I don't know. The DV stats are what they are. Women initiate more nonreciprocated DV (because it's wrong to hit a girl) and are at least close to equal when it comes to DV. And yet, men have one DV shelter in the country and women have over 2,000. She seems to dismiss all of this.Hunt wrote:Very sympathetic review IMO.

Ok, Pluckrose-- let's "go there"-- and adopt a "my body my choice" policy for all the things which kill men prematurely.

So if you ever run across anyone complaining about (((jews))), see if you can side track them into a discussion about the latest example of a "nigger" blaming whitey for all their problems.

Not a bad analogy. Though the more intellectual segregationists just say that the white majority does oppress the black minority (they'll attempt to qualify it, but admit it happens), that this is an inevitable part of any diverse society, and it's yet another reason to establish ethnostates.deLurch wrote:

Researchers from the University of Tuebingen and the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, both in Germany, have decoded the genome of ancient Egyptians for the first time, with unexpected results.
Publishing its findings in Nature Communications, the study concluded that preserved remains found in Abusir-el Meleq, Middle Egypt, were closest genetic relatives of Neolithic and Bronze Age populations from the Near East, Anatolia and Eastern Mediterranean Europeans.
Modern Egyptians, by comparison, share much more DNA with sub-Saharan populations.
The findings have turned years of theory on its head, causing Egyptologists to re-evaluate the region's history while unlocking new tools for scientists working in the field.

Brother Malcolm said, similar to Marcus Garvey's quote, when the relics of an African civilization are unearth or discovered, it will be vehemently denied and refuted by racist European educators and scholars despite the enormous amount of evidence that proves otherwise. Brother Malcolm, in this dynamic discussion, breaks down the archeological wonders of Ancient Kemet and also the fact that these African people were master chemists. The relics of these Ancient people prove this. Brother Malcolm has always stressed the importance of Black Americans reconnecting to their African heritage.

If true this is some high grade horseshit. Principles don't mean squat to people without any. But even if they did, "common understanding" in civil engineering is often wrong, as materials science is a lot more than simple physics writ large. And even when you know what you're doing and are trying to do things right, mistakes happen.The UK uses a 'principles-based' approach to regulation which puts an onus on companies to operate safely, based on common understanding of risks and the technology available.
I can't speak for the US as a whole, but here in Los Angeles characterizing the approach to building safety as "highly specific 'rules-based'" is wildly inaccurate.This differs to the highly specific 'rules-based' approach to regulation taken in the United States.
Supporters of the principles-based approach say it avoids the emergence of loopholes and means companies have to take account of new information on risks immediately, rather than wait for a new regulation to be drafted.

The companion of his who made that apology video I referenced earlier also tweeted that women are “powerful” enough to “deal with things like workplace harassment to rape.” As if power is in accepting a culture in which women are second-class citizens, in which misogyny and workplace harassment and rape are the norm. Fuck that. I’ll never settle for that. You’re damn right I’m powerful. After everything I’ve been put through by Carl and other men just like him, I’m still powerful enough to go out there and try to change it.

It would be dangerous, I think, for insurance companies to be seen trying to wriggle out of paying for these building, at least until the government says it will step in and indemnify them (which it likely will, if the boards of the insurance companies are infested by buddies of the cabinet).free thoughtpolice wrote: What about fire insurance?

Nothing like blaming others instead of taking some degree of responsibility for our own predicaments - no doubt some people get dealt shitty hands, but to coin a phrase, one has to play 'em or lay 'em down.And yet most criticism in the Muslim world is directed outward, at the West. This prejudice — what Fouad Ajami has called (referring to the Arab world) “a political tradition of belligerent self-pity” — is undoubtedly one of Islam’s biggest obstacles. It makes information that contradicts orthodox belief irrelevant, and it closes off debate about the nature and history of Islam.
Usually when working on rented properties here, cheapest is the preferred option, particularly on bigger value items, like boilers for example. My home town, Exeter, has a big university and the way many properties are treated would make spending lots of money on quality fittings futile, less scrupulous landlords can extend that attitude into more essential works too.Malky wrote:Ouch! big service charge on your horizon.
