If macron got caught sexting a minor on American soil, do you think he’d be boing to jail? Sirskiy? Mark Rutte? British royals?
I think the kid gloves are just ‘cabinet official in a major U.S. ally’. Whether that alliance serves US interests is another matter.

The same way ‘woman/minority owned business’ fraud does.

Pink collar- low skill office work, named because it customarily has been done by women. Eg secretaries.
And secretaries and call centers and the like will be the jobs actually hardest hit.

My expectation is that LLM/AI will boost productivity in the white collar sector and reduce pink collar jobs, but not totally upend the jobs market in those two sectors.

Uh, not to be too indecorous but what was the typical BMI of a member? I suspect that most of these single women were not very appealing to men.

USA actually uses way more freight rail than comparable countries. It's just mostly a different basket of goods getting hauled that way- and partly to different places, the rail system was built when population distribution was way different.

Wasn't there a matchmaking cult which forced a bunch of members to gender transition because the gender balance was off?

I preface this by saying that I'm happier not being on discord or knowing very much about it.
But isn't the whole thing driven by adults entering a child's life with ill intentions? Like isn't that the definition of grooming? I'd suspect that the request for nudes comes when the relationship is already underway.

We're going to see a surge of neo-religious sex cults over the next ten to twenty years, as the friction between wanting sex and getting sex reaches levels possibly never before seen in human history, and both male and female adherents will be happy to turn their consent and loyalty over to some new Manson or Jim Jones in exchange for being given permission to just get laid.
It's interesting because women vulnerable to cults mostly do not want to 'just get laid', they want a committed affectionate relationship. Obviously, the psychologically healthy reaction is to enter committed, affectionate, sexual relationship with a man. But for cults that's dangerous because it reduces dependence on the leader.

There are plenty of people who are no particular danger to children in their care despite making rather poor life decisions overall. Very few custody agreement violations present much danger to the child, even if at some level they need to be enforced.

Have you ever seen a child before, much less interacted with one?
Yes? They're desperate for adult approval.

Czechoslovakia, and if you include them as western, the Mexican Empire and Yugoslavia.

Fair, but I still don't sympathize with the UK government.

Judges are people in the sense that they have the ability to do what they want. Judges can just change what they do(remember, they're on average very intelligent individuals). This makes bossing them around complicated.

This assumes that there will be a Canada in the future, which is increasingly doubtful- Alberta and Saskatchewan hate their status as provinces that pay all the bills, and Quebec only stays in because of bribes paid for with their money, and discontiguous states fighting over a shrinking pie have a way of dissolving.

Oddball future predictions, anyone?
Kilts become A Thing in at least some blue tribe cities by 2050. Sneered at by minorities and the red tribe.
More hippos in South America than Africa in 2100. Trophy hunters shooting them are a notable thing; periodic rumblings about introducing lions, saltwater crocodiles, tigers, bears to try to control their population have enthusiastic support from the dwindling number of locals but are opposed by everyone else.
Sailing returns as a low-value bulk cargo shipping mechanism.
Someone, probably China, introduces affirmative action for mothers in the workforce, 2040, and the idea spreads like wildfire. It is promptly used mostly for fraud, both on a corporate and individual level.

What construction trade? I'd fight a grizzly bear before an ironworker but two commercial painters before a coyote.

Muscles for show are less effective at doing heavy manual labor tasks than muscles for doing heavy manual labor tasks, but they're much more effective than 'no muscles'.

I believe it is ethically wrong for me to pretend to go along with problematizing any group of people just because that is social expectation to fit in with the group. Consequently, I mostly avoid social spaces because I don’t feel comfortable with the social norms that I’m expected to conform to.
Then don't pretend to go along with it. I'm sure there are powersports enthusiasts groups and gun clubs you could join if you'd like.

I don't claim that my co-religionists are perfect- and it's worth noting our actual religious elders don't either, undue pressure on your children to have a religious vocation is explicitly a sin.

What's available to you is being an employee of a plumbing company and that makes little money and is phisically draining on top, hence nobody wants to do it.
Plumbers make a lot more than the members of the social class they're recruited from typically do.
Do you expect the USA to press charges against prince Andrew?
