I was expecting incoherent doublethink.
Just stay off double-digit IQ social media. And, get out of third-world shitholes like London and Paris.
Many of our enlightenment values are a continuation of Christianity and what came before. If the bible was too easy to interpret, it would lack depth or wouldn't persist across millennia. I don't agree with the parts that seem to be authoritarian social engineering, but I've learned to be very dismissive of malicious caricatures of the religion. Most of the bible isn't up to flimsy, wildly divergent interpretation.
~1000 staff writers in 2021. This is in line with general economic trends, not a collapse of the big-name section of legacy media.
They made the choice when they started immigrating in the first half of the 20th century. The retarded part is how Western governments got dragged into this ordeal.
"December of last year, I got a notification from Reddit stating I was in the top 1% of karma earners on the site for 2022. Some people might see that as a positive thing, but I was embarrassed. I realized I needed to pull back on my use this year and I’ve done pretty well with it. I’m not off entirely (obviously), but I recognized it was an issue."
This type of person will never comprehend what a habitually people-pleasing douche heshe is. Even if shehe got off social media, it will forage until a social group that sufficiently duckspeaks is found. Note that this person still posts at least 2 comments every day, on bottom feeder subreddits.
Edit: Dude reached 1000 comments within 6 months, or an average of 6 a day. That's not as bad as some people on reddit who reach the 1000 cache limit within 2 months, but this ATIAH addict's words do not match perself's actions.
Especially with decades of propaganda telling women its emotional abuse for a man to make suggestions towards a woman. Never try to fix a man/woman who's drawn towards sin.
Went through r/all and saw this inane tweet on r/themajorityreport. Went to r/destiny for a comparison, and was surprised that that community gained a few IQ points over the past 5 years. One of the trending posts is lamenting that the former is a trashbin, although that OP only gets half-credit for only figuring it out in the past 24 hours. Solution, deport all Seder fans to the near East, and FauxMoi participants too while we're at it.
Edit: There are at least 2 upvoted comments on the former post calling this Tweet qanon-level horseshit. One of those accounts is already suspended...
At least some Futbol hooligan had the balls to intervene against 2 knife-wielders in a mall. The American born among these crowds have no such quality.
My only stance on Isreal is for our governments to stop giving them welfare and that I favor the Palestinian territories less than I do the Zionists. However, my spidey-sense was telling me that this is something Mossad would want to do. An advanced-knowledge situation reminiscent of Pearl Harbor is more feasible than some elaborate spook false-flag operation.
I would disown any parent who let their kid put micro-transactions on their wish-list.
It seems like the maliciously retarded post-WWII two-state solution never enters the conversation whenever this country is in the news. I'd rather America give Israel permission to shake an unconditional out of the Gaza strip, and America sever all foreign aid and military alliances in the region. I'm undecided if the whole ordeal is manufactured or sheer incompetence from the 20th-century establishment.
I was deliberately excluding long-term purchases like game consoles, but game discs/cartridges slipped my mind. $20-50 games would swiftly eat up that $100 budget. Without nephews or nieces, I don't know what kids want these days. The websites for toysrus, target, and amazon(worst) are much shittier than the 90's/00's catalogs. So, I don't really know if all cool toys have premium price tags, but I remember why I gave up on legos before high-school.
$100 was a high toy budget for millennials, but inflation and increased brand markup will bump that up to $200 today. Regardless of budget, I think it's important that a well-behaved kid gets something they want, and make sure no relatives are stressed over gifts.
I'm obligated to mention Requiem whenever Skyrim is bought up. Restores old-school RPG combat mechanics from "Morrowind and Daggerfall, as well as Gothic, Deus Ex, Baldur’s Gate, and Icewind Dale". One of the most satisfying single-player experiences I've had in the past 5 years. Wabbajack should have a mod collection; I haven't touched in 3 years so ymmv.
Right in many cases, I'm specifically criticizing Nintendo. They have abundant capital and willing manpower (internal or contract), but their c-suite has a track-record of wanting control over their consumer base. If Wii online was burdensome to maintain, it's because they had an entrenched engineering culture that made patching the Wiis less sensical than the fitness of a stereotypical US Southern inbreed. Uii and 3DS discontinuation was Nintendo wanting to milk customers within an acceptable level of negative publicity.
Something like the Dreamcast (or Nintendo's obscure 90's online services) is excusably old enough, and burdensome to Sega's business strategy. There are also community hacks to play those old machines online, even though PC is a superior platform for online retro-gaming (incl. emulation). The Wii and the U are modern enough (broadband era) where maintenance mode would be a rounding error. In cases like the first two Xboxes causing problems for Xbones' Xbox Live, Micrsosoft should have released a patch making it easy to connect an older console to a community ran master server. That'd be preferable to rearchitecturing to P2P.
They did get around to optimizing turn times about a year into WH2 launch. Can't speak for WH3, it's on the list of games I'll only buy when the complete package is under $20.
The mob-mentality of the entryist replacement Total War fanbase fascinates me more than this dime-a-dozen corporate boondoggle. The fad chasing suckers that piled on Arch and Volund deserve the undercooked TWW3 and super bland TW: Troy plus Pharroh. Not sure if they're capable of such coherent emotions.
If a franchise is getting hyped on r/all, (rupaulsdisgrace, theboys, genshit) there's a 66% of it being objectively shit or heading towards the septic tank. The first season of The Boys could be great for all I know, but I don't trust studios to not cater towards lowest-common-denominator audiences they already appeal to.
I turned off Disenchanted as soon as 'jazz-hands' were introduced as a moral, not a lampoon. Similarly with Dragon Prince somewhere in season 2, a complete moral downgrade from Cartoon Network/Toonami of early 00's, or OG ducktales.
If given the opportunity, a majority of individual women would choose not to work. Those that desire to work in ideal economic conditions aren't causing a housing shortage. Restricting legal and illegal immigration, a nationwide crusade against zoning, a drastic overhaul of our monetary system, and a crackdown on lawless cities would address primary causes of our housing bubble.
If Fortnite was mildly successful as Save The World, and BR (the genre) flopped, maybe Tencent would have pulled put. Ultimately, I blame the consumer for buying trash, and the voter for complacency in artificially incentivizing these business models more than necessary, before I blame the corporation for chasing profits.
Should have waited until there was an expanded offering beyond Twitter. If Facebook wasn't utterly normie corporate dropping .edu signup requirement, Meta might have been a cool realization of 80s/90s futurism instead of a hijacking a key word of the English language. At least Meta was more than Facebook.
Her and Mccain cosponsored "campaign-finance reform". We need something not permitted on this site.
The author seems upper-middle class, but any family who lives within their means can achieve this. Now if the state would stop incentivizing dumb families.
I don't trust many private schools to be substantially better than public schools. Same flawed authoritarian and artificial premises; lousy parents, teachers, and admin that squanders students' potential. Shared educational facilities for difficult subjects make more sense than 6.5-10 hour days caged to a desk.
