Given the demographics of Hasidic and non-Hasidic American Jews, a percentage that will increase in the future.

"The fundamental power balance in this war is that Russia could obliterate the entirety of Ukraine in under an hour and still have plenty of nukes left to raze Europe and North America if they intervene." True, but Ukraine could likely kill much of the Russian population. Ukrainian scientists worked alongside Russian scientists in Soviet biological and nuclear weapons programs. Good chance that Ukraine has working nuclear weapons, and it either has or could easier get working biological weapons.

My strategy: Get $5 billion. Get a pliable Haitian frontman. Hire lots of non-white mercenaries who act as the army of my frontman. The mercenaries will know that I pay them. The mercenaries take over increasing amounts of territory. People in my territory get free cheap food. Expand. The frontman says his highest priorities will be whatever earns him the most praise from the New York Times so stuff about the environment, marginalized Haitians, and ending the horrible legacy of Donald Trump's influence on Haiti. Have a second frontman ready to take over if the first ever shows too much independence.

Establishment Republicans will want Trump to remain banned, and Musk might want them to do well.

Revealing the source would reveal my identity. Ukraine was a fully trusted member of the Soviet Union and had lots of smart scientists. Ukraine has currently working nuclear power plants. Ukraine was preparing for a Russian attack. Don't you think it likely that Ukraine has a few nuclear weapons? If nothing else, the Soviets were bad at keeping track of stuff and so probably didn't manage to remove all the nuclear weapons from Ukraine when the Soviet Union broke up.

But Elon is going to care a lot more about Mitch McConnell than Trump's fan base. At a minimum, I suspect Trump stays banned until after the midterms.

This theory predicts that young people are well to the right of senior citizens.
Tips (perhaps out of date) for dating leftist women while conservative and male: Treat your beliefs like a peacock's tail. Try your best to signal that you can afford to have these beliefs because of your huge evolutionary fitness advantage over other men. Don't show any embarrassment, your goal should be projecting the view that "I know you find my politics abhorrent, but I'm not going to hide my views because I'm confident that if you get to know me you will really want to date me, and if you don't, well, I have lots of options." Being a conservative white man, surprisingly, gives you a real advantage when trying to date a leftist non-white woman because these women are sick of white men trying to date them to prove their anti-racism, and won't think you guilty of this offense.

As you get older, you become very aware of your own growing fragility.

“Get a decent career and make money.”- Doesn’t work in a world where women make up the majority of college graduates.
It's better advice than ever if college educated women mostly want to date college educated men. It's women who don't get dating market value from going to college.

Yes, although you would expect the most successful firms (like Amazon) to be one ones that have done the best to mitigate principal-agent problems.

When I use YouTube at work I get constantly shown ads, but when I use YouTube at home I'm almost never shown ads. Why the difference? I'm logged into the same account on both.

Yes, that's probably it. Thanks. I feel silly for not realizing this.

Ukraine has to be the number one suspect. Ukraine is at war with Russia and blowing up infrastructure is what you do in war.

Ukraine used to be part of the Soviet Union and has lots of highly capable military people. Also, my impression is that the attack was within the capacity of a few people with diving experience who had access to explosives.

But the race-bait makes a lot of "Strong" sense given plot and the difference between reading and watching.
Warning Spoilers: Who the real father of the king's daughter's children is and appears to be is a key plot point. In the show the real father is white, while the guy who is supposed to be the father is black so it's extremely obvious to everyone what is going on. The king ignoring what is going on makes him either a fool or someone playing a deep game where pretending can make something real if you are the king. While I haven't read the book, someone who has says that in the book both men are white and people infer what is going on from less obvious phenotypical features. Mathematically, the race change makes its 99.99% likely in the show that the kids are bastards but, say, 95% likely in the books and the plot of the show does reflect this extra 4.99% likelihood. The race change also makes it extremely salient to we the viewers that the kids are bastards.

One powergirrrrrrl moment where a girl attacked by an animal survives without injury in a situation where she probably shouldn't have.
Nearly everyone dislikes competition and uses every available tool to squash it. It's unsurprising that some artists attempt to use woke politics to stop categories of other artists from competing with them. White people shouldn't make films about Muslims, trans women shouldn't compete in women's sports, China engages in unfair trade practices that cost American jobs, and she stole my boyfriend by being a slut are all related complaints.

No one is mad at Apple because I can say horrible things over my iPhone, nor is anyone bothered that the company that made my pen put in absolutely no safeguards against the pen being used to draw racist art. It could be that Microsoft predicts it won't be held responsible for any racist art its product is used to create.

We could have a voting system where voting fraud is hard to commit and those who are caught trying face significant punishment. In this system, for example, if we find that 99% of people in several nursing homes voted even though dementia rates in these nursing homes should have made such high voting rates impossible, the FBI and elite media consider figuring out who committed this voting fraud to be a top priority.

I literally could sue you for a trillion dollars for your failure in this post to acknowledge my greatness. Winning a trillion dollar judgement and then actually getting you to pay me this amount would be harder.
Keep in mind that nuclear firepower is likely Russia's second most destructive class of weapons, behind biologicals.
