No, that's true regardless. To act as if humans are in danger of extinction if our TFR drops below 2 - and therefore that we must immediately act to bolster the numbers - is to ignore the fact that human population is at an all time high, and indeed experienced explosive growth in the last...

No, we absolutely do not "need human cloning now", and I think you severely misunderstand what TFR translates to. Humans are by no stretch of the imagination anything even remotely close to an endangered species, and simply having a Total Fertility Rate of <2 is not going to change that...

It's further worth noting that complaining about demographics in performance pieces is straight up historically illiterate. The performing arts have been using demographic lines as a jump rope for decades, centuries, or even millennia, depending on how you count. "What if King Arthur was a...

Bull shit. You've spent weeks now arguing that the things you're now trying to brush off as "isolated incidents" can't actually be legitimate, the process of which has consistently shown that you don't understand the underlying rule of law that makes the incidents concerning nor have even taken...

No. You've made it abundantly clear that you do not care. You've only "admitted" to them in the vaguest of senses (a la "I don't agree with all of it, but...") as a rhetorical concession to logroll that the entire situation is a non-issue unworthy of concern. Hell, when the specifics of even the...

Another idea: Futher notes: There's a bit of 'mission variance' baked into this story. As Linika is a sneaky body double playing the role of the princess, the things she needs to accomplish include both political intrigue to secure loyalty and allies as "Zelda", and wetworks operations as...

If you're comfortable brushing off the risk of war just because you reason that we have the biggest guns, I think you might need a few reality checks. I’d invite you to look up the ‘shot heard round the world’ in 1775. That wasn’t supposed to be the start of a war—it was posturing, a show of...

Funny you mention this, because this is the kind of thing I get overly detailed about for fun. The genesis of the idea was that Ganon finally took advantage of the fact that he's a constant, while Link and Zelda are reincarnations. He knows that when he comes back, Link and Zelda will be...

Ok, sure, let's go with that. On further reflection I have messed up that detail about Withholding of Removal that it is specific to a single country. I will acknowledge that much, and correct myself on the matter of that one aspect. Having said that, however, it is largely immaterial to the...

It was a story that was circulating around the right wing in 2022, but the facts don't bear it out. Its genesis was in an Instagram post that 'countered' the White House's definition by asking Siri what the definition of Recession was, to which the program gave the lexico (now merged into...

Bluntly, my tone in addressing you is warranted. Every post you've made has been riddled with errors, misstatements of fact, and outright distortions that make it clear you neither know nor understand what you're talking about. I’ve tried to be patient in past conversations, hoping to guide you...

To borrow your words: "I'm not interested in your amateur analysis of the law", But the difference between you and me is that while you said it to dismiss other people's invocations and quotations of legal statutes and the results of the very court cases under discussion, I say it after you...

Once again, what you're referring to is the bond ruling, which operates under an extremely low standard of evidence. In these kinds of immigration proceedings, ICE can say, 'We have a source who says this person is in a gang, and we believe that source is reliable,' and that's often taken at...

That is not what happened. That's just the mischaracterization you're being fed that you've been too lazy to vet. The judge never found Garcia’s alleged gang membership to be credible. Quite the opposite. The only “evidence” ICE had was a confidential informant and a Chicago Bulls...

So here's a 'fun' story that's popping up. A US citizen born in Newton, Massachusetts - an immigration lawyer, in fact - apparently just received an email from Homeland Security telling her that her nonexistent parole was being terminated, and that she was to leave the United States within seven...
