Also seems to be a thing in Japan, if some media is to be taken as representative.

Nick Fuentes doesn't even like girls. I don't just mean that he's a mysoginist. I don't even think he likes them sexually.
Wasn't he confirmed as gay, or am I just getting him mixed up with other far-right figures?
(Wait, no, it was that he liked femboys, wasn't it?)

I don't know who's right or who's wrong, but the article didn't even say if the Israeli team won the game (which would seem like an obvious trigger for the rioting, football fans being football fans).

We have RO systems attached to our taps in my home, so I don't need Brita or bottled.

Ross Scott beat the media to the punch by years, however.

A minor criticism, even though I sympathize with your views: what stops individual sports leagues from just all agreeing to lump transwomen in with ciswomen anyways, and leading to a sort of "market failure"? These kinds of organizations are probably prone to follow-the-leader, which is something that happens in the corporate world across many specific kinds of markets, and many sports leagues are basically just corporations anyways. I happen to agree with the take that market failures may often need government correction to cut through market actors' inability and lack of motive to solve market failures.

I was under the impression that, in Judaism, "Satan" doesn't refer to the Prince of Darkness as we understand him today, but refers more to a genericized enemy/big other, as the name Satan comes from "hasatan," which means "the adversary."

I don't know if Harambe dying swung any election outcomes,
It didn't need to directly, specifically affect the election, it only needed to let the inherently-chaotic properties of meme magic do their thing on the fabric of reality.

For what it's worth, the Soviets did fish Korolev out of the gulag after WWII because they needed him...

That just sounds like Discworld's Ankh-Morpork.

I imagine the dot pattern is probably pretty hard to hack--AIUI, it was created to make tracking money counterfeiters easier, and the US government definitely takes counterfeit cash seriously.

By that same token, though, I imagine many Jewish Americans are not sure about Kamala not listening to the Free Palestine crowd.

Really? I feel like some people on the SSC subreddit said that, had it been Bernie vs. Trump, Bernie would have cleaned it up.

I suspect the Mistake Theorem for this is that wokism's flows and ebbs are on a time lag irrespective of who's President.

It's a nice vote-buying technique unless you blow it massively.
Maybe they didn't want to be accused of doing such?

You replied to the wrong comment.

I was personally just stating a hindsight assessment on what is now the old strategy, as the parent comment implied. Again, "let Biden self-destruct the Dem campaign" was actually kind of working, and Trump seemed to be somewhat dismayed at the switch.

This makes me think of Clip Art and Comic Sans, and that Brian Eno quote about the desire to replicate the flaws of old media as soon as newer media eliminates them.

In fairness, that strategy probably was working...right up until it wasn't.

Yeah, I think it started here and escalated from there.

It is strange when one thinks about it that way. I think one explanation is just "Europeans are more likely to obey cops, ergo, nobody ever dies from not following cops' orders."

I would argue that Gates became too successful to criticize. It's not even the Gates Foundation offsetting his capitalism--he just won so hard at making money that he effectively achieved social escape velocity.
If you're a leftist, what's the point of trying to take Gates down a peg? He won ages ago (in Internet reckoning, anyways), made all his money, and fucked off before politics got really heated. Windows is still fairly dominant in the PC space, Microsoft's war against the government and other OSes ended long ago, and Gates is now free to do whatever he wants.
To add onto the other replies, pronouns on the modern Internet contain much more information than the literal direct conveyance of gender identification. It's a potent nugget of information if you're willing to read between the lines...or letters, in this case.
