I've never seen it.

After the previous two turds I did bother watching that one. I'll give it a look.

That's a really good answer.

I suspect other factors would negate this effect. Such as selecting for self-motivated people who can afford to move and buy property. That filters out the listless and destitute. I predict a photo collage of these people vs equivalent income and age white Americans would not obviously show they are ugly losers, as comically shown in that link.

I keep inheriting MATLAB code at work. It is horrible. Can't use it in production since production computers are locked down linux machines that don't have MATLAB. I grit my teeth and do much my work in MATLAB.

BUT NOW, we have an LLM at work approved for our use. I feed it large MATLAB scripts and tell it to give me an equivalent vectorized Python script. A few seconds later I get the Python script. Functions are carried over as Python equivalents. So far 100% success rate.

This thing rocks. Brainless "turn this code into that similar code" tasks take a few seconds rather than an hour.

I had a thermodynamics issue that I vaguely remember learning about in college. I spent maybe a minute thinking up the best way to phrase the relevant question. The LLM gave me the answer and responded to my request for sources with real sources I verified. Google previously declined to show me the relevant results. I now have verified an important point and sent it and high quality sources to the relevant people at work.

It is not perfect. I had a bunch of FFTs I needed to do. Not that complicated. As a test I asked it to write me functions to FFT the input data and then to IFFT the results to recreate the original data. It made a few functions that mostly match my requirements. But as the very long code block went on it lost its way and the later functions were flawed. They were verifiable wrongly. It helpfully made an example using these functions and at a glance I saw it had to be wrong. Just a few hundred lines of code and it gets lost. Not a huge problem. Still an amazing time to results ratio. I clean up the last bit and it is acceptable.

I won't ask these things about potential Jewish bias in the BBC or anything like that. I will continue to ask for verifiable methods of finding answers to real material questions and reap the verifiably correct rewards.

"I drew myself as the cool smirking Chad and you as the chinless soyjack."

I have no reason to think these people are unusually shitty looking or generally dysgenic, as though their wicked thoughts degraded their bodies. They might have that dumb Richard Spencer haircut.

Orwoll structured the community as a Private Membership Association (PMA), which limits land sales exclusively to pre-approved members

Like the original now-outlawed racial covenants.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/3607

Nor shall anything in this subchapter prohibit a private club not in fact open to the public, which as an incident to its primary purpose or purposes provides lodgings which it owns or operates for other than a commercial purpose, from limiting the rental or occupancy of such lodgings to its members or from giving preference to its members.

This housing is incidental to the purpose of this private group or is it the primary point? I'm not a lawyer but I suspect a judge may see through their clever ruse. This sounds suspiciously like a racial covenant by a different name.

Back in college some engineering students thought that would be better. Shave a year off of college and skip the mandatory liberal arts classes. I'm not sure how enriched I really was taking intro courses in anthropology and gender studies. I might have been better off taking more technical classes or graduating sooner. But that's admitting college is a training program for professional tech workers. Some people really don't like that thought.

almost any other group of people when they have any choice to mate with Europeans at all

Potential counter example: my white former classmates, former coworkers and current coworkers.


There aren't that many Asians in America, but they seem to be preferred by many of the white people I know. The pairings I notice far exceed any expected amount not explained by a large bias in each others favor. I also married one, so I'm not judging.

Seems like reading really deep into very little.

I know people who approximately look like this type. Aging, balding white guy with beard. I have no complaints about their looks or character.

Could use more exercise and less food. True, but also true for most Americans their age.

Agreed. I look nothing like those guys and have no complaints. Aging white guys with beards, some balding. Seems pretty typical to me. Could use more cardio, less carbs if we are going to get picky.

Is it true that an 80 hour per month work requirement for able bodied people without children to qualify for Medicaid is part of the BBB? Yes. 80 hours of work, schooling, training or volunteering. Exempted if the recipient has kids 14 years or younger.

The assertion by conservatives is that Medicare was intended for only the poorest and least fortunate among us. Whether it should be expanded to able bodied people who don't work is a political question.

