@sickburnbro It happened because the FED "paused" rate hikes. It happened several months ago when the FED paused rate hikes too.

Everyone is trying to call the bottom. Everyone knows the government can't afford to pay $1T in interest on the national debt, and so rates have to drop, and everyone is playing chicken with the FED.

@Deuces

Catholics need to STFU about MGTOW and banning waifus until they do something about their communist Pope.

Cast the beam from thine own eye, and thou shalt see clearly to remove the spec from thine brother's eye.

@Bad_Banner how are ghosts part of black culture? First they take orcs, and now ghosts?

So gay people get all the happy creatures (unicorns, faeries, etc) while black people get all the monsters (orcs, ghosts, etc.)

What is the end goal here?

@MadhatterMatador bananas are nature's candy bar.

@Deuces I feel this we're starting in the middle of a conversation, or that we started this conversation during a bout of insomnia and I forgot what the hell we were talking about.

@shortstories and those men yearn to be controlled and managed by slave masters because they recognize they're giant children.

Women are disgusted by such men, hence why male shit tests aren't common. Women want a man, not a woman with a dick.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating unwrap a breakfast burrito and cut it into slices.

@sickburnbro they're losing control of the world and getting their asses kicked by Russia. They might be second guessing their population culling agenda in light of that.

@sickburnbro weimar problems require weimar solutions.

@shortstories a shit test is when women test their boundaries and see what they can get away with. Children engage in this behavior all the time when they whine, throw tantrums, or disobey.

Men don't need to shit test women for the same reasons parents don't throw tantrums and whine at their children to get them to do something they want.

@dander FDR was the first President of the Progressive Empire, with the groundwork laid by Woodrow Wilson. The boomers were the first children born after this and were the first "children of the revolution". They began voting in the 60s, and enacted sweeping Progressive reforms that really destroyed what was left of the old America.

Things have simply gotten worse with each generation, but it all traces back to Woodrow Wilson and the Progressive era, and World War 2 with FDR.

@greentext good. Fuck white knights. Total white knight death!

@dander this isn't true. It was abandoning the gold standard that caused the stagflation, stagnant wages, and caused two income households to become required, but that has nothing to do with the current anti male policies which go back to the 60s with welfare expansion, immigration reform, and 2nd wave feminism?

Why were the 60s so bad? Because the Baby Boomers began voting.

Why were the 2000s so bad? Because Millennials began voting.

Each generation gets worse thanks to progressivism.

@dander it's only been around 10,000 Ukrainians that have surrendered, and Ukraine has stationed azov battalion soldiers to oversee the conscripts and kill them if they try to surrender.

@envelopeme look into Japanese ikigai, as they have the best formalized handle on the concept.

Also, based on your avatar, I assume you're familiar with absurdism so this is all old ground.

The point of life is to live. It's like dancing or enjoying any kind of "play". When you dance, you're not trying to accomplish anything, you're just enjoying the experience.

In fact, trying to impose a point onto play ruins the fun. Educational games are awful aren't they?

@dander @VooDooMedic I prefer the way I said it: Feminism is the Special Olympics without the self awareness.

@envelopeme meaning is inward facing. You decide your own meaning, like how your favorite song means something to you, or how your loved ones mean something to you.

Purpose is a bit different. Purpose is outward facing. It's where you fit in, your function, or what you were "made" to do.

To find your purpose think about what makes you happy that isn't simply fulfilling a biological urge, what you're good at, and what pays your bills.

The Japanese call it Ikigai.

@FinalDresdonation you don't need to rely on secondary inferences. See how quickly conservative women clutch their pearls when you bring up patriarchy, even after claiming that they support "conservative values".

If conservative women supported "conservative values" and the nuclear family, they would support losing their rights, which destroy both.

What they want is to virtue signal by making noises with their mouth that cost them nothing while being part of the problem.
