Hardkill

I am skeptical about her work ethic. I am sure that she has been some fair amount of real work to become as successful as she is but I think that she hasn't had to work as hard as she makes it out to be. I care because I am so curious and I of course wish that I could feel their bodies, especially their asses, to see for myself how real they all are.

Wasn’t Marcus Aurelius an enlightened autocrat? What about the brilliant, wise, benevolent, selfless, and extremely successful Queen Elizabeth I of England from the mid 1500s to the beginning of the 1600s?

Actually, I think I might have found the answer to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkmpqXWbP_g Though, I don't totally understand why the Republican senators Collins, Murkowski, and McCain, who saved Obamacare from the "skinny" repeal of the law, decided to vote to uphold essentially all of Obamacare.

As we all know, it's really looking like SCOTUS is going to soon officially rule to overturn the landmark ruling that grants nationwide legal abortion in America. I get that one of the reasons for this is because the US Supreme Court has had a 6-3 supermajority of conservative justices since only about a year and a half ago, after Amy Coney Barrett got appointed and confirmed by the Trump and the Republican Senate just before the 2020 general election. The other reason is because most conservatives and Republicans throughout the entire country have always been anti-abortion for many decades. That of course means that Republicans and conservatives have now finally gained the power to overturn the nationwide abortion rights, which is what most of them have been waiting and hoping for a very long time to happen. Yet, for some reason, even after Amy Coney Barrett began her time as new US Supreme Court Justice, the good majority of conservative justices in SCOTUS still decided in June 2021 to once more to rule in favor of upholding ACA or Obamacare after hearing the California vs. Texas lawsuit brought before them in November 2020. In fact, 7 out of the 9 SCOTUS justices voted against the whole lawsuit that challenged the constitutionality of Obamacare. That actually the best margin of victory that the ACA has ever gotten from the most powerful court in the country. But a certain majority of conservatives and Republicans in all of America have always been and even still to this day been against Obamacare because of the fact that most of them have always viewed it as a major socialistic law. So, why have the majority of conservative justices in SCOTUS been in favor of protecting ACA?

Ever since we were little kids, we've been taught that every negative or unethical behavior will result in some kind of negative consequences, one way or another in due time. Leo of course has mentioned before that any act of devilry may work in the short-run, but will eventually become self-defeating in the long-run. However, why have there been many examples of people who have committed several acts of devilry but never pay a price for it or get its comeuppance. For instance, former president Bush and everyone within his entire administration never had to face any accountability for their war crimes and disastrous mismanagement of the country. How about Ronald Reagan, Republicans, and neoliberals never had to pay for all of their policies they enacted which caused the decades long atmosphere of greed, selfishness, private tyranny, economic inequality and deregulation, fiscal irresponsibility with military spending, excess, neglect for those in need, exacerbation of systemic racism, and more? Why are legal experts say that it's increasingly looking like now that Trump may not ever be indicted let alone convicted for any of the crimes he has ever committed? Also, weren't there many tyrannical kings and queens and corrupt clergymen in history who never got what they deserved?

I totally empathize with what you’re going through considering how much more difficult it is to get into a top college/university than it was even about a decade ago. It also has gotten more difficult for most people to find and keep a good paying job for life compared to much earlier times. As someone who is in his 30s, I myself feel somewhat pessimistic about my future career prospects. Though, I hope that things in the future will be better. However, 20 years old these days has become like the new 10 years old so to speak. As long as you don’t do anything that’s too crazy or reckless, eat healthy, exercise regularly, minimize alcohol intake, stay away from all illegal drugs, and what have you then you should expect to have your youth for about 25 years more and maybe even bit a longer than that.

hmm.....well, then I guess it will be interesting to see what'll happen to the future of all of these social media platforms, all of the people in charge of them, Trump, and others like them.... This may really turn out to be another shitshow of epic proportions......

What would those devils be missing out on if they are living a life that is longer and more successful than most other people out there in the world? How is such a devil's life worse than a typical good everyday person who is barely able to live a mediocre life everyday? Let alone, how is it worst to be that devil than to be a poor innocent person who is actually gravely suffering from either poverty, life-threatening illnesses, or some kind of crippling trauma? You're saying that not every corrupt politician or corrupt businessmen or corrupt leader is a devil?

So much for devilry losing.....I guess being a political and business elite protects you from negative consequences.

