Unfortunately it'll also produce kids that are shorter than average, which might be bad for any future sons.
Fortunately not. Filipinos are not genetically short; the nation's average height is mostly a result of malnutrition. I've got some tall cousins who attest to this (both families were short, and the European side definitely not due to malnutrition). I guess hybrid vigor is another possibility.

Sure, but there's a lot of ruin in a nation. Iran might be able to just outlast Trump and end the war with a pinkie promise to President Newsom (or AOC). Then toll the strait and nuke Tel Aviv.

Iran's "negotiations" are fake. They think Trump will be foolish enough to release the blockade on their promise for a peace deal, which will allow them to export a bunch of oil and buy themselves some time. Then they reneg and fire on ships again just like last time. Trump seems uninterested in this idea, fortunately.

I don’t see any easy solutions for this other than giving Iran concessions that are not acceptable, so this war will continue for the foreseeable future in my opinion.
Concessions won't even work, since they won't stick to their end. They're going to have to be destroyed, or they will win. Whether that can be done through attrition or is going to require actual invasion is still up in the air.

As @aldomilyar points out, the stereotypically homosexual will provide a source of "reversed" people. In addition to the butch tech-loving lesbians, a lot of the female words are about clothing or fabric, and there's a lot of gay male fashion designers. They'll probably know the flowers too.
Heterosexual female motorcycle enthusiasts might also provide some "reversed" people.

Your link is a wall of text, but this bit certainly sticks out:
Obviously, it's not slutcon's job to 'fix' any overly-pushy men. It wouldn't be possible to. But is slutcon making things better in teaching them skills, or worse in emboldening them to try in the first place?
Yeah, that's the problem: there are some men who are "overly pushy" but are also so timid that they aren't trying at all. LOL.

The war isn't about oil for the US, it's about Iran's nuclear program. Oil was just away for Iran to strike back. If non-Iranian oil is flowing and their nuclear program is stymied, Iran is losing and America is winning. Except that gas and diesel prices say that's not actually the case.
Certainly the war is not over, not until the US can reduce military presence at least back to pre-war levels without anything bad happening, said bad things including Iran shooting at merchant traffic.

Forgive me for repeating old arguments but I need to be clear about this: Trump was right about Iran and America is winning.
Gasoline and diesel prices are still up so you are wrong. Claims that this is about California shutting down refineries are false because that was not recent. Claims that this is about Ukraine blowing up Russian refineries are irrelevant because the mainstream media will not entertain them.
As for negotiation, the problem is that Iran already made a deal and then reneged. As a result, at this point it's on them to demonstrate good faith by giving up something for free. Announcing a unilateral cease fire in the Strait and actually abiding by it for a few weeks would be a reasonable one, but they won't do it.

Given an abundance of thirsty dudes, women will often reject even high quality mates. See: San Francisco.
Uh, in San Francisco, many dudes are thirsty for each other.

It's exactly that. If they want to participate in the sexual rat race, they must run the risk of, you know, actually having sex. What they seem to want, by a charitable interpretation -- to be able to participate in said race and have only sex they won't ever regret later -- is not possible to assure. What they seem to want by a less charitable interpretation -- to be able to participate in said race and then punish the men if they do regret it later -- is evil and should not be provided.

As long as there is marriage, there's always going to be some transition between being single and being married. That can be arranged marriages of some sort, but everything else is basically going to be some version of 'dating'; it's not just from the last century.

When a cop comes over to me because of what I'm wearing and demands to know why I'm in some area open to the general public, it IS authoritarian. Neither the police nor the local gangs rightfully get to decide how I dress. Obviously the local gangs don't care about "rightfully", but the police are supposed to.

The way it works is the more people vote for the AfD, the further left the ruling parties can govern, which they love. Only fails if the AfD gets an absolute majority, which isn't likely to happen (and I'm sure they have contingency plans).

Germany's just created a 2-party system, the AfD and everyone else.

This is a result of one group of people getting to decide what's right and moral. The only thing that matters is whether you agree with them. They have Decided that Trump is wrong, Israel is wrong, Palestine is right, AI must be controlled, the rich are evil, immigration is good, etc. It's hard to overstate their power -- Trump won the popular vote and yet at no point has it been acceptable to admit in polite company that you voted for him.

Is it really back door sumptuary laws to say “maybe dont wear gang colors in a gang area”?
Yes.

Whose reasonable suspicion is it? Is it a 'reasonable man' or is it someone expert in detecting suspicious / criminal activity.
The latter, according to Terry v. Ohio (the original case which established this)

No, I do not want sumptuary laws enacted through some back door

Some of those things are unavoidable, such as age.

Anarcho-tyranny can defeat even that. Your white guy goes to prison the third time some cashier fails to scan everything in his cart and he doesn't catch them. His protestations that it is not his fault fall on the judge's deaf ears. People of the proper race just walking out the door with a bunch of stuff don't get prosecuted at all and the escalation ladder doesn't matter.
Draconian law-n-order stuff just makes life worse for the people the law is meant to control, without controlling the people it wasn't controlling anyway.
Trump vetoes.
