What’s your creative process for a post like this? Do you start by following Jews on Twitter, then looking for sequelae? Or do you see a modern habbening and start tearing up the floorboards?
At least on /pol/ in the last 24 hours, most of the threads about this have brought up the various Jewish connections. Both the extremely tenuous/schizo ones like "Israel tweeted out something about a Morrocan holiday it means they're behind it!" as well as some that could theoretically have something of substance behind them. So I wouldn't doubt it if @SecureSignals isn't effectively outsourcing a lot of the research for posts like these to /pol/ and certain corners of Twitter.

I was indeed concerned that they might hurt me or my property, in addition to being concerned that they might hurt others or themselves.

If you say so

A 10 year old is far more likely to lose control and hit me or someone else or someone else's property while a 14 year old who isn't being obviously reckless is much more capable of managing a vehicle. A street legal golf cart usually goes about 25 mph and weighs about 1000 pounds, I don't know if you're being intentionally obtuse here or not with the electric moped comparison.

who is in the cohort of the people who call the cops, including in situations that don't personally concern them
Are you implying that 10 year olds driving past me on public roads doesn't personally concern me?
I can echo that bafflement. Just started a new job and, like the old job, LLM usage is mandatory. And I can't just melt into the crowd like I could back at my megacorp. Every day I alternate between "this is nice and convenient" and "how did it make such a simple and obvious mistake?" It helps/hurts that most of what I'm doing is Python backend and Typescript frontend, both of which I don't care for, so I assume there's some Gell-Mann amnesia going on too. Though I'm still working on what is essentially a basic bitch CRUD app, I've yet to try it on anything truly complex.

Negative interactions with cops come from having so many laws that if you meet a cop, either he's busting you or you'd better be on guard not to call attention to some law you may be violating.
Anecdata here, but since you made an absolute statement my anecdotes are a disproof. Here are the past 3 interactions I had with cops:
-
Waving to my highway patrolman neighbor when I passed him coming home last week while he was driving out to go on duty, he waved back and smiled.
-
Called the cops on some 10 year olds who were driving a golf cart through the neighborhood (I wouldn't have cared if they were ~14 or older, 10 is way to young to be driving on public roads like that). The officer who investigated called me back after he failed to find them (I assume they had already arrived at their destination and were no longer out and about by the time the cop was able to investigate). He was very polite on the phone and apologized for not being able to find them.
-
Got a speeding ticket in a notorious speed trap town between where I live and my in-laws live. I was actually speeding and was retarded not to be more careful.
So, uh, 2 out of 3 of my past interactions fail your absolute standard of "either he's busting you or you'd better be on guard not to call attention to some law you may be violating".
Maybe don't make such absolute, broad, sweeping generalizations about roughly 750,000 people (the total number of cops in the USA).

but it is indeed correct that you cannot deer hunt with an AR-15
Depends on the state: https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/whitetail-deer-hunting/227252-legal-rifle-calibers-state.html

Everyone agrees that "being white is better than being non-white*: the question is in how whites obtained their Privileged position.
To echo Nwallins, I also disagree. Being a higher IQ (or otherwise talented) black is better than being white, because you get both the advantages of affirmative action and the benefits of your natural talents.

For what it's worth I think you're a bastard but I'll still raise a stink if the mods ban you for silliness like they just did.
First they came for the gypsies, and I said nothing for I was not a gypsy
Then they came for the Somalians and I said "Make sure you get all the Somalis".
I dislike about 99% of /u/magicalkittycat 's posts and I found this particular post considerably less obnoxious than most. Now if they had dodged any challenges to the suggestion/assertion at the end of their post, as I've often seen happen, then I'd probably support a temp ban.

There's always creeps in every place.
Sure, but the creeps are going to find far fewer children to prey on per capita in the Hearts of Iron 4 community (though I imagine they'll find plenty of weirdo commie and/or fascist femboys). Creeps prefer to congregate where they can actually creep on kids, so Roblox has way more per capita than other platforms and communities.

Hector (played by Eric Bana) basically is the main character for any parts shown from the Trojan perspective. The movie isn't high art or anything, and it takes some liberties with the story, but it seems better than what Nolan just put out at least. Also Peter O'Toole is great as King Priam.

So the Brad Pitt Troy, basically.

Out of curiosity, have any of these reports so far suggested that birth control access, abortion, and women's liberation generally might be a contributing factor to the decline in fertility? And have they suggested any solutions to such things that might go against the modern liberal feminist views on such things?

There's something darkly funny about the prospect of the profit motive of the cynical businessman being far more valuable than the truth motive of a good-faith academic for producing actual knowledge or useful research.
Scams like Theranos aside, you generally need something to sell to make a profit, and you need something that at least sort of kind of works to get people to actually buy it most of the time. Or as Ghostbusters put it:
"Personally, I liked the university. They gave us money and facilities, we didn't have to produce anything! You've never been out of college! You don't know what it's like out there! I've worked in the private sector. They expect results."

You're lucky you missed the "bring a live chicken to the theater for when Jack Black says 'chicken jockey' in the Minecraft movie" trend
My wife and I make it a point to try and go to movies near the end of their theater run, especially for anime movies. We had the theater all to ourselves for the latest Demon Slayer movie since we saw it in the last week of its run (though we had to drive to a theater almost an hour away to see it since the theater closest to us had stopped showing it a week early).
At least none of these nerds literally yelled at the screen, as I had the displeasure of witnessing during a screening of Akira some years back.
TETSUUUOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! KANEDAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Hopefully I retriggered some of your PTSD there.
Edit: On a more serious note, I can't help but agree with your point. I spend way too much time on /pol/ and have no problem dropping the normie killing word that starts with an N, but I was playing Meccha Chameleon with my wife and some friends the other day on a public server and there was some rando who just kept saying it over and over nonstop in voice chat and not even in a remotely funny way. It's like a certain subset of people find something edgy/cool but don't understand the core of what makes it cool and imitate it in a way that just doesn't make sense.
Yes, anime villain #345647 with long hair, a trench coat, and a big sword is cool. No, you imitating it with your obese body and your dandruff and grease and your katana from the mall ninja shop isn't, and I really don't understand how you can't see that.

Same, I just got to my third straight year of subscribing this year and it's ~$15 a month from the 3rd year onwards (with the annual billing discount).

I wish I could get an IntelliJ license at work, but it is not to be.
If you're willing to pony up for your own personal license (which is much cheaper than what JetBrains charges enterprise customers) the license explicitly allows you to use it at work:

Is that with GAAP accounting?
Somewhat off-topic, but my brain was getting tickled trying to remember some culture war adjacent story involving Ceuta from a few years ago and I just remembered it and it's a hilarious one. After Spain passed a self identification gender identity law, tons of soldiers and police and others in Ceuta immediately started identifying as women (without making any sort of effort to pass etc.) to get better pay/benefits/special treatment:
