Make money printer go brrrr... like they did in 2020.

Or as right wing female commentators and Tory voters have been saying on TV regarding compulsory national service and conscription in the UK, "It will end the 'woke' and give them purpose in life" I guess right before they become cannon fodder for a war the elite wants. Oddly enough, the majority of the support for this have come from women and retired men. I wonder why?

Lo and behold, what got announced in the UK? Compulsory national service and it looks as if an "obesity strategy" is coming too to allow for a rapid conscription of working age men is being considered by the Tories should they win the election (which is a tactic where the party due to lose will put out controversial policies to gauge public reaction or plant the seed in their head so it becomes less of a problem to introduce down the line).

In terms of cash and resources, you'll be amazed at how things can work quickly if they are determined - as we saw during lockdown and all of a sudden we found hundreds of billions to fund furlough to keep the desire for lockdown alive.

It will reverse very quickly. There will be a push for an "obesity strategy" in western countries, not to reverse or raise testosterone levels but to create an army of conscripts that can be quickly sent to the front lines in a war which you can't do if they are low in testosterone or overweight.

The Government considers everyone should be treated like a child. This way leads to a national Intranet where everything is regulated, licenced and curated by the Government.

Here is the whole thread and the rest of those replies (at least the top rated ones) for those who don't have an account on X: https://ghostarchive.org/archive/fJ5hi

Try typing in the search bar for the music track "I'm sexy and I know it". YouTube will auto-suggest "I'm sexist and I know it" as you type.

Never trust anything from the Government that is designed "to protect the children". It will not be to protect the children.

You won't believe how deliberately nebulous those terms are. Indeed the legal definition of stalking only requires you to reply to someone on social media to break the law!

And that's before the fact that these laws are selectively enforced.

It's not just storefronts and gaming. Just today an article has been put up of how English tourists are being prevented from viewing and taking pictures of Mount Fuji to prevent disruptive, unsafe and anti-social behaviour. There have been protests to demand an end to tourism even if it hits the economy.

And not just Japan either. Spain is implementing taxes and curfews to stop English tourists from drinking into anti-social and violent behaviour alongside protests to end tourism in places like the Canary Islands, even if they have to take a financial hit. Italy is also banning the English language.

I'm noticing a pattern here.

And there is also the push for national Intranets on "safety" grounds which will be the only viable and effective way of keeping foreigners out of digital storefronts.

VPN's will get around that. The only effective way to gatekeep is to implement a national Intranet disconnected from the Internet (or at the very least, having private companies as intermediates like international phone calling with surveillance at the digital border) with zero ability for foreigners to get in. But it would also herald the end of a free and open Internet.

Hypergamy only ever goes one way.

I find the concept of getting fit to be grossly oversold as the solution to all problems by the manosphere and self-help gurus. As in, we're all blank slates, genetics ain't real and everything can be fixed by exercise and diet. While being fit and healthy is not a bad thing to be, there is a lot of other nuance that gets missed, everyone comes from a different start in life and ceilings that people hit on an individual level.

I saw a video of someone who is critical of this procedure. Someone who wanted to get to six feet did this procedure, it went wrong and he is now disabled for life. If he believed he wouldn't be attractive before, he certainly won't be now. He gambled and lost. For such a small gain, it really is not worth the risk.

She's looking for a man within 0.9% of the population. It's bad enough now on Tinder that it's becoming the 96/4 rule.

But instead of evaluating their situation, acknowledging their growing, unrealistic standards and correcting course like a responsible and accountable individual would do, they either tell men to "be better" or go full nun mode.

Someone else in another community used Twstalker but when I did use it, it doesn't show all the replies and if you're not using an ad-blocker, it can be painful to use.

Ghost Archive needs to be made the default for archiving considering how well it worked compared to the other alternatives. I'm guessing they're using sleeper logged in accounts to snapshot the page, so it's not guaranteed in the future should Elon have a purge but it's better than what we have now from the usual suspects.

There's a dataset from Bumble on Statistia that shows that most women have their height preference set to 6'6" (198cm). A percentage of men so small that the online standard calculators just deem it to be zero percent (I did set every other variable to any).

I suspect such a thing would be like lockdown and allow exceptions for emergency service workers and essential utility workers. Can't have the sewers blocked during curfew!

So they're just going full unmask moment now. Where they now believe it is socially acceptable to air blatantly sexist ideas and are putting them out to the public to see the appetite for it. I do remember there was a proposal in the UK House of Lords for a male curfew that would require men to stay off the streets at certain times of the day.

It also reminds me of the UK health secretary who just yesterday had a BBC podcast published denouncing how the health service was "by men for men" and needed to be reset so it caters to women.

And the worse thing about all of this, the men in power will vote for their own obsolescence.

Considering this is the home of The Donald, it will be a key target for anyone who wants to shut down "electoral interference communication platforms".

We know that the definition of trolling, if it was made illegal, will be extrapolated to encompass a much wider range of speech and behaviour.

We're about to see this put to the test in real time in Slovakia.

Time to back-up all the purchases off site before the rot sets in and all those purchases and the money spent on them disappears. One mercy is that they're DRM free.

I notice that this attempted assassination is being used by the Interior Minister to push that this was caused by "hate speech" and the deputy chairman of his party is also joining him in the same rhetoric. Even while emergency surgery is being performed on the PM as we speak, the Government can't help but use this terrible event to push an agenda of censorship.

It's almost as if critics of these authoritarian laws were warning that the same laws can also be used against supporters of said laws. Who could have seen this coming? Oh yes, we all did.

Bear in mind the rationale for this - if anyone uses your code, including compiled or proprietary software, not just FOSS, for anything the stare deems criminal, they can face consequences. They are also expected to police the behaviour and thoughts of their users.

This and the UK's prosecution of Alex Belfield for off-site behaviour done by others now means we've crossed the line into punishing people for other people's behaviour.

We also know why states are so keen on abolishing encryption for individuals.
