Fuck me, eggs cost almost 7 dollars for 18 of them. I distinctly remember them being easily half of that.

I can afford them, so that is not the problem. But rather that it is a sign that things are not going well.

@houseoftolstoy Russia underestimated that the US was going to make Ukraine their hill to die on and didn't want to destroy the civilian infrastructure.

I think Putin was genuinely surprised that Europe chose to follow the US into a stagflationary depression instead of . . . not.

@Tfmonkey He calls the Russian ruble a "potemkin currency," being propped up by extreme measures. Gee, I wonder if that better describes the dollar.

Oh no, Russia won't be able to import "advanced western technological components." Hold up, doesn't the west themselves import a lot of the raw materials for said components themselves? Why the hell would they need to import it from "the west" when they can just get much of the raw materials from their own borders or from non-western trade?

@Tfmonkey In all seriousness, I can find multiple problems. First, the guy criticizes Russia for not using an air assault for their initial attack. Gee, I wonder if they had any motives for not doing this, such as purposefully not wanting to flatten everything, especially the areas they wanted to reclaim.

And he even goes into "muh sanction are crippling the Russian economy," as if the NATO countries themselves are not having major economic problems.

@Tfmonkey You said Russia is kicking the shit out of Ukraine. Well, my dear monkey, you have been DEBOONKED! This video from a large channel that totally is not being favored by the algorithms says Russia is failing in Ukraine!

Ha, I bet you feel foolish now, considering that it has an extensive list of sources for evidence:

"All videos are based on publicly available information unless otherwise noted."

I shit you not, that is what is said in the description.

@Tfmonkey I just thought of a scenario from my own life that would fit both of the categories of highly important/critical work that is low skilled. That being a summer job I did vacuum broom operating at a flour mill. It is absolutely critical to the operations of the flour mill (given how flour dust buildup can mean the whole facility exploding with just a spark), but it is a job that you can replace with nearly anyone, and therefore it is not a job that pays luxury wages.

@Punished_Potatus She doesn’t, in reality. She’s feeling the rush of playing a part that has been fed to her by media.

When NYC worshippers like this move there, they carry with them decades of media indoctrination talking up their new lifestyle - beset by ludicrous cost, violence, fecal contact, perversion, and endangerment - as proof positive that she’s strong, and independent, and brave, and better than those loser women raising 5 kids back home in kansas.

That’s why they love bragging about it like this, even when it’s gussied up like sorrow.

Men love doing things, while women love being things. She loves being a “new yorker”, she misses it, and this was a way to complain about her real issue - pointless existence - while she ‘mourns’ a missing identity she can no longer indulge in

Funny how this isn’t far removed from what I was taught growing up (with mom tsking and mirthfully shaking her head - she never noticed that even as a kid it was pretty obvious that she’d be a rudderless ship without dad driving the family, but I never said that aloud)

Still daunting though. There are few things that women can actually say “intimidate” me in the social sphere, but TBH it is a little spooky to know you have her entire life resting on your shoulders. Women often condemn us as a whole because they pick poor stewards to pair with, they end up condemning the whole structure thinking every guy will be an inept captain of the ship, or worse, abuse the authority he has. From there, they end up bristling at the dynamic, getting their hackles up, and closing off, making future relationships even tougher because they end up assuming a role of a combative second in command instead of an aid.

IDK this is the zip file form of an effortpost, you can uncompress it and get what I’m saying I gotta go. Just had this sitting on the desktop and wanted to talk about it sometime

The screencap mentions the importance of a woman having children in her 20’s. This is absolutely true. Yes women can have children in their 30’s and even 40’s. But only if their body has already been conditioned by previous pregnancies. The first pregnancies are the hardest. The body is being shaped and adapted to bearing a child. It’s not a simple thing. You can’t recapture your youth. The body goes through phases as it ages. People focus so much on their economic state when planning “having a family.” But they completely overlook their physical state. Money is easier to overcome than time.

@houseoftolstoy Always been interesting to me that they did the same for boys too.

“yer a wizard harry, look, yer actually a millionaire!!!” and all.

Written by women, yeah, but there are so many spiritual women running around that they don’t even need to provide an alternative. The few male-skewed movies we get now are an aberration. John Wick and Top Gun is all I can think of getting for the average normie.

The hero's journey (for women):

1. Be born awesome and amazing

2. Horrible men/the patriarchy hold you back from realizing how awesome and amazing you are

3. Push back against the barriers that those horrible and oppressive men have imposed on you and discover that you were amazing all along without having to put any real work in.

See how bad that type of story is? That is why so many female main character stories suck.

I really hate articles that use the "you're doing X wrong" phrasing, because it makes the blanket assumption that everyone is stupid and wrong. Yes, many people are, but how about not stating it like it applies to everyone?

@PinochetsCommieCopter they had to try and make "saline" sound bad so they said salt water. I hate journos like you wouldn't fucking believe.

Two odds cases I see in the 2022 elections, the Governor's race in Nevada and the Senate race in Wisconsin. I find it odd that these two races went Republican, considering the likely other shenanigans. Did they decide to let those ones be, or did they figure they did not have enough emergency votes to change those results?

a reminder that decades of talmudic propaganda has so effectively divorced perception of sex from its main purpose of procreation that normies value the pleasure and status associated the act so far above its actual purpose it genuinely does not cross their minds

And that is why promiscuity, faggotry, eventually pedophilia, yes even bestiality are treated by a disturbing number of people and institutions as being exactly the same as regular heterosexuality even though we all know instinctively that they are not. It is why you will see homo shit aggressively pushed on kids with the argument of "well why is this not okay if all these depictions of heterosexual relationships are fine?" Many are genuinely so debased that they cannot understand why.
