Seeing the news on the market crash got me curious on my work retirement account. I can confirm that it went down about 10%. Since I am nowhere near retirement, I am not worried. Though I do see where some might not take such news well.

It has only been a few days, so I am not going to see this as the worst thing ever just yet. Though since I was still in school during the housing crash, this might be the worst thing I have experienced myself. But it is still not having me worry yet.

@internetfreak What came first, the barriers that separated the customers from the workers or the frequent robberies and assaults on those businesses?

Putting up those barriers comes at a cost, and it would not be done if there was not a need seen for it. The alternative is that the business no longer stays open, which would then result in complaints of "no businesses are willing to serve us in our neighborhood."

@deprecated_ii it's also a lot easier to get a ton of gasoline versus getting a ton of lithium. But the resident midwit here would not account for that either.

Get a load of this guy:

"The OKCupid blog post does not prove that the Redpill men are correct about dating, because things are different!"

Yeah, things have gotten worse with dating apps. So your whole "it doesn't prove anything" is meaningless. Besides, men can observe with their own eyes how bad it is to try and find a worthwhile woman on a dating app.

@ButtWorldsMan >If there's a 28 year old man and single
>red flag
>"There's a reason he's single."

Don't you dare have any gaps in relationships as a man in your 20s, or else neurotic women like the one in this video will judge you as being an awful man.

I can give a good reason for a 28 year old man for being single. Because he has too many lunatic lefty women to weed through in the dating market.

@Justicar reading through Judges and Kings in the Bible should make the it quite clear that even "God's chosen people" constantly screwed up and invoked God's anger. So the idea that Jews today could not possibly be in the wrong is not supported by Biblical standards. So I would appreciate anyone who calls himself a Christian to not give Israel a free pass to do whatever they want because they are "chosen."

Boomer hatred by the younger generations exposes how we are not going to be able to solve our problems even when the Boomers are long gone. Both the right and left younger gens do not like how the Boomers got most of the wealth, but we come to the crossroads for what to do as a result. We still argue whether to cut government spending or double down on it, so the dying off of the Boomers will just have us repeat things with a new generation becoming the most despised.

@deprecated_ii >Women know the difference

Any woman who cares this much about clothing is not worth having a relationship with. Such a woman will make impractical choices across the board for the sake of status, and that kind of woman is not going to be willing to have a necessary discussion about budgeting.

I think I found a great wife since she understands what it means to budget and make more practical choices than the average woman.

@LukeAlmighty leftists at their core are motivated by their desire for equality. So they will do everything to attempt to uplift every group that is not equal in some way, whether that is equality in achievement or acceptance.

That becomes a problem when reality demonstrates that equality cannot be actualized. And when it comes to degenerate behaviors, they cannot be accepted in a society that wants to survive since those very behaviors cause less people to care about maintaining society.

"Get with the times" is a terrible line of reasoning for why you should change what you are willing to accept in society. The "times" are not some entity that has an inevitable trajectory in the direction of "progress." It is formed (and in many cases forced) by many different factors.

Who is to say that the trajectory cannot be changed? Someone who just wants you to conform to their libshit ideology would think so.

@judgedread @EvilSandmich when they banned people from going to movie theaters, a lot of people got used to not watching movies at movie theaters. And it sure has not helped that the movies are worse, making the idea of the experience less appealing.

@deprecated_ii the purpose of punishment for crimes is not merely for the criminal to face justice. It sends a message to everyone else that they will also receive brutal consequences if they make the same choices as the criminals.

Singapore caning their criminals is extremely effective because even the most stupid people understand painful consequences.
