If it actually came out that he was gay with 100% proof, I'd honestly respect him more for not throwing it in our faces.

That being said, a politician who openly plays favorites and certainly shows his bias that he cares more for people in another country than he does actual Americans does not deserve to represent Americans. His open hostility towards Americans is even more disgusting than what he's probably doing privately. How do normies find this traitorous behavior acceptable? Nimarata Randhawa, I mean Nikki Haley, was the same way.

Keep it from coming here?

So he's saying we should keep Jews and Arabs out of the United States? There's literally no other way unless people here are fighting the fight for them? Which is exactly what he's doing.

That's called "White Flight" and it's an extremely racist thing to do, sweaty.

Thanks, I really like videos like that. Just watched the entire thing. Since I'm something of an aspiring game developer myself, it's very enlightening to see the veil pulled back and better understand why the mobile market is full of the kinds of shit it's filled with. I've always preferred more simple games that don't nickel and dime people--you buy once and you get your whole game. But watching that video helps me better understand the modern game market on mobile as well as on Steam.

And you're right, when dipping your toes into the topic things really do veer into feminism and dating strategies when you study psychology and using it for own benefit, but all of it is fascinating. I think it's probably all related and all human nation. And from getting people to keep clicking to on a mobile game, or preordering ultimate editions of games, to buying costumes and cosmetics, to buying things that are "on sale for a limited time" it's all the same. But the good thing is once you really learn to notice it, it's hard NOT to notice it. You just have to know what you're looking for. I feel like a learned a lot from a 20 minute video, so I can only imagine how much power professional marketers develop after years of training and practice.

This might be slightly veering off-topic, but I read The Murderer Next Door by David Buss many years ago and found it really fascinating. It goes the evolutionary psychology reasons why people kill. It's interesting how people do have hard-wired behaviors, and while in that book's case it dealt with killing, I can see where knowing how people operate at a lower level can lead to more ambitious people using whatever tactics they can to get whatever it is they want. I started to read the 48 Laws of Power many years ago but it's hard to read stuff like that because it kind of does feel like a manual for being an asshole, but again I think it's probably also full of advice on how to recognize those behaviors. Same thing with YouTube channels like Jake Tran or Moon. They talk about all kinds of social manipulation going on. I'll watch them occasionally but sometimes it seems like they are glorifying or celebrating certain behaviors. Or even other channels, like Not Just Bikes or More Perfect Union. Sometimes you just subconsciously notice an agenda like a fucking Spider Sense. Of course I'm definitely not giving you or anyone else recommendations, but it's like you do go researching these things you go into a sort of uncanny valley where things aren't quite right and it's like going into the wrong neighborhood. Apologies for the ranting.

Always remember the clever psychopaths study and use psychology against us, so you may as well too so you know what red flags to watch for.

Any recommendations on where to get started with studying psychology for such purposes?

These are men who have been fired and lost their paycheck and benefits, and yet still insist on coming to work and doing the job for free out of some perverted sense of duty and honor. It's a power structure that those who benefit from (and it's not just women) have every intention to keep in place.

Right, when the doll goes into dummy mode, who is the real dummy, the sex doll or the idiot who bought it?

Something like this doll is made for a certain type of man. Not all men, not most men, and certainly not for any women. And how exactly does it help the customer if it has anti-features built into it that are catered for women who are "selling" a competing product? I think most women are already going to think less of this dude for what he does. And yet he caters to them for what exactly? So the men who would buy his product can now think lesser of him too?

These are the empaths^wpeople who, after reading a single word that they didn't like, would comb through your entire social media history to find anything tangentially wrongthink and then launch campaigns to harass your family, friends, and employer to get you cancelled.

And these people are equating that with us not buying a product that not only wasn't catered to us, but actively hostile towards us.

I thought "manpower" was one of those no-no words we're not allowed to say? I guess inclusivity no longer matters to them when it's time to hint at men needing to man up.

I like how little children are able to just figure it out. And it's not like children are actually taught how to differentiate between men and women. It's instinct for us and sure there are cases where people are androgynous looking, but those are the exceptions and not the rule.

Just wait until we get the first political assassination with a suicide drone, that shit is going to scare the hell out of the politicians.

