they are very literally asking for it! they just don't think it applies to them, even though it does.

i can give primer, all you zombies, and the man who folded himself points too. but they are all fundamentally stories about how EVERYTHING IS BROKEN NOW THAT YOU HAVE DONE THIS.

if someone advocates for a system where they specifically wouldn't have been allowed into the country or would have been put into serfdom i just get this twitch, you know

4chan used it a lot, i think, so it connotes channerism and also being above the age of 30

fascy people with non-anglo names always make me want to be extremely racist

basically if you have time travel in your story and your story is not, primarily, ABOUT time travel it always ends up doing something painful imho

absolutely, incredibly bitchmade
but tbh even before jd vance was in it, derek was pretty clearly doing the lord's work and i can nitpick his presentation in a spot or two but there's no reason to make that a main event

obviously we don't want to invent an entire involved alt history for the rest of the show, so we can't kill hitler. so we write an arc about why we're not killing hitler. except it's nonsense
comment in response to
post
i feel like this is one of many consequences of the fact that time travel makes no sense, so you're forced to invent more and more contrivances to make it make sense as your story goes on

this came from another thread but it makes a pretty good standalone shitpost

didn't know that, almost for sure a citizen then. i would bet money it's a penname

tbh the quality of content i have seen over yonder is making me wonder if tpot and the hypewave finally made lesswrong uncool and therefore smart again

"please god just marry your undocumented partner" is a real thing that people need to be told sometimes

like the only thing separating him from someone deportable in that case is being quite successful and from specifically vietnam

he could have stuck the landing on that one by adding a lot of words about how much bootstrap-pulling he had to do. and probably will if it comes to it that he has to talk about it

imho extremely unlikely for a number of reasons especially that it's andy ngo. but like. fundamentally i think it's poor practice to let people litigate what type of refugee someone is

if you are already in a serious relationship with them this is literally true

thanks, swapped it to xcancel and added it to the thread

just for fun here he is roasting a j6er about his clothes and also the insurrection thing xcancel.com/dieworkwear/...

i am basically assuming that this is the case because it would be very in character of him to do it this way
comment in response to
post
that sounds like him but i don't know this story. it would be topical if you remember where it can be found
comment in response to

here's the thread that might be getting him sent to CECOT btw xcancel.com/dieworkwear/...

if not it's more heroic but less funny
comment in response to
post
i am willing to bet he's actually a citizen now and he did not mention this in his original post, he would have qualified for refugee status when he was an adult and eventually got to hiring a lawyer

we had locally sourced homegrown militias do our iraqi ethnic cleansing but it was a similar dynamic, at least domestically, imho. but yeah we're not in a good place

this timeline would have israel lose a bunch of troops sometime around 2027 and turn on bibi after that

iirc it was an insanely radical position in national politics through like, 2006-2007. like totally fine for a safe state senator to do but you could not plausibly have run for national office with that on your record before iraq became extremely unpopular
comment in response to

it would, in fact, prevent the formation of the state of israel

it could be phrased more delicately but if you are in a serious relationship and wondering what you can do to help someone it is very literally the correct answer

"getting married and getting a greencard substantially reduces your need to fear immigration authorities" is boilerplate and anyone being offended by an immigrant saying that is useless
comment in response to
post
people do not have a sense of proportion. anything that is sufficiently hurtful to them specifically is a cosmic evil that cannot be paralleled and that justifies everything, forever. this makes their world view basically unanchored from reality
comment in response to

said this elsewhere in a different way but they are taking 10/7 the same way we took 9/11 in the us. domestically, yelling 9/11 conveyed carte blanche, and we literally did not understand that other people in the world did not see it that way when justfiying eg fallujah or camp bucca

did you consider all the labor practices that went into your hitler-killing gun. was the power source environmentally sustainable. did you say you were killing hitler for the holocaust without taking a correct position on the current state of israel
comment in response to
post
if you were going back in time to murder hitler on here people would find a way to be mad that you didn't genuflect to them enough

we haven't shown any signs of success at either of those things but a lot can happen in fifty years

he's consistently more interesting than standard core ml work for seeking more general approaches always
comment in response to
post
so basically things done to other people and things done to you land differently. you could also see this in the us invoking 9/11 constantly while killing substantially more people in iraq

natsec is really expansive and i am pretty sure they can cut him off from all resources if they really want to. probably adx and not cecot tho
