Part 1

A man is traveling by foot when he sees a party of merchants walking in the opposite direction. With that party is a donkey who is heavily burdened with all the merchandise. The man noticing the donkey ready to collapse, states, "That donkey is carrying too much! Take off some of those things so that he does not die from exhaustion!"

The merchants take a look at the donkey and see that the man is correct. They start to discuss among themselves what they should do.

I have a theory about the supposed increase in autists. The internet is to blame. Not simply because people can look up terms and mis-diagnose themselves (though this is part of it), but rather that the internet has the unfortunate side effect of allowing people to be "terminally online."

When you are doing the vast majority of your communication through text alone, you are missing most of the actual communication you would get in a natural social situation (vocal inflections, emotions)

For anyone who wants marriage and family in their future, I have some advice:

Don't marry wrong. If that means not marrying at all, so be it.

It is indeed better to not marry at all than to make the wrong choice on who to marry. I will never tell any man that they have an obligation to get married, because in spite of the fact that I am married myself, I understand that my path is not one that can or should be prescribed to all other men.

Any time I have seen some leftist dipshit argue that "Antifa is not an organization, it's an idea!" Whatever they want to claim, it really does not matter. Whenever you see some assholes dressed in black committing violence and property damage, they are cleary organized. I have no pity in the event of their arrest for being labeled as part of a terrorist organization. Because even with their retarded reasoning, they are still committing the acts regardless of their wordmagic labels.

One thought regarding governments pushing unpopular/bad policies while everyone is distracted. I don't think that they are always creating the distractions, but rather they will take advantage of any moment the public is distracted. Sure, they are doing shady actions, but sometimes it is easier to just wait for the opportunity than to try and create one. That gives them plausible deniability, since they only technically took advantage of a crisis rather than created one themselves.

Charlie Kirk was by no means extreme in his viewpoints, regardless of what is said about him from those on the left. For many of them, anyone moderately right wing is considered a hard core right wing extremist. So I do not think that they will be convinced that Charlie Kirk being killed will bring about an even further right wing figure. Because they are all Evil Fascist Nazi's in their eyes.

I know there were voices on the left that spoke out against him being killed and condemned anyone taking joy in his death, though we cannot know for sure whether or not this is geniune or simply performative. From a public eye standpoint, it makes sense to condemn violent extremism regardless of your personal feelings. And in a way, even if you are just putting on a performance, it does show you to be truly different from those who publicly celebrate his death.

The reactions of many on the left in various social media platforms is no surprise either. There were plenty of gleeful posts that are glad he is dead, though it comes off as far more spiteful since he was murdered at a very young age rather than someone who died old and with health problems, such as Rush Limbaugh.

I had a very cautious opinion Charlie Kirk. My impression of him being such a prominent figure on the right was the equivalent of the high school quarterback who just so happened to be the son of the team's coach. That is, I am not entirely sure that he got such prominence based solely on his merits. And it might be the case that the son of the coach shows some competency and plays well as the quarterback. And I could say the same about Charlie Kirk, as he has remained influential on the right.

The reason why white people are not rioting over the death of the Ukranian woman killed by a black man is due to the fact the white people who are angry about this have something to lose if they riot. The whites who engaged in riots for leftist causes did so because they had nothing to lose themselves, just like many blacks who riot have nothing to lose.

Going all in with just 10 dollars is a lot different than going all in with 10,000 dollars.

While I find certain aspects of accessing content such as games, shows and movies to be an annoyance when they are exclusively locked to different platforms, I do not agree with the complainers who seem to think that it is a violation of their rights that they have to pay for additional platforms in order to have access to everything.

Last I checked, video games, movies, and shows are not necessities. Complaints about this being some moral wrong shows that you have it pretty easy in life.
