Well a great example is medical debt. I COULD pay it all off today. But why the fuck would I do that? There's 0 interest. I make more money the longer I string it along with zero downside.
Same with debit vs credit cards. There is 0 advantage to using a debit card. Use the credit card and keeping the balance at 0 has the exact same "debt" as using a debit card with all kinds of upside.
This is the difference between good and bad debt for a consumer.
Sales bitch.
Prince is the only half time show that mattered
Damn do I miss AC multi-player.
Favorite multi-player experience after Halo 3. And the only one I got good at. I think I was top 1500 ranked or something at one point.
Completely unique. Stupid fun.
I don't even know that it has to be 2. Just from experience I know when a conversation is gooooone and I'm not going to grasp any of it.
Some of it is subject matter, and some things really are "yeah I cant hold that many concepts at once"
I read a lovely long piece several years ago talking about the transition from speech as incantation to speech as description.
From his perspective the the latter only really existed from Elightenment up until maybe the 30s. Prior to and subsequently words don't describe reality, they enact it.
He drew all sorts of parallels with stage magic, shamanism, and political theater that make me really sad I cant remember where I found it lol.
It comes to me when the tranny issue comes up, and why i will always hate on Matt Walsh for either punking out of making a kill shot or just being too stupid to make it.
Incidentally, the school program I was in during Elementary put a huge amount of focus on sentence diagramming, to the point that when it was reviewed by some textbook panel they drew attention to it as "possible excessive"
Makes me wonder.
Can YOU diagram your own argument? If not you don't get to make it. You're not thinking or arguing, you're just a Bluetooth speaker.
Forgiveness tolerance and egalitarianism aren't Jewish values.
None if them are, but forgiveness especially is one they reject culturally, as well as the concept of redemption
That'd be it yep. Classic
It does go down periodically, but honestly less often than even 1d4chan does.
There's a kids in the hall skit (a spike in my head a SPIKE in my head.)
That absolutely demolishes the awards show pageantry and maturation.
I played it at a party one time and most people laughed. But one, whose now a witch and left full blooded and the most surface level person I've ever met. She didn't laugh.
She didn't get it, and not in a "I don't get the joke being funny" but that she couldn't even recognize that what they were making fun of was something that could be made fun of.
That's what a normie is.
Which is the Crux of the "being peaceful while incapable of violence isn't Virtue, its being owned" argument is from.
It's a biblical concept, be innocent as doves but shrewd as vipers. Give no man reason to question your integrity. But when conflict arises you better not fucking lose.
It shows up in a number of martial arts, most notably Jeet Kune Do, the best course or action is 90% of the time to not engage for various reasons. Expertise is when you've reach that point, and everything previous is masturbation.
He's committing the Twitter error. He saw some bonehead comment but like the fool who follows a fool he thought it was more than it was
That's not how this works. Institutions don't spring evil from whole cloth. Successful ones don't anyway.
Do you think that competent white dudes had reason to be bribed and lie when they ran the Institutions?
Of course not. This is a consequence of the leninisim present today. Incompetents are brought in, and under constant threat of being exposed will do the evil bidding of their masters.
Leftism CORRUPTS it never creates. We see this in everything they touch, from media franchises to government. The Great Men, passionate geniuses create greatness that is usurped by corruptions.
So yeah penicillin and antibiotics work, and we did go to the moon. The problem is all the people who did those things are now dead and replaced.
That's what being cool has always been. It's just verboten to admit that's what it means for the last 40 years.
It's all the same fucking thing. Cool. Dangerous "dark triad" strong.
It's all the same fucking shit for thousands of years.
We haven't changed. Not since we crawled out of the first cave and saw the first stars. Were the same.
Less so by the day. I used to get a head shake and a "don't SAY things like that" about stuff I now get an exasperated eye roll and reluctant accusations of exaggeration rather than fabrication.
You have to do it slowly if you're trying to turn people. A breadcrumb here, a baby red pill there drop a bomb and retreat back to little deviations.
That's how it's always done, you must have to learn to do it. Picking your targets is half th3 battle, but it's easily doable.
As much as we (and I agree) that pointing out the double standards is largely pointless because everyone already knows about them, there ARE topics that normies genuinely haven't heard of, and if you can build towards those points and be the first to inform them
Here's an example, Bloomberg just published a piece on SWATing, great example of "Oh NOW its a problem" but because I'd laid the groundwork I was able to be ahead of it with my boomercon family
The groundwork was scaring them about online predators after an incident with a family friend months ago, convincing them to finnaly privatize and annonmize their social media accounts. That's an easy transition to th3 dangers of doxxing and why it's a special kind of bad action. Now I can tell them thay Bloomberg is carrying water for shitting politicians by pretending it's some brand new right wing troll tactic, when in actuality it's been the opposite for ages.
Then you just have to pick your battles.
Please tells me which one. I need this in my life
Women are having more sex with increasingly fewer men. Men having less sex overall is the result of that
You.. really don't have a concept of modern sexual dynamics do you....
Mate. You can't read.
I mean I explicitly said Nazis murdered people in my first post and your response was "sO NaxxiSs neVer KiLeD aNy WoN"
You can't even catch text, why would you be capable of subtext?
That's the critical meme to me. The narrative see-saws between "ruthless insanely perfect efficiency is the onlyvway they pulled this part off" and "they did this part as inefficiently as possible for no reason"
I always forget subtlety is foreign to you lol
Put a shorter way. The exact same people who maintain the Holocaust at maximum and make questioning it illegal are the ones who call fighting ages, male economic migrants "terrified refugees" and will hold an infant in smoke to get a good photo op.
Frankly? I've no fucking clue what IS. But I know what it fucking isn't.
It's hard to get people to exterminate others. The "authority tells you to shock people" experiment is bullshit. It's hard to do. You can say a group deserves extermination and even convince people It's true, but getting those people to in lockstep achieve unheard of efficiency in something it usually takes decades of conditioning to convince somebody to do once.....
Then come the practical questions. Wooden doors. Magic furnaces. Magical chemical synthesis.
And in the end every new fact just happens to show that every atrocity against the German people and army was wholey justified, and now we get to vaporize entire cities because we're the good guys.
Awfully lucky ain't it.
And even then the low end school doesn't have to suck or be a pain in the ass. Cause the moment you graduate nobody ever gives a fuck about any of it ever again. All they care is that you checked the box.
