The NBA orchestrated the Luka Doncic trade in exchange for fixing the draft lottery to get Flagg to the Mavs.

Interesting in the context of the preexisting small scale conspiracy theory that the giant casino company which owns the mavs deliberately traded him to reduce the team’s fortunes, because they think a losing team gives them more political influence.

Right wing twitter recently melted down when location was shown for accounts, and it turned out that 70% of users with a name like DefendTheWest turned out to be from India and Nigeria.

Also revealed a giant percentage of man hating feminists were from South Asia and sub Saharan Africa.

Uh, doesn’t the average OF girl have quite poor earnings?

But the proles are not upset about celeb pay. They might be upset about CEO pay, but rarely entertainers. They’re the fans here(that’s what celebrity means).

She’ll very probably never marry or if she does, it’ll be to a man who’s a laughingstock

I would expect her to wind up in multiple relationships with high status entertainer men- isn’t that what sex symbols usually do?

I always wonder why the modern world has such an allergy to beauty.

In a week, I will attend the most beautiful service of the liturgical year- the rorate mass begins just before sunset, in candlelight. It progresses, the church lit entirely by light shining through the stained glass at its completion. Every year, I step out, go to breakfast in some bland diner, and wonder- 'where did we go wrong?' Our buildings look like a cubist painting of dog poop covered in white and grey paint- despite that nice straight lines with some mildly interesting decorations, fleur de lis or lone stars or stylized cow's heads looks much nicer and is cheaper. Our modern art is better termed 'where's the art', with the exercise of trying to figure out what's an art exhibit and what's just an empty spot in the museum being more interesting than appreciating the 'art'.

Depends on how you define 'mainstream'. The DNC old guard is very pro Israel. The black democrats and the old school establishment dems are generally pro Israel. It is true that anti-Israel stances are less fringe than in the GOP, however.

We're never going to know, but she's related to some Republican bigwigs.

She's related to some local republican Apparatchiks and it was taken up by the local TPUSA chapter immediately. It was a set up and the university chose to knuckle under.

Ah, the logic behind greyhound races.

It'll be for film buffs to watch classics. Instead of pretentious people watching a movie they've already seen in a freezing muddy park, they'll do it in a nice climate controlled(and dry) theater.

It's also wrong because substituting for oil is pretty easy. You can convert a diesel vehicle to running off of LNG in your garage(literally, if you're mechanically inclined), and we're never going to run out of natural gas. Nuclear/hydro/geothermal power are buildable. EVs get better every year. Etc, etc.

It's been a while since I've done one of these- what's a small scale conspiracy theory you're willing to go to bat for?

Now, by 'small scale conspiracy theory' I do not mean grand unified theories of the jewlluminati or lizard people, or major government direction, or whatever. It's small-scale.

Some things I think are likely true-

The 'Marriage penalty' in US welfare law is- or was- an intentional experiment to prove that marriage was outmoded in late-industrial societies. It fits the zeitgeist of the time and we know there were other reckless experiments going on in first world countries(like German pedophiles). It was not based on the assumption that single mothers need the help more.

Coyote predation on small children is far more common in the USA than commonly acknowledged(note that a huge increase over a trivial base is still trivial), and those toddlers who just disappear and everyone assumes the parents killed them but they're never charged because nobody ever finds the body were mostly snatched by coyotes. Wildlife departments and law enforcement agencies prefer to cover this up to discourage reprisals by poisoning, which has substantial knock on effects. The only confirmed coyote kill of a child(there is also a case of a hippie musician who wandered near a den, but this probably wasn't a predatory attack) was interrupted during the attack rendering it undeniable.

Conventional health wisdom overstates effect sizes because it originated in attempts to explain the rise of chronic disease in the mid twentieth century. In reality, these diseases became common because people lived long enough to get them(largely due to reduced disease burden), with effects from rising waistlines, sedentary lifestyles, etc.

The affected soccer hating is a joke. They don’t actually think you’re a homosexual communist for it. Maybe for other things, but red tribe normies find ‘caring about sports’ a point of commonality with Europeans, not something alien.

They think you’re gay commies for acceptance of nudism and high youth unemployment, though.

I’ll have you know I’m actually fourteen.

The governor’s address is public information.

Normie red tribers do not think soccer is gay, they just think it isn’t for them- like basketball or bike racing or something.

Isn’t China’s population data known to be particularly bad because of high levels of fraud by government officials trying to inflate their own importance?

Uh, didn't the local chapter of the TPUSA play a starring role?

I think it was probably written to get the Oklahoma congress to take up the problem of increasing supervision on state universities to 'prevent anti-Christian discrimination' and demonstrates the minimum amount of effort needed for that purpose.

I mean, it's very plausible she didn't put a lot of effort into the essay. This was clearly intended as a political stunt. I suspect it worked better than it was supposed to- the goal was probably to testify about the need to give TPUSA actual legal authorities over state universities before the Oklahoma house.

The obvious place to start would be the following question: "Let's see the other essays submitted and the grades they received." I would imagine someone asking that question is why the school has so abruptly sided with Fulnecky, because I would bet a hundred bucks to the charity of my opposite's choice that there were objectively worse essays given better grades in that grading pile. Do you think I'm overly confident in that assessment, particularly given the school's response? If you don't, then what's the basis of our disagreement?

I mean, the University of Oklahoma almost certainly is highly worried about the state government taking away big chunks of its independence for political reasons, and telling a trans TA(so not even a professor) to shut up and sit down is a small price to pay.

At OU? She would have been speaking in the Oklahoma statehouse which would pass a law restricting the university's independence, maybe. That may have been the goal. But losing the war was gonna be implausible.

I mean, covid happened in 2020, and permanently smashed social trust for a huge percentage of the population.

I'm going to back this one up- no one in my bubble thinks the economy is bad.

I mean it might be the University of Oklahoma, but it's still the University of Oklahoma, that is, a state flagship. It doesn't get the serious bottom of the barrel students- in the local neighborhood Texas Tech or Kansas State would be the schools notorious for graduating students who are barely literate. This isn't some HBCU or Police-Department-Requires-a-Diploma mill.
