@chadowkat internalized notions of masc/femme and dominant/submissive from heteronormativity and how those notions are congruent with their sense of self and thus desired role.

probably that we should bring back state-run mental asylums and involuntarily commit more people, particularly those that need to be medicated, who have lost touch w/ reality. their families aren't capable of taking care of them, neither are jails or ERs; we need Leviathan here.

@BlueRepublik my only contribution would be that, if attacking a retreating enemy were a war crime, it'd be difficult to prosecute violations: there'd be an incentive to employ a strategy of rapidly reversing direction between retreating and counterattacking, trying to bait a war crime.

local zoning boards and policymakers will openly state their intentions to restrict that market's supply of housing forever, no matter how much demand grows, then act incredulous when private equity firms make an obvious investment call based on that policy forecast.

one of my most authoritarian opinions is that i want to ban Pit Bulls, but i have no idea how that'd be logistically feasible (classifying a "pit bull", tracking them) or if that'd even actually be constitutional at either the state or Federal levels.

Alfred Marshall, the literal originator of the supply and demand curve diagram, stated that solving poverty should be the primary focus of economists, "their chief and their higher interest"; he advocated for expanding education access and direct welfare relief to the poor

I mean you very likely directly helped the Taliban accomplish this goal.
The Taliban retaking Afghanistan in a matter of weeks as September 11th nears is a tragic symbol of the last decades. Our governments abandoned law to wage fruitless wars, sacrificed our most sacred rightsโand trampled the memory of those they claimed to avenge. Was it worth it?

tipping culture takes advantage of delusional waiters who do not consistently track their earnings and do not account for variance; at this point I'm just assuming the waiters objecting to $30/hr were not paying taxes on cash tips.
What do you think? Good move? Bad move? Should tipping culture die in America?

and by "bring back" i don't mean literally copy/paste the sanitarium model from the 1950s; there are 21st century approaches โ more enlightened, more ethical, more evidence-based, more humane โ like the Norwegian approach to incarceration.

Jordan Neely should not have been on that subway that day; he should've been in an institution, being treated. Luigi Mangione's family should've been able to commit him, assuming they cared to find him first (in PA, you can 302 someone for 5 days with a court order).

if someone's model's estimate of ฮฒ(education) is negative then something has gone seriously wrong and it should be an uphill battle to justify that result. this kind of naรฏve normality assumption only makes frequentists look silly.
Here are the published causal estimates of a year of education on earnings. Notice anything wrong? Results should be normally distributed, but they are not. Correcting for publication bias, the benefit of an additional year of schooling is 0.

the point of Pride is to challenge the idea that a human brain's disgust response is an infallible, innate source of moral intuition that prescribes the rules of society and public existence.
Unpopular opinion: Pride meant to be something for queer people to be seen and show our existence and our hard experiences against homophobia not a fucking fetish show.

i believe that there are geniuses being born in Sub-Saharan Africa every day; the tragedy is that external factors (disease, nutrition, sanitation, armed conflict) will make surviving childhood a crapshoot for them, & sufficient public education is needed to discover them.

if someone's argument is that the only way to curtail and reverse climate change is to overthrow capitalism, technological advancement threatens their narrative.
Scientists: It took us 40 years, but we invented miracle technologies that can save the world from the existential threat of climate change!. Eco-socialists: Oh that's all very nice, but what about the true global threat of LITHIUM MINING.