Then, why did many tyrannical rulers like Joseph Stalin, Henry VII, and Putin and corrupt high ranking religious leaders like Pope Alexander VI live very long lives for their time without ever suffering from any serious consequences? What about all of the corrupt politicians, businessmen like Manchin, McConnell, Bush, Cheney, Trump or monstrous judges like Clarence Thomas and the late Antonin Scalia, have never truly gotten the comeuppance that they all deserved? Some people are hoping that Putin will eventually deposed or punished for his crimes, but many experts say that we shouldn't really count on that ever happening given how powerful he has become and how ingeniously complex the kind of power structure he developed for himself in Russia over the past decades that will be able to totally protect him from any of his enemies for the rest of his live regardless of what he does. As for Trump, it doesn't look like anymore in the legal system in America will actually be able to get Trump convicted and thrown into jail or even a seriously steep financial penalty for any of his crimes. It also is lately becoming an increasingly real scary possibility now that Trump could be re-elected president in 2024, especially considering that the big-tech companies are becoming inclined to let him return back to all of their social media platforms.

Some Centrist democratic economists such as Larry Summers and Steve Rattner, warned last year before the American Rescue Plan (ARP) was passed down party lines by the Democratic Congress and Biden, that the stimulus package was too big. They warned that passing a stimulus package as large as $1.9 Trillion in early 2021 just as the entire US economy was already on it's way to being fully reopened by the end of summer 2021, would more than likely contribute to significantly increasing the inflation rate within a year or so. Every economic expert within the Biden Administration, liberal economic experts not working for Biden, and all of the Democrats in Congress didn't believe that. Right-wing economists and Republican congressmen have, as you would expect, been totally blaming Biden's ARP as being one of the main reasons for the 40-year high inflation issue that's been going in America for about a year now. Liberals like me of course rarely believe in what anyone on the right says. However, Summers and Rattner were some of the very few moderate democratic economists who turned out to be right all along. Additionally, as of today, Vox just put out an article of theirs that mentions other economists who also think that Biden's ARP really did contribute to the inflation issue in the US. No doubt has the inflation issue actually been a world wide problem for about a year now, even for practically every other 1st world country out there such as UK, the eurozone, Canada, etc. However, according to the economists in this Vox article, the American Rescue Plan caused America's inflation problem to be significantly worse than the inflation problems going on in each of the other 1st world countries: https://www.vox.com/23036340/biden-american-rescue-plan-inflation

I never thought that Trump coming back to a big-tech platform would ever become a real possibility. If Trump gets back on Twitter then wouldn't that set a precedent for all of the other big-tech platforms including Facebook, Instagram, and Google for Trump coming on all Big tech platforms by the beginning of next year in time for him to begin his 2024 presidential run during the next two years? I know that all of the largest social media companies have already faced serious legal repercussions for allowing Trump to post countless totally toxic and extremely dangerous statements on each of their platforms. However, I am now starting to get frightened by the possible scenario of Trump's return to all social media.

Damn it. Well, I wonder if Musk will realize the legal implications of only having extremely limited moderation for a platform like Twitter.

I still don't get why Dorsey now thinks that permanently banning Trump from Twitter was a mistake. People get permanently banned from various kinds of platforms all the time whenever a moderator or administrator deems it fit. I got banned for life several years ago from another forum I was on because the mods and admins on that forum thought that I became an "infectious virus" for whining too much, even though the people running the site never explicitly stated beforehand that excessive complaining was not allowed. Trump already violated Twitter's rules a number of times before his account got permanently suspended. Virtually every single post he made on twitter for many years were all incredibly toxic and profoundly dangerous for the entire country, if not for the entire world. So, why are people like Dorsey and Musk even seriously considering lifting Trump's perma-ban from twitter?

Progressives are by no means perfect, but in truth they are certainly much less corrupt than the vast majority of individuals out there in the world, politically and socially. I get the idea that most people don't vote for progressive candidates because most people's level of consciousness is not as advanced as that of the progressives. However, we know that for many decades most people have become increasingly upset with the constant corruption that has gone on in politics, establishment, government. So, why haven't the good majority of the people tried having progressives as their political leaders if they have already realized at this point how corrupt and disappointing all of the Republican and establishment Democratic politicians have always been? Is it because most people fear that progressives like Sanders or AOC themselves might even be more corrupt than all of the Republican and establishment Democratic politicians?

According to history, about a decade after the First Red Scare period in America (from 1917–1920), FDR was branded by many on the right as a socialist or communist. William Randolph Hearst, a prominent figure in American history who created the largest newspaper chain ever in the 19th century and was an influential political figure during FDR's time, was at first an ally of Roosevelt. However, conservatives like him eventually got so upset and so scared of all of FDR's New Deal policies because they later on thought or felt that all of these transformative big government intervention polices would make America into a socialist or communistic country. That's why Hearst and many other conservatives back then did everything in their power to try to convince Congress and the American public that FDR's New Deal agenda needed to be stopped at all costs. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2009/sep/22/barack-obama/obama-roosevelt-socialist-communist/ After the Second Red Scare period, which was pretty much synonymous with McCarthyism, and in the middle of the Cold War period, Lyndon B. Johnson's Great Society policies was considered by the right-wing to be a massive set of extremely socialistic policies. This is of course became one of the major reasons the Democratic party lost the South, so to speak. The fear of socialism and communism was also highly prevalent throughout all of the US during the presidencies of Truman, Eisenhower, and Nixon in the mid to late 1900s. Each of those president's policies weren't nearly as transformative as those of the New Deal and the Great Society policies; however, they all still successfully passed and created several major big government policies that significantly contributed to the progress of America. So, given how much anti-socialism or anti-communism fear-mongering occurred in America from about 1917 to 1968, why weren't either the New Deal policies or the Great Society policies or even any of the new big government programs during the mid to late 1900s ever stopped from coming to fruition?

