the sights. Level the playing field. Stop trying to pick winners. Are some people dealt different hands? Yes, Jay-Z and Beyonce's kids will grow up uber privileged. What do you propose to do about it?

Eh, what about carbon monoxide poisoning, or nitrogen narcosis, or enough morphine to kill a large horse? Or heck, how about general anesthesia followed by a severing of the carotid?
Have we really not figured out how to reliably get a human to go to sleep and never wake up?
I'm sure you've heard of "sideshows" or "slideshows" where groups of mostly Dodge Challengers and Chargers do donuts in the middle of an urban intersection or freeway or bridge, creating an informal yet spectacularly dangerous block party. Also the roving gangs of plateless dirt bikes and quads, presumably mostly stolen anyway. Oakland, Baltimore, Atlanta, etc
And the police are literally completely incapable of shutting these down. We've heard the official explanations about manpower and escalation, but I would love to know how those internal deliberations really go. You've gotta have some gung-ho sergeants putting together gameplans and orchestration, but the top brass shut it down? For woke / squishy / PR reasons? Anyone have real insight?
