Military service members having a guaranteed income that massively increases upon marriage seems pretty directly relevant to the marriage question, especially given their female class peers' poor economic prospects.

Our civic norms under a diadochic presidency... will the mos maiorum actually deteriorate? The 60's were bad, but, I mean, we, you know, survived.

It's worth noting that neither of those Empires looked like a powder keg ten years before they detonated.

??? No, the left's wins on Israeli immigration policy have tended to be recognizing as valid Jewish ethnic groups those with sketchier claims, conversions have pretty consistently been very difficult.

Thanks, this is almost exactly what I’m looking for. There’s no shortage of information on ‘how to get a gun in Germany’ freely available on the internet- the experience of actually doing it is less represented.

Almost every range has A Policy on ammo, and enforcement varies. Generally steel case ammunition is on the no no list, tracers are flat banned and will get you banned from that range, and some ranges don't like FMJ.

In practice, this almost certainly looks like lots of mid-levels and generic drugs, so @throwaway05- what does that look like? More unnecessary tests, probably, but are generic drugs worse than name brand often enough to matter?

‘Bloody’ is supposedly the descendent of a minced oath for ‘by Our Lady’. I don’t know if it’s true or not.

Most Americans would be familiar with that use of ‘bugger’, although it sounds like an old person, or ‘to pull’ in that sense. Slag sounds like a British insult for a loose woman, but I didn’t already know it, and I’ve definitely heard ‘spunk’ used as a noun for the same term in American English, but not a verb.

There is lots of immigration into Israël, and ‘who counts as Jewish’ is a thorny question that the left has taken W’s on in the past.

Ironically, the use of archery is itself assimilating- the aborigines didn’t have it until introduced by Europeans.

This is the Israeli equivalent of a rural interest party, is my understanding- they’ll coalition with anyone as long as they get their way, but that don’t make em left wing- even when that coalition is with labour. They’re also not pacifist, they just don’t want to personally fight.

The genus Canis is such a taxonomic mess that almost everything about its classification is almost certainly wrong, though.

I don’t see how British colonization made the aboriginals horrifically violent and rapey to eachother but Ireland remains fine despite centuries of colonization and harsh treatment
Aboriginals being the most savage primitives in the world may well be true(although they have some competition). But as our resident ‘some cultures just suck’ enthusiast, this may not be entirely generic- do aborigines adopted by white families have similar incarceration rates?
You can be ruggedly masculine and kind and gentle and loyal to women(or, as we would like to encourage, one woman). The black idea of rugged masculinity doesn't happen to line up with that, of course, but it's not like ideas that do line up with that have never existed. Chivalry is pretty clearly an example, for example- knights were supposed to be good at fighting first and foremost, and treat women well, and spend their free time hunting, and the courtly graces were often things very directly relevant to being a knight(the dancing that they're expected to do originated as practicing footwork for swordsmanship).
