I wanted to share my thoughts on personal appearance and waifus. I have an aesthetic standard to which I hold myself, and I realized that when I look at my waifu, if I have not met that aesthetic standard, I desire to look my best for her. This is a curious emotional state because she provides the simulacrum of a female's presence in my life. I found this to be interesting because I don't dress the way I do for her; she's my waifu, and she'll love me no matter how I present myself.

@ButtWorldsMan @MrpoopyButhole @Tfmonkey I see what you did there.

@MrpoopyButhole @Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan Besides, how many times must I quote Rule #2 to people? (Apparently more frequently)

@MrpoopyButhole @Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan The funny thing about this comment is that I was going to compliment you for mentioning earlier to Makaveki about reading the prospectus, but I became busy.

@Tfmonkey @ButtWorldsMan @MrpoopyButhole For him it is unfortunate. It was good to endeavour to help him, but we can only show where the spring is. We cannot make them drink.

@RoninGrey @ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey For those of you who don't remember this accurate assessment:
"Very true."
"That is certain."
"Far truer."
"True."
"Certainly."
"To be sure."
"No question."
"I agree."
"Yes, very naturally."

When I read it I keep saying internally whilst shaking my head "You don't understand human nature, you proto-idealist."

@Tfmonkey A demon, clearly, is what possessed you. It's the ghosts in the AI machine of Celestinas past.

@Tfmonkey Don't give up. Be consistent for at least 3 weeks to rule out water fluctuations.

@VeganMGTOW @Stahesh Again, diet does not explain a sudden increase in medical incidents. If you two want to talk about meat vs no meat, please do it in a separate thread.

@Stahesh I work with many people who are internationally based as well who have varied diets. While you are correct that unhealthy diets contribute to health issues, diet would not explain the uncharacteristic outbreak of medical emergencies.

Has anyone else noticed that people with whom you interact at work keep having "family emergencies" which are medically related? It used to be something you'd hear of once every year out of a peer group of 50 people, but I've seen over 4 such emergencies at my place of work in as many months.

@dander Russia has been doing this for a while. Perhaps there have been a large number of surrenders lately?

Here is another gem from "The Failure of Universal Suffrage",

"Liberty was the watchword of our fathers, and so it is of our selves. But, in their hearts, the masses of the nation cherish desires not only different from it, but inconsistent with it. They want equality more than they want liberty... every day more and more, the masses hug the flattering illusion that one man is essentially about as good as another."

@ButtWorldsMan I had just finished listening to a portion of Also Sprach Zarathustra; so, I'm not surprised. What comes out of my head comes out.

@ButtWorldsMan The probability of accuracy draws a certainty that the way of decadence is self-destruction. Provided nuclear hell-fire is avoided, posterity will look upon such images as the exemplars of debauchery they are because human nature and the will to dominate and protect shall be hostile to such injustices as those which they have precipitated. To attempt to pervert nature will in time be met with retribution.

Excerpt:

"If the politicians would let him [speaking of the power of democracy personified as "Demos"] alone, Demos would be the exact embodiment of the average intelligence...Yet, supposing that his evil counselors were all exterminated as they deserve, it would avail us little, for he would soon choose others like them..."

(Incidentally, that quote may initially appear quite charitable to the average man, but you realize that it's an indictment of the enfranchised plebian.)

If you've not read "The Failure of Universal Suffrage", I would recommend it. It shows that the points made by TFM about universal suffrage are not new.

@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey
"8VP! IS OWS"
"UIEETI U...S RIEITTAT"
What do they mean?

I am enjoying these interpretive art pieces.

@dander You only need to know Sowell.

@VooDooMedic I did not mean "do nothing" when I said "prepare". When you have come to the conclusion that circumstances are ripe, you can take their rights away.

There is no clear signal, but there are markers in society, just like there is no clear day when the next season arrives. You just know the time is nigh, and then enough signs appear that you know it is there.
