@newstart_2024 Did a 30 day one. Incredible. Hope to do it annually. Memory went through the roof. I was remembering details from childhood that were long, long buried. Creativity was fantastic. New approaches to old problems. Whole new concepts.

Carlos Whittaker did a 7.5-week no-screen experiment and the results are wild. No phone. No TV. No laptop. No watch. Nothing. He even got his brain scanned before and after by a neuroscientist. The outcome? His cerebellum healed years worth of damage in just seven weeks. His cognitive memory score jumped from the 50th percentile to the 99th percentile of adult men in America. He said he felt like a completely different human, sharper, clearer, more alive. This one stopped me in my tracks. I’ve been feeling the scroll fatigue hard lately, and hearing someone actually measure the difference with real brain scans is next-level motivating. Our constant screen exposure might be doing more quiet damage to our brains than we realize. Sometimes the simplest reset (doing less) creates the biggest upgrade. Have you ever done a serious digital detox? Would you try one this extreme?

@Steve_Sailer @DanFriedman81 Yeah. A real " must read"

@DanFriedman81 On the other hand, Yglesias is pretty good.

Matt Yglesias is a blogger. He is guy with a bachelor’s degree who posts his opinions about things on the internet. His standing is exactly the same as Roman Helmet Guy’s, which is: His writing is influential to the extent people find it persuasive. We no longer live in a world where some people are arbitrarily designated as the good and important opinion-havers, and those people become the columnists and are real thinkers and intellectuals, while everyone else is just the schmucks on the “letters to the editor” page. The walls of Old Twitter’s garden have been torn down. Vox has been sold for scrap to Rupert Murdoch’s second-favorite son. Anyone can put on a Roman helmet and build a platform now, and their opinions are just as good and can be just as influential as Matt Yglesias’s or Nick Kristof’s.

@WeldrSkeltr If all you have to offer are bread and circuses, and you lose the circus ... well, the collapse is not far behind.

Chicago politicians: ‘Sure, build your dream stadium… but first, eat the $500M+ Soldier Field debt we ballooned after you already paid your share!’ 😭 Bears dropped their $200M 20+ years ago like adults. Illinois turned it into a forever-credit-card nightmare. This debt drama is the reason they’re bolting for Arlington Heights or Hammond—no more ‘earlier speculations’ needed. Who’s the real gambler here? 🐻💸 #BearsLeavingChicago #StadiumDebtFail” This Soldier Field debt saga is the actual underbelly behind the Bears potentially ghosting Chicago. Forget the polite “we want a modern dome” talk; the TikTok rant nailed the leverage play. Bears and NFL ponied up their ~$200M back in the early 2000s for that ugly spaceship reno. Government floated the rest on bonds + hotel taxes, Bears kept paying rent/tickets/concessions the whole time. Illinois? Refinanced like a dude dodging calls from collections, let interest compound, pandemic killed the hotel revenue… now taxpayers are staring down $350M+ principal (closer to $500M+ with everything) through the 2030s.

It's foreign remittances. The Indian economy is smoke-and-mirrors. It depends on their expats sending money back home to keep the lights on. It's not "brain drain". In fact, it's the opposite. the more low-intelligence people they send overseas to send money back, the less there are at home.

Sec. Rubio is spot on. We’re overhauling our entire immigration system — and the world needs to understand: the era of business as usual is over. Things are changing. Why does the Indian government focus so heavily on exporting its students instead of creating real opportunities and development at home? Brain drain is a choice. Great answer, Secretary Rubio! 👏 What’s your take? Drop it below 👇 #ImmigrationReform #AmericaFirst #Rubio

@1_mike_martins >"Canadians" >Canadians are being smeared I see what you did there.

Canadians are Pooping on Beaches in Thailand 🇹🇭 #Thailand #Pattaya #canadians #travel

@AntiFeminismAU With such solid, profound decision making capabilities, wouldn't you want her as your nurse?

Remember the Asian woman from NYC that was proud of her high body count? Turns out she had 2 abortions at the age of 19 and she’s also a nurse. Surprise surprise. Never date a nurse. Also never date a westernised Asian woman - they always have the highest body counts.

@gefreiteramira "Until"? You've got that confused with "because"

you CANT handle this heat, son (look at my kar98k🤤🤤)

@WallStreetMav Survival instinct of a turnip

30+ gunshots ringing out near the White House. NBC reporter: “What is that?” 👁️👄👁️ *STICKS HEAD OUT IN THE OPEN* 🤦‍♂️

@ImperiumFirst Holy shit the needs of the desperate to stay in the public eye knows no bounds. Any port in a storm and any whore in a port.

