A huge amount of that is the framing of the case and how it was argued. If it happens in another state it's likely covered quite differently in the media and different evidence is admitted

It does but the final thing is shaming the last guy for doing a hecking racism. From a legal POV the movie is absolute shlock.

I think this kind of lolcow can snowball to way more monetary rewards in today's era of streaming, memecoins and online casino deals though. Previous versions of this would come and go without ever really capitalizing on it

I mean sure but also anybody who's been on a dating app knows what the lowend looks like these days and it's a big girl or trans or really really alternate looks. That girl is okay

Yeah I didn't grow up with cassettes but my parents had a large collection. My mom in particular had a bunch of mixtapes that people had given her in the 80s and 90s

Depends on the level of editing prowess I'd say. Something like the Will Stancil show involves a ton of storyboarding and curating generations per my understanding. It's hard not to point at the Will Stancil show and say that it isn't art even if it is derivative.

I also unironically agree with this take. That aigen is unequivocally art in the expression of trolling and a point of view.

I mean this is just broadly where West Europe, Australia and Canada have landed. You're not getting the cost effective quality of life you would in nicer emerging countries and it's a lot harder to set yourself up for home run money outside the USA

My understanding is broadly similar. Caste system gives an easy solution to both 'should we help them' and 'why are they like that'. You can easily designate a lower caste an outgroup, their struggles are self-evident proof of their inferiority and it can be treated as natural law of the universe

Yeah. Junkies exist but most asian societies are a lot better than current year Western society at atleast moving them out of the nice places. This is facilitated by greater cultural affinity to gated communities and whatnot, but policing is just generally more civic minded

In the event of a complication can exponentially blow up if you're stuck in another country

Singapore/Malayan Chinese were incredibly rich by Chinese standards prior to WW2. Part of the reason the Japanese were so vicious during occupation was since money from SEA Chinese funded a lot of the mainland resistance.
On the other hand the jump between where Singapore was on the eve of independence and where it has since gone is huge and it was far from a given

Exactly. Lot of people can apply filters on an app that wouldn't apply if they met the person by happenstance. If a woman just toggles conservatives off on her Hinge account then that's that

Yeah. I've literally AB-tested this anything but liberal under politics kills you in large metros

I haven't been on the apps in a couple years but putting conservative on your profile in any major metro in the West is absolute poison as a guy

Yes there is very much a case where the rare women who actually self identity as conservative on a dating app tend to be right of Hitler

Yeah but in dating apps not self-declaring a conservative leaning as a man is just a basic shit-test to see if you have any ability to hide your power level. The majority of the women trying to filter by that don't actually believe anything and/or will bury political disagreements if they feel chemistry otherwise when actually meeting.

I thought some were largely pacifist and driven by the allocation of gibs, though?

My mom did a few years teaching in rural Western Australia. Twice a year the indigenous half of the school would empty out for essentially a grand tribal council out in the bush that took a week or so. One of the main functions of this would be that members judged to have broken native law would be speared in the thighs as a punishment

Do the ultra Orthodox trend left wing or right wing in Israeli politics? I feel like their beliefs are kind of spread out across the political axis

There was a controversial activity a generation or two back called the stolen generation in which Aboriginal children were taken from remote locations and forcefully taken to the cities to be educated. This largely impacted children with European admixture.
Ironically this has produced a large group of Indigenous with far greater education, economic success and cultural salience (Nature v Nurture debate can be had) who have largely further diminished their blood quantum over the years. This group does the vast majority of lobbying on Aboriginal issues, whilst the remote community largely sits in whoop whoop and rots.
On the other hand the West can produce email marketing compliance software that the artisans of the past could never dream of.
Also Australia of all the places? Thought it'd have similar issues to the USA in a smaller market if trying to source domestically and likely harder to secure meaningful investment capital
