@Smthnoranything@BayesianNuance@haugejostein Given his name and profile, he’s more concerned with validating hereditarian race realism and biological determinism under a polite rationalist veneer.
His usual verbosity vanishes here because a real doctor's peer-reviewed data shows disparities are socioeconomic, not genetic.
@KyleKulinski Turning top military staff into "podcast bros" during active conflicts, right after a midterm that rebuked an "influencer" administration, is a wildly tone-deaf PR that trivializes the gravity of command

@cwebbonline Eh, the square is just a cropped U.S. flag motif with more than 7 stars on it.
A "fun fact" on parallel symbolism, but it holds nearly no critical weight on its own.
The lighter spin on this would be asking if he was even sober enough to pull off such a fastidious dogwhistle.
@AntiThetical313@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake Not to say you are wrong in your empathy either, appreciate that in itself
FWIW the fact we don't know his dad also bothers me bc it's a blind spot in his med history, and his rebel youth and 20s are hitting him HARD in middle age now.
Wish he'd at least do a gene screening 😅
@AntiThetical313@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake Divine vengeance sounds gratifying at first
But no sense in desiring that whilst we live with free will
A theist ought to choose salvation & grace despite our tests
For all our transgressions, if there are acts of divine judgment, they belong to death, the end of our journeys.
@AntiThetical313@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake I was in elementary/middle school when bro was a teen doing all that, just kept my head down in the dysfunction (tho eventually got my share of some physical scars to match... self-defense from his drunkenness as adult roommates once)
No juvie for him, just left the nest at 16
@bettingcabal@Edwina108454693@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake Intervened when she could, to her credit
Tbh she wasn't there for months, every few years; recurring involuntary commitments for bipolar (took cornering teen me with a chef's knife as a "stranger in the home" for docs to listen to me & re-diagnose as schizoaffective disorder) 🫠
@Mikegelqb@chococtober Each group is rounded to the nearest whole number independently, which can push the displayed sum to 101% even though the raw data equals 100%
Journalism and data visualization prefer reporting each category's true rounded value over making large rounding errors to fit a total
@zackoryk Will be watching, but wondering if there may simply be conflation of researching and sorting affidavit ballots - standard administrative procedures - with "curing in secret?"
And "process of counting and voting affidavit ballots" is a subject line, not a "current status update?"
@ainulmuzaffar@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake Good question
One I've yet to find space to speak with him sincerely and vulnerably on
Likely beltings and smaller fights prior to teens reframed into lifelong betrayal in his mind
So he took on a "pariah" armor, asshole attitude... trauma defense for his ego, avoids own guilt
@818CoffeeCat@DeedleFake Sorry your fam had some strange detours, figuratively and literally, and appreciate you sharing the humor in it
Thank you for kind words in return and others in lending an ear too, didn't feel up to posting my own thread but wanting to sort through feelings lately