Eat the rich niggas eating the richest man’s sloppy seconds lmaoo

>Yes, I'm going to equate the documented lowering of educational admissions, academic standards and job requirements in order to satisfy DEI requirements with the needs of "cognitively demanding" fields like "hotel management" or "gas station manager" You justify your ridiculous position with: >Well, the US has disenfranchised a generation of American men with the DEI mentality from education and employment you then advocate a false need >Well, yeah, because we kept white and asian American men out of challenging school and work positions, we now have to import millions of unqualified foreigners to fill the jobs those American men would've otherwise filled If you don't think the majority of H-1B are unqualified, I dare you to sit in on an intake hiring session with nepotistic, izzat candidates who cannot use MS Office tools at a basic level, but you're told you must train them to fill Sr. Engineering roles because the company already laid off the Americans with 10-to-15-years of experience because they cost too much. For most of the 2010s, I sat in anywhere from 2 to 5 sessions like that every year. I ended up carrying the extra responsibilities, because we weren't allowed to hire actual qualified locals. Fundamentally dishonest polling positions like "MAGA iS aGaInSt HiRiNg TeChNiCaLlY qUaLiFiEd FoReIgNeRs" don't reflect the actual qualifier to that statement of "once all qualified Americans have been hired". But of course, that wouldn't be expedient, would it? You're shallower than a puddle in a parking lot; a dipshit posing as "deep shit" ; it's so fundamentally false, you should ban yourself. visa-bulletin.us/job-title/gas-…

These same people will rightly complain about blacks asking for special preferences when they seek to participate in cognitively-demanding fields, but then not see how they are doing the same thing when faced with the prospect of having to compete with talented immigrants.

It's almost impossible to view these people as anything other than insecure downwardly-mobile losers afraid of competition from more talented immigrants.

@KoekkoekCagiula @DannyDrinksWine what's your reddit tag?

@DogInATutu @DannyDrinksWine That whole quote doesn't say anything like what you said lmfao. There is no 'much more complimentary' in there.

"What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much & feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should." --- Stephen King Full Excerpt: "Stanley Kubrick‘s version of 'The Shining' (1980) is a lot tougher for me to evaluate [than 'Carrie' (1976)], because I’m still profoundly ambivalent about the whole thing. I’d admired Kubrick for a long time and had great expectations for the project, but I was deeply disappointed in the end result. Parts of the film are chilling, charged with a relentlessly claustrophobic terror, but others fall flat. I think there are two basic problems with the movie. First, Kubrick is a very cold man—pragmatic and rational—and he had great difficulty conceiving, even academically, of a supernatural world. He used to make transatlantic calls to me from England at odd hours of the day and night, and I remember once he rang up at seven in the morning and asked, “Do you believe in God?” I wiped the shaving cream away from my mouth, thought a minute and said, “Yeah, I think so.” Kubrick replied, “No, I don’t think there is a God,” and hung up. Not that religion has to be involved in horror, but a visceral skeptic such as Kubrick just couldn’t grasp the sheer inhuman evil of the Overlook Hotel. So he looked, instead, for evil in the characters and made the film into a domestic tragedy with only vaguely supernatural overtones. That was the basic flaw: Because he couldn’t believe, he couldn’t make the film believable to others. The second problem was in characterization and casting. Jack Nicholson, though a fine actor, was all wrong for the part. His last big role had been in 'One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest' (1975), and between that and his manic grin, the audience automatically identified him as a loony from the first scene. But the book is about Jack Torrance’s gradual descent into madness through the malign influence of the Overlook, which is like a huge storage battery charged with an evil powerful enough o corrupt all those who come into contact with it. If the guy is nuts to begin with, then the entire tragedy of his downfall is wasted. For that reason, the film has no center and no heart, despite its brilliantly unnerving camera angles and dazzling use of the Steadicam. What’s basically wrong with Kubrick’s version of 'The Shining' is that it’s a film by a man who thinks too much and feels too little; and that’s why, for all its virtuoso effects, it never gets you by the throat and hangs on the way real horror should. I’d like to remake 'The Shining' someday, maybe even direct it myself if anybody will give me enough rope to hang myself with." (From Stephen King's interview to Playboy, 1983) P.S: On this day, 46 years ago, "The Shining" (1980) had its limited release in the USA & Turkey.