I remember that story about the flying dildo drone a few years ago, and thinking that at the time. People just thought it was funny, like look at the harmless little drone. And now with all of the drone activities in Russia/Ukraine, it was just a matter of time before people realized just how much harm they could do with them.

making YouTube a place of not just tolerance, but acceptance for everybody. That some people chose to use that platform to spew hate-filled misinformation is their fault, and she was morally obligated to shut them down.

Out of curiosity, how do you feel about people who migrate to Western countries to take advantage of good will and tolerance and acceptance by raping, killing, and generally making a nuisance of themselves?

It also had a section of it does not matter if the accusations are true or false you are not allowed to be spiteful to the complainant and need to continue working with a smile on your face.

But I thought it was sexist to tell (or expect) people to smile? That whole thing is just enraging. And who is crazy enough to want to date a coworker? It almost makes you not want to even talk to any women at work. But that, apparently, is problematic too.

There's also the True Crime games. They're pretty old at this point and I don't know how easy they are to get ahold of.

See also, Spring Break which always coincides with Easter (at least it always did when I was in school). Or Winter Break which always coincided with Christmas. Or even Toy Day in Animal Crossing lest we somehow offend people who want to culturally appropriate Christian holidays and get in on the fun without having to actually associate with Christians or Christianity. They want to have their Christmas fruit cake and eat it too.

So that's what the leftists are doing? They're going after Yule and whatever the fuck spring pagan festival Easter replaced because they AREN'T Christian? Give me a fucking break. They are clearly attacking Christians. What ancient 9000 year old pagan holiday that people originally celebrated on the spring equinox where they caught and butt fucked bunny rabbits and juggled chicken eggs doesn't matter in this context as it's not relevant. Am I wrong? Or do you think it's really right wing Christians who want to purge heretical holidays from the true faith? No, you're just a disingenuous troll.

I agree 100%. I think he's just an over the top bombastic type personality and just being so outrageous and a spectacle made him popular. But just seeing how hard THEY are going after him makes me wonder how much of the shit he's spewing contains actual truths they don't want us to hear.

Right? Just like there are always scare pieces about the the ALT-RIGHT or WHITE SUPREMACISTS or NATZEEEZ who spend all day every day recruiting kids in online games. How come they never go after the other end of the spectrum that really is out there targeting kids with bullshit propaganda? Why are so-called journalists and other hacks in the media so obsessed with anyone or anything that could expose them for who they are or there agenda for what it is?

You know how I first about Tate 1 and Tate 2? People talking about them in YouTube videos talking about how controversial they were. I looked up Andrew Tate and even watched some videos. I'm not a kid anymore so maybe that was why I didn't get sucked down that rabbit hole, but despite that I didn't get further recommendations. Before I had already repeatedly heard about Tate I never once sought him out or anything thing like that and he never showed up in my feed. And that's what's funny. I sometimes even seek out counter-cultural "right-wing" stuff on YouTube. Yet it doesn't ever get randomly recommended to me. But what does is left wing shit like trannies that I literally never look for.

Anyone else feel that this entire article is just an angry whiny shitpost by Emanuel Maiberg? There is more pissing and moaning about Twitter and Musk than anything else. Like remember back during the Fappening when Apple swore up and down the whole thing had nothing to do with them or their policies but that was later exposed as bullshit because it was an iCloud vulnerability. And here we have like all of the blame being directed at Twitter/Musk as though they were somehow personally responsible.

That description sounds exactly like a SIM swap, a common hack in which someone tricks or bribes employees at wireless providers to switch the target's phone number to another device, which can then be leveraged to access other accounts by receiving their two-factor authentication codes sent over SMS.

So literally no fault to Twitter or even Reid herself. Of course it's Vice, so what can you expect.

How is this news? I remember ripping CDs with Windows Media Player like 10-15 years ago. It might have only supported WMA but the feature was there. And at this point anyone who has needed to rip CDs has already found a solution (EAC/lame). Or is the real story how Windows 11 was rushed to market barely finished and they're just going to slowly add features over the next few years? What do you guys think of Windows 11?

That reminds of the game Just Cause 2 when the government-run media kept denying there was an American commando going around blowing shit up but that he would be severely punished when he was caught.
