  1. To the original point, if you are single and this job allows some great digital nomad lifestyle to chase skirts then this is a debate. If you have any responsibilities it isn’t.
  2. He already had one murder arrest and the local authorities let him out after a weapons charge and he killed someone within a day. He had been arrested on seven felonies in five years and released each time. Yes, the local authorities failed badly.
  3. I am very comfortable saying that any unauthorized immigrant who has been arrested SEVEN TIMES on felony charges in five years should have been arrested or deported long before this (second) murder arrest, yes. And that deporting people like him is a good thing, and that finding reasons not to deport people who keep getting arrested is one reason why we are where are. Like who are we kidding on this stuff? What is the net benefit for not kicking you out after, say, two arrests? Keep in mind he has no authorization to be here to begin with.
  4. The logical response to that is “refusing to charge people for crimes and then letting them go do more” is a basic failure of governance.
  5. To really nuke the birthrates, combine a relatively high level of education and economic options for women with a retrograde and sexist domestic culture like SK and parts of Eastern/Southern Europe. Highest levels are in undeveloped places where women are treated like property.
  6. As I said, if you are in a widget role (maybe a highly technical one that pays well), ok. You are absolutely not on a list for future leadership and supervision if being at home and not interacting outside of TEAMS is a priority.
  7. I think that “sanctuary” policies where immigration authorities are not informed when unauthorized immigrants are arrested for serious crimes are frankly insane on their face and anyone who wants a more humane immigration needs to admit that the backlash they caused is a big reason we are where we are. If it’s inhumane to turn over people with multiple arrests for serious crimes then who can be deported at all?
  8. For debate: is tweeting about “money hungry Jews” antisemitism or simply a nuanced statement about Zionism? https://nypost.com/2025/12/18/us-news/zohran-mamdani-appointee-catherine-almonte-da-costa-made-vile-antisemitic-comments-in-unearthed-social-media-posts/?utm_source=twitter&utm_social_handle_id=17469289&utm_medium=social&utm_social_post_id=626963616&utm_campaign=nypost
  9. OK in that case this may actually be a foreign intelligence operation and that’s why they won’t release a name.
  10. We ran the experiment of “imagine what we could accomplish if we didn’t have to go into the office” and 95 percent of the population chose to bake shitty sourdough, never change out of sweatpants, and get fat while binge-watching Netflix. Spare me the wishcasting of all the amazing things we could do by not going to work and just locking in at home. We are fucking animals and we will choose to consume calories and conserve energy just like other omnivores if given the choice. 100 percent agree that I will assume peiple who demand WFH as their top priority have low ambitions and low desire to learn. I think WFH is an incredibly important flex tool that can be deployed in a time-constrained way but if you’re doing it all the time you’re just a widget.
  11. Looks like they have a suspect and a warrant but will not release a name. And they have no clue where he is.Maybe someone with LEO experience can explain why they’d release this. On the surface, it seems like they are warning him that they know who he is so he can hide better, but not enlisting public help to make it harder to do so. Seems like a clown show. And will feed conspiracy narratives.
  12. Would like a Freakonomics episode on the impact on future crime rates obtained by putting more offenders in prison during prime reproductive years.
  13. Slavic and Hungarian women not smiling boosts credibility of this exercise. And turns me on.
  14. Insane debate. Double your compensation.
  15. If you’re just going for more…carnal encounters then unfortunately I’m putting Russia much higher. And inflicting Surlyites on them is kind of a punishment so…… 1. Denmark 2. Sweden 3. South Korea 4. Spain 5. Russia 6. China 7. U.S. 8. Kenya 9. India
  16. I do not understand how Denmark and Sweden finish off the podium here.
  17. I looked up and read this dogshit take by “JR Gamble” who I assume has been thawed out of some Nordic peat bog and is now offering his Cro-Magnon views on sports and society as some form of elaborate performance art. BLUF: It’s totally unfair that Michigan hasn’t fired this woman who was promoted above her rightful rank by the man she was having an affair with. Yeah, no shit— it turns out that screwing subordinates and giving them extra workplace consideration leaves institutions in an uncomfortable and precarious place once the merry go round of blowjobs and great performance evaluations stops. And you can’t just fire the people who got promotions that way. It’s almost like that’s exactly why managers are explicitly told DO NOT SLEEP WITH PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR YOU. And it’s almost like Sherrone could have avoided being victimized by simply not sleeping with women on his staff. We need an IQ test before people are allowed to publish on the internet, a simple shape rotation type thing before you can hit “submit.”
  18. Steering away from DNC talk (WTF), Oz has a significant problem that is deeper than slackened enforcement of gun laws.
  19. Expansive access to contraceptives, later marriages, fewer forced marriages, education and professional opportunities for women, formal social safety nets for seniors, plunging childhood mortality. All leads to a rational choice for high investment, high intensity parenting of fewer kids as opposed to low-investment production of lots of kids. Holds true across cultures. Whats interesting is that things like parental leave and subsidies for kids probably further incentivize “invest more in fewer kids” as opposed to “have more kids.” There should be no beating about the bush: this is going to cause some short and medium term pain even if over the long term it will create more stability and be more sustainable. More interesting than declining birth-rates is to track what this model of parenting (high-investment, fewer kids) does to sex ratios. The picture is not pretty for big swathes of the world where they have adopted this model but retain a bias in favor of men. Fewer young people and more of them males with literally not enough women to pair off with.
  20. I really enjoy the labels that are getting put all over the White House.
  21. Great interview with the photog for the VF piece. https://archive.ph/ZhRop
  22. An individual with a deportation order has had their case in front of a judge, had the facts examined, and order of removal issued. Often but not always issued in conjunction with other criminal violations beyond just unauthorized presence. TSA is part of DHS. This is far less intrusive than neighborhood sweeps and raids and is targeting people who have had due process followed and been ordered removed. I have a hard time getting upset over this use of info sharing.
  23. Because the best defense against a unified attempt to rig the election is to have republicans busy competing against each other and maybe even a non-MAGA favored candidate emerging as the winner. An anointed JD Vance will have the entire apparatus working to install him.
  24. Because our best hope of non-fuckery in that election is a contested GOP primary.
  25. Part two, where there is speculation on another DJT run (Wiles says no).