@GigglingGanon I thought it was a lost art. I hadn't heard it in ages. But @4:43 "I'm pressin' chawges!" renewed my faith

Group of girls getting arrested by the carload over behavior in restaurant. Playing stupid games winning stupid prizes. When a night out at Red Crab in Bowie, Maryland, took a volatile turn, it served as a sobering reminder of how quickly aggressive behavior can spiral into serious legal consequences. What began as a disturbance call—with reports of individuals harassing restaurant staff and issuing threats of physical violence—quickly escalated the moment law enforcement arrived on the scene. ​As seen in the body-worn camera footage, the situation moved from a verbal confrontation inside the restaurant to an active investigation in the parking lot. Police weren't just addressing the initial disorderly conduct; once they initiated contact, the interaction expanded into a deeper probe, demonstrating the "stacking" effect of criminal charges. ​The legal outcomes for the three individuals were distinct (The fourth individual was not charged), reflecting their specific actions and the evidence discovered during the search: ​Individual 1 (Brooks): Faced charges of CDS (Controlled Dangerous Substance) Possession—Not Cannabis, along with CDS Possession of Paraphernalia. ​Individual 2 (Yaras): Encountered a more complex set of charges, including Driving While Impaired (DWI), Reckless Driving, Negligent Driving, and CDS Possession—Not Cannabis. ​Individual 3 (Carr): Was charged with Obstructing and Hindering, Failure to Obey a Reasonable and Lawful Order, and Disorderly Conduct. ​This incident highlights a critical reality: police intervention is not limited to the primary reason for the call. Once officers arrive, they are mandated to address any infractions uncovered during the encounter. What starts as a dispute over "entitled" behavior can, in a matter of minutes, lead to a criminal record. This case is a clear example of how resistance and refusal to comply with lawful orders only serves to exponentially increase one's legal exposure.

@KoekkoekCagiula @DannyDrinksWine Most recent was according to Mike Flanagan regarding Dr. Sleep. I dont think its in King's Top 10, but it's not as harsh as the Letterman interview ew.com/movies/2019/11…

@DogInATutu @DannyDrinksWine Can you quote those later interviews? King seems very sober and cogent in this opinion.

Since that worthless trash @isamacedaali blocked me, I'll just drop this here @status_ch3ck : that's not what I said, and you're a disingenuous douche to imply i did. It's his responsibility to make sure the people he knows using the system did follow the rules

See, here's the Tragedy of the Commons writ large. Your husband used a public resource which benefited him. He didn't create the immigration program, but he used it to his advantage, along with many other people. Some of those people used the system selflessly and followed the rules. Others exploited the system without regard for how others used it. Eventually, too many people took from the system without giving back, and the system stopped. Who is responsible for the collapse of the system? Every single person who used the system, good or bad is responsible. Your husband had a responsibility to not only ensure he followed the rules, but also had a DIRECT vested interest in making sure everyone else did as well. What did your husband do to ensure that others were compliant with rules? How did he support the H-1B program to prevent fraud? Did he report anyone for violating the rules? I'm sure he had friends or countrymen ask him how they could use the program, what did he tell them? Did he help them exploit the system? So, now because he (and every one else in the program) failed in his part, the system must be reset. You're only complaining because it inconveniences you. You didn't give a shit about it before now, just only after your little piece has been affected. You're not going to find many sympathetic ears because people like your husband saw a way to wealth without having to assume any liability. Welp, those days are over. Good luck getting them back. Maybe next time you'll take your responsibilities more seriously?

@adamconover @writeinfreedom @nithyavraman Nice. Admitting you're a worthless cocksucker is the first step towards being a product human

@writeinfreedom @nithyavraman none but i'm having a lot of fun wasting your time

The Daily Mail published an article about me but all it did was prove my point. Vote for @nithyavraman on June 2nd for mayor of Los Angeles.

@Awk20000 >Also, my Mom says I'm quite the guy. She doesn't say that about Jeff Bezos. Top that, Mr. Billionaire!

Hasan compares his contributions to society vs Jeff Bezos "My contribution to society is certainly not in the negative..I think Jeff Bezos's contributions are fairly negative..ur engaging in worship of another man..debased urself into something worse than cattle" "Jeff Bezos is nothing without all the labor that allowed him to become a billionaire..was unbelievably & immensely lucky at numerous points in his life..I'm sure he worked hard..u know who else works hard, a teacher, a nurse..probably a lot harder than Bezos..Bezos has not worked 20 billion times harder" "He was however, 20 billion times luckier..making the right decisions..being at the right place at the right time, being born into the right family..fortunate to be a lot bit of a sociopath, to be able to be vicious"
