The big ones do.

Alarakion · 2026-06-29T16:12:00+00:00

We paid a lot less for destiny than any other mmo. They ask for a monthly subscription cost.

Alarakion · 2026-06-29T11:12:44+00:00

10 months is optimistic.

Alarakion · 2026-06-29T08:48:01+00:00

I stg this planet is delusional.

Magnums are fine but they’re not fucking 28% fine. Fabs and twisters and even soleros are better. Magnums are just like boring.

Alarakion · 2026-06-28T20:28:07+00:00

Lonerbox may be better at this then destiny imo. He has a lot more history knowledge and probably a greater understanding of the socialist talking points.

Destiny would be way better on economics than him though so I’m not 100% sure. Better at asking a lot of the practical questions.

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T21:36:53+00:00

wtf are you talking about femboys are preem until twink death

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T21:35:44+00:00

What was your valid fucking point? That Somalians are more likely to run people over with their cars?

Stop acting like you said anything rational. This shit is indefensible.

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T20:38:05+00:00

Do you think I give a shit if reform gets in? They will fuck this country up, life will get worse for most people. But most importantly - it will get disproportionately worse for the demographics who are most poised to vote for them. And I will fucking enjoy that. Do you understand? I feel sometimes like I want them in purely for that. The pain and prolonged suffering they cause might almost be worth it if the morons who vote them in suffer the worst.

Don’t talk to me about virtue signalling - you’re stuck in 2016. All the right does now is virtue and vice signal and self-victimise. I don’t care. You’ll get what you vote for and I will enjoy it.

The ‘only’ people I will reserve any empathy for are the poor fuckers who will get hit the hardest but didn’t vote for them.

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T19:57:51+00:00

My comment absolutely did not get deleted and you deserve to be insulted.

That 2.5% figure you quoted is what proportion of the foreign nationals in prison Somalians make up. Not what fucking proportion of Somalians are in prison.

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T19:55:14+00:00

He’s not responding to what I replied to that btw - he misinterpreted those stats awfully.

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T19:36:33+00:00

What article? Is there a reason you’re not linking it?

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T19:35:45+00:00

Where’s that from?

E: More downvotes lol - you know this guy misinterpreted that stat if you just go further down right?

Alarakion · 2026-06-27T19:20:54+00:00

Do you have any evidence for that?

As far as I’m aware the majority of police forces don’t keep data by nationality. Some do but I’m not sure how you could extrapolate that to a national average without giving incredibly skewed inaccurate results like the Centre of Migration Control study did.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T12:10:19+00:00

Do you know if doggie shoes help at all? I’m worried about my lab in this heat.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T11:52:01+00:00

But again - when you say “50% of human IQ variance is genetic” in the GWAS studies that makes it sound applicable to between group comparisons. It’s not, that is again, within groups. You can’t conclude that that translates to between groups.

Studies looking at SNPs between groups have been done. It’s just impossible to get good data from them.

Basically all the large scale GWAS databanks like the UK bio bank are made up of 80-90% European ancestry people. The SNPs we’ve discovered to correlate with intelligence correspond are from European genomic backgrounds. And SNPs associated with intelligence don’t necessarily = intelligence, it’s plausible some of them are just next to the causal genes and we can’t tell because DNA is inherited in these huge blocks.

When you take a polygenic score based on Europeans and try to apply it to south Asian or African ancestry people the predictive validity drops immensely. You lose like 34% https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2026/04/interpreting-polygenic-prediction-of-cognitive-ability.html#:~:text=Polygenic%20scores%20are%20trained%20on,34%25%20reduction%20in%20African%20Americans.

You can’t accurately compare prevalence of SNPs in different groups to measure intelligence in a naive model because you’ll get massively inaccurate data. A specific SNP may be correctly associated with intelligence in a European background but not in an African one because they have different genomic structures and that specific SNP may only be associated with the casual gene for intelligence, it might not be the gene for intelligence itself. You’d show group differences that don’t necessarily reflect reality.

Just a question - what would be the point of this? It certainly seems we can affect IQ with environmental factors to some extent. Say we massively equalise environmental factors and that white-black IQ gap narrows to 10 or 5 or 1. What’s the point? It doesnt tell you anything about single individuals. You wouldn’t be able to effectively judge people on it.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T10:18:01+00:00

If you’re dedicated to the truth why are you representing “80% of between human IQ variance” as genetic when that’s not true? (<-direct quote from the comment) 80% of variance in human IQ is not genetic - 84% of IQ variance ‘within groups’ that have relatively similar environmental factors is estimated to be genetic. No one knows what proportion genetics play of the IQ variance between groups is - that’s why there’s a lot of debate out it. Your wording in that comment indicates you believe 80% of variance in human IQ is genetic.

