Can someone explain to me why are people using Tiktok anyway? I mean in a way that is relatable to me, cause I have never ever felt the need to even instal the app (except for experimental reasons), nevermind actually scroll on it. Youtube is much, much more entertaining to me and always was, and I get more dopamine from long format videos anyway. I guess you really have to be exposed to this shit from early childhood so that you're braindead enough to actually enjoy it and prefer it Anyways, I do think it should be banned, as anything comming from China really. We should replace everything comming from China with our own stuff. Seems like capitalism ironically screwed us over once again in this regard, allowing the country with a political regime absolutely detrimental to our geopolitical aims and our freedom to gain significant ammount of capital, power and influence. Oh, well. It is what it is, as they say. The genie is out of the bottle already

Take whatever job you are able to get that scores the highest on the median of these 3 axies: 1. Salary/pay 2. Convenience (benefits, how far do you live from the job, etc.) 3. Skill match (how good would you be at doing that job) Take whatever job that has the highest average score and once you have it you can worry about other stuff later In fact... this model is infinitely scalable, so this is also final advice pretty much. Born out of common sense nontheless, but common sense is not that common

I aint even gonna lie, if Zuck invented a simulation in which you'd take a role of a mighty medieval berserker warior that just roams throught the countryside and does whatever he wants - and noone can stop him - I'd be tempted to plug into that shit😂 straight up. Plug me in Zuck

If you need to google ooga booga, then you are in some serious need of some ooga booga

True essence of maleness is to just sort of ooga booga. That's the highlight of a man's life. You might try to define it by progressive woke or conservative definitions but all the highlights of my life is when I ooga boogad

They got a very nice nature. Perhaps the best in Europe, or among to the best for sure

Oh yes, woke progressive jokes, trully a peak of humor. My tummy had a good work out

Perhaps. I'll let you know when that happens. You'll be the first visitor/tourist of that nation

No, yall just boring as fuck. If you aren't then you should be able to prove to me that yall aren't. Not shame me for being a man. Tell me something about your country that spikes any ammount of dopamine in my brain. I can't think of anything. You're the same as Switzerland in this regard

Sounds like the most boring country on the planet

Israel should be treated differently than Ukraine in terms of it's military support. I think US should continue to support it just so that the vaccuum wouldn't be filled by China or Russia, but US should demand a certain level of accountibility out of Israel in terms of leaving civilian Palestinian population alone, and taking concrete steps to resolving these issues in a non violent manner, while remedying any damages and atrocities Israel has commited towards Palestinian population. Military aid should be leveraged in this manner, perhaps placing some restrictions on weapons aid every time Israel doesn't accomplish certain demand or a goal towards this direction. Maybe even economic restrictions if it'd make them reconsider their anti Palestinian policies. And after the war is war, there should be a serious investigation and proper war trial in which all war criminals get proper punishment (from both Israel and Hezbollah sides).

It's not that funny, actually

I swear, only Indian men ask these types of questions. No offense. Just is what it is

The only way it's gonna dissapear is if the need itself dissapears. Probably only way to do that on a mass scale would be A.I. sex robots/girlfriends. But they have to be several levels bellow human inteligence, otherwise feminists and some other moron movements would start arguing whether it's not an exploitation, and that since they're a sentient beings we should grant them rights equivalent to those of human beings. An ideal sweet spot would have to be found in terms of their software capacities

Of course, let's see men as enemies. That'll solve the problem, right? Just lock up the men and prostitution will dissapear. Briliant logic. Expected from a feminist

@Twentyfirst I'm not going to answer you on any of these points because you have a clear anti western bias. It's just so evident and clear. You also love to be a slave of authoritarian society. So maybe you should move there if you love them so much. China is the pinacle of what such a society can possibly offer, it's as authoritarian and Orwelian as it can possibly get if we exclude countries such as North Korea and Eritrea. As far as I'm concerned, from a bigger picture standpoint, this is a debate of relativism vs absolutism. You, already believing that your structure of society is already the best and me believing that mine is the best. What you are doing is you are using relativism against me to beat my arguments, but my arguments are based on data. Then you use relativism again that those data are somehow wrong because the universeties happen to be situated in a western country. But that's not a valid argument, because in that case you are basically admitting that if those same markers or other markers were measured by your country, they would also be wrong because they'd be skewed by your country's ideology. Then you try to dismiss those markers altogether and just use a bunch of whataboutisms about the west, purely based on your subjective feelings. And that's where we ended it, pretty much. So, since in this debate you failed to provide anything objective to justify your relativism, I objectively came up on top of this

They are our opponents geopolitically because they are acting against our interests just like we are acting against their interests. And it's definitely how they view us as well. I don't know if you were born yersterday or something LOL

@zazen I meant muslim countries in that instance. Yeah, China is something else tho, obviously. It's the most powerfull opponent of the west by far, definitely a lot more powerfull than Russia I assume no sound human - except that troll over there - considers it a good country to live in, right? Right?!?

