No worries. I don't think I am misinformed and I think you are misinformed. When I brought actual facts into it that are the real numbers that our country is facing you had no other rebuttal but to try to invalidate my point. Consider why that is. A trade dispute is solved with numbers not feelings. I understand that it is an anxiety inducing situation but you handwaved away my attempt at discussing it thoroughly by just saying mark has a good resume he'll figure it out. Is that the mark of a responsible citizen and high quality intellectual? I apologize for being harsh but I find it a common pattern with you to use emotions to discuss a topic over the actual facts. You did the same thing to me in the Islam thread.

It is very topical though. This is a discussion on Islam vs actualized principles. Leo himself said that religion is for weak minded people that can't handle direct confrontation with reality and need an authority to tell them how to think. Which I think is absolutely correct. Look at what happened when I had a very matter of fact debate about Islam's history. He flipped out and resorted to name calling. That is anti-intellectualism and a weak ego. He was not interested in the truth, he felt his identity and religion being attacked and he lashed out. That is what someone with a weak character does. He dmed me to edit the post which I thought was silly since why does he care that much if I tagged him on a reply? Because he has a weak sense of self as most Islamic people do since they are living in under an authoritarian religion where character development and challenging authority is discouraged. When I told him I wouldn't he flipped out at me just like he did in the thread. He brought up my thoughts on sex why? Just me having a life outside of his religion's ideology triggered him enough to start calling me a narcissist. To me that shows extremely weak character. What happened when I deconstructed the original's posters points with facts and my own lived experienced? Was he happy to chat about it or did he never reply again in the thread? What do you think would've happened if we had this discussion in an islamic country? It would've been a valuable exchange of ideas that enriches both parties or I would've gotten shot or stabbed? Half of my family is muslim, I have lived experienced in this. One of my uncles last year almost killed one of my other uncles for a very silly reason that escalated. Islam is a dangerous cult that produces cognitively deficient individuals with poor emotional regulation. It sounds like insults but they are very matter of fact definitional terms. I didn't write out what I actually think about this user, just what I'm noticing. My actual opinion of him as a human is much worse. This is what happens when you confront truth, people with an unintegrated sense of self get triggered. Same thing that happened on the sex thread. I still think it is valuable exercise and I refuse to be intimated or silenced by such limited people.

Sexpionage? Easily a 30% chance this is how I die. I love powerful women it would override a lot of my survival instincts. I need to bang first though otherwise I'm haunting her from the afterlife for 1000 years as revenge. If it's consummated then you know you lose some you win some, that's life.

Intelligence is the ability to problem solve. How many problems do you see the average dog having? They are most popular than most humans. Often times dog owners love their dogs more than they love other humans. Most human females think more highly of dogs than human males. Literally conquering us. The average dog has a better life than the average human. Dog is a very advanced life form using love to conquer mankind. Don't only rely on IQ and intellect to assess if someone is intelligent, most high IQ people have terrible lives and can't solve their problems due to neuroticism and overthinking and lack of emotional understanding. Dog almost never sad always happy, superior levels of emotional mastery than human. Average dog better at content creation than average human. Try it start a Youtube account and post shorts of cute dogs and random humans dog wins each time. Even if you take the average channel on youtube that features humans doing anything vs dog and cat video 100% the pets win get more views on average. Dog winning. Overpowered species. Nerf when?

You've tried dating in Russia? This is fascinating yeah when I look at Moscow nightlife videos it's only baddies idk how they do it How is the hookup culture there?

Israel has huge geopolitical influence in the world overall and has massive influence over US foreign policy and AIPAC funds campaigns of specific congressmen and senators. Where is the anti-seminitism in that?

What city do you live in? Try business and corporate events. The business world is all about efficiency and achieving goals in the world. Also fitness groups can be good but I don't really workout so I'm just guessing. It's not that understanding your emotions is not important it's that it's only 30% of the battle. A lot of the reasons you're sad because your life sucks not because you have childhood trauma. Feminine circles have performance and competition, it's not their forte. They like emotional support and social cohesion.

There is actually a lot of deep psychology when it comes to crypto. The fact that humans react more to emotion than logic is to true. I will not confirm or deny that I have invested money after watching funny meme videos on more than one occasion. This one got me good, it's so catchy.

No worries man. You're the one that was condescending first btw so your moral outrage is not rooted in facts just in a hurt ego. That's what happens when you use feelings over logic to approach serious topics.

Sorry you seem to be too emotional to discuss this topic. Since you clearly are clueless on this topic and resort to feelings before reality I encourage you to educate yourself further on the current geopolitical climate before you embarrass yourself further. Here is a good breakdown that explains how the Iran war is currently affecting American Foreign Policy. I would also tell you that the US is currently considering pulling out of NATO. That would leave us completely fucked in terms of Russian and China intervention in our arctic if we don't come up with a solid deal with the US ASAP.

Excuse me? You seem to have narrow unresearched opinions based on feelings more than facts on many topics. Check yourself before saying nonsense on a geopolitics thread Extreme Export Asymmetry: Roughly 70% to 75% of all Canadian exports go directly to the United States. The U.S., by comparison, sends less than 18% of its total exports to Canada. Canada relies overwhelmingly on one customer for three-quarters of its export economy. That's called a key man risk. Macro GDP Vulnerability: Total bilateral trade in goods and services between the two nations exceeds $870 billion USD. While cross-border supply chains like automotive and energy products are deeply integrated, a prolonged tariff war or USMCA breakdown hits Canada's $2.2T GDP proportionally far harder than America's $28T+ economy. Partner Substitution Limits: Canada cannot simply "pivot" to other global trade partners short-term. Moving critical volume in crude petroleum, automobiles, or manufacturing components out of the North American corridor requires decades of infrastructure and transport pipeline development. Your standard of living is going to be personally affected if this trade deal is not solved properly as well as mine and the other canadians on the forum. The Americans will not be affected much.

Homer Simpson. Fucking psychopath used his intellect to access another reality to force one of our top media conglomerate to make a show about him and use it to brainwash people worldwide. Trump has been said to be a big Simpsons fan, I don't think it's a coincidence. Also works at a nuclear plant, extremely suspicious now that nuclear is one of the top industries in the AI race. Don't say I didn't warn you. Springfield was a warning. Think about it, who likes donuts? Cops, the global domestic military force that controls the population. Coincidence? Not even once.

I would love know what the negotiations looked like. I think Carney is indeed a more astute individual than Trump but I think he has some ego and wants to look tough. I can't be sure if I'm right but I think he is bluffing a bit. It was my understanding that we need a renewed good version of the USMCA deal otherwise the Canadian economy is gonna dump.

What were the main points or market realities that got you to pivot? Do you still do music on the side or you're not that interested in it anymore?

So your investment strategy relies on timing the market? Good luck billionaires with 160 IQ and 50 quants working for them don't seem to be able to do it reliably. Most hedge funds do not outperform the S&P 500. Why do you believe in Cryptocurrency fundamentally? Feel free to elaborate on your thesis. Please don't say "Numbers go up"
