Ditching Ukraine would cost the US the affection of a big chunk of the European political class
Do we have such a thing to lose in the first place? As a Euroskeptic, what would you point at to convince me that Europe's political class has meaningful affection for America? AFAICT they don't even like themselves.

No, it's broken containment. I've heard my son's friends call things "goyslop". They have absolutely no idea where the term comes from or what it was supposed to mean.

in cases of mutual inebriation, the party initiating each sexual escalation is held at fault for the ensuing consent violation.
So, in a culture where men are expected to "make a move", every single man at Cornell who has ever done so after having a beer is a rapist?
limp drug-addled girl
Assumes facts not in evidence. Per her original statement to the police and the context of messages sent about the event afterwards, the only person who performed a sex act on a "limp, drug-addled" person was her, when she performed fellatio on a man who was unconcious. AIUI, he actually filed a claim against her and was roundly ignored by the university.
She also purportedly told the men she was sober. One of the men says that in one of the text messages, something like "You told me you hadn't been drinking", and she does not appear to dispute the statement. Relatedly, the bar she is sueing for allowing her to drink irresponsibly claims she was not served alcohol at all that night.
There are also texts from her talking about how some of the men were "out of it", and her statement of providing care at the end of the night when they were passing out and dry-heaving.
I'm actually impressed that it sounds like the girl was going to be a good sport, assume the (considerably)damages and not tell on them, until they broke good-faith by bragging about it on forums.
I have not seen anything suggesting that, but I did stop reading the articles a while ago. AIUI, the "damages" were social in nature and coming from her own sorority and the breaking incident was when the fraternity president banned her from the Halloween party at the instigation of her sorority leader. That was when she flipped from "Nothing that happened was illegal, everyone else is jealous, our body our choice, love you kings" to "90% of what happened that night was non-consensual".

Was he just trying to manipulate people into not voting for Trump? Or did he really believe what he said? He's either a shameless liar or a person with no fundamental understanding of the world.
Yes.

Never heard of this concept of "diaspora literature" before. Is this just an Asian thing, or can any "foreign" group write it?
In modern contexts, it usually implies Asian diaspora, specifically Asian women who write the same book about family trauma and dating white men.

Arguably this could be a result of more excitement and attention over the election.
Attention and excitement resulting in something like a 10% swing in favor the the incumbant after just giving the opposition party supermajorities in both legislatures 20 days before?
What do you think happened in those 20 days that caused such a massive swing?
On an unrelated note, Judge Voldemort has already demanded Bolsonaro the Younger surrender his passport to keep him from "fleeing". I can't wait to hear all the norms-enjoyers have a very principled crashout about that.

Saw numbers that Lula's increase from the first round is more than the total number of votes cast for every other candidate that was eliminated in the first round. On top of Bolsonaro gaining a modest increase in total votes. So yeah, apparently over 100% compared to the last round of "mandatory" voting.

That was just pointless pettiness. You could do the same thing with better deniability just by playing games with permits or construction timing. Even worse, it backfired a millionfold. It's been too long to remember the specifics, but there were stats being thrown around like "Network news spent more time talking about BridgeGate in a single day than they did Obama's IRS targeting scandal ever."

2016: Very lazily worded wish that Donald Trump would be the Republican nominee and "lose the vote".
2024: Very precisely worded wish that Donald Trump would be "shot in the head".

What stops men from writing stories where they're already wonderful and people just don't realize it?
This is called "OP MC aurafarming slop". It's very popular in niche online publishing.

The specific baby issue he's talking about is much less of a thing for boys. Their secondary orifice that you really want to make sure isn't getting feces in it is much smaller and more removed from the primary expulsion orifice.

I'm pretty sure the steelman, such as it is, if we're going to stoop to calling it that, is "We got the attack in first, playing defense about specific facts and credibility is a suckers game."
See, for reference, the Cornell rape case.

The best thing about Project 2025 was that absolutely no one read it, so you could just say it had anything in it and people would believe or reject on pure tribalism.

propaganda
in order to discredit them.
Are you claiming that the actual beliefs of real trans advocacy organizations are propaganda lies meant to discredit them, comparable to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion?
Do you really not get the distinction people are drawing here?

this is often genuinely a cover for a veiled accusation that the activists are only telling kids to transition because they get some perverse sexual thrill from doing so, or even because they want to physically molest the kids they initiate.
Not necessarily sexual. Back when LibsofTikTok was just posting videos of libs talking to their own kind, there was a recurring archetype that I'll roughly sketch. Imagine a woman in her late 20's. She has a degree in education, a boring real life and a rich inner life. She posts videos talking about making her classroom a safe space, and a mild cynic could easily come to the conclusion that she really, really wants that experience of the "safe space" being necessary. That she believes that "school" is the setting for a drama anthology in which she is the main character, guiding and saving 22-26 desperate young people per year from repressive, intolerant, conservative parents.
The thing is, there just aren't that many gay kids. In a class of 20, she'll have maybe 2, and the odds of a terrible dramatic confrontation with the family where they have to seek help from their favorite English teacher that comes to a head in exactly that year is much, much smaller. How often can that really happen? Thrice in a career seems like a high estimate.
And yet a lot of teachers seem to be hyped as fuck at any hint that they get to do a big dramatic Very Special Episode type shit, just like the movies. That's why they got into teaching you know, and not because they're a lower-midwit who was afraid to leave a comfortable environment.
Objectively speaking, there are millions of teachers and only a few who post videos on TikTok giving the impression that if there aren't enough dramatically crying trans kids then they'll make them, but there are enough for a Twitter account to find a few every week for a year and make the meme well known.

Florida seems to collect those property taxes and then disburse them back to the local governments. The state itself seems to be doing very well, fiscally. $3.8bn budget surplus, paying off debt ahead of schedule, well funded Rainy Day Fund. They also seem to get most property tax revenue from rental properties and second homes, which don't get the homestead exemption.
Might be they actually can just eat the loss in revenue to reward the people who actually live there. Perks of a competent government.

Thoroughlygruntled mentioned the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight. I actually bought the PPV for that one and had people over for it.
Holy shit, what a boring disappointment.
I've never been into boxing. I used to watch UFC, in a "get drunk with the boys on Friday night" kind of way. They were fun. They were exciting. There was passion. I remember one, can't remember the fighters, but it was two big strikers slugging it out, literally clapping for each other after getting rocked in the face. Just sheer love of the game. The worst of those fights was more exciting than watching Mayweather's extremely technical, pointsmaxxing "I take a Full Defense" every single round.
Based on that limited sample size, I think the problem may be more of an increase in skill and strategy, at the cost of heart and valor.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) belongs to an "all white + jews" club. He's very serious about systemic racism, but he just keeps forgetting to check and see if the private, exclusive club he belongs to has admitted any brown people yet. Stop snickering. It's [D]ifferent.

Yep. I explained the thing where 98% of women who go to the hospital because they were slipped a roofie have no unknown drug elements in their tests. They just drank too much. At her body weight, 6 shots is enough to put my daughter into blackout territory. She absolutely cannot hang with her 200lb guy friends who drink much more often than she does.
This is absolutely not a free claim. Every other leftist advancement into healthcare to "help" Americans has made the industry worse. I'd rather not spend money on Israel, but that's functionally benign compared to anything a figure like El Sayed would do with the money.
