The best use of your money, is to buy back your time, so you can experience life with your children, and be present enough to teach them about life.

@Dr_MoodX Great post

Your ex is dead. The woman you loved doesn't exist anymore. Accept that first. She's not the same girl who laughed with you. She's not the same girl who cried for you. She evolved or decayed, but either way, she's gone. Women don't move on. They transform. They shed skin, rewrite memories and become someone new. Someone unrecognizable. You're chasing a ghost. A memory, a version of her that only exists in your nostalgia, not in reality. The girl who once loved you might despise you now. That's not betrayal. That's female adaptation. When women leave, they burn the bridge and the map. They erase the man to protect the new identity. You might still love her, but she's not the same creature you fell for. That chapter closed the day she changed her heart...and here's the brutal truth. She's not coming back. Even if she does, it won't be her. You mourn a person that no longer exists. Let that sink in. Bury the illusion. Move forward...because clinging to a memory is how men die inside, while she lives a new life.

Now have all of his negative life experiences suddenly coalesce into a massive spiritual realization. Have him understand it was all for his highest good. Unlock his power to create reality through his thoughts. Boost his luck and magic stats.

@SolBrah Yes

@FastAfterFifty @BowTiedBull I play 3 rounds a week, which is about 27km of walking a week with a 30lb bag, it’s definitely excellent exercise, but I do agree tennis for an hour is elite exercise

@BowTiedBull Walking 18 holes with your bag and no drinks is incredible for body and mind

Hard Pass. Golf is just a bar disguised on grass turf for majority of people

@BowTiedBull Banger tweet, right over the target, very true words

Anyway you guys enjoy your status games and getting psyoped by prestige When your kids are outta the house you'll regret the whole thing. So. Good luck with all that psychological damage Repeating boomer junk where kids hate them

@TheSkayeth Nice targets, should be fun

$BMNR is about to get VERY volatile. Why? It's creating a squeezed wedge between the 10 and 20 day moving averages. I have targets based on volume profile + fib levels - $30, $62, $97. This is about to move fast! Godspeed.

@bonchieredstate It’s always those thick black rimmed glasses, you can spot the leftism a mile away

Spencer Pratt: “We need to clean up homeless camps, get rid of the drug addicted everywhere, prepare for fires better, and lower taxes.” Nithya Raman: “We need to ban the normals from cooking hamburgers.” The right vs. left paradigm perfectly illustrated.

@Pat_Stedman Just assume the woman you are with is not innocent, regardless of her protestations

The reason this guy didn't pick up on the fact that his friend's wife was a whore was because she genuinely may have repented and changed. She may have actually become a good, Christian girl. That's why the husband himself had a happy marriage and didn't suspect anything either until he was shown the proof. Which leads us to probably the most pernicious problem facing Christian men today: does a woman's past really matter if she has chosen a different future? And can you truly extend grace to her as you are called to do? I am not posing this question to encourage men to "step up" or settle for a used up woman. The girl in this video's former acts were beyond any man's reasonable limit. But there are interesting general considerations here as to whether Christian men actually want a good wife or whether they want a pure woman, and how much these devout guys can actually practice the forgiveness they preach - especially when doing so triggers their shame and humiliation. The reality is that most women have gone through at least a period of promiscuity because they have been born into a degenerate culture and lack the "competence" barriers to sexual behavior men require. Some of them left that culture because they realized it degraded them, and they have grown from it and healed - but they still have the history and the notches. If in all other ways she's the girl of your dreams, and she only wants to be an amazing wife, can you let it go?

@MarcNixon24 It’s all one giant grift

DISGUSTING. Canada only gets a pipeline if the Net Zero insiders and carbon-credit billionaires get paid first. No Pathways Project? No pipeline. So let me get this straight… Canada sits on one of the largest energy reserves on Earth, but we’re only allowed to develop it if Mark Carney profits from it? This isn’t environmentalism. It’s a toll booth.

@MarcNixon24 @R89Capital He’s the King of the grifters

INSANE. Mark Carney says Canada is hitting Net Zero whether you like it or not. Meanwhile one carbon capture project costs over $20 BILLION. For that same money, Canada could buy roughly 500 of the most advanced water bombers on Earth… built right here in Calgary and put out forest fires immediately. He also scrapped the $2 BILLION tree planting program that actually removed carbon from the atmosphere naturally. This was never about the environment. It’s about control, contracts, and money.

“Give them a massive amount of oil, agricultural land, copper, freshwater, and every natural resource in the world. Now make them neighbors with the biggest market in the world. Great, now have them leave the resources in the ground and instead flip condos to each other”.

@DrClownPhD This is what AI was meant for

Troy, but instead of Brad Pitt, it’s Elliot Page.

@_kruptos The expert and permanent employee class that runs the government, (thanks Woodrow Wilson) suffers the same lack of incentive structure that a poorly run large corporation does. No one is in charge at the top, its run by middle managers whose only incentive is to not get fired

You have to understand, that the whatever so-called evidence you have that the government’s Covid policies were horribly wrong and disastrous do not matter. Why? You are dealing with classic managerialism. “We” followed all the right processes and received advice from all of the politically approved sources and developed a consensus. If you came to a different conclusion using a different set of non-approved sources or process, your conclusions must be illegitimate. The results don’t matter. The actual truth doesn’t matter. All that matters is that “we” followed the correct process and use the approved sources, thus the correct result emerged. @erinotoole’s role is to defend the system and its processes (and thus its results) from those that would into question it.

