"You spent $3,000 on a pressure washer to land a $600 pressure washing job?"
"That's right"
"But a Mexican took the job for $100?"
"That's correct, Dave"
"So you spent $22,000 on coding school, but the coding jobs are all taken by Indians and AI?"
"That's right, Dave"

Dave Ramsey says a $600 pressure washing job can be the first step to making 150K a year "You don’t want to be 63 years old still pressure washing. But to get through this week, you can do a lot of pressure washing" "Use the pressure washing money to pay $10,000 for code school, then go make 150K a year coding, every move should be a step toward where you want to be in 10 years"

Canada in 1914 had a population of 8 million people
India in 1914 had a population of 315 million people
Canada was a young country, only settled for a hundred years or so
India was tens of thousands years old
In that time Canada led India in every single technology advancement, from electricity, transportation, communication and agriculture
Canada didn't want to let in a bunch of Siks because millions of them in tens of thousands of years couldn't build anything of value, they didn't want Canada to become retarded.
Since then, Canada has let in Sikhs and has become the fentanyl and retard capital of the world. The forefathers were proven right.

On @FallonTonight @diljitdosanjh tells Jimmy that Sikhs weren’t allowed 2 disembark in Vancouver from the Guru Nanak Jahaz Komagata Maru in 1914 & a few days ago he filled a stadium of 55K Sikhs 2 see him 2KM from that port. Crazy to think Sikh’s run Canada’s economy today. 🙌🏽

@nosilverv You don't think glosso's selection forces might be different than the population of the third world?

The blue button / red button debate is kind of interesting.
Scenario one: you press the blue button and blue wins. Everybody wins. You are a hero. You risked all and saved many.
Scenario two: You press the blue button and red wins. Your story ends.
Scenario three: You press the red button and blue wins. You live.
Scenario four: You press the red button and red wins. You live.
Scenario five: You press the red button and red wins by 1 vote. Your vote could have saved four billion lives.
The only case where anybody has regrets is maybe scenario five. And what's the chance of that?

Blue button is correct and red is anti-civilizational.
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy
Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

Canada does not exist
34M ppl lived in Canada in 2010. It has since replaced HALF of its people
Recall: Cortez landed in Mexico in 1517 w/ 600 guys. It took *350 years of straight up extermination & forced breeding* until natives were 50% of Mexico…took Canada 20 yrs

16.7 million migrants entering Canada in 18 years is nuts.

This post is an excellent litmus test for understanding of just war theory.
Despite the fact that I can see how effective this would be, I must oppose it because the damage it would do to my enemy (who bashes in my mailbox) would far outweigh the good of saving my mailbox. Its disproportionality is opposed by our duty in charity (and even justice) to watch out even for the good of our enemies.
(Yes, by the way, I have had my mailbox bashed in by random vandals.)

It actually doesn’t make sense that Jaime wasn’t an important figure in the Greyjoy rebellion. It feels like GRRM overlooked it. He should have been there cutting down squids left and right.
Also Jaime would be the type to see right through Theon.

The Thirty years war killed between 4-5% of Europe, very similar to the world wars
The Napoleonic wars killed 2-3%
Why was European civilization able not only to survive both of those but to grow in power?
What changed?

@JamesSurowiecki Who believes in democracy at this point
English
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.
English
@JamesSurowiecki @Steve_Sailer @ElizabethGMat I simply believe in the patronymic and, by extension, patriarchal basis of our civilization.
English
@ElizabethGMat Would you tell your daughter not to marry a man who wasn't eager to take her name?
English
When you get married, if it’s a marriage that means more to both of you than a legal merger, there’s no “his” and “mine” anymore. I would tell my sons not to marry any woman to who wasn’t eager to take his name. NOT because I care in theory whether they take his or hers. But because in practice it’s a sign that she has a view of marriage that’s something other than the kind of oneness on a single team that you should have with a spouse.
Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic
I truly hate this argument, which assumes men simply have names but women’s are all somehow men’s. By this logic, it’s not your dad’s name either - it’s his dad’s. And not his either - his dad’s. Your name is actually your name. And yes of course women should have the legal right to change their names in marriage but let’s please not lie to ourselves that marital name-changing isn’t incredibly sexist and a very literal manifestation of patriarchal power. So is patrilineal naming for children, btw. One answer to “but it’s my dad’s name” might be to stop giving children dad’s name for a while.

>Be me
>I do not care what you do with my body after I die
>You can use it for organs and ballistics testing or dissection training
>Likely I will die in my 70s if im lucky with the amount of stress human society curates
>If there are no other secret monkey paw stipulations, all you've done is rename a paradise to a farm
>I can do whatever I want for 3x my life span
>This is litterally a both sides benefit situation

@LucasGaius Studies have shown the more ethnically diverse a country is, the more it is prone to ethnic divisions.
Nigeria is a prime example of such divisions.
Other studies have shown ethnically divided countries tend to be poorer.

Can you imagine the tribalism and chaos that would consume these European nations (overlaid with the map of Nigeria) if they were to be "forcefully amalgamated" into one country?
The true size of Nigeria's problems.
