having no real shot at success in America other than selling his body.
Selling his body? Are you serious?
He wouldn't have been able to become a cop, a nurse, a clerk, a financial professional or any of the other thousands of professions that black people in the midwest find themselves in?
LeBron's struggles seem less part of his success story and more part of a self-penned "rags to riches" legend.
Are people of Jewish descent somehow disadvantaged by Affirmative Action?
How often has she mentioned the elections were stolen again?
Often enough[0] (it's questionable if the Mueller probe would have even happened without Clinton & Democratic Party clamoring for it) and the last time just a month ago:
"Hillary Clinton: Right-Wingers Plot To 'LITERALLY STEAL' The Election In 2024"[1]

I sincerely doubt they would be using public ADS-B ported to a Twitter account to track you around.
Why not, when it's convenient? It's probably not impossible to get a Stinger missile or similar from one of the current war theaters or black markets.
From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.
From a European perspective many talking points and political efforts of the Democratic party are certainly extremely left-wing. In fact, many of the European left-wing parties crudely import talking points on internal US issues, like for instance Black Lives Matter. Also, why would a "slightly rightwing party" push for anti-white CRT in schools, sex transitioning of children, abortions and mass immigration?
noted pathologist says
The "noted pathologist" is expert witness Dr. Michael Baden, of George Floyd fame (or infamy), who routinely confirms whatever the paying party requested[0].
Can you explain what you are referring to? What has contrasting the military capabilities of Germany and Israel have to do with the subject of the article?
Didn't stop them from executing the Nakba against the inhabitants of Palestine already in 1948[0].
On top of that, the irony of poisoning the water supply is thick, since Jews had been accused of poisoning wells for hundreds of years at that point[1].

There is this relatively recent German movie called Plan A from 2021[0].
i do wonder how easy/hard it really is to reverse engineer a vaccine
I think it's easier to gain this information via hacking and data theft or paying insiders for documents than actually reversing the vaccine.
You'd think that with China's cavalier attitude towards intellectual property and trade secrets they would just copy one of the more effective mRNA vaccines and distribute it under the current Sinovax label.
I hope you don't mean racial homogeneity, because that would be a load of _equine excrement_
I'd argue that Mumbai/India or Lagos/Nigeria are overwhelmingly racially homogeneous. So there must be some additional factor beyond racial homogeneity.
There are diverse countries that have similar levels of safety like Singapore.
Any examples for this statement?
NYC and Tokyo, well there’s many factors involved.
And the most obvious one is demographic composition.
Does the high trust stem from interpersonal solidarity or draconian persecution of misbehaviour?
Let's hear what Ken Griffin has to say about the GOP receiving FTX money.
Did the GOP directly profit from those donations or did it go to a specific PAC to support the campaign of a specific politician who a had personal connection to FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Salame? There is a report that suggests the latter[0].

The left likes to vilify the practices of the IMF, BlackRock and GoldmanSachs. Is that also a "too obvious anti-Semitic [dog]whistle"? Or does that only apply to those evil people on the right?
In the case of the recent gay club shooting in Colorado Springs, wasn't the shooter a gay "incel" man himself?
in demand skillset (ts/js/c#)
Sorry, but what does "ts" stand for?
What's this "US culture war"?
Post-modernist deconstruction of what is viewed as "white people culture" (meritocracy, high-trust societies, traditional gender roles and family) inspired by the Frankfurt School[0] of philosophy and older concepts[1].
I know it's associated with being politically on the left, but personally, as a left-winger in a more traditional (class-based, economic) sense, I am baffled as to how it's been quietly switched to all this woke gibberish. I certainly didn't see it coming.
The word on the street is that this has been pushed by the people who control Wall Street and mainstream media to subvert the Occupy Wall Street movement and the class war momentum it was gaining before and in 2011.
The same semantic Motte-and-bailey[0] game is being played in other languages too. In Germany, the job of the "Gleichstellungsbeauftragte" (equity officer, also almost exclusively women) isn't to further "Gleichberechtigung" (equality) but to do the opposite while making it sound fair and unassailable.
What I do see is some use of te reo Māori which I expect, like any language, will influence the way that students learn chemistry.
Reminds me of the time when I had a software tutorial Google-translated from Farsi to English and it sounded like a magical incantation.
In contrast to their glowing obituaries of Nelson Mandela and Jimmy Savile.
Like you I was suprised by the amount of negative reception but I can sympathize with most of these people. The company failed at properly communicating their vision and USP regarding the experiences, hopes and fears of their target audience and animated checkbox diversity pictures on the website don't cut it.
I can't (and honestly don't want to) calculate the amount of late fees and forgotten continuing subscriptions I had to pay for over my lifetime. The advertised service seems comparatively expensive and not exactly scalable without the company cutting corners (3rd world call centers) or raising prices soon.
As the founder of iFocus Health you should take notes what went wrong here.
There is an expression of speech: 'reality has a documented liberal bias.'
There is also another popular expression: 'Get woke, go broke.'
They just use the internal tools and create a ticket to have an admin ban your IP and all current and future accounts. Wow, such a hurdle!
Even more awesome to have this happen with a dormitory IP. /s
Until the day you fail the purity test and have your IP and all accounts permabanned due to a disagreement with a mod in disguise.
More generally, we never purposely made the recommendation algo worse to increase boosts or because people would only stay if they didn’t meet someone during my era, even if everyone thought that’s we did.
Would anyone admit this publicly? That's a surefire way to destroy your career or getting sued.
Also begs the question for which performance indicators did you optimize if not engagement and retainment?
I like your theory and it puts into words this nagging feeling about gift-giving (material or immaterial) which I had for years.
I love making gifts to people, without expecting anything in return, but still wondered why it sometimes seemed to drive people away. That's why the "Law of Reciprocity"[0][1] never sat right with me while I experienced more personal anecdotal evidence for the reverse phenomenon [2].
