Honest question: what are the parameters for a 'white genocide?' To clarify, what would have to occur for you to believe that title is appropriate?

Back in early 2016 I told myself that if BTC dropped below $200 I would buy one. The lowest I saw was $203. When it went meteor a few years later, I felt Fold remorse. Perhaps it is sour grapes, but every time I walk by the BTC machine at m

It is absolutely famous, but its fame is somewhat cloistered. The Elephant's Foot is a gateway to the Chernobyl rabbit hole for so many people. A geological, cataclysm celebrity; a fucking rock with a documented kill count and it sits

In terms of exoplanetary interchange, time recedes and tonnage expands as the concern. Without a space elevator or MAC transfer solution, you'd be effectively FedExing teacups of dirt to a green house in a Sahara contained on Antarctic

Definitely! First off, I am biased in my compost preferences and it is always good to hear different opinions. Second, what works for one fails for another, so no sense in throwing more effort into a process that isn't working. On to y

You are correct. Incidentally, humus is a delightful compliment to a sound horticultural spread, not unlike it's etymological cousin. It can make things better, but it cannot be the main course.

Autocorrect has outed me as a desirer of dips and spreads more so than an urban farmer. The shame and ignominy is overwhelming.

Your recollection is correct. Consider too the dust accumulation predictions for the moon landing. It would appear that we (as humans) are not very good at dust estimates (dustimates?). This is reinforced by the continuing struggle/ina

I posted this article here. No one voted it up, so I assume no one read it or had much interest. I personally believe many of these Green Schemes will have terrible consequences, but time will tell. https://www.theatlantic.com&#x

Apply this logic (ill gotten gains is the term you used, but I interpret it as a coded way to say value created by immoral actors) to technology and it suddenly becomes a little more complicated. The scary prospect, from my perspective, is

It is a strange axiom but I have yet to see it otherwise: when the will of the people is Leftward, it is Democracy; when the will of the people is Rightward, it is Populism. The person that responded to you employed a classic "anti-rig

An interesting question. Pre- Post- Modern thought (lol English language) was rife with intellectual alchemy, but the concept of divergent schools of thought on the same issue was accepted. Consider the extremely heterogeneous composition o

From the article: "The difference is that this approach [Slate's in Current Year] is now tempered by other, graver duties—the need, for instance, to avoid equivocation on matters of morality, fundamental policy, and human rights.&

You conflating political rhetoric with government policies is predictable but no less disappointing. Throughout this thread you have moved the goal posts, begged the question, and strawman'd in circles, all to signal to presumably some

It never ceases to amaze me how this chapter from his book attracts and repels IYIs so consistently.

It is a general courtesy to indicate when you have retroactively edited your post. More to the point, you were responding to a comment that had already introduced the caveat "outside of right wing circles," thereby rendering your

I feel as if you are making an apples to oranges comparison (but I don't perceive any ill will so I am responding in good faith and with no intention to politick) in terms of gender pay gap and decreasing male inclusion in higher educa

It is only a paradox if one has calcified their thinking about the desires of women _in general_ in a particular way. If one starts from the presumption that men and women are exactly the same (in terms of desires and methods), than it is i

I didn't mean to offend. I'm a historian so I tend to think in blocks of time. I often miss the moment. It is a failing. I should have thought before I posted.

The operation to blow up the heavy water plant, as well as a lot of Roennberg's other work, is covered in The Allies Strike Back, 1941-1943 by James Holland.