@Twentyfirst Yeah yeah everything from the west is a propaganda, west is evil, west started all the wars, west did this and that, blah blah blah Everything and anything to mantain a collective victim mentality and shift the blame to the west, while yall are objectively worse IN EVERY CONCEIVABLE MEASURABLE METRIC. Even in wealth. Since you failed to respond with anything even resembling a well structured data-based objective answer, I think I am done here

What? What does have to do with traffic commute?😂 and where do you have that 90% figure from? I would like an exact source and how you calculated that exact percentage please😂 or was that will of the Almighty? Yeah, that's how it works. That's how it works in vast majority of countries nowadays, in fact, including all muslim countries. Soooo.... your point is?😂 Where's that popularity? Nobody in the real world gives a fuck about him except for some weird niche internet echo chamber weirdos and all these other right wing grifter attention seekers/monetizers. The fact that you're even mentioning him makes me take your arguments even less seriously😂 Yes. During history, we more or less always mantained our superiority over the rest of the world. Then when the age of collonialism came we dominated the whole world. We won over the whole world at times at which everyone was a savage and every nation aimed to expand selfishly and did not give a shit about anything else. You guys were no different. You had the chance to defeat us, why didn't you do so? But we nevertheless dominated and now the times have changed, Europe has become more tolerant and peacefull while you guys remained pretty much savages. Yeah in the past we may have been mean to some of you, so what. Deal with it buttercup, is what I say. Yall have the opportunity to become as advanced as us but instead you'd rather just stay in your little comfortable fundamentalist religious bubble. Normally I would agree with you on these points as there definitely is some truth to what you're saying, but seeing as you definitely wouldn't do the same for me and would never acknowledge the other side even for a milisecond, I won't do that for you. Yes, we won over you during history and we became a lot richer than yall because of it. So what. It was mainly African continent that was the biggest victim of our exploitation, not you muslim necessarilly. The exact opposite is the case actually. What social support do yall offer? I'd like to know it. What does that have to do with that marker? Can you prove with actual data that this is what happens in majority of cases or even sometimes? Or is that another one of your claims that aims to invoke baseless fear and doubts? Well you maybe should Yeah, get some anectotal evidence from people brainwashed by their culture. Sure, sure. Better than objective data am I right? LOL Oh yeah, Russian news LOL what's next thing that you recommend, watching Hitler speeches? LMAO Worse things than that happen in your country, I guarantee it. I'm not gonna even mention them Yes it is. It's what makes us superior. Because it's in the best interest of people to be liberal and tolerant. That's what leads to best life.

Yeah so what? That's what's going to happen with all the countries on the Planet eventually. The rest of the world (the poor parts) just hadn't yet realized yet that making a bunch of fucking kids isn't the only purpose for their existence. But they'll learn eventually

Doesn't matter. Facts are facts. Go measure all these markers individually for yourself (quality of life + measure of freedom) and you will come to the same conclussion. These are the markers: - Purchasing Power Index - Safety Index - Health Care Index - Cost of Living Index - Property Price to Income Ratio - Traffic Commute Time Index - Pollution Index - Climate Index - Rule of Law - Security and Safety - Freedom of Movement - Religious Freedom - Freedom of Association, Assembly, and Civil Society - Freedom of Expression and Information - Identity and Relationship Rights - Property rights - Business freedom - Trade freedom - Regulation of labor, credit, and business - Size of government - Access to sound money Additional markers not considered but still important: - Income inequality - Education quality and access - Employment and job security - Social support - Life expectancy and health outcomes - Civic engagement Some muslim countries may rank fairly high on some markers, for example Quatar on purchasing power marker (cause it's an oil shilling country of course LOL that's why they're so rich) but overall muslim countries rate very very low, kinda comparable to Russia almost LOL You can do less stuff than we can. Try to refute this statement please LOL I'll wait That's mostly Americans. And yes, capitalism + lack of education and lack of personal responsibility does screw many people over, so what. We're still better of than yall are LOL

It's facts measured by objective metrics and markers I define freedom as what it actually is, as, you know... ability to do some stuff? The bigger the quantity of that stuff you can do (whilst not hurting or limiting ammount of stuff someone else can do) the bigger your freedom is. I mean, you can make up some other definitions but it's probably gonna be BS and inferior compared to this one We also have the freedom to prosper and, you know... be better than yall. That's why we're actually better than yall. If there was only an option to destroy ourselves, then we wouldn't have freedom, logically and literaly, by definition. LOL but I guess yall have the "freedom" to stagnate, so... enjoy it? LOL Yes and no. Your goverment doesn't give a shit about you either, btw. The culprit is capitalism and your country has it too. Yall are just poorer than us and have less freedom. Therefore our quality of life is superior That's what you're doing. You are a master at it

Here's a list of top 50 countries of the world acccoding to the Quality of Life Index from Numbeo and the Human Freedom Index from the Fraser Institute 1. Switzerland 2. New Zealand 3. Denmark 4. Finland 5. Norway 6. Netherlands 7. Luxembourg 8. Sweden 9. Australia 10. Canada 11. Ireland 12. Estonia 13. Germany 14. Iceland 15. United Kingdom 16. Austria 17. United States 18. Czech Republic 19. Portugal 20. Japan 21. Belgium 22. Slovenia 23. France 24. South Korea 25. Singapore 26. Spain 27. Malta 28. Lithuania 29. Taiwan 30. Italy 31. Poland 32. Slovakia 33. Latvia 34. Greece 35. Cyprus 36. Israel 37. Chile 38. Uruguay 39. Costa Rica 40. Argentina 41. Mauritius 42. Croatia 43. Hungary 44. Malaysia 45. Romania 46. Thailand 47. Bulgaria 48. Brazil 49. Montenegro 50. Bosnia and Herzegovina Notice how we had to go throught 19 western countries, for a non western country to finally show up. And those non western countries have a very similiar political alignment to us anyway. Notice how there's not China on the list, and notice that all 3 countries that are sort of muslim (have a slight majority of muslims) are on the bottom of the list. Coincidence? I don't think so. Anything else is a dog's barking. And I refuse to let my oh so beautiful and perfect mind get clogged with these streams of inferior opinions

@Twentyfirst Western world is superior in almost all tangible metrics compared to the rest of the world, including freedom. Since we literaly have less restrictions that you muslims do and you have admitted that already. You also admitted that you have basically no problem with being a slave to a so called "good system". How can Chinese be more free when they literaly have less freedoms than we do? Your views are just so twisted and illogical
