I don't think that's fair. I got flag bombed due to some clearly heterodox opinions. Maybe I stepped a bit over the edge of disrespect in the comment above. I apologize.

They don't, at least, not to the extent that they exist in blue states. Texas and Florida do not have programs as extensive as Maryland's. Texas doesn't have a good behavior program for inmates' terms at all.
>(Also, Maryland had a republican governor up until recently)
Immaterial, the governor does not pass laws, the legislature does. Maryland General Assembly has a supermajority of Democrats in both houses.
>That didn’t acknowledge anything that I said and was no different than the grandfather comment lol.
It's only "no difference" if words no longer have meaning, which is in vogue for leftists these days.
>You just pretty much reworded your original comment.
Again, only if words no longer have meaning. You can vote and tolerate differently.
LaPere was openly pro-BLM, which pushed "soft-on-crime" policies all over the US.
This is LeopardsAteMyFace to a T. We all know what would happen if we posted this story on /r/LeopardsAteMyFace though.
Doesn't take much to impress the naïve. I didn't unearth anything, others did.
>You'd give practicing detectives a real run for their money.
Maybe detectives in your lead water pipe county. Most definitely not mine.
She posted all over Instagram for everyone to see how much she supported BLM and other leftist nonsense. You deserve what you tolerate.
Linus looks like he's back to his old ways. I should take a closer look at illumos.
Yes, because it's apt.
>I don't think it means what you think it means.
We both know exactly what it means and it's clear that its aptness bugs you.
>But I'm not really interested in tugging on this thread because it's extremely tedious to argue definitions of words in a language where the dictionaries are descriptive, not proscriptive.
I'm not interested in it either, but it's clear: the definition and proscriptive usage doesn't suit your narrative.
>You can't replace a culture via immigration that has, as a cornerstone, "Come join us."
Yes you absolutely can. If you replace the "come join us" leftist people with ISIS, surprise surprise, you've been replaced. QED.
>That's like saying the population of a school has been "replaced" because it graduated an entire generation of students and a new generation is there now.
This is a hilariously not well thought out example because it actually proves my point. Yes, if you replace the population of a school with a different ethnic group, you're replacing the original ethnic group. This is like saying if the trout population in a stream goes down, and you replace the dwindling population with salmon, "the relevant continuity [of fish] is unchanged." You've kept the fish population the same, but you replaced the trout with salmon (who are not native there). Thanks for proving my point. QED.
>One way out for Japan would be to shift their cornerstones.
Or maybe Japan doesn't need "a way out".
>If that's not on the table, if a younger generation unserved by the status quo can't find a way to put it on the table... Good luck.
Homogenous nations will do fine, even if they upset your IMMIGRATION and unlimited capitalism pyramid scheme Gods.
You know, regular men, who surround themselves with no one but are still self-absorbed-to-the-death. They've earned it, and fo' fkn sho' they goin' collec'.
Regular men dammit! I can't say it any harder.
Not at all, not unless you use some Orwellian tactics to completely redefine what ethnic replacement is.
>An awful lot of Americans, for example, don't see it as "replacement" when people from Mexico, Canada, El Salvador, Spain, or wherever come join them.
Just because there's a large group that's delusional or willfully ignorant to what's happening doesn't make it true. An awful lot of Americans think men can get pregnant, or climate change isn't anthropogenic or happening at all. They're being replaced whether they bury their head in the sand or not.
>Their cultural identity isn't defined very tightly at all by who their parents were.
Of course it is, just like it is in Japan. Your common ancestry and common ancestral grounds are core attributes of what we call ethnic groups.
>This is not universally true in the country, of course, and some of the larger political fights are over this notion.
As covered above, it's true whether one side believes it or not. No doubt it's become a large political fight from what I've seen. I agree with you there.
>If Japan feels much more strongly that ancestry matters profoundly, well, that's going to be a rub for them moving forward.
We do. Many countries in Asia and around the world do, which is why many of them (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, etc.) are ethnically homogeneous.
Yes, replacing. You're replacing native Ainu with foreigners. That is by definition replacing.
The logic is 100% consistent.
Not at all, not unless you use some Orwellian tactics to completely redefine what an ethnic group is.
>Geographically, it's obviously not replacement. "People lived here, now people live here" is just continuity.
A geographic area is not a "people" nor an ethnic group. Shoving more people into the landmass we know as Japan may be good for the economy of the landmass, but it won't be good for the ethnic group we call the Japanese.
>Genetically, who cares.
Common ancestry is one of the core attributes of ethnic groups. The Japanese people and ethnologists care
>Culturally, that's up to the people.
"If we replace the Japanese with Appalachian Whites, it's up to the people to decide if they're being replaced or not."
Yes, you made my point for me: if you replace the Japanese with foreigners, they are being replaced.
QED.
Not at all, it's a scarily accurate definition. There's a new church of the "woke", complete with scripture, high priestesses, and orthodoxy:
As a NEM 3.0 proposed decision looms, here are four key-points to consider:
-Rooftop solar customers are pushing electric system costs onto non-solar customers
-NEM benefits have largely gone to wealthier customers
-It is vital to equity and climate progress to ensure affordable electric rates
-Smart policy can support the continued growth of rooftop solar while achieving more equitable outcomes
Poor attempt at shaping the narrative, for anyone else wondering what the point of those non sequitur is.
Ah yes, the newspeak term "at risk" for describing a community that's better off after delusional fascistic mods we're rightfully removed. It's like an abusive partner that tells their victim how shitty their life would be without them.
Subreddits are not mods' personal fiefdoms. They learned the hard way who actually owns the platform (Reddit Inc.), and who the platform serves (the users).
Indeed you can't get rid of classrooms, but I see lots of schools with temporary buildings that can be removed. You could also consolidate schools, but it may be difficult to forecast and plan.
Those should scale somewhat linearly too though. Consolidate classrooms to keep the same student-to-teacher ratio and you'll need less teachers. Less teachers means less administration. Less children means less buildings, etc.
There's so much dead weight in administration that can be cut. This may force the hand.
Not at all, I live in a rural area.
>For some remote regions, blizzards taking out the electrical grid is a real concern.
Effectively every fossil fuel powered heater being installed requires electricity for the fans to work.
>You need a local mechanism to generate heat and an on-site propane/oil tank is the only realistic option.
A backup generator that runs on propane. You'd need a backup generator to begin with even for propane heating, so just go full electric with a heat pump.

This has been insanely effective. Everyone was walking on eggshells around these passive aggressive cry bullies up until just recently. People are starting to see through the BS and the power dynamic is shifting.
Leftist and their leftist policies invite as many immigrants as they possibly can to an area with limited housing. Then it's shockedpikachu.jpg when the reality of supply and demand occurs and they clutch their pearls and ask "what could we have done to stop this?!" When in reality land, conservatives are telling them "we told you so". So instead of taking ownership of their mistakes thus proving conservatives were right, they gaslight everyone into thinking anything even remotely pointing towards the influx of immigrants is an issue is racist, effectively shielding themselves from blame.
This tactic of blaming any opposition as "racist" has been insanely effective in the West for the past four or so decades. Reality is catching up, and people left and right are seeing through the BS.
No one hates the immigrants, who wouldn't leave a third world country for Canada? The blame is firmly on the leftist politicians in Canada that are speed running the housing crisis.

That was fake news. There were no "unsavory connotations" before. I can safely discard anything that author states from then on.
EDIT: And like clockwork, the author has #BLM and pronouns in his profile.
