Makes sense, because in order to have an understanding you need to have an open mind and entertain different perspectives, which is too distracting when you're trying to focus on mastering something. Then again, by mastering X you'll have an understanding for the X; it's just that understanding is going to be very narrow

@Breakingthewall Delusions are real with you brother lol. You're cheering on the imperialists as they are screwing the whole world over; that's gotta be a strong case of a Stockholm syndrome, cause I can't explain turning Cuba into a Leningrad, bombing or threatening to invade random ass countries all over the world, and seriously risking MAD any other way

I often have a very cynical view of the world at large, and part of that cynicism reflects onto geopolitics, so my "joke" has its roots in that cynicism. But you do have a point that China has had very limited incursions into foreign territory during its extraordinarily long history; mostly just to influence her neighbors and maintain control over them. The majority of conflicts happened within China itself, and they were either civil wars or cases of European/Asian imperialists attacking China. So yeah, maybe I’m just engaging in that "if we do it, they must do it too" type of thinking. Maybe it’s just Western people who are fucked up idk

Update on the casualty numbers and ratios between Ukraine and Russia, coming from a fairly rigorous and objective analysis, much more so than what the media would have us believe. To summarize the gist of it, it turns out casualties on both sides are very likely much smaller and much more equal than the stats being officially reported. More or less a 1:1 ratio and under 200k for both sides (counting all forms of casualties; KIA, wounded, etc.). Granted, I did kinda fall for the 1.2 million Russian casualties propaganda, but I also felt like that had to be BS because with that many casualties something would start breaking or collapsing. There's just no way. Same for Ukraine if it had hundreds of thousands of casualties. I am much more inclined to believe this guy's analysis than the BS the media feeds us, especially after what the US is doing recently and how Europe is just bending over for it. The unfortunate consequence of these more moderate stats however, is that I think this war is unfortunately very much sustainable. Men needlessly being sent into a meat grinder for someone else's imperial ambitions

Let the West, Russia, and the Middle East exhaust themselves fighting; then we’ll see Chinese robots break-dancing in our streets. Time to start learning Mandarin, perhaps? 🤖

I could just go out and take a photo of a random ass cats roaming around my neighbourhood, there's definitely decent amount around. There's this ginger cat that's always sitting on the exact same spot on the top of a wall near our local market, and the cat is a fatass lmfao

A bit of a strange rant but we have come to expect that from you by this point tbh lmao what do you want us, or Leo to do? It is talked about very much on this forum and anytime I turn social media on, I see people mentioning Epstein, jews and 🧃 emojis. Can't do much else other than keep talking about it and keep yourself and others informed. Maybe the 'Muricans can vote for the far leftists in the next election, if there will be any that is

I never claimed that Iran isn't authoritarian, nor did I claim that the US is on the same level as Iran when it comes to restricting population freedoms. What I did claim tho, is that the US has much greater leverage due to having a nuclear arsenal at its disposal, as well as a host of other weapons and a large military (those weapons are getting clapped, tho, kinda). Consequently, it is a much bigger threat to world peace, even if US society is technically less authoritarian than that of a fundamentalist theocratic Muslim state. The US is also the one country actively provoking and waging many wars across numerous countries worldwide. Just the victims of US bombs alone would probably dwarf anything Iran has ever committed against its own population. The Trump administration is full of evangelical Christian fanatics whose views are not so different from the fanatics of other religions; it's just a different flavor of the same thing. Evangelicals in particular believe in an apocalyptic "Great Reset"-type scenario that will purge us all from the Earth, after which we'll supposedly meet joyfully in heaven. So yeah, that doesn't bode well for us. Netanyahu also supposedly has Trump on a leash due to the Epstein files, and his goal is to dominate the Middle East, which some argue also has religious motivations behind it. You might define the US as a secular country, and on paper it is, but the people at the top of the administration tell a different story. Arguably, I feel like people don't fully comprehend the gravity of the situation. It's truly astonishing that arguably still the most powerful country on Earth is being led by what seems like suicidal neocon cultists. God save us all (but not the one these retards believe in).

Honestly, I believe that this is not so complicated of a topic. This realm we are living in, is simply inherently pretty ass (or perhaps it's our human perception filter that makes it seem as ass, but the conclusion remains unchanged nontheless). The most significant and the deepest difference between areas with low birth rates and high birth rates, is that areas with high birth rates aren't smart and conscious enough to realize that life generally fucking sucks. They are simply ignorant, uneducated, poor. And they are overwhelmingly heavily religious so that's a strong driver, motivator and a cope in one. This is the truest reason, not matriarchy patriarchy BS. Point to any country on the planet and you can explain their current fertility rate situation with this extraordinarily simple logic

US is currently subjected to a violent authoritarian theocratic regime, so I don't exactly understand where is that checkmate located. Unlike Iran, US does have an access to nuclear weapons and wages offensive wars all across the planet Also, US is actually doing very badly in this war. Even from an economic standpoint.

