That is a very reasonable approach.

In Germany your son would be considered normal.
But conflating 4th largest city as a good think does not make sense.
As City of mexico is a big city and Bangladesh too ..
Food. in Houston: Go to Chinatown or 1-2 BBQ places
Beach? please don't tell me galveston is a beach....
Inside the loop? Outside loop? -> you know what I mean
Is that conservative places offer better quality of life?
Or is that "crazy christians" have same values that make life in society better?
I never understood why you go miles and miles to be oppressed.
In some cases you run from your country, cross several countries illegally then risk your life to be oppressed by evil white cis men?
I am a latino and the best places for me living in US was in the white cis conservative neighborhoods.
Do I agree with all their thinking? No
Do I want to change them? Hell no. They must be doing something right so I respect their laws and customs.
There is no law saying that US has to be a charity country or has to cater to everyone and anyone.
I am not seeing free work visa to US americans in Mexico or Latin america countries.
So why should we expect it from US?
And here came the downvote rain
The abuse of that or the "cigarretization" is the problem.
One thing is to get real organic tabbaco and smoke in small quantities not inhalling only getting nicotine thru gum lininings.
About the benefits in cognition [1][4] alzheimers and parkinson [2], helping with covid [3] and even testosterone [5]
Cigarretes + additives are very bad you can see the difference here [6].
Is tobbaco bad? yes. Is nicotine bad maybe.
Is cigarrete bad? Yes very
Is Cigar bad? Yes but not as cigarrete.
TlDr -> Go for pure nicotine or cigars if you need neuroprotection.

"Incidentally, IQ is a hilariously flawed mechanism for demonstrating this as it has been demonstrated to be extremely susceptible to nurture over nature"
Nurture has its effects too but still is WAY lower than genetics. It seems you always avoid to refute science and goes tangent in personal attacks.
I must refer to a study using Twins that were adopted in different families followed by 30 years. [1]
results:
"
Proportion of variance in IQ attributable to environmentally mediated effects of parental IQs was estimated at .01 [95% CI 0.00, 0.02]
• Heritability was estimated to be 0.42 [95% CI 0.21, 0.64]
• Parent-offspring correlations for educational attainment polygenic scores show no evidence of adoption placement effect"*
I am really enjoying discussing with you. Thank you

