Yes.

This guy…

@RaefOnevah @BobHaase9988 @avidseries It exaggerates Musk’s immigration status and only highlights the differences between him and the large swath of illegal immigrants targeted by law enforcement. It makes a large number of illegals look bad by comparison. It’s just not a sound argument.

@HowRYouBud @BobHaase9988 @avidseries Please explain.

The rhetorical tactic of attributing criticism of illegals to the entire class of all immigrants is in such despicable bad faith — almost as bad as not being able to discern a moral difference between people who submit to a legal process and those who have contempt for it.

@AllisonGuerrier The bullet lifts McCarthy off his feet. Amazing. Also notable are what could have been Reagan’s last public words:

Remember the “Reagan Era” that everyone talks about and how great he was in all things for America and the world? The “Reagan Era” never would have happened at all if Tim McCarthy hadn’t jumped in front of the bullet on this day in 1981. Tim saved the world that day. So did the others on the PPD. But it was really only Tim. Thinking about the anniversary of John Hinkley Junior Day this morning and other than the fact that I finally feel like a “real” grown up now because I’m in my 50’s and have such a vivid memory of something that happened that long ago, I can not stop thinking about Tim McCarthy. Every year I think about him on this day because I know and believe Tim saved the world. There would have BEEN no “Reagan Era” if Tim hadn’t jumped in front of the bullet. I cannot stress that enough. Could you imagine where we would be as a nation if John Hinkley Junior had succeeded that day and Reagan had been killed? God Bless America. God Bless the United States Secret Service. God Bless President Reagan. Most of all, GOD BLESS TIM MCCARTHY! I never met Tim McCarthy but I’ve heard about him from others at USSS. I hope I get to meet him one day. I know I will be genuinely star struck if I ever get to be in the same room as the guy despite the fact that I am NOT very easily impressed. The American people have NO IDEA how good we have it when 90% of the country are the most selfish, spoiled, superficial, stupidest population of people to ever walk the planet. #FightEvil #JesusHatesAPussy

@RepMikeCollins “Make America great again” would have been his last public words spoken if the bullet was one inch to the left. Not implying anything, just thought it was interesting when I heard it.

On this day in history in 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest outside a Washington, D.C., hotel by a man named John Hinckley Jr. Hinckley, standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots at the president, hitting Reagan and three of his attendants. As the president was being prepared for surgery at George Washington University Hospital, he joked to his wife, “Honey, I forgot to duck.” He then said to the surgeons, “Please tell me you’re all Republicans.” One of the surgeons replied, “Today, we’re all Republicans.” The next day, the 70-year-old president returned to some of his executive duties, and on April 11, he returned to the White House.

“Make America great again.” - The last public words spoken by President Ronald Reagan before he was shot 45 years ago today.

@Amberlitz1 @aakashgupta I think shared happiness is beautiful. Could use more of it today.

@HowRYouBud @aakashgupta That assumption is depressing, and I’m glad things are changing, but we have missed out on a lot until now.

This study is real. It started in 1938. 87 years later, it's still running. And the actual findings are wilder than the tweet makes them sound. The Harvard Study of Adult Development tracked 724 men from two completely different worlds. 268 Harvard sophomores from the classes of 1939-1944, including a young John F. Kennedy. And 456 boys from the poorest neighborhoods in Boston. Researchers followed both groups for their entire lives. Questionnaires every two years. Physician reports. Brain scans. Blood draws. Personal interviews. Most of them are dead now. Only 19 of the original Harvard cohort are still alive, all in their mid-90s. The finding that went viral was "good relationships predict happiness." True, but that's the sanitized version. The unsanitized version: men who scored highest on "warm relationships" earned $141,000 more per year at peak salary than men who scored lowest. IQ made almost no difference. Men with IQs between 110 and 115 earned statistically the same as men with IQs above 150. Relationships didn't just predict happiness. They predicted the money too. The study also found that the single greatest destroyer of health, marriage, and career was alcoholism. And that the warmth of your relationship with your mother predicted your work effectiveness decades later, but had zero correlation with life satisfaction at age 75. Your relationship with your father predicted your adult anxiety levels. The current director, Robert Waldinger, put it simply: loneliness is as powerful a killer as smoking. 87 years of data on what makes a life work. Wealth, IQ, and social class barely moved the needle. Whether anyone actually knew you moved everything.

@BCNY212 @ColumbiaBugle @KatyinIndy Always the coward’s way out with these people.

@BCNY212 @ColumbiaBugle @KatyinIndy Nearly 90% is close enough to homogeneous that you should rethink your comment. You can still defend the changes, but being pedantic undermines your argument.

A major part of what makes Japan wonderful is that it is very homogenous. It’s a nation of Japanese people, doing things that Japanese like, with a unique Japanese culture. America was homogenous before 1965. Then we opened our borders. But we can become more homogenous again.

@g_lamarche @aakashgupta I asked if your mother and grandmother would see marriage as slavery. You provided your accounts of their marriages. Would they agree? Your accounts paint your grandfather and father as bad people. Is that accurate?

My mom raised 7 kids and had a half acre of gardens from which she processed most of our foods. She also made most of our clothes. My dad made well above the median income - but when she wanted to replace her threadbare decades old winter jacket - he made her get a job cleaning other peoples houses to pay for it.

@Amberlitz1 @aakashgupta I think it was assumed that adult men and women had similar aspirations and measures of happiness, because when each reached adulthood they were likely paired with the other. That they shared happiness. There are definitely plenty of measurements of women’s happiness now.

@HowRYouBud @aakashgupta It’s sad that it didn’t matter to them to find out whether women were happy and why. At least I think that’s changing now.

@g_lamarche @aakashgupta Ok. Now compare that to the experience of your mother, you and women in general. Do you see how that example undermines any claim that marriage = slavery?

@HowRYouBud @aakashgupta My grandmother was married off at age 12 to a 38 year old drunken brute. She bore him 14 children and managed his farm for 40+ years while he worked the railroad. When he died - he left 100% of his estate to the CHURCH. = 100% SLAVERY.

@IsMusk48074 @avidseries First, she didn’t address what he wrote. Work from there to the other substantive differences.

@avidseries Aren’t you the one arguing in bad faith here? AOC is responding to Elon Musk—and it’s widely known that he violated the terms of his student visa in the 1990s.

@BobHaase9988 @avidseries Can you really not see you’re making the opposite point you think you’re making?

So Musk came to the US on a student visa, didn't enroll in school and started a company instead. Investors in his company were worried he would be deported. Apparently the contemptible jackass who rails on illegals was one himself, and didn't give an f about the legal process.

Celebrating a song that was released only 26 years after the U.S. nuked their country. They started making movies about radiation-caused monsters 20 years after Hiroshima and the U.S. wrote their new constitution. By the 80s, they threatened US dominance. Amazing.

Actually, if you look at their low birth rates, they have the *lowest* penetration— never mind.

@Amberlitz1 @aakashgupta Yes. I don’t think they anticipated the Sex Wars in the 1930s.

@aakashgupta Are you telling me they left out women from this study? This is just the men’s results?

@LexSamDaniel @aakashgupta Is there evidence of that?

@aakashgupta Are we sure the direction of causality isn't reversed in that making money makes it to where men can get a spouse?

@g_lamarche @aakashgupta Did your mother and grandmother see marriage that way? Sincere question, since your comment is in response to men’s views over generations.

@aakashgupta having a personal slave makes men happy, what a shock (not!)