That’s quite a bit of a stretch there, but okay....

I think if I recalled correctly when I first met my ex girlfriend from cold approaching her out in the streets, I was wearing my sunglasses. I definitely remember that she was wearing sunglasses when I first met her. Haha!

Sadly, it still is true. Do you think that there is good reason to be optimistic that younger generations of conservatives and Republicans will be more liberal and more conciliatory with Democrats in the future than the older generations of Conservatives and Republicans? Also, how do you think Democrats could win back the South?

Okay, that actually makes sense. So, a lot it also depended on what each generation of folks had went through during each of their eras. Each generation of Americans spanning all the way from the early 1900s to the late 1900s had developed different kinds of long established reactions to the different kinds of political failures that occurred during each of their respective childhood years and prime years of adulthood. Do you think it also may have to do with the fact that America was much more politically united from approximately 1910 to 1970 than it has been within the last 4 to 5 decades? Could it also be that most Americans by the very end of the 70s decade, thought that government spending on big social programs and major public works programs no longer worked for the US economy because what happened during the decade long 70s stagflation period? Is it also possible that most Americans no longer believed in big government intervention because of the plummeting trust in the establishment, politics, politicians, and all kinds of other government officials during the 60s and 70s after certain other events that occurred during the mid 1900s including the crimes committed by J Edgar Hoover, the more than 40 year long Cold War, the hateful and pointless Korean War after WWII and the profound despised and truly pointless 20 year long Vietnam War, the entire Watergate Scandal, and the unsuccessful leadership of Jimmy Carter and the liberal Democrats during the late 70s? Might another reason be that the right wing intellectual elites such as economists Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek during the early to mid 1900s and conservative think tanks in the mid 1900s kept pushing their neoliberal movement for several decades until they finally succeeded in the 80s?

I see. So back then, that socialism was actually about as equally appealing as capitalism was back then. Therefore, socialism became widely considered by Americans to be a viable alternative to try out whenever a capitalist type of economy fails the people. Also, you say that the left wing labor activists were successfully able to convince the people, the Congress, and the presidency that highly unchecked free market enterprise and high tariffs was not working at that time given how disastrous it became for the whole country. Hence there was such an overwhelming mandate by the people to let FDR implement the extremely sweeping social democratic policies of his New Deal agenda. So, why do you think that Americans in the 80s and onwards became so adverse to more social democratic policies event though there was already always a strong widespread fear of left wing ideologies during the early the mid 1900s? Was is that the American people’s fears of socialism/communism became much greater than it was during the early to mid 20th century?

You mean that during those times, there were strong leftist movements that successfully advocated for saving capitalism?

Having a good looking body and face definitely helps more with online dating than with IRL approaching and dating. Yet, having a handsome face and/or a hot body are still not the only factors that determine your success rate for online dating. In fact, your body and face are still the least important factors for success with online dating. These are the things that women are most interested in when it comes to being successful with any form of online game: - How good you dress in your photos - How cool and fashionable your haircut/hairstyle is in your photos - How interesting of a lifestyle you portray in your photos - How emotionally compelling your body language and facial expressions are in your photos - The image quality of your photos. That's why you definitely need to get most of your photos done by either a professional photographer or by some really skilled amateur photographer if you can. Though the best online dating experts say that you should still have about 1-2 photos of you in your online profile that have not been done professionally or with photography skill. That way, having a good mix of high quality images and regular quality images of you will make your online profile look not just impressive and appealing but also authentic.

Another thing I'd like to mention here is that, I now realized another reason why the majority of those in Congress, including all of the Republican and some of the most right-wing corporate Democratic congressmen, aren't pushing seriously hard for any kind of tax raises at all, is perhaps because not there still isn't enough people in this country who have gotten angry about what the Trump Tax cuts did. The Trump tax cuts actually did somewhat provide tax relief for all the lower-middle class, the middle class, and the upper-middle people throughout the entire country. So because of that along with the fact most US citizens are sadly too uninformed, still too much favor of the status quo American capitalism, and probably got convinced by all of the anti-tax hike corporate lobbying advertisements out there, most Americans constituents perhaps still think to some extent that the tax cuts might not have been the worse that has happened.
