This tactic is not available for the vast majority of people on account of not having 100s of millions in unrealized capital gains.
Have you never heard of a reverse mortgage?

It seems like it's mostly driven by a hatred of inequality and a desire to collect one's pound of flesh.
More by a seething envy. It's really something watching people worth 10's of millions tantrum about Musk theoretically hitting a trillion.

There is good and bad in this. I honestly think a factor in Russia's last few rounds of aggression were "Kennedy School term paper" thinking, spoken out loud by Obama and Biden. Having an opponent clearly lay out their priorities, thinking, and risk tolerance gives you a powerful amount of information that just doesn't exist with Trump, especially if he's weaponizing leaks like the Tucker Carlson thing.

Per his other post, it's anonymous sources in the NYT. So, disreputable propaganda from known liars.

Pakistani and regional officials familiar with the ongoing negotiations. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
This is why discussing this seems premature. It's just going to be people listing their pre-announcement beliefs. Wait and see.

I did like the most recent one. It actually had a time frame longer than the weekend. There was a lot of narrative admin work that needed to be done, and I felt like it did it well.

Thrown batteries make little noise. My dad and daughter make much more yelling at the Phillies.

FWIW, I didn't think you were being super woke, so much as rolling your eyes at a MAGA type of narrative (which did end up being largely correct, natch). Like I insinuated in the last post, I think it was some unfortunate phrasing.

I remember that post. That was basically the implication I took from what you said. It seemed to be condescendingly dismissive towards the people believing the take that ended up being vindicated, and psychologizing them as holding that take because they were mysognist, racist losers.
Rereading it now, the "females" part strikes me as less clear, and possibly a dig at the people thinking the girls were just terrible feral youth, but I think phrasing it as "females" made me interpret it as sarcasm directed at the right-coded people on the Braveheart side, because I didn't think you would use that kind of language sincerely.

(who themselves are after all only part Indian, many are much lighter skinned than the average actual Indian).
Still a bit of an assimilation horror story, innit?

I'd take the fascists because their bloodlust might be theoretically slaked, eventually. The communists hate themselves, and so will never be satisfied with the size of their skull mountain.

The video shows Nowak calling Digwa a "bad man" repeatedly while filming him shortly before the murder, and continuing to do so when Digwa is walking away from him.
If that exact scene were put into a Sopranos style prestige drama, the point of the scene would be to show that the murderer was an unhinged psycho with a pathetic, brittle ego and "random encounter" levels of impulse control.

AIUI, "bad man" is Brit slang equivalent to "gangster". Asking someone "What are you, a gangster?" after an interaction has already begun is not a proper insult, especially when they say "Yes, I am".

I don't think "one man insults another man,
Even calling it an insult seems unreasonably charitable to Digwa's otherwise made-up and evil version of events.

Has anyone in the West ever actually voted for mass immigration? It seems instead like no population ever wants mass immigration, but whoever they vote for it happens anyway.

Most of the criticism I see of the former Mrs. Bezos is centered around her use of the money. It's not even that she isn't being economically productive with it, she's splurging enormous fortunes on actively anti-social leftist nonsense.

It's just progressives. They have to violently flinch from the E-word because if they don't then the technocratic element of their ideology inevitably flows into "LMAO we are so obviously the baddies" territory. Many progressives were very pro-eugenics pre-WW2, to the point where some of their organization leaders openly bragged in the 30's about how wonderful it was that a European nation had a strong leader who was taking their obviously correct ideas seriously.

My theory was always that he was going in the opposite direction, and going to do a "White Walkers win" ending to shit on Tolkien's optimism and faith. "AKSHUALLY, people don't just come together after a hatefully bitter civil war. They just die."
And that's a thing you can do when you're writing a "Top 100 most popular current fantasy series", where the grim ending is what makes a splash, but now that Game of Thrones broke containment and is world-renowned to normies, he doesn't have the balls to eat the backlash.

It only takes a few nonconsensual, or even just iffy, uploads to make allowing that a liability. And the stepsisters are usually engaged in such deliberately atrocious acting that even a moron could understand it's play.

Well, that certainly makes fraud easier. Don't need to worry about making your fake batches seem even remotely plausible.

At the extreme end, zero-covid loons would all vote by mail and would be overwhelmingly far-left. Very-online far-left agoraphobes would also exclusively vote by mail, which is not true of very-online far-right types (who wouldn’t trust it). More relevantly, far-left PMC types who can’t be bothered to go out to a polling station are more likely to vote by mail. Same for boomer-lib retiree types.
Every one of these types sounds like someone who would have had their ballot in the mail weeks ago. I mean, really, we're thinking the HR highlighter girls are just "whoops, three weeks past due" on voting?

AIUI, this latest round was from the NYT, and they have been accused of actively trying to sabotage the scandal-mongering, e.g. misleading the women in the story about what would be included and leaving out a bunch of details and evidence.
Which isn't a bad play, tactically.
Because even taking all of that impotent screed as a given, he still outperforms pretty much all of the rest of our expert class.
How much more pathetic are the rest of them then?
How much sillier a joke the other nations of the world?