I dissagree vehemently. There is absolutely nothing inteligent about schizophrenically trying to figure out the unknowable questions of existence, and especially what is it that happens after death, whilst damaging your mental health in the process; inteligence has to have a purpose otherwise it can be clasified as retardation in my view. Also, I've got a newsflash for you buddy; we ARE animals lmfao people somehow tend to forget this fact. We are animals burdened with excessive consciousness and you will always behave the same way a normal human would, i.e. consooom and fear the unknown/death. I am pretty much "hanging around" here for shits and giggles; observing a bunch of excessively curious primates trying to figure out something that can never be figured out. Indeed; I'm not suggesting it is possible to stop thinking about these questions but what I am saying is that you were born as a human with a certain normal levels of consciousness perceivement (to keep it old english and gangsta lul) and thus you should act as such; focus on being a normie. Once you deviate from being a normie, is when the retardation starts to occur

Becoming a programer used to mean something, you used to be that guy who made it in life. It was pretty cool in a way, not so different from becoming a blacksmith 700 years ago. Now, most of them are just OpenAI servs, waiting to be replaced LUL

5 billion years is an incomprehensibly long period of time. And the cold death is incomprehensible from the POV of 5 billion years. I always thought it's kind of a smartass and reddity thing to mention universe in relation to our lives on Earth. "Yeah, nothing matters bro, because Sun will engulf Earth in 5 billion years! And, like, Universe is so large bro, nothing matters bro!" Ok? LOL

@Cred Yeah, I'm inclined to more or less agree with this assessment, as long as we acknowledge that it doesn’t vindicate any of the BS all these other countries are committing. The US tho, might've just replaced Russia as a #1 global threat in my view. Then again, it might’ve always been #1 since the end of WWII, and we were all just foolish and naive about it. Who knows. But with this MAGA administration, I think there are no whats, ifs, or whys about it anymore. If Europe doesn’t cut ties with the US completely while this shitshow keeps going on and the individual countries won't distance themselves from this BS sufficiently enough, then that’s pretty much GGs for any interest in politics from my side. The final nail in the coffin so to speak; all the parties can go screw themselves

That's a pretty bold assertion ngl. You might want to provide us with some examples of such books, perhaps? Specifically, what exact common knowledge about North Korea is fabricated? It's one thing to claim China is being lied about; it's a whole other thing to say the same about Russia or North Korea. I mean they (North Korea) literally don’t even allow tourists to travel the country freely, they're always strictly monitored. North Korea in particular seems like the most dystopian country ever created, the most Orwellian so far by a long shot

Good luck trying to get people to fight for the Epstein Axis lol. Profesional meatheads will have to take over that role

I think it is a sign of desperation and a lack of stability of the regime. Otherwise I think they'd have implemented this a long time ago

There are no solutions I think. Burden of consciousness and complexity is too heavy to bear and people don't want to pass it down onto another generations; they are far too distracted to even attempt to do so. Entropy is winning LOL

I think simply chanting "Just stop being a cultist, bro" 3 times a day in front of a mirror should do it

Damn, didn't know you were savage like that lmfao Aussies really are the celtic/germanic tribes of modernity LOL

Their sponsorship of terrorism wasn't an official state policy like in the case of Iran, but rather represented choices of a few ultra wealthy individuals. Those individuals are above such concepts as a state and nation anyway, so they might as well represent all the other tax havens and the entirety of western world. The only reason those arabian countries in particuliar are bombed is cause US forces decided to set up their military bases there, on behalf of these ultra wealthy individual puppeteers. Their interests created the symbol of luxury and now we're going to watch it being raised to the ground, for the interests of these shadowy figures. Reality's a bitch indeed

Hmm. What about places like Monaco or Bahamas? Those are also tax havens with zero income tax, zero capital gains tax etc. and I don't think there'll be any war, like, ever. Seems to me that Dubai has just gotten very unlucky, instead of some divine karma intervention from above. Happens a lot in this grim reality we are living

Admittedly, at times I've been very tempted to use ChatGTP against her as an experiment of who would stop responding first LMFAO very silly of me, but true nontheless

Trying to have healthy relationship with the weed assumes that weed usage has positives which I do not believe it has at all. There are better, healthier ways to escape the void, but ultumately, sure; suit yourself.
