The united States has such deed restrictions as well, and changes require historical society approval.


This sucks when there is a roof leak, and directly contributes to why historical buildings rot away.

SBF is probably going to be classified into a low security prison, so he will not have to deal with any of the gang bullshit and instead the overcrowding.


Jail, and federal jail particularly, tends to mix security classifications together prior to trial as a matter of course so it tends to be generally worse than what most people experience.

In such a case, some data > no data, just keep in mind the error bars are higher than they would be if this was an established survey house polling on a traditional question like "who do you want for president".




If it makes us draw a false conclusion then yes, it is most certainly worse than no data.


No hedging of the claim seems to be occurring, it isn't "my followers" after all, and the blatant motte and bailey here probably has pushed me out of suspicion and into hostility as it concerns Aella.

Surely that's an act of war




More than what has been done by both sides already? For all intents and purposes they are at a low intensity war.

Are you asking us to playbook out an insurrection to argue against you? Understand that I am hesitant to go beyond the following: The infrastructure that allows for domestic surveillance has a physical location just like the people.

I expect her to underperform in NH due to the libertarian influence there. The only group I've encountered that seems to like her are conservative jews associated with the Urban East coast, which is no weak demographic but not really enough to carry her.

And if the King of England went around ordering the execution of those who displeased him and it was his right to do so, how long would he keep the crown?


Not very long, I suspect.


Trump is either an insurrectionist or he isn't, and if he wins the General, rules written, by definition he isn't. Disqualifying him from the General is either perfunctory or damaging to the system and not Trump.


The actual fucking solution to the problem of a second Trump term is to corral the power of the executive rather than an executive.

And we should stop supporting Ukraine because it is enriching the military industrial complex.


I can't help but think "but other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play?" When you bring up the idea that discussion shouldn't happen on a subject because people might be mean.

Well generally if the year was 1923 rather than 2023 I'd be hard pressed to ever see a black person in much of the US, so the great migration and mass media played a role for sure.

mottemods have the usual bias for longposting, but they want actual content in the same way that netflix wants content. Stuff that drives people here.


So interesting perspectives and being a political weirdo gets you rather far.

120k minors were diagnosed with gender dysphoria and 17k were put on puberty blockers or pills, suggesting that even among those who get a dysphoria diagnosis, the rates for going on to medical transition are very low, around 1/8th




A null hypothesis for this is that puberty blockers are generally dangerous drugs and that many doctors do not want to deal with the liability.

So the idea is that the powers behind the throne use woke discourse to provide circuses to prevent an actual threat to their dominance of American life?


All reports are that the intel agencies aren't insulated from woke discourse and the culture war, so it doesn't particularly work that they float it to protect themselves from attack.

I think this post relies too much on a definition of Republican and Democrat that do not mirror one another and change depending on which paragraph they appear in.


The Democrat party has a long bench only if you count people who aren't traditional Democrat party people, as it concerns people who are the same sort of people as Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, everyone is of a similar age. The Republican party bench is just as long with Trump weirdos and freedom caucus guys if not longer, but the establishment pick for the 2024 election is Nikki Haley who lost the election before the first debate.


The disease that is killing the republican party is just as present in the democrat party if not more so, they've just had their TEA party moment in team red already so that machine has already been dead since Obama.


So what will the Republican Party look like come 2030, barring the actions of the other side? Every institution and think tank is entirely in flux at the moment and it is going to come down to who can exhibit real power next year and specially in 2026 and 2028. What is likely going to happen is that Rand Paul continues to rise to where he is one of the most prominent politicians in the party establishment just from seniority, which is going to be a bit wild to think about.


As it concerns the future of the Red Tribe intellectual, the Ivy Leagues got their start as seminaries and future red tribe elites are probably going to have a lot more MDivs and DDivs, less PhDs and JDs. There are a lot of new players like American Reformer and First Things on team red that are explicitly religious and I expect that trend to continue as who they represent rise in power on the right, while a lot of existing journals veer smart-religious or die. This is generally because those sectors that support these publications and produce those intellectuals have children and cause drastic worldview conversions in other people as a regular part of life. They can also get these intellectuals a job fairly easily as there are deep and growing shortages for well paying positions based around conservative outreach. The Hasidic Jews also have high TFRs and inevitably are going to show up to the future as well, and are naturally going to be in the red tribe.


This will also be a regression to the mean as it concerns American politics, and if the seculars are going to want to keep their happy tribe they are going to have to fight for it.

It is no hidden fact that black communities hate the black cops, because generally they have an excuse to be the worst hardass they can be.


I am not particularly sure how you'd be able to get a cop that is a community member of the bad neighborhoods, while not paying them enough to not live there. Certainly not someone degreed.