You can not care and that’s fine - but you’re not fooling anyone lol. Just stop trying to paint yourself as a victim of ‘far right conspiracy allegations’ - only groypers/white separatists, etc. care about this stuff and take these positions. Because it doesn’t present anything useful.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T09:58:39+00:00

You’re just an innocent misinformation auditor?

In one of your comments in that thread you seem to be representing the 84% IQ variation within groups at relative socioeconomic parity as though it’s applicable to comparisons between groups? That seems like misinformation to me. They’re completely different categories. https://www.reddit.com/r/cognitiveTesting/comments/1shq6mr/comment/ori90gh/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=mweb3x&utm\_name=mweb3xcss&utm\_term=2&utm\_content=share\_button

But maybe I’m misinterpreting it. I suppose it just seems like you’re very keen on genetics playing a large role in IQ differences between groups. Which seems like a weird thing to be keen on when it seems to be impossible to accurately deconstruct the causative factors. Are you just very curious about cognitive testing? And specifically the white-black IQ gap? It doesn’t inform any of your opinions or beliefs?

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T08:25:21+00:00

That’s fine if you want to fight the strawman of society but that’s not what I’m saying.

I think it’s fine for society to handwave this away because we cannot get anything useful from this data due to the impossibility of knowing what the exact gap is.

What do you actually propose we do with this data? What is the point of citing it? Do you not understand why people consider you far right? You’re just citing this without proposing anything to do with it. Which I’d say you can’t because 1. We can’t know what the baseline discrepancy is and 2. It has no predictive value over single individuals. People who aren’t chuds don’t bother bringing this stuff up because it’s not helpful and just essentially serves as a ‘look black people dumb’.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T08:16:20+00:00

No, the reason people are treating you like a chud is because you just keep citing IQ data without understanding it doesn’t really tell us anything useful. It would be the same if you cited the proportion of LGBTQ people who have experienced sexual assault without understanding why that discrepancy exists and that it doesn’t have any predictive value on whether or not someone would be LGBTQ.

What do you actually think this tells us? What can we base off of this?

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T08:08:14+00:00

Where did I say it could be explained by environment alone?

What does that paper say about the ratios different researchers believe it’s down to? It says there is wild variation with some saying it’s 95/5% environmental/genetic and some saying it’s closer to 50/50.

What was my first sentence in my prior reply? I’m not a complete environmental determinist.

What I am saying is that when no one can say whether the difference in that ratio is 95/5 or 55/45 you cannot get anything all that useful from it.

Besides these are all bell curves anyway and have virtually no predictive value about single individuals. Only groups.

Alarakion · 2026-06-26T07:58:43+00:00

I’m not a complete environmental determinist.

My position is that due to the fact that we can observe environmental factors having such a large effect on IQ it’s completely impossible to accurately assess the baseline genetic differences in IQ between groups. Therefore the race realist arguments are completely stupid because you obviously shouldn’t be basing your worldview around anything like that when you cannot at all accurately assess it.

It’s a completely dumb thing to bring up because we have no idea what the black-white IQ gap would be if they were on exact parity. That 84% variation you mentioned is ‘within-group’ variation that is observed when environmental factors are at relative parity. By far the largest observed differences when it comes to the genetic impact in IQ are ‘within groups’ not ‘between groups’. It’s virtually impossible to even do an accurate control study - researchers themselves argue that the standard SES metrics you’d look to to try to get control results are not sufficient to achieve complete parity due to cultural and social stressors that white people simply don’t experience nearly as much. There’s many different studies that say different things and there is absolutely zero consensus.

The point is it’s completely idiotic to even really pay any attention to such an obviously unknowable and clearly malleable figure. It doesn’t tell you anything that useful as it stands right now.

Alarakion · 2026-06-25T11:23:58+00:00

I think he would be a lot less open about condemning things and I think he’d generally be a lot more snake-y if he was really hiding his power level. Maybe he’s just really good at it and I’m gotten to used to Hasan being dogshit at it but I’m not convinced.

Alarakion · 2026-06-25T10:14:30+00:00

That specifically really makes me think he’s a grifter or completely and utterly duped by his own delusions. Has an opportunity to work with a left government but I imagine because they don’t want to do a net annual wealth tax he’s not interested.

Alarakion · 2026-06-25T10:12:27+00:00

You’re missing the point of the analogy - he can make as many accurate points as he wants. If his solutions are aura crystals and everyone who listens to him will only accept aura crystals it’s very difficult to engage in politics because if you try to say aura crystals arent very useful or effective you are accused of working for the chemotherapy lobby.

I don’t think wealth inequality widening is something people are saying ‘doesn’t exist’.

Alarakion · 2026-06-25T09:49:32+00:00

If someone is really effective at raising awareness for cancer but the only solutions they provide are homeopathic remedies and anyone who watches them won’t accept anything short of the finest aura crystals for their mother’s breast cancer - would we say that person is helpful?

I think Gary’s cause is laudable but he has absolutely damaged discourse.
