Ugh. I still remember having to slog through 'Flowers for Algernon' as a kid.
I could read through Jurrassic Park in a day or two, but that book took me weeks. I fucking hated that book. Still do.
Maybe schools should try and push reading for pleasure than trying to cram some sort of philosophical sob story down my throat.
A dark part of me wonders if the women who do this are acting out because they didn't get treated the way they really want to be treated.
How they want to be treated I leave up as an exercise for the reader to come up with.
Jewish IQ superiority is a myth.
Lady, unless your a family member or I'm in a relationship with you, I could care less if you were being lynched or set on fire.
Go deal with your own shit and leave me the fuck alone.
It's because they mis-apply the Golden Rule.
Women want sexually secessful men. Ergo, they think men want sexually successful women. They either don't realize or are incapable of understanding that the dating situation for men and women exist in two different worlds.
If you apply this reasoning to what women do, alot of things start to make sense.
Arbery was a piece of shit who should have been locked up, and the only reason he wasn't locked up was cause he was black.
Remember kids, the only reason the guys who killed him got lynched was after the feds got involved. All the local guys? They just shrugged and called it for what it was - a stain on the community who finally fucked around enough to find out.
And the solution to this, from my point of view, is for men to rightfully reassert their positions within Christianity as the leaders.
Part of the issue is male leadership in the church. IE, the priesthood.
No, not in the way you're thinking. See, I had a weird upbringing, so I'm familiar with what men have to go through to become an actual priest. And one of the things involved is a college education.
Priests aren't stupid. I think most of them are very, very smart. Educated, at the very least. Smart enough to realize what could be the most threatening factor to civilization as it stands - single, violent young men at odds and bereft from the world as a whole.
Hence the overall push - to start young, and keep pushing the modern interpretation of scripture, shorn of historical context, neutered of violence and pushed overall to be docile.
Do I have proof? No. This is pure theory, pure conjecture. And likely just one factor among many. But I don't think I'm wrong. We'll see.
The worst is having to sit and watch all the flood of smug, sanctimonious tourists do their victory laps and celebrations while anyone pointing out otherwise is shouted down or harassed.
I fucking hate these people.
No videos, sorry. I'm going off of a deranged combination of 400-level history courses and the occasional weird article here and there.
Their book pricing is absolutely goddamn obscene. Over twenty bucks for a paperback? Are you out of your goddamn mind?
Every time I focus on GW's stuff, I'm reminded that they're a tabletop RPG company founded back in the 1970s. How they've lasted this long, I can only attribute to sheer, unholy autism on the fans part.
If they ever kill that, GW will go belly-up in short order.
Christianity is heavily feminized, and has been for atleast a century. Likely two or more.
No, seriously. Historically, women have been seen as the spiritual center of the family, while the husband deals with earthly matters. So scripture and teachings on sunday are focused and interpreted to appeal to... women! Women also influence the purse strings of the family, encouraging more spending toward the church. Win win.
Christianity as taught is cucked because it's operating from a feminine perspective and prerogative. Women are weak, must be protected, and they refuse to even acknowledge women's power and privilege in modern society.
If you want a very radical contrast, look at how appealing Joshua Graham in Fallout New Vegas is to everyone, despite(more likely, because of) how religious he is. His interpretation is very powerful, direct, masculine interpretation of scripture, forcing you to action and urging you to fight evil. He is a godly man, unashamed in his worship, yet will proactively respond with lethal force if necessary without hesitation.
Quite the difference from modern 'let someone else abuse you and become their bitch boy if they act against you'.
Every time I consider getting into Warhammer tabletop, I remember - oh yeah, I fucking hate Games Workshop.
Thanks for making me not waste all my money, I guess...
Sounds like a typical 'hollow a fandom out and wear it like a skin-suit' situation, then.
Though, if they do make the Enclave the big-bad in a Fallout 4 DLC, I'm going to derive some enjoyment watching a few people rant about that.
They 'buy' it because it hurts the people they hate. Simple.
That's what I'm really worried about, to be honest. That it's just good enough that anyone pointing out the bad parts comes across as whining, and you get an annoying flood of new 'fans' coming into the various communities and taking over all space.
I mean... it's certainly a unique take. 3 and NV are basically the same game, mechanics wise, so the fact that you prefer 3 over NV... well, uh, knock yourself out, I guess. I'm not one to deny a man his big, stompy robots.
Actually doing anything in a relationship beyond 'being a table'.
From what I've been told it's basically a journalist circle-jerk of how they imagine they are when they're in war-torn zones, and doesn't really go into the 'who' and 'why' of the whole clusterfuck.
Highly unrealistic, as any journalist in a potential American civil war scenario would just be lined up against a nearby wall and have their throat slit when captured.
They really don't understand just how much people hate them.
Your daily reminder that the so-called jewish IQ superiority is a myth.
Shocking, I know.
Random aside: Brave search is pozzed as fuck. I need to switch over to yandex as default.
I can't imagine why.
I only watched a few snippets of the remake, but I could rant alot about it. Aside from all the woke bullshit they crammed in there, the one thing I still can't wrap my head around is why they changed Isaac and Hammond's design.
'Buh buh they now look like the voice actors'. Don't care. Didn't want it. They look like shit. Bring back the original designs.
Pre-Selection bias exists.
Plus, there's the old stereotype of women coming out of the woodwork to flirt with you after you get a girlfriend. Women try to pass this off as 'because you're no longer trying so hard', but, c'mon.
So, yeah. I can absolutely see this as a thing.
My only complaint about IVF is that it's been way, way oversold - it's far from a guarantee and going to be rather expensive, putting it out of the reach of most people.
You can only twist biology so much. We've put so much faith in technology, expecting a magic wand, but we're left with a gamble instead, and people don't understand this.
Daily reminder that what they think the country looks like has no bearing on reality.
Most women want to be treated like sex toys.
Rape is one of the biggest sexual fantasies women have, bar none. They adore the notion of a strong, powerful man loosing control from due to a woman's sheer sexuality, rendering them helpless and having their way with them.
This has been known for decades. From 'My Secret Garden' to every romance novel published. And for your own sanity, I advise you not go looking at the stuff you can find on Amazon in their ebook section.
Society really, really doesn't want to start tackling the notion that the more depraved sex isn't the male side of the equation.
Finally home, so I can answer this question; 'New Ideas from Dead Economists' goes into the overall history of economics. Not sure I'd call it 'light reading', but it's certainly lighter than Weath of Nations, and goes more into the historical aspect as well as explaining what is what.
