The steelman is the claim that she was being abused and her husband made her psychotic. As far as I know, there is no evidence for this; it's pure pop-feminist misandry.

IIRC- I'm not a chiller tech but a more general commercial HVAC technician- most chillers use a cooling tower where at least one stage of cooling sprays the water through the air to cool it down by evaporation, but that the water losses are fairly low- because this is usually condenser cooling water and most of it is returned to the system.

Then for anyone not American, there is the problem with these companies having ties to the Trump administration. An administration which seems to view every relationship as entirely transactional and that will use its leverage aggressively to get whatever it wants out of others.
Well yeah, America is becoming an Empire. What did you think an Empire was?
And this applies domestically as well; woke is in retreat in large part because US state ideology is just generally in retreat. The imperial state cares about what it can get(and votes might be part of that deal), not about what the people believe.
A non-Trump empire would do the same thing.

There were totally poor, racially segregated areas with high interpersonal violence in Till's time. That interpersonal violence is what killed him, after all.

nearly all cross-race rapes between Whites and Blacks involve a White female victim.
Note that this may simply be because rapists do, in fact, want to have sex with their victims- and white women are generally vastly more attractive than black women. It doesn't necessarily mean that blacks are more violent(there is another set of statistics you'd need to use to make that argument).

But datacenters obviously will get built, even if people don't like it- tying grid improvements to them is the best way to make sure grid improvements actually happen.

Add a workplace cafeteria paying $30+/hr. Add some nice grounds taking a few full time gardeners.

These guys need to offer $30/hr to wash dishes in the cafeteria. Yes, it's way above market, but it's the equivalent of spreading money around from a helicopter- people like it.

Making datacenters build grid improvements is a real idea that's been floated around.

My understanding is that the thing that made the Emmet Till case bad was that we will never know if he did or didn't do the thing, and that is because he was denied due process of law, and that is the principle problem with vigilante justice.
Now accusing a prominent liar of lying is not vigilante justice.

No one wants a faithful adaptation of the odyssey. It’s be an NC-17 art film, which fair enough, there’s an audience for… but it would also have a much longer runtime than clockwork orange.

This seems like normal low-IQ people ranting and raving about hot topics. But this time, thé people on the other side are weird ultra-wealthy lizards with business interests that regularly get accused of being slightly evil by both sides of the aisle.

Because the thing they’re on the internet for is porn, and not other things?

These migrants understand very well how not to rape women- most of them are not sexual predators within their own families. They simply choose to do it anyways.

You can assimilate people from other cultures, but it requires making them give up their culture. The UK seems unwilling to do this.

I propose an experiment- confucians create missionaries who travel to spread the word of improvement through education, respect for elders, hierarchy, etc to all the most savage primitives of the world. I predict that the sentinelese and new guineans will improve themselves.
Islam is, I agree, an interesting case, partly because it would be the textbook example of bad culture even where the ethnic group it affects is otherwise quite capable. But we don't need to look that far. Anthropologists- most of whom are progressives or marxists and don't like Christianity- have extensively studied the difference between primitives who have been converted by Christian missionaries and primitives who remain in the service of dumb idols. And, like, there isn't a space program from third world Christianity, but they generally compare favorably to their coethnics who continue to worship demons instead. You don't seem to see that with Islam, despite extensive Islamic missionary activities in Africa.

I am aware that some people are simply too stupid to learn. But there are real problems with many schools serving mostly blacks, with terrible instructional methods, unwillingness to make students learn, etc- an attitude that Scott(pbuh) describes as 'success through fraud and very low standards'. But I've met many black people and they aren't actual literal retards. They can count. They can read. They understand synonyms, they understand that they would be hungry if they didn't have breakfast.
'The average black will never learn differential calculus' is a different statement than the level of dysfunction you're describing, and poor pedagogy is a known thing that their community suffers from.

Eh, France did, and most Latin American countries were white ruled at the time they ended slavery. The Arabs kept slavery for a very long time but Europeans didn't bother.

You are aware that Lutherans, WASPs, and the different Catholic ethnicities Did Not Trust Each Other at the time?

You are, if anything, understating thé taboo on Catholic-Protestant intermarriage; before WWII different kinds of ethnic Catholics wouldn’t marry other ethnicities of Catholic. But it’s also more or less true that red tribe whites are functionally an ethnicity these days, and this is what ‘white’ as an ethnic group normally refers to(because it is the majority, and often a large majority, of the white population outside of New England).

A long time ago I had a boyfriend who was Black. He could barely count when he went to pay for things (this is not an exaggeration) and I'm not sure he could even type to text or if he used speech to text for everything he wrote.
Are you sure that this is due to low intelligence rather than being simply undereducated? Inner city schools can be appallingly bad.
Now I don’t claim that they would be producing Nobel laureates very often with better instruction. But one of my uncle’s stepfather worked as a math teacher in juvie when he was younger and claims to have successfully taught math(I think pre-Algebra) to, by definition, some of the dumbest teen boys in west Texas. Mississippi with its population of poor black kids manages to teach fairly decently- actually better than all-white midwestern states with very high adult IQ scores.

A lot of these templates aren’t genetic- Confucianism is really good at learning and implementing superior organizational realities. Islam is definitely not(and Muslims are not majority Arab- this is a missionary religion).

Yeah, I think this is FAFO dumbassery biting them in the rear. Being married to a US citizen, with the aid of a competent immigration lawyer(which military personnel have access to) is pretty much a shoe in for residency.

You will notice that these countries are non-democracies.
I suspect that this is the sort of technocratically correct policy which democracies cannot implement due to the words of a soft spoken MemriTv guest- democracy is government of the people, by the people, and for the people. But the people, are retarded.
Because female hysteria is a real thing. That our society chooses to pretend women are as mentally/emotionally strong and healthy as men doesn't invalidate that.
