My source is my recollection of either the weekly B&R megathread from the last 18 hours or the dedicated boxer thread. My recollection is that the sourcing bottoms out somewhere reasonably reliable.

Very interesting, but Russia seems much weaker now than in 2022. Heavily sanctioned, big stagflation, and fielding laughable armor deployments and infantry tactics. Quads, donkeys, motorcycles, and "camels". We've been assured that the 3 day Special Military Operation is still going according to plan. They've evacuated Syria, Wagner is a shadow of its former self, and are they still conscripting and fielding prisoners or is that well too running dry?
If Russia was going to roll into Poland, what do you think that force composition looks like?

Taboo the word hate, sheesh. I'm with the Count, here. The word is inappropriate for the feelings being expressed; hyperbolic and histrionic, as expected from one side of the divide.

Why calling Trump ‘weird’ is freaking Republicans out
Democrats have started pointing out just how strange the former president and his ilk really are. Ryan Coogan explains why this could be the thing that finally gets under his skin – and might help win Kamala Harris the White House
Pure cope and seethe

Necro alert!
Indeed it's a well documented fact that fascists, liberals and communists all think the other two are basically identical.
This is hilarious and too true. Saving for future reference.

We Care A Lot by Faith No More, before Chuck Mosley was replaced by Mike Patton as lead singer. I didn't realize until now there was a pre-Patton era.
I was vaguely familiar with the song, mostly encountering it in the 1990s, and I only watched the video just now. At first, I thought it was a parody of crusty PCU-type bands, but then I realized Jon Favreau likely based some of his parodic character on this type of genuine, authentic expression.
But is it genuine? The song is satire, again venturing into PCU (the movie with Jeremy Piven and Jon Favreau, Politically Correct University) territory. We care a lot about killer bees and saving the whales. You can hear the sneering disrespect in Mosley's voice.
We're closing the 2014 decade this year, 2014 being the crux of woke takeover. This video seems relevant, and I'm still trying to figure out if the visual elements are genuine or parodic. White dudes in dreads playing Flying V guitars...

Anyway, looking him up, I found a recent article he wrote entitled It All Comes Down to Race. I read it carefully, twice, and I'd like to engage this community because I don't know any other place where this can be critically discussed.
You aren't aware of anywhere else on the internet that allows criticism of white nationalism? Seems fishy...

don't think there is any reason to believe that being a "male feminist" says much at all about how likely any particular man is to be a sex pest.
Sure, but the vast, vast majority of muslims are not terrorists, yet most terrorists who fly airplanes into buildings are muslim. Most male feminists are not sex pests, but many sex pests turn out, ironically, to be male feminists. There may be some kind of cluster that is worth examining.

May Trump supporters and Trump voters and Trump himself never know peace.
Is this not a straightforward call for violence? I find this manner of speaking despicable in public, and I'd want an apology if I was her target.

To have a volunteer for a foreign army as the Vice President, a heartbeat from the presidency as they say, seems unconscionable to me, particularly a volunteer for an army that is at the center of violence which is currently bringing the region to the brink.
How misleading is this? Was Shapiro a member of the IDF? Another commenter suggested this was a school project, when Shapiro was a student, that created some benefit the IDF enjoyed. Can you clarify what you mean in the above paragraph?

As a somewhat reformed Angry Internet Atheist, this is certainly the most interesting and palatable form of Christianity I've encountered.

This is not exactly the same as: I am clued in, turned on, and working hard. I imagine there was a week to respond "Yes", but it's different when asked for details on a short deadline. It sends a different signal.

Men do, women are, so men naturally assume that when you ask them this, you're asking them to apply the woman's label. Unless you're a man predisposed to Gayness (which forms part of the problem with Gays, from the average man's perspective), that is inaccurate, insulting, and outright dangerous.
I think there is something interesting here but I can't figure out any of this. Can you clarify?

The argument is that Khelif is a male with a DSD; XY chromosome and male testosterone levels. Due to the DSD, he was raised as a girl, but this should not imply he ought to compete in competitions reserved for women.
The presence or lack of an external male sex organ is relevant to his DSD but not his competitive classification.
That's the argument you should engage with.

I was hoping the American Grand Strategy in Ukraine was to bleed Russia dry, at the expense of Ukraine. I think it has basically worked, as beyond WMD, I think Russia has very little in their arsenal to threaten the West with. I am surprised, however, by the turn of events where Trump accuses Ukraine of having started the Russian invasion. My hope remains that Trump is playing 4D chess with Putin, softening him up for a triumphant blow, but my hope wavers. It seems clear that Ukraine would be a much more likely and loyal ally than Russia could ever be.
In my view, here are the American interests in the region:
- A greatly weakened Russia
- Ukrainian mineral rights
- Opposing invasions and annexations
- Additional and stronger allies and spheres of influence
American fears:
- WMD in the wrong hands (Russian collapse, or scared Putin)
- Emboldened Russia
- China / Taiwan
The Biden strategy seemed pretty reasonable if tepid in light of these points. I'm not sure what Trump would think of the above.

I'm referring to Putin's statements after the disaster at Hostomel and the decimation of the armor columns rolling towards Kiev in the first few days of the war.
Here is a video analysis of the SMO in that regard:

I have zero knowledge, evidence, or stake in the sex pest claim. Just wanted to point out the logical inconsistency that I saw in your claim.
That is, having the knowledge of "male feminist" would (indeed) give very little indication of "sex pest", even if it is true that the vast majority of sex pests turn out to be male feminists.
Thus, the fact of very little indication, which we both agree on, weighs very little on the OP's claim.
An eye for an eye...
