@Tfmonkey - Ah yes... One of my faves. I always thought it would make a great soundtrack to a high score.
@FinalDresdonation - Well, when you put it like that...!
So I haven't actually paid any attention to it, but a normie article mentioned in passing, that Netflix's "adolescence" was apparently produced by a fella named... Brad Pitt.
That cannot be a coincidence.
You see, it's things like this tidbit, that have me thinking we're going for the wall at full speed.
This fucking guy... He gets put through the ringer. Fair enough. But to try to get out of it, he contributes to the problem - and it's amplified.
Can't respect that.
@sardonicsmile - hypergamy is self-evident, but I think it's overblown a little.
Among other things, Chad is a man with poor impulse control. And being sought after by poor decision making females, he's never been forced to develop impulse control.
The biggest reason Chad beats her, is because a whole line of men who should've put hands on her, controlled their impulses, and didn't.
Chad knocks teeth out and breaks bones, because of poor impulse control.
@Momther - I don't have it. But I do recall the screenshot. It's out there somewhere.
@Zeb @RodrickSage - relateable. I pay for a SoundCloud subscription, for listening to music at work. And fucking SoundCloud puts fucking pop up ads in front of me, when I'm already paying them fucking money.
Why do I pay SoundCloud when I have an MP3 player and an adequate library of music? I only have one device holder in the truck, and an AI camera system monitoring me all shift, that will flag a safety violation if it sees an MP3 player in my hand. Not illegal at all, but puts job at risk.
@Lorgar - Some time ago, I resolved to stop engaging females in conversation (outside of family).
Life has been good.
@DoubleD @Stahesh - Perhaps... Though I imagine everything will be scaled down, and made much more local in a post-collapse scenario.
I tend to think of these things at the village-level. I suspect that's how our civil-law procedures originated, but that as procedures were scaled up... that as a society, we managed to zig when we should have zagged.
@VooDooMedic @Mr_Mister - sauce?
What's the app in question? I'm gonna have to verify this, I think... You know, uh, for science.
@Stahesh - The amount of bullshit, arising from some obscure lawsuit, is staggering.
I've been working to formulate a post-collapse order for some years now. Our criminal justice system (as written) is about as good as can be accomplished without omniscience or modern forensics.
But the civil lawsuits ..? Those gotta go, I think. Or else some major reform is required (like "no lawyers allowed" sort of major).
@sardonicsmile - bingo.
It's been implied that I seek to "normalize" such things, for recognizing that it's already normal. It is what it is, and we're not the ones that make it so. But when the govt tacitly approves, it's hard to argue abnormality - by definition.
@VooDooMedic - not bad... Not bad at all.
@Stahesh - My longest fast was about 6 weeks.
More accurately, it was a liquid diet. I drank plenty of juice, and I did have about one meal a week (cheeseburger). This was while on active duty stateside.
I stopped after I noticed I my weightlifting capacity dropping. I can't really remember why I did that... probably some combination of depression and curiosity.
@Shlomo - nice!
When TFM mentioned a French plane shot down in India... I thought: "Oh, a mirage... "
Apparently, it was a rafale. 🫢
Perception of Western invincibility is going down hard. Even the normiest of news sites reporting.

@sardonicsmile - This! 100%
Our society is becoming Jewish (as defined by alt-right). And it's not like Jews are Svengali goblins... Hypnotizing the masses.
We are becoming matriarchal, because long-dead men thought women voting would be okay.
Matriarchal = Jewish (not strictly speaking, but again, alt-right defined). Jewish = Matriarchal.
So I guess the Jews are taking over, and the world is becoming Jewish. And also, Christianity was created to serve Judaism - succeeding wildly.
@RoninGrey - they think it makes them look slimmer... somehow.
P.S. - I found Lions Mane supplements (available on Amazon), to be very helpful in allowing me to regain control of my thoughts.
I reached a point, where the injustice of events, led me to become obsessive. I simply could not stop my mind from focusing on troubling matters, and I burned. It reached a point where I couldn't sleep - 5 days would pass, 8 days without sleep... It became a real problem.
Lions Mane helped immensely.
@TenaciousGoat @Momther - I would say that the thing that got me through all of that, and allowed me to be my best, was an unwavering commitment to the truth (finding it, and speaking it as best I could), and honesty in my dealings.
It's important to remember that we're all just people. And as long as someone is trying, then I can work with that. If not? Well... maybe wait until they are willing to.
Keep your head up, take a break if need be. And all the best.
@TenaciousGoat @Momther - And being aware of this, because I went through all that, I can look at them without anger or hatred (except for a couple of evil fucks, that fully deserved to be cut off forever). But the point is, that I took the time to sort it out for myself. And though it was difficult, and put me on the edge of sanity and self-destruction for a while... It was worth doing in the end.
I didn't just help myself, but also them (even if they can't see it right now).