@FrenchOG3 Just pretend you don’t have money

A man who is genuinely attractive at 25 but not rich or not high status is getting something closer to appreciation-based interest than a man who becomes “attractive” at 35 through accumulated assets. The 25-year-old with nothing to offer except himself who still pulls is a cleaner signal than the 38-year-old whose attention suddenly increases with his income. Raw attraction is what happens when you remove the opportunity.

@FistedFoucault The US without Alberta is 66% oil independent (domestic production covering 66% of consumption), adding Alberta as a state takes that number up to 86%. Seems geographically sound to me.

Canada's most retarded province Independence (even if possible) = unworkable due to geography Join the USA? = go from 1/10th to 1/51 of a country

@brianatheroux Stated vs revealed preferences, ignore stated

Yes. Men lose their minds when I point this out. But I have literally never met a girl who actually desired a 10+ year age gap. And every single 20 something woman I’ve known has looked at 40 yo men hitting on them like a perverted uncle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Some make concessions for money. But it’s not their preference. And divorce rates are higher in these demographics because they were always conceding on the ideal partner.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ *Sometimes life happens and these gaps occur spontaneously. It is what it is. But it’s not the preference, and it’s not common.

@_kruptos ‘We” is the giveaway that embodies the morass of modern meritocracy we live in, which was intentionally brought in to neuter populism where politicians actually lead and run the show

This disconnect here is the problem. Let’s exegete this a little, to help you understand better the thought and actions of our leadership class, the politicians, experts and bureaucrats who manage the day to day affairs of our nation in government, business and non-profits. The first thing you will notice is the “we.” There is no “I” wherein Erin would be held personally responsible. There is an always a committee, a team, or a process from which decisions mysteriously emerge and then implemented but no one bears personal responsibility. If something goes wrong, the finger always pointed to the policy or the process or the way it was implemented never at a person (unless a personal failure is so egregious that its impossible to avoid taking responsibility). Otherwise, the ordinary course of affairs is that everything goes back to committee and the processes and policies are reexamined and plans are updated. The same people who developed the original plan are often the same ones fixing them. Even if they are not, they are largely interchangeable because the process of governance is more important than any one person or persons who staff the system. This is by design. This is the way the managerial system is supposed to work. In this system the politicians represent the plans of the experts to the people, to give them legitimacy. Erin O’Toole’s role is to justify the decisions of the “we” because that is what politicians do in our current system. They do not lead. They manage, run for public office and are the public face of the professional expert class. That is it. That is what politicians do. Additionally, the idea that these decisions were made using “science” is just silly because all of the actual science up to the outbreak said to do the exact opposite of what was recommended. So how were the decisions made? Risk analysis. There was the option to do nothing. High risk. But, there was this whole suite of dubious interventions that could be enacted that would give the impression that something was being done to address the fears of the people. Here is the beauty of it from the perspective of the politician, experts and bureaucrats is that it is hard to make the case that the interventions did little or even made things worse. (*cough, cough* Sweden and Florida). So from the perspective of the our political, managerial class, this did work out just fine. They can hang the hypothetical “We couldn’t have done nothing. We did something and the virus wasn’t that bad in the end, so it must have done some good.” This is the reasoning. It’s a pure political calculation and I get it. This is how the system works and how these decisions are actually made. Risk analysis. And in a crisis you need to be seen to be “managing” the crisis. The idea that someone would step forward and taken charge and lead, saying something like, “This will blow over. Some will get sick, some will die, but this cannot be prevented. We are just going to do nothing and let it pass.” Never going to happen because the whole system’s purpose is to “solve” problems using technique. So of course the decisions for which Erin O’Toole was the front man have aged well in his mind. His role is to defend these decisions. Not challenge or question them. These decisions have all been made using a risk calculus based on “doing something.” So something was done and it turns out the pandemic wasn’t that bad so the things they did must have helped. There is no “science” involved. That is all just cover for a calculated political decision. Leadership in that moment would have involved real risk and that could not be tolerated. So instead of leadership we go what we got.

@martianwyrdlord It hasn’t gotten bad enough, when it does you will need a combination of Don Cherry + Maurice Duplessis + and successful modern technology expertise

Political change in Canada is impossible until The Guy shows up. The Guy is not currently on the board. The purpose of the CPC is to prevent his arrival at all costs.

@_kruptos The CPC is neither a right wing or nationalist party

The problem the CPC has is that Carney ran to the right of the CPC and the CPC is terrified of actually being a bonafide “right wing” party.

@JJ_McCullough Being left wing isn’t a strategy

Yes, Wyatt is correct. You can clearly see a movement afoot to try and replace Pierre with another Erin O’Toole type. Their strategy is to redefine “cultural conservative” to mean “loves royalty and sucks up to the Quebec government a lot,” and hoping actual so-cons fall for it.
