One of the many things that young people should have screamed at them and be shamed for ignoring.

I don't think later-no-harm is a good outcome.
Inherently, no, but later-harm produces tactical voting. Worse, it produces tactical voting in a mass-producible way; political parties will figure out which full ballot by their supporters will be best for them, and push it hard. Full how-to-vote cards are a thing in Australia, but the parties don't push them all that hard due to later-no-harm.
Now, yes, later-no-harm is incompatible with a bunch of other criteria, which is annoying. But, well, impossibility theorem.
IRV among them is particularly bad for counting
I mean, yes, the O(N!) worst-case is a pain. I will say that it's not nearly as bad in practice as the worst-case; a good number of seats in Australia have [#2 > all votes other than for #1 and #2], which simplifies it to 2 buckets (and a lot of the rest have [#3 > all votes other than #1/#2/#3], which simplifies it to 6 buckets). Usually the AEC can predict this ahead of time; they do a full recount if their prediction is wrong, of course, but most seats are known within hours.
(STV absolutely always is a nightmare, though; we use it for our Senate, and it takes over a week to count. AIUI it's worse in terms of tactical voting, too.)

I hate to be pithy, but the problem is that we have forgotten God. I'm serious.
If by "forgotten God" you mean learned he never existed in the first place, then yes.

Nah the funniest conclusion would be that 2003 Trump didn't actually know Epstein all that much, had met him in passing, but knew he was rich and connected (he's such good friends with Bill Gates AND Bill Clinton!) so he wrote this note off rumors he heard to appear in the know.

why, out of all those ongoing conflicts, Russia-Ukraine is the war.
It was much more or a Current Thing than the other ones. You are allowed to not give a hoot about them, but Europe was in a COVID-tier psychosis at the beginning of Russia-Ukraine.

Thank you for your in-depth reply. That makes sense.

One of my friends from grade school and his wife looked into adopting when infertility issues prevented them from having biological children. They are rather well-off and well-connected — a major street in this city is named after my friend's grandfather, and more than one local politician would occasionally attend his family's Christmas party.
And yet, they were denied. No kids. (Now he mostly just channels it into being uncle to his sister's kids, and his wife into her hobbies.)
(I've brought up this example to more than one therapist, when they recommended that I try adopting a kid. Because they'll just hand off a kid into the care of a single, jobless, literal crazy man like me while denying a wealthy, stable couple like my friends?)

No offense meant, but ideally these gifted people would be going into government and industry, not spending all their time on video games.
You can meaningfully start working on a video game even if you're completely disconnected from any sort of career track or network, and can still produce something that many strangers will happily interact with if it's successful. Government is a complete nonstarter for any sort of solo work, and unless you're up for full-stack entrepreneurship on your lonesome, so is industry. Interesting work at unsolved problems also isn't exactly at the bottom of the org chart, so you'd need to maneuver some sort of illegible career-entrepreneurship maze with bottomless will to political power to get anywhere where you might get a chance to have meaningful impact anything. I don't see that many of the sorts of people who have a mindset of being good indie video game programmers wanting to get into that or thinking they would succeed at it. Sixty years ago, "try to join Bell Labs" would have been a clear path for someone who can do clever stuff but isn't terrible interested in constantly spending most of their effort in career advancement, but stable, slack-providing organizations like that are hard to keep around.

I've seen this excuse used approximately a thousand times, and look: what if your priors just are wrong here? What if the Democratic party and its surrounding establishment just aren't the all-powerful, almighty band of operators that this theory presumes that they are? What if genuinely is information that they haven't obtained, at least in usable form, until it comes out?

Countries like Sweden didn't go through the war, and the Communists (and socialist parties in general) were never as strong in Western Europe as after WW2 (countries like Italy, France and Finland most clearly, but most Western European countries saw stronger-than-ever numbers for the Communists in the immediate WW2 aftermath).

A female-to-male ratio of 3:2 among college graduates means that one in three college-educated women remains childless and single or intentionally becomes a single mom or marries a working-class man.
Yes, and I'd say that almost all of them are going to be the first (childless), with a few taking the second option (intentional single mom, likely via artificial insemination or, given aging, IVF). It doesn't matter whether we're "prepared to normalize such prospects" or not, it's what's going to happen.
Well since you aren't telling what the tricky way is (the whole exchange is suggestive of paranoia to be honest), I can't reproduce, but
with the exception of Colorado's vowels it seems correct. I don't get better results from 2.5 Pro or Sonnet, certainly no hallucinated two states.
