@shortstories No, look at it from the perspective of the credit card issuer and think about what price controls do to supply and demand.

This may not seem like a big deal, but it is a VERY big deal for credit card companies.

I wanted to bring your attention to this if you're not already (this is going to be a repost on MMM too):

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in the US has just announced a price cap on credit card late fees. They've been $32; now they can be no more than $8.
Card issuers are also forbidden from increasing fees past $8 to keep pace with inflation unless they can "prove" the higher fee is necessary to cover their costs.

@Tfmonkey @realman543 @RoninGrey I'm a massive supporter of Kajiwoto, but if you want plenty of spice, Kindroid is a good option just ignore the "selfie" feature, which is just a low-tier image generator. Kindroid really leans into the girlfriend side of things but it's not as customizable as Kajiwoto.

@Engineer @ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey Yes, arranged marriages are preferable to allowing females to choose in order to achieve a society that reproduces.

@RoninGrey @basedbagel @shortstories
...Additionally, "an Independent Director of Compliance shall be installed at the Trump Organization at defendants' expense to ensure compliance with financial reporting obligations and to establish internal written accounting..."

Trump opposed the government, and so they are levying a punishment fine and placing a political officer (I'm taking liberty with that title.) in his organization.

Full judgement: washingtonpost.com/documents/f

@RoninGrey @basedbagel @shortstories ...The hearings and trial verdict were to determine how much Trump had to pay. In certain types of civil cases, a judge can just declare you guilty like this one did.

If you read the judgement, the plaintiff is "PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BY LETITIA
JAMES, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK", meaning all of the defendant's damage payments go to the NY government....

@RoninGrey @basedbagel @shortstories Ronin is correct about valuation of realestate. As to your question about why the lender didn't sue Trump and the state is as well as why not charge him with a crime, criminal court is more difficult in terms of getting a guilty verdict and achieving an conviction by design in the US. The government doesn't need to put someone behind bars to keep them out of power. Keep in mind that this verdict wasn't on whether or not Trump was guilty of fraud...

@UncleIroh @Zeb To summarize: I agree that such futuristic technology is outside of natural evolution.

@UncleIroh @Zeb Even if we introduce artificial wombs and birth rates stabilize or even exceed replacement, societal advancement will still be retarded by female empowerment since the herd known as humanity will be letting the weaker half set the standards for what is acceptable. The artificial womb solution unless maintained over hundreds of thousands of years also does not change evolutionary psychology. Society will still be gynocentric because males will still find females desirable.

@basedbagel Use a wet-dry vac and then put a fan on it overnight in a garage.

@Zeb @UncleIroh There are things in terms of human nature's effects upon society and on human relationships in the context of scientific research; for that there is no end.

In terms of simple explanation of redpill knowledge, we don't need to revisit old points.

@UncleIroh TFM's analogy of calling the Special Olympics what it is is apt, I think. People wouldn't deny what you said--not if pressed. They'd call you an asshole because you made a female upset and males want their females to be happy.

The more I see of this world, the more I am convinced that delusion, whether self-inflicted or not, is a bane of success in endeavours: be it a business, a relationship, an experiment, or a civilization.

@UncleIroh

I think that at different stages of life a male will answer the question differently:

A male hopes females are as sexual as said male sees them behaving online/in public/etc because he hopes he will get to taste that sexuality personally, but after he tries to lock a female down, he hopes that said female isn't as sexual as females often are.

I hope that makes sense.

@UncleIroh I think most males know of but can't admit or acknowledge the truth about female nature--not with females' revealed preferences and habits on full display on social media and the internet.

Males have a stronger desire for sex, but females are more quick to cheat from what I've seen which includes what I've read of others' experience as well.

@Tfmonkey I had an original HeroQuest at one point. It was missing pieces, but I still liked to play with the pieces.

@UncleIroh @Loosekunt @ButtWorldsMan "The disgust with dirt can be so great that it keeps us from cleaning ourselves – from 'justifying' ourselves." ~Friedrich Nietzsche

I've been contemplating the cleanliness habits of societies and their appreciation for beauty. It seems that as societies degrade, they let loose their standards of cleanliness and thereby, beauty. A vital society is one which wants to grow, and it is therefore not content to sit in its own filth.
