For what it's worth, people say she was lying about working at McDonald's. She may have performatively pretended to growing up middle class and working a summer job in college, etc.

This is at least the second time you recently dropped a "3rd rate university" put down against those lowly conservatives. I think our society is far too credentialist and we should not look down on people who go to their state school. Almost no one gets into the purposefully restrictive self-described-"elite" universities. That does not put a stink on the other supermajority who went to regular colleges.
Your "3rd rate university" sneer says much more about you than about a conservative with a degree.

They did that on purpose to state that nothing ever happens. Meme joking.

There is another possible framing: many women should reevaluate their standards. The bottom 50% ugly, mean and poor women can settle for someone on their level or choose no one at all.
Like a very poor person saying they would like a car, but insisting on only a brand new Range Rover. They should instead consider options that are attainable given their circumstances.

It's not clear any company running this sort of thing can seriously prevent leaks over a long enough time for it to be relevant.
With sufficient will, they could do just this. This is a choice they actively make one way or another.

ICE agents are very disproportionately Hispanic. This was probably a whites on Hispanic and non-Hispanic whites ambush.

Sounds like the last time a John Brown Gun Club member attacked an ICE facility.

To support this possibility: the FBI has done much worse. https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/what-did-fbi-really-know-terrorist-attack-garland-texas
An FBI agent tagged along to document the mass shooting. Following in a different car and taking photos. Only because the mass-shooting-victims-to-be were armed and shot back was there not a slaughter.

There are late 19th century American military studies recommending intermediate cartridges. They even plainly spell out that higher velocity 6.x mm rounds would be deadlier at all ranges than much heavier slower rounds.
And yet it took almost a century for it to be realized.

I had an Indian coworker once comment that shoplifters in India would be beaten. Rather unlike the American response of letting them do it.

After the previous two turds I did bother watching that one. I'll give it a look.

That's a really good answer.
I suspect other factors would negate this effect. Such as selecting for self-motivated people who can afford to move and buy property. That filters out the listless and destitute. I predict a photo collage of these people vs equivalent income and age white Americans would not obviously show they are ugly losers, as comically shown in that link.
I keep inheriting MATLAB code at work. It is horrible. Can't use it in production since production computers are locked down linux machines that don't have MATLAB. I grit my teeth and do much my work in MATLAB.
BUT NOW, we have an LLM at work approved for our use. I feed it large MATLAB scripts and tell it to give me an equivalent vectorized Python script. A few seconds later I get the Python script. Functions are carried over as Python equivalents. So far 100% success rate.
This thing rocks. Brainless "turn this code into that similar code" tasks take a few seconds rather than an hour.
I had a thermodynamics issue that I vaguely remember learning about in college. I spent maybe a minute thinking up the best way to phrase the relevant question. The LLM gave me the answer and responded to my request for sources with real sources I verified. Google previously declined to show me the relevant results. I now have verified an important point and sent it and high quality sources to the relevant people at work.
It is not perfect. I had a bunch of FFTs I needed to do. Not that complicated. As a test I asked it to write me functions to FFT the input data and then to IFFT the results to recreate the original data. It made a few functions that mostly match my requirements. But as the very long code block went on it lost its way and the later functions were flawed. They were verifiable wrongly. It helpfully made an example using these functions and at a glance I saw it had to be wrong. Just a few hundred lines of code and it gets lost. Not a huge problem. Still an amazing time to results ratio. I clean up the last bit and it is acceptable.
I won't ask these things about potential Jewish bias in the BBC or anything like that. I will continue to ask for verifiable methods of finding answers to real material questions and reap the verifiably correct rewards.

I have no reason to think these people are unusually shitty looking or generally dysgenic, as though their wicked thoughts degraded their bodies. They might have that dumb Richard Spencer haircut.

Orwoll structured the community as a Private Membership Association (PMA), which limits land sales exclusively to pre-approved members
Like the original now-outlawed racial covenants.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/42/3607
Nor shall anything in this subchapter prohibit a private club not in fact open to the public, which as an incident to its primary purpose or purposes provides lodgings which it owns or operates for other than a commercial purpose, from limiting the rental or occupancy of such lodgings to its members or from giving preference to its members.
This housing is incidental to the purpose of this private group or is it the primary point? I'm not a lawyer but I suspect a judge may see through their clever ruse. This sounds suspiciously like a racial covenant by a different name.

Back in college some engineering students thought that would be better. Shave a year off of college and skip the mandatory liberal arts classes. I'm not sure how enriched I really was taking intro courses in anthropology and gender studies. I might have been better off taking more technical classes or graduating sooner. But that's admitting college is a training program for professional tech workers. Some people really don't like that thought.

almost any other group of people when they have any choice to mate with Europeans at all
Potential counter example: my white former classmates, former coworkers and current coworkers.
There aren't that many Asians in America, but they seem to be preferred by many of the white people I know. The pairings I notice far exceed any expected amount not explained by a large bias in each others favor. I also married one, so I'm not judging.
Seems like reading really deep into very little.
I know people who approximately look like this type. Aging, balding white guy with beard. I have no complaints about their looks or character.
Could use more exercise and less food. True, but also true for most Americans their age.
Agreed. I look nothing like those guys and have no complaints. Aging white guys with beards, some balding. Seems pretty typical to me. Could use more cardio, less carbs if we are going to get picky.

Is it true that an 80 hour per month work requirement for able bodied people without children to qualify for Medicaid is part of the BBB? Yes. 80 hours of work, schooling, training or volunteering. Exempted if the recipient has kids 14 years or younger.
The assertion by conservatives is that Medicare was intended for only the poorest and least fortunate among us. Whether it should be expanded to able bodied people who don't work is a political question.

The way it is framed on talk radio is those people losing healthcare are able bodied men who refuse to work and never should have been recipients of government paid healthcare. An unambiguous positive to cut them off Medicaid.

terrified of the massive increase to the ICE budget
Letting in huge numbers of illegals and false asylum claimants by the millions is practically free. Getting them back out is expensive.
The alternative is to shrug and let almost all of them stay. And then the next Democratic president lets in a few million more. Then shrug again. From the point of view of a Republican, you can guaranteed lose hard through inaction, or bite the bullet and go big in reversing the tide.
I think the Democrats will win anyways. It is too great an advantage to be able to let in millions for free.
I'm here and I'm not a racist. I'll keep chugging along.
Can we please not be reddit fixated on vote tallies?
