There's no way joshintosh could do any more damage to Luke Skywalker than Mark Hamil has.

If you already have three kids and have the resources to support more, I don't see any problem with adopting (generally, with caveats that the system is broken and abused occur on all three sides). Bringing foreign babies over as a humanitarian thing creates perverse incentives and ultimately results in perpetuating suffering for others.

The Arkham Trilogy were, and still are, some of the best looking games ever made. And once they cleared up the issues with whatever DRM they were using (Denuvo?) causing framerates to drop on loading zones, they ran really well too.

Forgive me if this reply puts your words somewhat out of order; I'm attempting to respond to specific claims/ideas

As for the average Jew in America or the ones that are orthodox, they tend to be pro-Israel and more conservative. [...] Typically the more Jewish a person is, as in being for Israel, the more conservative they are. Orthodox Jews, or at least Orthodox sympathetic Jews tend to be Conservative in their values and beliefs. [...] Sid Rosenberg praises Christians and defends white people as well as defending Jews. Because he's a conservative. The crap you see from Jews is to the degree that they buy into wokeness.

American Jews vote 80%+ Democrat. Of the remaining less than 20%, I can think of several more examples that put Israel ahead of the US, and white interests behind their own (if not everyone else on the planet), despite not "buying into wokeness"; Does Randy Fine buy into Wokeness? What about Ben Shapiro? The average Jew in the US (and around the world) is neither pro-white nor pro-America (other than to the extent to which these two groups serve their interests).

Name all the overwhelming amount of powerful people in all spheres of life who are based regardless of ethnicity? They are needles in a haystack. The "Jews are anti-white because they're Jews" puts the cart before the horse.

Jews, like the overwhelming majority of people in the world, are anti-white because they aren't white; They don't see their interests as aligned.

So this guy is an isolated example, an exception even?

for atheistic "intellectuals" who do not possess the Holy Spirit? Not at all.

For Jews? Powerful secular Jews who are atheist and who's religion is wokeness? Not at all. Just like the white CEO's who are all down with wokeness, it's not an exception. Power corrupts.

Jews who are just "intellectual" atheists, yeah, they end up like most "intellectual" atheists. That is liberal, anti-white, promoting the system of the day which is anti-white.

When agendas were less subversive in decades past, Jews stuck to whatever that agenda was. They're more slaves to the agenda of the times than they are puppet masters. Anyone without the Holy Spirit is susceptible to landing on the spirit of the age, as they must be led by something, and most get led by the one the crowd's going with.

I may be reading into this incorrectly, but do you mean to imply by this that practicing Jews that do not accept Christ have the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Because that is simply heresy.

And to suggest that Jews merely promote the existing agenda/system ignores the prominent role of Jewish intellectuals in advancing new policies and ideologies contrary to western ideals. Look at the number of Jews who were (and are) prominent within the feminist movement. Look at the influence they've had on immigration policy, or any other number of socio-political movements. They're a tiny minority of the population, with vastly outsized representation within these movements. That isn't narrative, that's just data. The narrative is why and how this overrepresentation came to be.

I don't want more white murderers roaming the streets though.

As for what I think you intend to imply there, if you think that the state is going to allow a favorable jury for white vigilantes, I have a bridge to sell you.

"They're not even the real jews" is a way to get dispensationalist boomer Christians to stop putting them on a pedestal and deferring to them even when they openly act in defiance of scripture. In my experience, if pointing out the myriad horrors inflicted on Christ and Christians by Jews isn't effective, then pointing out that their genetic linkage to ancient Hebrews is thin to nonexistent won't help either.

No, it doesn't. And if you don't know this by now, it's probably not ignorance or incompetence, but malice.

Bitcoin is limited to about half a million on-chain transactions daily, which is multiple orders of magnitude too low to function as a means of transaction globally or even nationally. And don't even try to bring up exchanges; those have all the same problems that the banks/credit card companies do.

Before checking the article, I'm gonna put a 50/50 bet that the one was either Sotomayor or Jackson.

The solo dissent being (drumroll...) Ketanji Brown Jackson.

That woman has no business being anywhere near a judge's bench.

Hot take: Quebec isn't Canadian. If they don't speak the dominant language of the country, they don't belong there (and I'd say the same of English monolinguals in Quebec.)

Besides the fact everything Trek has been shit for almost 20 years now

Over 30 if you don't like Enterprise and Voyager. I personally have mixed feelings on both, but I know plenty of people who don't like them at all.

From one of your links:

Female archers.

Bows require a significant amount of upper body strength to pull. Longbows especially required you to start training before puberty to handle properly.

I was going to make a slight correction and say that technically Iran has been at war with us since 1974, not the other way around. Then I re-read the number. Yeah, that's definitely someone bought and paid fore by Israel.

Marine veteran and Green Party candidate for US Senate

There's some context missing in most of the posts I've seen about this. Maybe he's just a normal guy fed up with partisan politics, but the little bit of policy I can see on his website indicates that he's certainly not fiscally conservative. This whole thing is pretty clearly a publicity stunt, and while he's probably right on this issue, I doubt he aligns with the majority of the userbase here on topics outside foreign policy.

It used to be. Then the site traffic died down, our old mod stopped getting his checks, and we got new ones that made more reasonable rules.

I don't know what I expected. I figured it was pretty obvious that AoV was advocating for the death penalty for rapists and it went over peoples heads. My obviously sarcastic post clearly did as well.
