It was imposed by law. You haven't seen photos of 101st Airborne escorting blacks into a white school ?




That's not quite fair, they also escorted white students.

I remember it got even weirder with states selling off their in-perpetuity settlements to wall street for cash now through various bonds. An old propublica article from 2014. You'll find various stories about refinancing and bailing out of various state/municipal tobacco payment bonds throughout the years in local papers or on the wires.

I don't know why they released the leaks as tweets;




Wasn't it part of the agreement that got them access to the internal data in the first place? A quid pro quo that benefits the platform. Taibbi does have an index of the threads with executive summaries on his news website/substack.

In this specific case, a particular line from Call of Duty is a deep meme of the post-GWOT, heavily video game influenced gun culture. Two long arms, three weapons with different manuals of arms, three different non-cross compatible magazines across two ammo types is in-line with the type of abstractions that video games use (until Halo most shooters had unlimited weapons, simplified ammunition management) and immediately calls to mind that reference.

That view of historical territorial sovereignty irrespective of ethnography directly contradicts your claim of "merely rule over all ethnically Chinese people". Those three regions/countries in particular are both historical and current examples of China ruling over non-Han peoples/countries. Regional hegemon seems the more appropriate motte to retreat to, since historical territorial sovereignty could be stretched as far as the Korean peninsula and even parts of Japan if one really wanted to abuse various proto-historic documents.

China is content to merely rule over all ethnically Chinese people




How does that square with Xianjiang, Tibet and the Sino-Vietnamese war? At least the other autonomous regions are majority Han even if they have significant non-Han populations. Inner Mongolia the odd one out but the history there gets complicated given Mongolia in general's relationship with Communism and the Sino-Soviet split.

Seems like the sort of thing that could be added on to the already expansive SF86 20B.2 and 20B.6 questions. One amusing point of government efficiency in that DOE clearances use the same paperwork as the DOD so you get military and nuclear with one update.

Doesn't the US military have loads and loads of old 9mm pistols hanging around ?

There have already been some social justice aligned criticisms of Bruen response efforts like Oregon's Measure 114 along those lines. It would probably be amplified in your hypothetical cases where it's the other team in control of the state though.

Somewhat lightweight but not much more than a basic AR pistol at 4.25lbs unloaded compared to 5-6lbs. The folding aspect seems pointless in this context, given that they drove to the school then had everything at the ready by the time they got from the parked car to the front doors. Folding is usually more useful for something like a backpack (although the way the S2K folds makes optics much more complicated), not showing up at the front door in camouflage pants wearing a shooter vest. There's also three different manuals of arms to consider.

It gets weirder. The load out as reported was a Keltec Sub2000 used as primary, an (10.5 by the look) AR15 pistol as the secondary and a S&W M&P Shield EZ as the pistol. Maybe the Keltec was favored over the AR because short barreled ARs indoors are excessively loud and headache inducing. From what I remember of the Shield line the full size pistol magazines don't work in them unless they're the Shield+ subline M&P9c (and cross compatibility between EZ and regular Shields is questionable) so there isn't even magazine compatibility between the Keltec and the pistol.


Edit: Shield Plus, EZ and regular Shields all seem uniquely non-compatible for magazines. I was thinking of the M&P9 Compact which is compatible with full size M&P9 pistol magazines that variants of the Keltec Sub2000 and the new S&W M&P FPC can also use. Four separate (sub|micro|)compacts, all under the same M&P general branding (as opposed to the CSX, SD and Equalizer lines) none of which play nice with each other, that's some market differentiation.

They both take inspiration from the same well, but Star Wars is much more open about the roots in the Saturday morning serials like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers




It also lifts a lot of plot and characterization from a specific Kurosawa movie. Mostly changed for the better but the parallel is very transparent.

Although there is probably plenty of online info on standardized tests and whatnot in its training set, if it's from scrubbing the internet, so I doubt you can infer a ton about how "smart" it is in general from these.




This has been an annoying aspect of LLM AI hype. There are plenty of indicators of something going on but many of the test results are not of that set. If you train them on the question sets and answer keys for repeatably mechanically gradable exams like the SAT, GRE or bar exams then it should be expected that they will perform well on them.

How much of that is not wanting to touch a World War German analog IP starring a prepubescent girl with a ten-foot pole beyond condemning it? Most people can't even tell that it's a later industrial WWI with a German Empire analog rather than histories designated bad guy faction. On top of that the main character is worse than a Nazi, Tanya is -may the Cathedral forgive me for saying this- a right libertarian capitalist.

Some of that comes from a very strong (and reasonably grounded) stereotype associating Korean immigrants with Christianity. To the point of it being a joke in Asian American circles that while other Asians come over and open restaurants and nail salons (if they're feeling especially broadminded, they might add motels to the list), Koreans comes over to start a churches. Still a good example and probably comes from the original source material being written by a Korean immigrant (who true to stereotype is the son of a pastor).

Your presumption is the problem. Afrikaners were not British. There are two distinct peoples of pallor in South Africa and they even went to war against each other a couple of times inadvertently leading to the creation of the Boy Scouts.
