Credit bureaus are as a rule run by the critically retarded.
You should probably just set up a recurring payment (e.g. your Internet bill) on the card.

But finance is directly responsible for issuing credit
You are aware that mortgages are propped up by Fannie and Freddie, correct?
If they provide more credit, prices will rise! They are creating money when they extend loans.
This is probably true in the narrow sense of price to income but it's not true in the sense that people care about (monthly payment to income). In either case, it's quite clear that mortgages have existed in the modern form, with some changes in interest rates within certain bounds, for nearly 100 years and can't possibly explain the housing crisis. Getting rid of mortgages would have a one time price cut and then you're back on the old trend line.

Well, you see...
When Kahane wasn’t condemning normie Zionists for having contempt for the Arabs, he liked to call them dogs. Not the most original metaphor, but vivid enough, so let’s run with it. Imagine a dog, not a Pitbull (that’s racist), but a Belgian Shepherd or similar. We observe one person who tries to reason with the dog, discusses with him the categorical imperative, and performs random unsolicited acts of kindness to appeal to its better nature. Another, swarthier person enters, perplexed at this cringe European, and pushes him to the side. He takes a good long look at the dog, walks over and kicks it square in the nuts, returning to high-five his friends. Rinse and repeat for three decades. Who is surprised that the dog is deranged?
What you do with a dog, obviously, is you train it. You don’t respond to its barks and snarls by getting down on all fours and barking back because ‘this is the yard’ and that’s what is done here. How do you train the dog? Well, go find someone who’s good at it, and ask him.
You don't have to be a pacifist just because you're not doing pointless chimpouts, is what he's trying to say.

In the Middle East, you don’t win with measured responses and restraint—you need to go berserk. To obliterate. To crush the terror.
I wish we could stop it with the "this is the middle east'. Just stop it.
The first great test of the Revisionist’s claim to understand the Arab came with the Western Wall controversy, of 1928-29. That Jews could use the area for prayer was established by long precedent, repeatedly affirmed by the Ottomans in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fanatic madman, Hajj Amin Al Husseini, was trying to use the wall as a wedge issue in his campaign to cement control over the Arab community, and, like the rightoid shithead he was, pursued a dual strategy of provoking and funding violence against Jewish worshippers, whilst also spreading rumours of Jewish intentions to take over the Temple Mount among the Arab public. The Zionist leadership was trying, with mixed success, to handle the issue through a mixture of appeals to the British administrators, and domestic and international hasbara campaigns.
That’s cucked and bugman, though, and so, tired of Jewsniping impotently from the sidelines for a year, the Revisionists decided it was time for them to step in. In order to demonstrate their enormous understanding of Arab psychology, they unveiled a truly brilliant and strategically adroit plan, so cunning in its methods and delicate in its design that it could not fail to win the day. They would - get this! - organize a gang of oafs to march to the wall and shout stuff. This would ‘assert Jewish pride’ and ‘demonstrate resolve’ and ‘show that Jews are not victims’ and other important goals of
RetardRevisionist Zionism. That it happened to be precisely what Hajj Amin Al Husseini had been trying to engineer the whole time was but a minor detail. When you truly understand that Arab mind like a Right Wing Zionist does, you don’t even have to game out his plans.
Fast forward a few months, of course, and there were riots all over Palestine, and over 100 Jews were dead, many of them murdered in appallingly bestial fashion. To cap matters off, after imposing their Iron Wall on the Arab rioters, the British authorities decided it was time to review the policy of open Jewish immigration, with the Hope Simpson Enquiry paving the road to the White Paper, and ensuring the doors of the Holy Land were slammed shut just in time for the Holocaust. Great job, knobhead. But when YOU HAVE SUCH AN INCREDIBLY GREAT GRASP OF ARAB PSYCHOLOGY, you don’t have to say sorry. You just blow up a hotel or whatever.
...
The truth is that the Middle East is a mess because it is full of people whose thought process extends to ‘but this is the Middle East’ and then respond to real or perceived disrespect by chimping out, then cry when other people chimp back. Those Middle Eastern countries that have managed to turn lemons into a measure of lemonade don’t do it by inciting their dumbest and most violent people to start provoking everyone around them. They do it by taking out Pakistani generals on loan to kill them.

That's the thing though, no doctor has explained to me why it's over for things like radical bone thickness changes.
I'm not a doctor, but I bet an LLM could answer most of your questions around this.

Thanks. House prices mostly only go up. A correction highly relevant to my point.

