American genes

I'm an American. The past few generations of my family were Americans.

What on Earth is an "American gene"? I don't mean that as an obtuse "pretending I can't understand words" rhetorical trick. My ancestors are from Ireland. You mean my Irish genes were transformed into American genes? Like how most white Americans are predominantly some mix of English and German genes, now transformed into "American genes"?

the natural consequence of one's decision

"But actually there's a simple technological solution or medical treatment that negates the negative consequences."

And then people are mad as though this person is dodging the correct cosmic punishment for their sins rather than suffering as they deserve. As thought a universal justice with built in punishments for the wicked is being subverted by technological and medication advances.

Your very best and most charitable framing of your opponents is that they are crying in a womanlike manner?

I don't know if you're ignorant or simply lying to advance an agenda.

Holocaust denial is their hobby horse. They are very selectively well informed and pushing one particular agenda.

If a Frenchman has a kid with a Chinese woman, he'll be genetically more closely-related to a random French kid on the street than to his own child.

This is obviously factually untrue.

In 2018, Pope Francis revised the Catechism to state that the death penalty is "inadmissible" because it violates the dignity of the person.

Elect a Catholic, get Catholic stuff. Weird he's going to let those other three guys remain on death row. Not that I particularly care about Biden's ideological consistency.

I'm not in love with Biden doing this, but it doesn't make my top 100 list of complaints against him specifically or Democrats in general.

I've already been very clear that I'm talking about amount of shared alleles.

No you haven't. You're strictly wrong about genetics.

In contrast the English have about 88% genetic similarity with Southern Chinese

This is so obviously and enormously untrue. Orders of magnitude off from a justifiable statement. Can we start defining our terms for what counts as related or genetic closeness? People here must be using very idiosyncratic understandings of these terms in order for their posts to make any sense.

Thank you for quantitatively stating this unlike other poster's baffling and wrong subjective statements about genetic similarity. The lowest outliers of estimating the genetic similarity of humans and mice are in the mid to high 80%s. I strongly suspect that Englishmen and Asians are more closely related than humans and rodents. In what manner do you mean 88% genetic similarity? How did you type any number other than 99.9%?

As a taxpayer, child support is a defensive mechanism I rely on to not be indirectly responsible for other people's kids. Or at least a bit less than the alternative.

If there is anywhere a single mom on welfare and food stamps, I advocate the most coercive methods be applied to motivate the father to pay for that child. I'm willing to take a very narrow and permissive understanding of "cruel and unusual" in this matter.

why does the concept of white solidarity make you uncomfortable?

In common discourse, no one would say "white solidarity", they refer to this concept as "racism". I suppose most people would be uncomfortable with something they pattern match to open proud racism.

Are we damaging our international relations or putting a stop to low-life's trying to come here take 'Murican (comic book) Jerbs

If so, I am fine with this. Working on a visa that doesn't allow it? A few days in detention then deported with a ban on returning. Good riddance.

Overstaying a tourist visa to work and live in America indefinitely is a common method of illegal immigration. She's (presumably) doing the popular illegal activity of violating her visa terms.

not using SS for something useful seems a bit of a waste

Then good thing ϟecureϟignals is bringing it back and putting it to use.

And StarLink isn't performing as previously claimed, so they don't qualify for this award. I don't want awards based on mean tweeting. I am fine with denying awards for failure to deliver as promised. I hope that is the criteria being used here.

"You shouldn't get to have a decision on AI development unless you have young children"

Okay. I'm a father. Full steam ahead I say. I graciously donate my "I'm straight and have functioning sperm" vote to Sam Altman.

I work with quite a few young men. They generally have girlfriends. The older ones (let's say 30+ years old) generally have wives and own a home. A few even have children.

There's some subset of sad incels. I somehow don't personally know them. The median young man I know seems to have little despair.

I also decry murdering a jogger. No scare quotes needed on these words.

Your understanding of the distribution of opinions is wildly incorrect. You are taking the long tail of the actual distribution and declaring it the median.

"Don't kick your dog when he comes to you."

Was this a great issue of intellectual integrity for Scott? No.

Has he at long last come around to admitting the truth? Yes.

So accept him as an ally and try to resist bitterly complaining about his past conduct.

infinity low-wage legal immigration

Nah, just continuing the status quo of limited skilled immigration. And an unrelated decrease in border crossings, which I appreciate.

continued funding for Ukraine and Israel

Hell yeah.

continue the Trump corporate tax cuts


Hell yeah, but even more this time.

increased military spending to counter threats from China and Iran

We need to be able to defend ourselves. I don’t like deficit spending, but at least this has a purpose.

and Trumpian shitposts

I like internet drama. I'm looking forward to my cup overflowing soon. He mean tweeted away the Patriot Act. May he mean tweet away many other things I dislike.

I don't see how this harms my reproductive success. The presence or absence of such people is unrelated to me having kids. Unless I have children with one of them, in which case it is to my reproductive benefit.

We're missing some important point here to tie this together.

an unregulated free market privileges large corporations over workers. I assume that most of the commentariat here is already familiar with this analysis.

Familiar sure. And also understanding it is false.

is scandalous that I can't freely make, modify and distribute the myths of my people because they have been monopolized by a corporation

Corporations do not own the copyrights for old works such as myths, traditional stories or even modern 19th century works.

You can make your own Little Mermaid story. Just don't copy Disney's distinctive cartoon styling. Don't draw her with red hair and a seashell bra, or the Disney corporation's lawyers will go after you. Just make up any other possible look and styling.

but I highly doubt cats

Local law enforcement says it happened.

This is I believe both inaccurate and extremely uncharitable. Guys who fuck around are probably not mostly criminal losers.

They saw him jogging on the public street. They chased him in trucks for a bit until he got tired of running from them. When he turned on them, they killed him.

That is fairly characterized as hunting him down.

He wasn't on anyone's property. Given the private security cameras at the partway built home, we know he didn't visit there either that day.

He was jogging down the public street. Not trespassing anywhere. Maybe he had bad motivations for jogging down the street. Such as possibly taking a look at houses to remember later for burglarizing.

Given what they did, sure, you could describe it as them hunting him down.