The way it is framed on talk radio is those people losing healthcare are able bodied men who refuse to work and never should have been recipients of government paid healthcare. An unambiguous positive to cut them off Medicaid.

terrified of the massive increase to the ICE budget

Letting in huge numbers of illegals and false asylum claimants by the millions is practically free. Getting them back out is expensive.

The alternative is to shrug and let almost all of them stay. And then the next Democratic president lets in a few million more. Then shrug again. From the point of view of a Republican, you can guaranteed lose hard through inaction, or bite the bullet and go big in reversing the tide.

I think the Democrats will win anyways. It is too great an advantage to be able to let in millions for free.

Yes and they understand identifying as African American or native when you aren't really is consequence-free. Conservatives can mock Elizabeth Warren all they want, her progressive supporters don't care that she is a fake Indian.

Nope. They bury their dead and they are very thoroughly destroyed by decomposition. That won't prevent God from restoring them in the future.

And yes it is silly they don't extend this logic a little further into thinking God will restore someone from a pile of dust or missing an organ due to organ donation.

First off, it is not me torturing them in that game. They brought this on themselves. They board my ship then they deserve for me to cut power to life support, open the air locks and wait with the crew locked in the medical bay while they suffocate. They set foot on my ship, they choose the path of suffering.

Orthodox Jews believe in bodily resurrection. Which means they want their bodies kept intact. No organ donation or cremation, etc. They don't think God makes a fresh new body for you. It is your current body brought to life.

Photosynthesis provides far too little calories of sugar. Outsourcing your photosynthesis to a large quantity of plants gives you enough energy for a high metabolism and big brain.

They lack a central nervous system. If you care about suffering, then they don't count.

Except I once long ago asserted that on a different forum and got a bunch of angry vegans arguing that we don't know they can't suffer despite lacking a central nervous system.

There is no reason to think single celled organisms can suffer.

bees suffer 7% as intensely as humans. The mean estimate was around 15% as intensely as people

Shocking. So shocking I'm calling BS. We should be arguing if one ten thousandth or one one hundred thousandth is a better order of magnitude estimate. Not 15%. Wrong order of magnitude is putting it lightly.

I'm aware of people very concerned about the very hypothetical suffering of tiny bugs including dust mites. Imagining that they have conscious awareness and suffer. Ex: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/3hqXxzFRSZqRFPCTv/killing-the-ants

We need a term for this. Toxic empathy or something.

Yes, this is selectively applied only to white people. I can walk by a huge "La Raza" mural and most people don't seem to mind. An equivalent "WHITE RACE" mural would never be tolerated.

One of my favorite articles. A white nationalist realizes he is actually the true rootless cosmopolitan. He also seems to really distrust and maybe dislike white women. Which is going to make having white babies very hard.

I hope he found happiness with a good Mexican or Asian woman, since he doesn't much seem to like white ones.

why does the concept of white solidarity make you uncomfortable?

In common discourse, no one would say "white solidarity", they refer to this concept as "racism". I suppose most people would be uncomfortable with something they pattern match to open proud racism.

Don't you have bigger problems? It's not like you should feel any "political" loyalty to them...

This is a general anti-empathy argument. Too general. If this was a principled consistent stance applied fairly to all political groups, then it would be merely ruthlessly cutting support for low performers in order to focus on broader goals. We can instead want to support some lower performing people and also pursue other goals. It is some bearable amount of opportunity cost that political groups accept.

I'm not concerned about imaginary white extinction or getting coal miners back to work, etc. But, I can feel some empathy for the victims wage suppression schemes. People who can't outcompete a Bangladeshi child or a Guatemalan in willingness to live in poverty or accept harsh working conditions. Even if they were hypercompetent, they can't and shouldn't want to win this race to the bottom against literal 3rd worlders.

If some white racist also extends some empathy to such people and feels some affinity to them, I don't think it makes sense to criticize that as not sufficiently important. The health and prosperity of their chosen group seems obviously important. Of all the criticisms to level at white nationalists, I'll give them a pass for wishing poor white people in the Midwest were healthier and had a higher labor participation rate.