Women don't even want men, that's part of the problem. Romantasy in all its easily available varieties, 'love is love so nobody can kink-shame you', and real life relationships being tough because there's another human being with their own wants, needs, and desires in the mix who isn't there just to blow cash on you and dump huge bovine loads, means that sticking with the stimulation you accessed first at age ten and which warped your emerging sexuality into this particular mould is the siren song drawing them away from marriage and motherhood.
Why is this wrong, or wronger than what you wrote?

But safe returns can also be found in 'house prices up only!' lending, which directly undermines the demographic sustainability of civilization and transfers wealth from young to old.
Housing prices only go up thanks to government policy. You can't really blame the finance industry for that.

Gratify male sexuality, be classed as degraded female only good for One Thing (and that's not marriage and children).
Surely his mother can't be concerned that those women gratifying his sexuality affects how he classifies his mother.
Why not?
Because boys don't see their mothers as only good for One Thing, even if they do realize that their parents have, or at least had, sex. It would be difficult I'm confused why this isn't obvious.
If he had to think of his mother in the context of a sexual being, that would be uncomfortable.
Well, yes.

I'm pretty sure it's over for your wrist size at 23. Maybe there's some Chinese research chemical I'm not aware of, but I'm skeptical.
The good news is that you can still play sports and meet women as a wristlet. The bad (?) news is that if you aren't already performing at a high level you're unlikely to be held back by your wrists in sport.

Sometimes the partial toleration of native criminal gangs can reduce the influence of foreign criminal gangs, like the way probiotic bacteria outcompete dangerous bacteria for nutrients.
Indeed, there's actually an even bigger native gang in Japan than the Yakuza that runs a protection racket over the entire home islands.

The MOU is implemented when it's signed. Don't confuse what happens when the "deal" is reached vs MoU signing.

The money and sanctions and aid are contingent on a round credibly abandoning their nuclear aims.
Incorrect.
The United States of America undertakes that immediately upon the signing of this MoU, and until the termination of sanctions, the U.S. Department of Treasury will issue waivers for the export of Iranian crude oil, petroleum products and derivatives, and all associated services including banking transactions, insurances, transportation, etc.
The United States of America undertakes to make fully available for use, the frozen or restricted funds and assets of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon the implementation of this MoU.
Funds unfrozen and exports permitted right off the bat.
This is the Trump Doctrine. You establish overwhelming force over an adversary, strike a quick blow, then negotiate.
Hmm. What quick blow did he strike against North Korea?

It doesn't have to be a shaming campaign, an in person or on twitter convo of "ya this is weird please keep it separate from EA stuff" would be sufficient.
And how do you know that such an in person convo has not taken place?
It's only not separate from EA stuff in the sense that it's conceivable that an EA will attend and it's conceivable that he will mention EA at some point. That's it. That's the standard that's being applied here - the good EAs must restrict everyone else who considers themselves to be an EA from attending any possibly sus event. Needless to say, this standard isn't applied for just about any other ideology attending vibecamp (do Catholics need to worry about this?).

I'm glad that they pinkie promise no bomb. That's good.
However, there's no firm commitments here about enforcing this in the future. We just get a promise of "agree to discuss the issue of enrichment."
Also, my list of desired outcomes was necessary but not sufficient. For example, if Iran credibly committed to no bomb ever but in return each American had to pay them $1000 a year in perpetuity, this would be overall bad. I assume your list was the same way.
You responded to my comment with:
[The war would be a failure if] Iran tolls the Strait of Hormuz
This is still on the table!

It's not clear to me what spending $300B on our own industries looks like. Unless we're going to loan them some dentists and barbers, it's probably going to look like Iran getting a whole bunch of capital at our expense. If we build e.g. a port for Iran, maybe this has some short run benefits for America, but Iran still gets a free port. That's one thing if Iran is our new best friend, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
Maybe we'd be better off spending $300B digging holes and filling them in again in the Mojave.

So Iran gets $300B, no commitments to remove any mines before 30 days, and no commitments to allow toll-free passage after 60 days.
I guess $300B is cheap for foreign adventures these days. Maybe we'll be able to saddle some "allies" with part of it. I'm not sure if paying reparations was part of the plan, but perhaps some plan trusters can help me out.

Working for a non-reform religious Jew means that your labor will likely go toward the lobbying efforts of the Jewish community.
Is the guy in question a non-reform religious Jew? If so, did Franco know that at the time?
Mounting a shaming campaign against any event that may have EAs in attendance (vibecamp is not an EA meetup even though some attendees are EAs) isn't going to save any chicken QALYs.

Scott is a good writer but is not particularly charismatic and refuses to give interviews (except the one I guess).
I don't know that Piper is focused on AI safety in particular rather than covering EA more broadly. I also see her as more of a journalist than a thinker.
They are already not tolerated - stalkers are explicitly violating international law.
