There's this thing where a few European countries sign a treaty, let's say agreeing not to use cluster bombs (not that they have any or were going to start using them), and then declare that the US and Israel are violating international law. High minded talk about rules based international order, etc, which seems to me to be a few countries making up rules America never agreed to and then trying to impose them onto us. A strange backwards situation in which the feeble try to tell the mighty what is allowed. At this point I roll my eyes when I see claims that America or Israel is violating international law.

So yes: I don't much believe in a rules based international order and I especially don't believe in one imposed onto us by some European countries.

I know I'm coming in hot on this one, but it is such bullshit. The Hague Invasion Act is the correct expression of our contempt.

You could block them. I haven't blocked SS, but I also don't read their screeds about the Jews.

I discuss and plan with my colleagues.

A cabal of Jews conspires.

I don't have a great point here, but headlines using hostile language that is technically valid. They aren't strictly wrong, but they didn't choose to frame this as a conspiracy by accident.

I see. But to be fair, a significant minority of white Americans are not 100% European but they're still white. If 97% or so of Argentines self identify and pass as white then I'd say that counts, despite stray native chromosomes here and there.

Also Argentina is something like 97% white. I don't know what portion of Argentine racial minorities are criminals. But I don't suppose it matters since there are almost none of them.

MeTop

The gay version of Me Too. But it is more bragging about fucking another guy than complaining about Aziz Ansari being awkward.

There's something to this. Most unmarried men, married men and married women vote Republican. Most unmarried women vote Democrat.

I see. That's not quite what Google told me, but Google is only approximately accurate.

So that means someone could become a Canadian citizen with a grand total of 3 years in Canada. Which sounds really, really low. It's five years in the US after attaining permanent residency. Which is also rather low in my opinion.

Okay. 3 years to be eligible for permanent residency and then Google says 5 more to be further eligible for citizenship. So 8 years from stepping foot in Canada to possibly getting citizenship.

I would have gone with 8 then. But they went with the time to permanent residency.

This is all sensible, except:

will not need to ask for social assistance for 3 years

3 is wildly low. If I had to make up a number I'd go for at least as long as it would take for them to qualify for citizenship. I'd start around 15 years.

very low entropy walls of text

You mean high entropy as in terrible signal to noise ratio?

Any time 50%+1 voter wants to they can repeal prop 13. Somehow these last few many decades they've declined. I don't like blaming voters from decades ago since other voters continuously chose to stick with it.

But no, it won't. At what date of Rittenhouse still being not-yet-murdered will you accept you are wrong?

Of course I accept I am wrong if he is killed at some point in the next few months.

The hell he will. What could possibly make you think this?

On reddit yes. And auto-collapses your comment. And puts it at the bottom of the thread.

But I thought we didn't have all that around here.

@Amadan am I correct to think the worst features of reddit karma are missing here? It is just a number at the Motte.

Also Hillary funded the Steele dossier and falsely reported it as legal expenses. I notice she wasn't prosecuted in criminal court for doing that.

The votes don't matter at all. They should let you toggle being able to see votes in order to prevent the emotional distress some apparently get.

Be the change you want to see: post relevant non-Trump content. Those griping Trumpers can't stop you.

I heard an audio clip with that word on the radio. So horrible when said outloud by a sycophant speaking to Kamala.

This is a problem I have with Biden. I'm not looking forward to Madame President Kamala.

I think a modern draft would be a disaster. The draft was bad in the 60s and 70s. It would be horrible today. The backlash and mass noncompliance would disgrace our nation.

Too bad we collectively expended all unpopular draft resources on fighting North Vietnam. To this day there's none left over for anything important.

Law enforcement and general government: 5%

Somewhat cynically: actual fucking governance: 5%

a defense contractor (Anduril)

Which is weird, because Anduril makes small drones that defensively destroy incoming attacking drones by flying into them. They make actual defensive drones. They don't make Predator or Reaper style drones that are full sized planed that "drone" people with missiles.
