MAGA just doesn’t think like that. They think putting women in their proper place isn’t anti women its pro women because if they have traditional values imposed upon them then they will have a more happy fulfilled life. For those with minority associates or family members that they don’t silently hate they rationalize that they are among the “good ones” Ask them if they hate black people and wait for them to tell you that they don’t they hate n words which are somehow different than black people. Their compartmentalization is perfect. They see no tension with believing black people in general are bad but the ones THEY know to be good are good.

I don’t think any credible analyst believes that Russia could take NATO.

The logic behind not using them is either they can’t or they can’t. They didn’t kill a million russians and junk a fair chunk of their existing hardware for nothing. The reasonable perception is that they couldn’t take Ukraine and fight NATO at all whereas without NATO assistance historical or current Ukraine would have actually fallen in 3 days. Their ability to take Ukraine is therefore 100% a function of how well they can keep NATO out of it and nuking Ukraine blows that objective.

The stats say that very few kids are hurt by unknown predators but many in fact are hurt on bikes. The stats also say that predators don’t hunt by waiting slavering over facebook waiting for your to post your kids face and tracking them down in real life.
They mostly hunt by ingratiating themselves with the parents. The minority do so by grooming your kid online by direct communication. A VERY VERY tiny amount do so by waiting for your kid to be vulnerable in real space and snatching them. I have literally never in life even heard of someone who got their kids hurt by posting their faces on facebook but there are countless who got groomed by family, priests, teachers,friends who people trusted.
Turn on your brain.

Kids bicycling is perfectly safe around where i live.
No not it isn’t its in fact far more dangerous than your drive to work by the numbers.
Posting kids’ photos on the internet is never safe unless you take serious precautions (like covering the whole face).
There is no reason to believe someone’s face being posted on the internet is a substantial risk because although kids do get hurt or killed the overwhelming factors are trust by kids and family members and in a tiny minority of cases either opportunity created by the kids being unsupervised and perceptibly vulnerable or tricked into communicating with a bad person.
There is no reason to believe any significant number of cases had its genesis in a situation whereby the perp saw the kids face posted on facebook and said that kid that kid is the one I’m going to kidnap whereas cases that had their genesis in physical opportunity or trust are incredibly common.
How in your mind DOES this work. Do you think that snatchers are furiously combing facebook for kid faces and then doing detective work to identify and surveil the location looking for an opportunity to do the snatch? Does this sound real?
Studies show that we are terrible at understanding the magnitude of risk of uncommon events and drastically over estimate uncommon risk and underestimate commonly faced risks. For example the number of kids who were attacked because their face was posted on facebook in 2025 is probably zero but almost a thousand people per year die on bicycles and 400,000 are injured and end up in the emergency room.
Bikes are very dangerous. Posting your tike’s face… not so much. The dangerous people are statistically the perverts you will stupidly trust because you have shitty judgement WHILE obsessing about not posting their face on facebook.

You can’t just call anything a sacrament and it magically becomes a different thing legally. It’s perfectly ok to have standards for medical procedure and have it apply to all.

Tactical nukes are relatively new
Like new if you time traveled from the 50s We literally conceived of a bazooka launched personal nuke. Generally speaking not much was actually made by anyone and is unlikely to have been maintained as they would have been deemed basically useless for decades as is very expensive to maintain.

You can’t keep such secrets at scale at all. Abortions can be performed by giving someone a couple of pills whilst not being visibly pregnant and thereby avoiding life changing, ruining, or sometimes ending consequences of pregnancy.
It is damn near impossible to keep people from getting abortions because we give women so many reasons to have them. Compared to that almost all circumcisions would stop because it would be impossible to hide any substantial portion of the pop getting or giving them.
You are arguing we shouldn’t enact a policy that would end 99.9% because somewhere someone would be doing 0.1%
- Comment on Circumcision classed as possible child abuse in draft CPS document 2 months ago:
No no it doesn’t again outside of your fantasy. Almost all harm that comes to kids unfortunately comes from people who are close to said kid.
Did you think there are random people on facebook waiting for a picture of a kid so they can somehow find that kid? Your perspective is demented.

Why would Rabbis be immune from the law again? If you cannot legally perform a procedure then you cannot legally perform a procedure. No this wouldn’t violate freedom of religion because holding them to the same law as everyone else isn’t discrimination.
- Comment on Instead of everyone leaving NATO, could everyone else just kick the US out? 2 months ago:
It’s dubious that they have useful nukes available to just drop in an shell to start with. For practical purposes their nukes are fairly large and there are other considerations. Poorly maintained shit may malfunction creating additional doubt as to their military might and it might trigger additional aid by the rest of the world. They can’t actually fight NATO so actions have to be carefully calibrated so as not to bring the rest of the world or even just more of their aid into the fray lest it become even more expensive or even impossible to win.

Nobody says the come and go. They can come on later in life but once there you are basically stuck with it. Reason being is that allergies are an immune reaction. These are mediated by immune cells, antibodies, that bind to the $insert_bad_thing and put a “murder me” sign on its back. These cell are produced by long lived immune cells.
