  1. Except we do see exactly that. It's just that you're not appreciating the relativity of the situation. As I said, the conservatives in American are progressives relative to the Taliban. And that is because America is much more economically developed. If America had the development level of Afghanistan, Mitch McConnell would be passing laws prohibiting women from wearing skirts, and half the country would support it.
  2. Be careful counting your chickens before they hatch. Women are notoriously not to be relied on for timely sex.
  3. A receptionist-type job in a slow company.
  4. Coding jobs pay well. PHP coding pays real well. You can also try online marketing jobs
  5. I shopped at a Dollar store once. Bought a pack of fake Post-It notes. Figured it was a good deal. Opened the package. They were so bad I immediately threw the whole thing in the trash. Never again.
  6. Generally speaking the mind ossifies and gets more closed with age. Hence more conservative.
  7. A direct count of popular votes would do that I think. Every vote would count. Maybe areas with a population below 10,000 can be given double votes to make sure their voice isn't drowned out by big cities. And maybe campaigning must be regulated so they campaign more evenly, not just targetting big cities. For example, for every urban rally you must also host a rural rally. And you must visit at least 20 different states. All sorts of clever regulations could help even things out.
  8. The system needs to be sensitive to the agenda of rural voters, but not overly so. The US Senate is overly captive by the rural agenda. Since most people do not live in deep rural areas, that agenda should not run the show, but it should still be respresented. This is where a parlimentary sort of system is good. It is already the case that small states get less voting power, as they should. It's important to keep in mind where the economic output comes from. Areas that generate more economic value should have more voting power because they generate more tax revenue and play a bigger role in shaping world affairs.
  9. About $170/mo for a dedicated server.
  10. There are way more difficult languages than German. Beauitful English words: Paradox Eerie Strange loop Macabre Sublime Recontextualization Mindfuck
  11. Def rings true. P.S. So this explains why women are psychos? Jk
  12. Santa is real. I wear his hat for every Christmas episode. And this year I got a matching scarf.
  13. Careful with racetams, they are not good for you. Weird side-effects.
  14. If you want a show that teaches you game, watch Californication.
  15. Def huge progress. But there is some truth in that you can't just coast on your past success, you must put in the work every night. You aren't just gonna get sex for showing up, you gotta work the room and hustle. But your game should get much better every 6 months.
  16. What is up with all this sex cringe? I see a lot of cool gift ideas on Instagram. I bought my brother this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Intrism-Pro-Wooden-Puzzle-Labyrinth/dp/B016B9GN3Q
  17. The whole point is to give large urban centers more power because they have more people and more economic and cultural relevance. There is no such thing as states with illegal voter turnout. This is nonsense. Yes, the more people show up to vote, the more representation they will get. That's otherwise known as democracy. I don't see how a direct popular vote can be won by a narrow region. If by "narrow region" is meant "all the major cities combined", then yes. But I wouldn't call that narrow, I'd call that broad. What's truly narrow is how all the rural rednecks vote in unison for right-wing buffoons. The redneck in Alsaka votes the same as the redneck in Florida. So you're not exactly getting some profound diversity there. The real question is, why should rural people get disportionate say in matters that involve global affairs? If you isolate yourself in a small town, your views will not be broad enough to properly handle global concerns, which is what going to Washington involves.
  18. Of course. Why else? His Yellowness is marginal and spotty.
  19. Combination of personality type and early survival environment.
  20. @ivankiss Why are you making it so hard? I have a 4 part series that explains all of politics. You could just watch that and be done with this issue.
  21. Is he seriously taking credit for creating anti-SJWism and owning the Libs? That's like claiming you invented jerking off. Lol Pretty sure conservatives have hated on hippies since forevar. They don't need TJ to teach them how to troll and hate. P.S. Why does TJ look like a Hasidic Jew? He was supposed to be an atheist.
