@RichardHanania You should seriously reckon with the fact that your inability to understand fundamental moral intuitions felt by 99% of humabity disqualifies you from making recommendations for how those people organize their societies

Trump negatives with immigration are indeed because of unpopularity of “brutal” raids with desultory soft normalphags. I warned you about this and some screeched because they want emotional satisfaction instead of results. There are low key Polite ways of forcing remigration.
The American voter wants free universal healthcare and college with tax breaks, no crime but also no one in prison, an airtight border no one ever is sent back across, and economic growth without any recessions or depressions or regional divisions.

Slightly more contemptible, actually. It’s an OnlyFans girl posting a fake conversation in which a father encourages his daughter to do onlyfans, in the hopes of driving the pity -> anger -> lust process toward subscriptions. Similar in a way to the Whatever podcast et al.
Is this father encouraging his daughter to do OnlyFans instead of helping her through a tough time? Did I just read that right?

You’re using a fair point about insane extended family gibs culture and laundering it into a point about why people shouldn’t care about their family as _we_ understand it.
Developed countries are less family oriented than poor countries and that’s a good thing. Or it’s endogenous.

Let us throw it up in front of the Brandenburg and I’ll bring the boys and the fam, stat.
The US-German relations are such an important part of our national identity, you still are what we see as the “Free West”. So instead of believing lies of people traveling in their bubble (with a diplomatic passport), come and visit! Berlin is a fun place and much cheaper than NY

Contrary to how 1L’s are often taught, a “slippery slope” argument is not a fallacy.
For me, Justice Kagan hit the nail on the head here: the logic of the unitary executive argument is difficult to truncate. Now, her view seems to be that the consistent logic of a maximally unitary executive is intolerable, whereas I think the rationale of Myers, rightly

I hope it makes him feel better. We’re still going to win.
So I think Humphreys Executor goes down 6-3, with a Gorsuch concurrence saying the dissenters have a point unless the Court reins in delegation

“Libertarians” and “liberals” who wish to foreclose the possibility of a free market for one of the most important QOL goods (community of choice)
That’s actually not reasonable at all.

Trump doing the Nixon to China with the American Football rebrand is a hysterical and fitting arc
Trump: But when you look at what has happened to the football, soccer in the US. We never call it that because we have another conflict with a thing called football. But when you think about it, this is football, there is no question. We have to come up with another name for the

@JDVance A regime change in the UK would work. Why are we messing around in Venezuela and everywhere else when Europe needs liberation?

The venture capitalist class is impressively determined to deploy capital and speak in the way maximally likely to create medium term threats to property rights.

You are stupid in addition to contemptible. Assuming that this actually happened and these contracts were exercised, in what universe do you imagine the counterparty would remain solvent? Insurance markets exist. There’s a reason the product you’re suggesting isn’t sold.
Here’s an example of a positive externality of liquid prediction markets: Software engineers & truck drivers today are at meaningful risk of being automated into obsolescence, but they have no way to price that risk & hedge against it. Prediction markets fix this

The real ones will still know of the “Cerverza Cristal” ad
Students using ChatGPT will be turning in essays like, “The characters in Jane Austen’s novels speak on two levels. One, the surface level interactions in high society they must maintain. Two, the expression of a thirst so heinous, it can only be quenched by cracking a Sprite.”

The most interesting feature of desegregation was the creation of a partial, indirect “price discovery” mechanism for some of these when no longer provided by the government. The most interested question about a CRA repeal would be seeing the real thing.

Libs know this perfectly well when it comes to the QOL metrics they care about (walking distance to a dispensary or gay bars per 100k or whatever), just like they become interested in IQ in death penalty appeals

Not paying but do you consider the cost of sociological goods? Not positional goods. Just absolute sociological metrics. commute time, prevailing home structure type, school racial composition, drug addict %, tattoo %, etc? If not, you’re just moving poverty off balance sheet.
If you're willing to accept 1960s living standards, you can absolutely afford to support a 2025 family on a single 2025 income. People just don't want to do that. https://t.co/xYlie3N59Z

It is not in fact desirable to live in a Borat-esque society where “how much?” is a casual question to a random girl one can issue without substantial social and legal penalty…. But the the sex market entrepreneurs insist on pushing in this direction

The generic problem with social media is the downsides of celebrity without the upside. Applied here, it’s that sexual norms used to be confined to the purview of Weinsteins and Epsteins but has expanded to the point that some kind of backlash becomes inevitable…

In the before times, you’d have the occasional older guy hitting on the 16 year old waitress but there wasn’t the same kind of “price discovery” apparatus which now exists….
