Sanewashing. Trump doesn't have a plan. His goal is simply to feed his narcissism.

The driving cause is climate change.

An exclusionary system isn't going to solve anything unless you are planning on making women slaves again.

We did it Reddit. We saved crypto.

Cosmic creampie. When your mindblown on a huge level.

Algorythmic. When information prioritizes social media engagement over truth and factuallity. When something is algorythmic there's a greater risk for misinformation and exaggeration of certain points, often to the point of charicature. It often appeals to fears and paranoias of certain people. It creates and spreads distorted beliefs and attitudes in people that quickly turns ideological, but which is often partial and inconcistent since it's based predominately on what is algorythmically spread. For example hating on Only Fans but not Pornhub (there's mostly only an algorythmic bias against OF specifically). An algorythmic bias has a distorting effect not only how information is spread and what beliefs are adopted, but also what is being talked about in the first place. There's also a tendency for algorythmic topics and conversation to turn more and more extreme because extreme content is more engaging. Algorythmic contributes significantly to the polarization of online discourse, especially politics. It disinhibits one's relation to reality and makes you insane. Terminally online people are highly algorythmic because of how much time they spent submerged in an algorythmic mire.

I don't know if it's a good solution or not. I think the government is just trying to get more money in house first and foremost. I think there's going to be great algorythmic bias against this because it triggers the chuds. So watch out for misinformation, especially when the source is algorythmic in nature (clickbait titles, doom pilling, etc.)

This already been a thing in the Netherlands for years, though I believe it was ruled as unconstitutional recently. It triggers finance/crypto bros immensely and causes them to hyperventilate because it nerfs investing. Maybe not such a bad idea on paper. Investing is a low value activity relative to the absurd amount of money you can make of it. And all top tier financers abuse the system to avoid taxes.

Authoritarians are categorically not conservative. They are revolutionary.

A big part of the issue is that immigration policy didn't get broad public consent. People feel it was just pressed unto them by a technocratic machine that doesn't take their concerns seriously.

That and anime stickers. The explanation is that soldiers are nerds. Geek shit like playing games and watching anime stimulates the warrior spirit. There's a reason why drone controls use Xbox 360 controllers.

People not feeling a duty to society reflects the neoliberal culture of our age. It's a lack of healthy stage blue in my opinion.

Luxury bottled water brands, like Voss water. Literally just water but Gucci.

It's silly to debate lord over differences in preference. A boom and bust cycle of intense learning is obviously not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

Went to my regular recently and as I walked in he gave me just cold look like he was saying "oh" and silently pointed me towards the waiting bench. Came up and he asked where I've been. With another cheaper barber. I pointed out how shit the haircut was from the one I cheated with and he asked how much I payed for it, as if to say if he's only worth a measly 5 dollar difference to him. The entire cut was kind of awkward and silent and made me feel anxious. Haircut was pretty bomb though and he kind of went crazy to please me and shit. Styled it like an orangutan though. Didn't tip. It's funny though, cause the only reason I went back was because the hairdresser I actually wanted that day was full. Thoughts?

Bruh, that other lawyer frame mogged him so hard. "You should leave this county, boah."

A nice guy is someone who can't express what they want directly, so they try to get things indirectly through manipulation. They see themselves as fundamentally unlovable (and thus tend to act like such). Boogie is a very severe case of being a nice guy. This guy pretends he's Mr. Rogers while being a total cu** in private.
-
Kindness is more about being trustworthy I think. Treating the other person's interests as your own. And nice guys aren't kind. They act conditionally with the expectation that being nice will get them pussy. They can be very entitled and lash out if you don't give them what they want. They are low energy and low self-esteem.

You don't know that. Your being really close minded and argumentative.

There are also people who find school interesting. Your acting like your experience is universal.

I guess you learnt nothing at school then.

I guess his esteemed position kept him insulated from his problems to a certain degree. It's why rich and powerful and heavily privileged people tend to lose touch with reality. Textbook example of being intelligent in one area and a dumbass in others. Why self-help is so great. It keeps you in touch with reality because you learn that there is always another level. Consider how insane you would get if you got super successful without any of the principles. You'd turn into a Trump.

Reading daily is like the index fund strategy of learning. Steady wins the race. Boom and bust autism holes is a niche style.
-
It's easy advice and it will educate most people more than the alternative. It keeps you reading. It's a simple trick that can get you a lot of results because you make learning a consistency. Most people don't learn anything constructively at all outside if such techniques. There is a lot of high quality information in books that you can't get just through the internet (unless your a pirate). Sounds neurodivergent. Of course if your learning style is tumbling down an autism hole then reading books daily will feel stiffing.

@Someone here It's probably not the case that anyone, let alone your sister, are trying to break you. It's very rare actually that anyone has that much interest in someone else like that. People just be acting out sometimes. It's simpler and less drama to clearly communicate and/or remove yourself from a person than it is to beat them up. When you beat someone up they will never forget it. They are more likely to forget an argument though. Beating a little girl isn't the chad move either no matter how annoying she is. Losing your temper like that is going to stain your self-esteem.
