this tumblr post being one of the greatest contributions to modern philosophy

@UsmanAbidemiEsq None of the above. Something like mutilation of a corpse unless the heart attack was brought on by fear from seeing her about to shoot him then id advocate for manslaughter.

Criminal law students should attempt this.

@justalexoki I was too tired one time and she literally turned into a siren, seducing me from bed with sexy poses and whispers. Another time I was playing a game with friends and she just did me while I was playing. The latter was a top 10 life experience.

women say men can't handle rejection but please try to say no to your girl when she wants sex, just once. absolutely mindblowing experience

@jaystheowl @nikicaga Jays you are tweaking on the TL 😂

@LazerVX @nikicaga gang gang

Since everyone correctly concluded Ukraine wins in weeks, here's a more interesting question- what's the largest modern country 1941 Germany could defeat?

@romanhelmetguy An addition to #5. Women choose career over "trad" because a lot of men (especially men in their 20's) really aren't dependable enough for them to relinquish the prospect of self-sufficiency.

I’m convinced that all these guys who come up with proposals to “fix the fertility rate” have never talked to a woman. They treat it like an economics problem they can optimize, or even worse they just tell women to have kids to “save civilization.” If you actually spend time with women who aren’t having kids, you’ll find they almost all fall into one of five buckets: 1. Dating problems. They were in some 5+ year relationship (or a series of relationships) that stole their youth and left them so jaded that they’ve given up on finding a man who could be a good father. 2. Family problems. They come from such a dysfunctional home that their own childhood holds few happy memories, and they’re terrified of recreating those conditions with their own children. 3. Health problems. A ton more women than you think have conditions like endometriosis or PCOS or other health complications that can affect fertility and make having kids more dangerous or harder to do. 4. Career goals. They’re convinced that they have something huge and unique to contribute to the world either professionally or creatively, whereas “every woman can have a kid,” and so to them, having children sounds like a waste of their potential, like giving up. 5. Lifestyle goals. They’re really into traveling and being independent and getting into “adventures,” they want to explore the world and experience everything, and the idea of giving all that up to sit at home and raise kids makes them want to die. If you really want to fix the fertility rate, and you’re not addressing at least a few of these, your solution is useless.

@len0killer I hope he sees this. Not because I agree but because it would be hilarious.

David Spade should have been buried with Chris Farley like a pharaoh’s concubine

@signulll Speaking in corporations, all of them really assuming their product can be replicated by a new corporations. But companies, idk, maybe I'd miss some media and gaming companies.

which company, if it disappeared, would you never mourn?

@SchopenhauerNow I also think the golden mean is a very practical and useful tool in the modern age even though philosophers may have created new categories and argued strongly against previous ones Aristotle laid out.

@SchopenhauerNow Nicomachean Ethics by Aristotle. Once heard it described as the easiest to digest and best way to understand what ethics in philosophy, a primary category, is all about - couldn't agree more.

which philosophy books would you recommend for absolute beginners?

@ywomendeservles W mom

@MikeRxqe Crazy to see this on the TL I just played ghosts last night for the first time in years and on fog someone turned into Micheal Meyers. Had no Idea that you could do this or the predator one - so awesome!

Call of Duty Ghosts had some of the most unique DLC we've ever had - on the map Ruins, you could become the Predator by completing a Field Order

@Dr_Science_MK2 @FoxNews To be fair she did start by saying her son was killed from gun violence so she likely lives in a place where she could be affected and has had a family member who was. But, the sentiment is true for many dems and her question being directed at RFK doesn't really make sense.

@FoxNews You can tell that gun-grabbing Democrats aren't really concerned about gun violence due to how they act despite knowing that a significant number of us own guns. They openly engage in tyrannical behavior because they know they're safe. Imagine what they'll do once they disarm us

Rep. McBath: “Do you believe that gun violence is an epidemic or a public health crisis?” RFK Jr.: “I would say it's an epidemic. I think it's a law enforcement issue though and not public health.” Rep. McBath: “I find it kind of absurd to hear you say that. I really do." RFK Jr.: “You think I should be regulating gangs at HHS?”

@ElHadjiDjibri10 These guys used to be very active on ig a few years ago and believe me when I say that this doesn't even come close to the insane things I've seen them do.

@TheMindScourge American equivalent would be gated communities but they mainly exist to keep out poor people and criminals instead of invading nations.

The castle was a genuine innovation. The Romans didn’t build castles, for example - private fortification was illegal in most of the empire - and the successor states of the west continued this tradition Castles emerge in the late Carolingian. They are an expression - or arrogation - by private actors of the use of force within society. They represent a decline, in a sense, of state capacity. Royal governments resisted their spread, unsuccessfully. The rise of the castle was contingent, not inevitable. But you could not have predicted it from what existed before. It was something new Be careful when making predictions. History is not so limited as your imagination. This is maybe the real gift of the study of the past. You gain an appreciation for the degree to which things can change It happened before. It can happen again

@Ggod323 Ha! That's it? I don't remember 3/4 of my life!

I genuinely dont remember half my life

genuinely one of the best sitcom ever made when i was watching it there wasn't a single second where i was bored and intro was a banger too

First teaser for ‘SPACEBALLS: THE NEW ONE’. In theaters on April 23, 2027.

There isn't much I like about Americans, but the understated cultural taboo we have around having servants/hired help and being generally polite to waitstaff is a genuine achievement in egalitarianism. Much of the rest of the world are absolute savages in this regard.

@bdguan Tough to have the innovative edge when China has a million spies in our country.

just spent 2 weeks in china. went into it thinking we're cooked. came back more bullish on america than ever. here's why: 1. chinese citizens are way more chronically online. on the subway, train, anywhere, literally everyone is glued to their phone. gaming, short form, wechat. "don't walk and look at your phone, it's dangerous!" announcements flood crowded areas. their tiktok isn't any better, its still garbage, soft-core porn, etc. 2. everyone's using AI — deepseek, kimi, doubao. but nobody's afraid of losing their job to it. here it feels like there's an existential crisis every week. in china, nothing. i think the CCP won't let companies mass-layoff workers. great for short-term stability. terrible for long-term competitiveness on a global scale. 3. china doesn't produce weirdos. i sat in on a class at tsinghua (china's MIT). not one student spoke unless the professor read their name out loud. no questions. no debate. chinese education produces world-class executors, not contrarians. it does make it a safer place to live though. 4. china doesn't have christianity but it has something america doesn't have: a shared story everyone believes in. every person age 25-70 watched their country go from abject poverty to skyscrapers in one lifetime. that kind of collective proof has a deep unifying effect. compare that to how divided we are right now. america has a huge meaning vacuum that needs to be filled. nevertheless, i return back to my home in america reinvigorated. because everything i saw confirms one thing: china optimizes. america innovates. and the innovators always win.
