why would the drone/AI know the specific location of the operator or the "communication tower" t
Given how much EW is going on, you'd want to use directional transmission, no ? So locations of transmitters that whose orders it's supposed to check would be something an autonomous drone would keep track of, I believe.

It means something, and not anything good.
NR is now a byword for Conservative, Inc grift.
They're hated not just by the base. They live almost entirely within the moral framework set up by their enemies, which means they cannot possibly succeed.

I'm not Jewish and I think eugenics is bonkers and evil.
You believe the concept itself is evil, or are you just quibbling about the particular method?
Embryo selection- bad too ?
How about cloning exceptional people. Bad ? Why?
How about encouraging women for whom pregnancy is uncomplicated to have a 3rd, 4th child via IVF, based on some very good sperm ? Why is that 'evil' ?
Ignoring the race issue, I was very impressed overall.
Was it just that ?
Goldberry in the books:
"slender as a willow-wand"
"while Goldberry busied herself about the table; and their eyes followed her, for the slender grace of her movement filled them with quiet delight."
"‘He is,’ said Goldberry, staying her swift movements and smiling."
Meanwhile, the included image shows her card from the new set.

modern white people are vestigial hangers on who have perverted the thing that Tolkien wanted to embellish and preserve until it became a crude mockery of itself
If 'modern white people' are perverting so many things, why are you laying into them for trying to at least leave Tolkien unmolested ?
If, in your view, for once they're trying to do something good (assuming conserving being the opposite of perverting), yet you still attack them.
I have a hard time understanding your motives here.
Do you really believe critical theory is essentially white and was willed into existence collectively, and that it wasn't a deliberate, radical move designed to subvert the western bourgeois culture and customs ?
whites can't claim that the butchering that has been going on affects them any more than it affects black people,
Can you provide any example of 'black culture' that has been re-written or remade to be palatable for modern sensibilities ? I honestly have a hard time thinking of any black writer apart from Octavia Butler.

Zuma's presidency was, as far as I understand, pretty terrible and corrupt, and the same party remains in power.
Do you think Germans would have elected for themselves someone as grotesquely corrupt and dim as Zuma ?
We know from America that highly black places routinely elect from their own ranks very bad leaders.
I don't believe you can separate the two easily.

white/Chinese San Francisco went into a tailspin by electing terrible leaders who wrecked
People who're incredibly well insulated from consequences by virtue of having so, so much money used to be rather rare in our past.
Demographics will not save you.
Are you truly implying governance quality in predominantly black and predominantly white counties in the US is in the same ballpark re: corruption, competence etc?

but certainly screwed up Germany royally.
I mean, was it not pretty much "give me liberty or give me death"?
The trajectory of history - Europe ending up dominated by economically stronger powers of US and Russia was fairly obvious.
Unifying Europe and destroying communism by the only method possible at the time was the logical, if risky countermove.

I never said a single thing about utopia.
That white people can screw up is well known, but with whites, it's the complete screw-ups (Argentina, Russia isn't really a true example as Ukraine, which started from a slightly higher base is worse off) are the exceptions. Moderate screw ups abound though.

Yeah. 'pleasantly plump' is somewhere around US average female weight. May not be any noticeable health effects if someone's slightly careful and active, not an overly big hindrance on daily activities. If the woman is lucky and has an hourglass figure, a non-depressing amount of men (~30%) will still be interested.
This is 100 lbs over that.

BAP is almost certainly attracted to men.
actual intelligentsia of the alt-right
There's no alt-right worthy of thinking or worrying about.
You should instead be worrying about the 'sensible center'.

There's no "center" at all and anyone calling themselves the "sensible center" is almost certainly in lockstep with the media (probably NPR in particular).
It was a name very successfully used by Blair in his radical remaking of British legislation and thus culture, and it's being enthusiastically advocated by world's no.1 Blair fan, Neema Parvini.
Like with everything else in politics, it doesn't mean what people think it means, and that's by design.

Because Spencer fucked up and is now completely irrelevant.

Being "blacked" is more degrading than the aforementioned activities?
I've never been interested in this genre, but my impression based on ads and such 'blacked' as in the porn genre involves all of that. Plus, you know, the blacks themselves.

True homosexuality is probably not a choice, but homosexual behavior as a kink (a solid part of what's called 'bisexuality' is likely caused by abuse.
Odds of bisexuals reporting CSA are way higher than for straights.
Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) occurs in all cultures and societies (Pereda, Guilera, Forns, & Gómez-Benito, 2009; Stoltenborgh, van Ijzendoorn, Euser, & Bakermans-Kranenburg, 2011). In addition, although not all research has demonstrated that the prevalence of CSA among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals is substantially higher than it is in heterosexual populations (Brennan, Hellerstedt, Ross, & Welles, 2007; Meston, Heiman, & Trapnell, 1999), higher prevalence of CSA among nonheterosexual individuals has been revealed in participants from the United States (e.g., Balsam, Rothblum, & Beauchaine, 2005), Canada (e.g., Saewyc, Pettingell, & Skay, 2004), and Australia (e.g., Zietsch et al., 2012), as well as in studies using the retrospective methods (e.g., Hughes et al., 2010), prospective methods (e.g., Wilson & Widom, 2010), and meta-analysis (e.g., Friedman et al., 2011). Moreover, empirical investigations aimed to determine the chronology of CSA and nonheterosexual orientation in adulthood are limited. Thus, the objective of the present study was to explore whether nonheterosexual orientation increases the risk of CSA by adding the variable of childhood gender nonconformity (CGNC) and applying the instrumental variable method.

I remember seeing mentions of it in literature and such and I always thought it was just kids playing pretend.
Then I read about a paper that claimed when kids with such were stuck in a NMR reported talking to their imaginary friends, it looks like they're having auditory hallucinations.
Which surprised me.

If he does the minimum research required, he could train up a lot of gas.
It doesn't take years to do so.
'Better than the alternative' is not the same thing as 'popular'.
Nazi leadership were low-class outsiders who weren't at all sympathetic to traditional german elites.