Some stages in life are better in Europe other are in US.
I lived in Both.
Want to live hard and play hard? Having two weeks vacations as a good thing? Go to US.
Want to drive YOUR car, have YOUR house fill the tank and eat bad food? US.
Want to have more 2 children, have 30 days + sick leave and well .. work slow? Go to Europe.
Europe is like a cozy trap, you enter, feels nice public transportation, healthcare, all things already decided for you and cozy.
But then you are on your 60's the Medical specialist has a long queue, your treatments are limited. Then the state is telling you which doctor you should go, which treatment is good for you, etc.
Then You don't feel so good to bring groceries on the public transport.
Then You don't feel so connected to the local culture.
I am not doing a US VS Germany thread. But OP should looks in how he "fits" on each place.
Some people discover that food can be delicious, cheap and healthy in Europe.
Other people discover the power of individualism in US.
Are you going to fit on local culture or be in the expat circle?
Are your kids be in the local school or the "new school" made for new people?
As you are happy please enjoy real food and join me in the war against "olive garden" The "real italian food" from others food chains that claim it :)
Then taxes[1].
"As shown in the figure, the overall tax burden on wages is roughly 17% higher in Germany than in the U.S. While social security contributions (employer and employee) account for less than half of the U.S. wage tax burden, they account for more than two-thirds in Germany."
[1] - https://www.chicagofed.org/publications/chicago-fed-letter/2...
How about where you fit better?
Think about:
1. You want to call a friend to drink coffee chat? Which place is better?
2. Your kid is going to school and later do university? Which place is better?
3. Kid is sick and you need a hand where it would be better?
In Europe you will be low middle class for at least 10 years and then middle class for the rest. Considering US standards.
There is no mobility in Europe and even if you are promoted taxes will take care of that.
US is more like a "A la carté" menu. You pay what you ask for. Europe is like a free refill buffet.
It is not only about compensation but how you do perceive freedom, social family and future.
Hope that helps
All genetics tests, all medicine all diseases related to asians does not exists?
It may hurt our ego (me included) not being born as Asian and enjoying extra points in IQ but that does not mean we will not have a fulfilling life.
There are several very smart asian people being overworked pipetting in the labs right now.
What if race realism is reality? Does it makes your actions and life less?
The fear of acknowledging it is higher than the effects.
I do criticize all religions and judaism is not free of criticism.
No religion or person has the claim on "righteous" .
talk to the chabad people then
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/5458266/jewis...
"And in a case where the childless husband of a girl who is three years and one day old dies, if his brother, the yavam, engages in intercourse with her, he acquires her as his wife"
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/5458257/jewis...
"It means that the Torah does not deem the intercourse of one who is less than nine years old to be like the intercourse of one who is at least nine years old, as for a male’s act of intercourse to have the legal status of full-fledged intercourse the minimum age is nine years. And Shmuel says: The Torah does not deem the intercourse of a child who is less than three years old to be like that of one who is three years old."
These are opinions funded in religous law that are followed by religious people. For these people it is only natural and virtues to follow this.
This is hate speech.
/sarcasm
It has Slinghshot-11[1] as interconnection having a raw power of 200GB speed, plus caching and other heavy optimizations.
It is not only the gpu instances but the way it interconnects. This model has even containers available for use.[2]
It is more open.

That is a very strong "stimulus" to keep people working and being integrated. Do we have the same today?
"And yes, all of this is easily findable public data."
Please may you provide the link with first-generation employment status?
I did not refer race.
I am not ignoring but I am alerting that them may be BETTER served with cultures that conform with their ideologies and aptitudes.
Why create a cultural shock? Why make the person struggle to be accepted?
How many generations for me to be considered "japanese"? Or I would force japanese to me consider one of them?
Are we moving goal post?
1. after three months for asylum seekers who are not obliged to live in a reception facility,
2. after six months of asylum seekers with minor children,
3. after nine months of asylum seekers without minor children (even despite the obligation to live in a reception facility).
Comparing to US A 565 Authorization to work in US is at 6-9 months wait.
that study data was from 2016 onwards... There was enough time..
They are public right?
Right?
Intelligence as tested by IQ by several govts and organizations is mostly genetic[1].
It means that the "nurture" part is not so much important as people think.
Heck you can even see with brothers / cousins the differences.
When we say "gifted" it means we are selecting and optimizing for IQ. Thus the "inequality". You will always see more Asians.
To make more equal we need to remove/disqualify asians.
If a profession/skill is very related to a characteristic/feature as IQ then I want the best there.
Not everyone is equal and not everyone has the same skills. If you check [1] you will see they studied TWINS adopted in families. There is no better "social intervention" than adopting someone, provide the same food/structure that all on family have.
Then you can see here the confirmation in a soft way [2] and [3].
"and we consistently find that considering performance on the SAT/ACT, particularly the math section, substantially improves the predictive validity of our decisions with respect to subsequent student success at the Institute."
I am not gifted but I do benefit from gifted people work.

Lets suppose it is not only 5%.
Maybe 20%.
Would it be fair to buy a company that 20% of its "customers" are fake?
He is forcing twitter to be honest or to at least audit it.
Well you could use a vibrator then.
Quieter and more close to the body...
Keep me going forward!
Because everything against the current narrative is "hate speech".
Then the nation should filter its immigrants by IQ and promote natality for the most smart stratum of its own people.
As research using twins followed by 30 years in adoptive family claims majority of IQ is genetic.[1]

Don't worry. Whole MSM bash white people and they are ok.
You will be fine.
