@moseskagan @only_shans_ Understandable if the profile is clearly deceptive, but cases like this is just the latest version of the (((echo))) thing from a while ago. "Not saying anything bad, just pointing out this person's race"

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@moseskagan @only_shans_ With all respect, consider whether this habit you've picked up is salutary. This is an Indian girl w a real profile pic & a Spotify full of Indian songs in her bio. She's not allowed to post the same dumb commie things young girls in the rest of the world post? 1/

@JesusFerna7026 @connoramulhern "Larger than US" isn't anchored in any way to "large enough to be meaningful". Some good anchors would be the social benefits of fertility & the costs borne by parents; Both far, far exceed any incentives that have been tried

@walkinintheyard @BSaarX @Schwarzenegger Is there anyone in particular you're thinking of? I'm a lifelong Californian and I can't think of any "far right" pols

Much more plausible to me that CA GOP was sunk by the well-documented shift in voter focus on national politics (eg less ticket splitting btwn local/nat'l)

@ColinSamul @katrosenfield Ah. Poe's Law and all that

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@ColinSamul @katrosenfield This is just therapy-speak, not remotely "Wiccan"

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@TheeRespecter @katrosenfield Yup, I'm hardly rightwing, but I def shoulder more of the emotional stability burden in our relationship. My fiancée recently marveled at how miserable her friends are abt politics while she's, unconsciously, learned to keep a healthy emotional distance

@katrosenfield "nervous system will regulate" riiiight

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@Scotchjake @BarryPCotter @owenbroadcast Do you have a source for that? Eg here's the Washington Times (hardly pro-immigration) consistently mentioning _net_ growth: https://t.co/YKlcJTDCA1

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@Scotchjake @BarryPCotter @owenbroadcast It's not 99% of new jobs going to immigrants, it's ~85% of _net_ jobs going to immigrants. Big contributor is Baby Boomers retiring en masse

@HowlingBunghole @Howlingmutant0 @thirdmetax What if you told them you had a coffee everyday for 20y straight? That's a Much closer comparison than alcohol, from a health perspective

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@Howlingmutant0 @thirdmetax People who can't start their day without a coffee are addicted to coffee. Rogen's pt is that that definition of addiction isn't pathological, just descriptive

(I do neither drug regularly, tho prob weed more than coffee)

@westofyou @RCG3211978 @NateSilver538 Interested to hear why you think it's disenfranchisement? Bearing in mind that all voting schemes are subject to Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, it's not obvious to me why top-two is worse than a party-aligned primary

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@stephenrodrick It's a different city and different city govt... She's specifically complaining about how badly run la is.

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@sweater__weathr @RogueWPA Public health is a plenty noble mission already. Isn't what you're describing more like a battle between two conflicting missions?

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@DumaineRachel @estherzelda0514 @Nyct0phil3_x Yea that's basically what I'm getting at: the reason stats like these are not well known is bc they're not seized on & constantly repeated by a culture of neuroticism

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@QiaochuYuan This is noticeable at a micro-resolution too. I definitely don't spend more time poasting when I'm firing on all cylinders (that's what outside is for)

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@RacialFeminist @Nyct0phil3_x There are a ton of things associated statistically w/ a higher chance of harm. One completely ignores the vast majority of them

Which you focus emotional energy on is more-or-less fully within your control. A pathological inability to be pragmatic about this focus is neuroticism

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@RacialFeminist @Nyct0phil3_x Not intending to be provocative, but given racial disparities in violent crime, u can answer your qs here by interrogating how u manage not to live in fear of any African-American around you

or for that matter, get in a car w/o hyperventilating abt being mutilated in an accident

[Vargo @Bootlegregore]

@DumaineRachel @estherzelda0514 @Nyct0phil3_x This tweet is an example of what OP is talking about: ~45% of young boys & men experience coerced sex, per the APA. What differs is the population-level behavioral response
