People didn't get that passionate when Tiktok was censoring China stuff (Winnie the Pooh, etc.) beyond the meme, but now that it's cencoring stuff relevant to the home-turf people are a lot more up in arms over it. Especially since if you're a user you can noticeably feel the contrast.

Due to the winds the sand of Dutch beaches stretch quiet a bit inland and form a landscape of soft rolling hills which merges with the greenery and the woods further in. You get a unique blend of pine, tall grass and a sandy ground across a bouncy landscape, spotted with ponds and wetlands teeming with bird life. During spring this landscape is in full bloom with a myriad of flowers. You can hear the bees zoom like echoing cars. It's an invading desert that got overgrown. The dutch dunes is one of my favorite nature spots. The beaches themselves stretch a great distance. The landscape is surprisingly hilly for a flat country due to the wind moving so much sand. You can breathe in sand particles miles away from the ocean if the wind blows right, making you cough.

It's multifaceted. A big part is politics feeling overwhelming and confusing. A lot of people find it hard to fathom that there isn't one guy in charge and different parts of the government seemingly working against each other, like the CIA. Globalist economics and long-term economic exclusion are also an important factor. Like, how many times have you heard that boomers had it easier and then pulled the ladder up after themselves. There's also western hypocrisy over national sovereignty and resentment over policy that didn't have the publics concent, like immigration or abortion. Americans also just don't value education that much, which is crucial for democracies. In general, it's resentment from a bunch of things piling up over time. Eventually people began losing faith in the system.

Conspiracy theorists always have the bot respond "do your research" when you question their Jason Bourne fanfiction. "Just open your third eye my neegus. The snow is made of plastic."

This is instagram slop with a filter, like a dot over the I.

Boy, this is bullshit.

Isn't NY a bigger finance center than London?

No Bali, and you call yourself Aussie.

I bet there's a market for a cheaper (and vegan) alternative to whey.

You can buy them from pet shops I believe. Aquarium bros use them for their fish, but be careful. Apparently there is some bacteria in the duckweed that has been near fish.

Regulations will have to be strict, but that is true of any food product.

I also watched that video and I thought it was a bit exageratory, so I did some more research. It absorbs toxins and heavy metals like a sponge, so you have to grow it on the right water. It also destroys native ecosystems by blocking out sunlight. Once it is introduced it's impossible to get rid of. A single tiny plant can take over a whole pond like the flood from Halo.

This issue is more about the electorates relationship to politics and democratic decline among the population. People willingly vote in your Trumps and view ICE as the police "finally serving justice". Fundamentally there is an issue of distrust of government, finding it all too obtuse and resentment over economic exclusion and policy that didn't garner civic consent like migration. Pretty good illustration of what I mean of the mindset that a lot of this people have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiE_chT_Cl4

It's all the preservatives in them big macs he eats.

It is a matter of substance, not style. Like, why do you assume that I'm not interested in the topic? You have a habit of jumping to conclusions.

Claiming truth or expertise doesn't automatically make it so.

I find the initial ideas about ND here interesting but lack the basic rigor to really take seriously. Knowledge is treated as exhaustive in a prescriptive manner while being based on broad generalizations and hard assumptions. The way that neurotypical people are flattened and charicatured borders on being like Incel logic. You might as well start calling them NPCs or something while your at it.

Autism and CPTSD can have similar symptoms relative to the social domain.

Inspired by that blog post about digging up dino bones for rich people (that belongs in a museum by the way). Compile here all unique careers and life purposes that you have come across so we can expand our imagination for what is possible. If it's online, paste a link and explain a little bit what makes it special and/or interesting or just write about it. Feel free to share your own life purpose. --- I'll start. This company is specialized in making food commercials. It's a highly artistic job that combines the culinary arts with cinematography and engineering.

Historically the norm, but since post-war there has been a period where it became the norm to move out as soon as you gained financial independence and for the general population to atomize, but now it is becoming more common again for adult children to live with their parents due to the economy and all. Historically, independent living is a luxury to a certain degree. I find this exciting because it feels like nature is healing in a way. The atomizing of society has had certain negative effects and eroded much of its community. There are a number of important and significant things that multi-generational living can provide, such as stronger bonding, stronger financial and social resources and support for raising children, taking care of elderly, etc. Divvying up responsibilities can get those people really good at their responsibility, like a traditional housewives in the old days could be extremely good cooks (not saying that we should go back to traditional gender roles by the way or to the same capacity). Apes together strong basically. When everyone has to survive on their own as independent units, we're overall less effective socially compared to communal cooperation. My hope is that multi-generational living could help prevent certain social issues, such as the mental health crisis, the elderly crisis, and preventing overstretching healthcare, housing and other social goods. Overall, people will be effectively more self-sufficient which frees up more resources. In our modern age, we have forgotten how to survive without relying on faceless institutions. Historically, we survived communally by pooling our resources and assigning responsibilities. A degree of communal living could make society much more effective, healthier and happier and help insulate against institutional failure/collapse, like elderly neglect at big senior homes or economic downturn. Communes is how humans survive in the absence of a government taking care of their survival after all. Western and especially American culture is very independent though (America also has a lot of land) and it's no longer a given that work is locally accessible, a big reason why people move away from their families. We don't exactly build houses for multi-generational living and we have higher standards than Cambodians. We're not all going to be sleeping in one giant bed in a tiny living room if we can afford otherwise. It would demand greater interpersonal and communication skills and certain personalities are not built for it or get along with their family like that. If you don't want to play the game you shouldn't have to. Culture is probably the biggest barrier to accessing this social strategy in the absence of economic restraint.

Communal living is how humans have survived for thousands of years, since before humans where recognizably sapien. It's the norm and it is social atomization that is the exception. Communal living is how humans survive in nature when they don't have a big government taking care of them. And it's clear atomization has certain issues and limitations that are dysfunctional, like increased loneliness, lack of purpose, poorer health and a society that is overall more fragile and dependent on institutional resources. Like when the housing market is in a bad place, it more readily stagnates and loses it's ability to give people dignified lives. In the middle-ages people had to be nearly completely self-sufficient with the exception of military, which was what the role of the king amounted to essentially (in simple terms). Middle-age people knew how to survive. And it absolutely is a matter of culture. Where did the notion that moving out or becoming completely financially self-sufficient are basic milestones of adulthood? Multi-generational homes are common in Italy and that is not a poor country. If there's no baseline appetite for valuing connection over independence, then the idea of multi-generational living becoming normative will never take off in a way that has cultural staying power. For a similar reason, you can't introduce western style feminism and democracy in the middle-east. Values determine what your willing to open your mind to, if at all. Survival ultimately decides what works and atomization is a survival strategy in a globalist economy. If the assumption that atomization is substantially dysfunctional then you'll see people opting into the alternative out of necessity, which is partially already the case right now in my opinion. Indians immigrants are a great example of a successful demographic which is strong in big part to strong family ties. That is a culture with family values (to borrow a historically misused term). Though granted it comes with downsides with pressures to conform. My vision of multi-generational living would minimize toxic conformity, but of course it is only realistically possible to maximally transcend conformity through autonomy. This whole thing is not meant for people who are trying to awaken.

True, but generally you need autonomy to not be subject to conformist pressure. Good luck breaking from religion on your parent's money.

People on this forum are overall going to have a greater bias and need for independence and avoid conformity. It's correct then to be more autonomous.

Can only happen if you have the culture for it. The west is too independent minded to even consider it without interpreting it as a kind of failure.

The average person doesn't agree with mass migration or transitioning kids, propaganda or not.
