JUST FUCKING GET IT - says Ralston, while I, the naive hippie, just can't seem to grasp what the fuck a cup is. -
Nah. They are too busy giving scriptwriting and producing jobs to each other in a big incestuous bureaucracy.

You should be using whatever resources you have to get a better job. Use your money to learn a new software, enroll in a course, whatever you need to get a better job. McDonald's is a place to escape. What kind of work do you like doing? Use the money to get that kind of job.

At the very least, the soundtrack has a few bangers.

Casting Jared Leto in anything is THE red flag.

Obviously. Holding double standards is a key to power. You couldn't do it without a double standard.

Talk to physiotherapists and go to back pain specialists to get scans done. There are dozens of causes for back pain, and you need to be absolutely certain of what it is before suggesting a treatment. 3 years sounds like it could be a chronic illness or arthritis.

Always seek help. Because when one is in pain, they cannot trust themselves to be objective about their own suffering. Have hope that you can make a better future for yourself.

Depends on the type of liberal you are talking about. In Australia and the UK we make a distinction between wets and drys. Liberals are generally orange, but can lean either side of the spiral. The wets go to the opera (green), the dries go to church (blue).

Owning houses and property as an investment vehicle. People working in factories, mines, and other dangerous professions. Essentially extreme capitalism and anything that puts life at risk. In a couple hundred years (maybe even less) it will be ridiculous to have humans doing most things. We are entering the machine age - AGI and robotics are poised for their own industrial revolution. -
What do you mean extinct? One is running the white house.

Green politics has barely even begun to emerge and is still riddled with many bad ideas. Don't expect to see it replace orange any time soon.

I would strongly suggest you secure another job or try content creation as a side thing for 3-6 months before quitting. From personal experience, I can tell you quitting a job without a proper plan was a big mistake.

What do we think of this guy? I'm a fan so far. He blends geopolitics with mythology to make sense of the world. He speaks very archetypically like old school Jordan Peterson.

But that Charlie Kirk quote assumes that everyone is reasonable. There is no such a thing as a reasonable disagreement when one of the parties involved in being unreasonable. -

That depends how much we let them get away with. -

Don't whitewash how much hate and bigotry he spread by diminishing it as 'speaking his mind'. He damaged people with his words. His words were not harmless. Saying 'some gun deaths are necessary' in front of an audience of millions is not a harmless thing to say. -

Here's a thought experiment: What would CK have said if someone like Cenk Uygur or Hasan was shot at a speaking event? And CK was rewarded for the things he said. That's the tragedy. A movement that rewards that kind of rhetoric is sick to the core. -
Socialization is a human need. It's a hardwired genetic need to socialize. A lack of socialization leads to cognitive decline, I know because I have experienced it. Unless you have exceptional genetics - you should recognize that socialization is a need like water and food and get as much of it as you need to be healthy.

Right guys? 👀

This is very easily faked with visual effects software. Notice that there's only ever UFOs when the camera isn't moving?

Fascism is late-stage politics. Fascism cannot be defeated without totally decentralized power, something people are not willing or capable of doing. No democrat or socialist are able to defeat fascism because they are not able to decentralize power. -
I mean, they're making Spaceballs 2. Alien: Cage is very possible.

If you do decide to move, try to make sure one of you will have a stable job and life to live before you leave. I once made the mistake of moving without a good plan and it took me nearly six months to properly recover.
