  1. Public demonstrations of dissatisfaction with the regime and widespread disobedience definitely do help in establishing conditions for a potential replacement of the above mentioned tyranical goverment, given that the external circumstances allow for it. This is what's forgotten in here. You're not actually overthrowing the goverment, you are just setting up conditions for it to be eventually possible, but that opportunity has to come. Sure, regime popularity matters but unpopular regimes can last for a very long time. Needless to say, this topic a bit of a copium
  2. Hahah I did come across these folks multiple times in my life and, in the heat of the moment purchased a book from them twice. Funny lads
  3. Conscious-ness is only a thought in your head bro, it's only a concept, there is only Phil's infinite neo advaita wisdom which is the very fabric of this existence and to which we should all bow down to, there is no "you" to perceive the genius of this post
  4. I'd imagine that not bumping your friggin' head into a ceiling or a door jamb every time you make even a slightly sudden move is somewhat of a plus. The number of times this has happened to me is crazy — the ceiling is still undefeated against me
  5. That is not only a problem of LLMs but of technology and internet in general, not in this very specific sense of it's potential to create mental illnesses, but in the general sense of making people delusional. You think you are having this great tool which makes you more efficient, smarter, more competitive on the job market or in business - or in any other area in which humans compete in - but it is all just an illusion. No tool which is readilly accesible to everyone is gonna make you more competitive, or smarter, especially not the kind of tool that kisses your ass all the time and attempts to do your entire thinking for you (because you allow it, let's not forget to mention personal responsibility here, clearly these people are mentally vulnerable individuals) Since I'm basically only using ChatGTP as a glorified upgraded Google, I did not experience these drastic negative mental effects at all, however since there are certainly free A.I. tools out there (or a combination of them) that basically do the same shit, and the Google itself inserted A.I. into it's main features, I might reconsider my subscription to this tool, I couldn't be too arsed to care about it but now that I saw this video, I'm feeling kinda inspired to do so
  6. Might as well send a whole robot lookalike to do the talking for me as well. Then once she's at my place and things are about to get frisky just quickly switch so I can perform the natural obligations
  7. I think it's mostly worn by some edgy teens who don't care about politics but that would just be my guess. Not everything is worth checking out or knowing
  8. Yeah, it hit about as much as your non existent arguments
  9. Whatever bro. You are clearly mentally deficient. I wasn't really reacting to you as much as to this topic
  10. Noone forced men to fought each other and sacrifice themselves except other men. Humans could've had a much more peacefull transition from the Stone Age to present had it not been for the men constantly battering each other skulls and stealing resources from each other. And we all know this, therefore the conclusion of this video is very much a moot point. Notice that even a dimwit such as the guy whose videos you are sharing will accidentally come to the exact same obvious conclussions a feminist would. It's kinda funny
  11. They are interesting, in the ugly sense of that word. They always make sure to look as alien as possible. Because God forbid you look like a natural human, no no no, you need to break every stereotype and you need to look as genderless as possible
  12. Your family and society around you is always going to exert a significant influence over you, that's just how it goes. You can be told how much of a BS it all is countless times but at the end of the day, just for the sake of sheer day to day practicality, you'll end up abiding by the traditions
  13. Is there actually a female protagonist in this movie? I can't tell cause I only watched the trailer and some youtuber's reaction to the movie, therefore it doesn't appear to me like this is the Marry Sue type of movie. I can't be bothered to check it out tho since I can just filter this movie out so easily just by checking out the trailer, I could already tell this movie is shit
  14. It's not even possible to set accurate prices for goods and services in a socialist system. The only way to do so is through free economic choices via a free market; otherwise, you'll always have some group of people arise (which is inevitable, because hierarchies are a necessary feature of our societies and even most living organisms) and artificially decide who deserves to get how much and how resources should be allocated. This obviously doesn't work. And on some level, it's an impossible question to answer anyway, l mean who is to tell who deserves how much? I guess capitalism comes the closest to answering that question but lacks empathy, so ideally there should also be a state strong enough to provide welfare policies for those who fuck up in life, at least to a reasonable degree. I used to entertain socialism as a viable system for some time, but I was a fool for doing so.
  15. I think there are certain traits such as modesty and general inteligence which, if you aren't raised to have both in sufficient ammounts, you'll be the exact target audience for gambling. There are some statistics that support your claim that rates of gambling have increased over the last years and decades, but I'd guess it has more to do with the increased availability, not really due to change of culture or human nature
  16. You should understand that the Great Replacement is a conspiracy theory, you know. Better way to phrase that question would be: is diversity and multiculturalism a threat or a good thing? Well, depends, are you a nazi? There's an entire philosophical way of looking at reality that would claim that it is a bad thing
  17. There is no telling what is going to happen, actually. Given enough time and enough carelessness, A.I. might just exterminate our asses, i.e. everyone, there's up to 20% possibility that's going to happen. In the short to medium term it might reinforce the current wealth inequality even further, but to think you can control and make an aliance with something vastly superior to you is just wishfull thinking
  18. Yeah man I hear you. I wish I was thinking the way you've described
  19. Realistically, working out for health is not very motivating. And nobody actually works out for health. You gotta have some other goals such as beauty, strength etc. otherwise it is never going to stick or you're always just half ass it, so it'll end up not helping you too much, imo
  20. I dissagree vehemently. Please continue lurking in the shadows and just laugh at us all
  21. Oh really? That's an interesting correlation which I ought to look into more. I'm definitely gonna think of this post tomorow morning as I'll be sitting at my desk, sipping on some delicious Wagie-o Americano
  22. I've got the similiar sort of thing with coffee, because I have it internally linked with the feelings of comfort, warmth and this sort of cozy happiness. I think that's the case for you and cigarettes. It's probably all just conditioning which just became etched into our minds over time by advertisements and people around us
  23. This is all true and there are no solutions to this, because this is just the way humanity is. Knowing this, you only really have 2 best possible options: you can either leverage your unfairly inherited abilities and circumstances - along with shitload of luck - to achieve success in life. Or - in case you don't have any abilities/aren't lucky and/or you just don't care - you can just sort of thread along in life, contributing very little or nothing to this society. Noted, in case you pick the first option, you will still be - directly or indirectly - stomping on the heads of those below you on the socio economic ladder your entire life (which is always the case whoever you are, but especially so if you're successfull). I naturally lean towards to second option due to my temperament and life circumstances - working as little as possible, only to mantain my health and grow my finances. Have a 2 room appartment which I'll never rent out. I plan on having no kids. Etc. etc. A life of minimalism
  24. That's crazy. 4 years only? This world is a joke
  25. @ivankiss Bro you are not some badass and protecting a lolcow doesn't make you a good person
