@moonxtide @thechosenberg And your unwillingness to improve. Or even try. You can get a partner. Wake up. You have one life. And one of the most important decisions you will make with the biggest effect on your life quality is who you choose as your partner.

@moonxtide @thechosenberg Plenty of people that are a part of your "race" are able to find long-term partnerships. It's your self limiting beliefs that are the real problem.

Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_·
Have you ever watched a horror movie with vampires? Not sexy vampires for middle aged dumpy wine aunts to masturbate to, but actual lore accurate vampires? The kind of movie where your grandfather is scratching at the window asking why you won't let him in, but there's something wrong with his eyes and the tone of his voice, and either that's not him, or worse yet, maybe it is him, but with everything that made him love you stripped away and replaced by insatiable hunger? The main character is never stupid enough to let him in, is he? It's always grandma. About halfway through the movie. And she's always the first to die, slaughtered the moment she opens that window, but almost everyone else sheltering in the house quickly, follows, leaving the protagonist and his scantily-dressed girlfriend to flee across the moors at night, pursued by the blood-hungry corpses of everyone else they ever loved. You've seen that movie, right? Well, I feel like I'm in that movie. It's not that I hate grandma. She's nice. Loves people. Bakes cookies. But she keeps trying to open the goddamned window. Every time I point out that some institution of our former society is being worn as a skinsuit by corrupt self-interest masquerading as socialism masquerading as compassion, there's always those guys who are shocked and betrayed that I attacked their beloved thing. No. Your beloved thing is gone. It doesn't matter what it did for you 30 years ago. It's not 30 years ago now. The soul of your beloved thing was eaten by a monster, and now it has become a monster itself. It doesn't matter whether I'm talking about the Catholic church, Christianity in general, the Republican party, the American Medical Association, the NRA, Disney, whatever. It's always the same. There's always the guy who is shocked, angry, and betrayed, because we're both supposed to be "right-wing", and here I am, attacking his beloved grandpa. I must be an evil nihilist straight from the bowels of reddit. But I am not trying to rob you. I am trying to help you. That is not your grandpa. That is a vampire. What's almost worse is that there are some guys who do, eventually, understand. After they yell at me a bit and call me a grandpa-hater or something. But the first thing they say, when they figure it out is... "Can't we save the skinsuit?" They're still hoping, on some level, that grandpa is still there. That there's a cure. That they can have their beloved institutions and traditions back. Well, I'm not hopeful. I mean, I can't say for sure whether they can or can't, but that's not important. That's the wrong question. We can't worry about saving Grandpa right now, because we have to save ourselves first. We have to survive the night. And if you're not willing to stake Grandpa through the heart for that, or, worse yet, if you try to stop the rest of us, yelling "Grandpa! Noooooooo!", grabbing at someone's wrist as he's trying to raise the big wooden mallet, then... Well, then you're not an enemy, but you are a liability. And so we have to put you in the back seat. We can't stop attacking Vampire Grandpa to spare your feelings. The hour is too late for us to listen to friends who can't tell the difference between us and the enemy.

I think we can agree the issue is internationalist leftism. Reactionary right-wing stuff can be an issue too, but they're exactly that. Can we make a pact to destroy the Communists and their ilk, together?

@moonxtide @thechosenberg A lot of men would find you attractive if you build a "sexy" athletic, fit, healthy body. If you are able to get fit your options will widen. Even if your face isn't "perfect" or "optimal".

@frozenaesthetic ChatGPT: Claims that left-handed people are inherently faster under danger, more criminal, or linked to presidents are not supported by strong evidence. The “sinister = left = dangerous” idea is just historical cultural bias, not biology.

Left handed people existing breaks a rule in evolution that nobody can explain Only about 10% of the population is left handed and that number has stayed the same for 10,000 years It never goes up and never goes down Evolution isn't meant to work like that, traits spread because they are useful or die off because they aren't Left handedness doesn't do either and stays the same percentage across every culture, country and population They process fear differently and react faster to danger than right handed people They are different neurologically and slightly overrepresented in certain criminal populations and significantly overrepresented among US presidents The trait seems to produce extremes Ancient cultures were afraid of them, the word "sinister" originates from the Latin word "sinistra" which means "left" or "on the left side" 10% There's always 10% Never more It was decided that was the exact number needed in the population

@KickMeHeight @kunley_drukpa This is the same recycled colonial narrative used to dehumanize indigenous people and justify mistreatment. Posting it like it’s truth just shows you didn’t bother checking a single serious source.

BUYING ALCOHOL FOR ABORIGINALS 🇦🇺 Aboriginals really striking in appearance in person when you meet them for the first time. Very distinctive physiognomies, don’t want to call their look archaic but that is closest descriptor I can think of One thing about having these kinds of facial features is that they make the people look much older than they actually are. Was in Alice Springs in Australia, this is ‘major’ outback town in the Northern Territory. They have a lot of ‘abbos’ milling around in groups here, you walk around and they’re all sprawled out on the grass together. Lots of them aren’t really employed and many get some kind of government grant. Very hard not to stare because if you’ve never seen full-blooded aboriginals in real life before (like I hadn’t up until that point) like I say they’re quite distinctive looking Walking around the town, there’s a group of abbos milling in a park. One of the women comes up to me: [In a very strong bogan Australian accent while repeatedly scratching her face] “Ah yeah hey mate how’s it going mate you alright mate hey I couldn’t trouble you for sam help could I?” Was one of first times and I had spoken to an aboriginal before “What do you need?” “Ah yeah mate well see it’s my birthday mate yah know and ah I was just wondering if you could go in the bottle-o for me and grab us a few stubbies yah know” [scratches face again] Because of her very distinctive facial features was finding it difficult to focus on what she was saying, was looking directly into her eyes, couldn’t really take much in… “Why can’t you go in and buy some drinks for yourself?” “Ah yeah naw well we’re not allowed yah see they don’t let us buy alcohol yah see because they think we’re a right load of miscreants ah yeah but you look like a nice bloke could ya go and do it for me?” “They don’t let you buy alcohol” “Yeah they reckon we’ll start causing all kinds of trouble. Nah it’s not right” [scratches her face again] “If you’re not allowed I don’t want to get in trouble myself buying it for you” “Ah come on mate come on please it’s my birthday ah I just want one little drinkie on my birthday mate” “I don’t know…” “Ah come on mate go on come on mate” [jittering] “I’m not sure” “Mate we’re just chilling out a bit at the park on my birthday just want to unwind it’s no harm mate come on help us out mate” [scratches her face again] “It’s really your birthday?” “Yeahhh” “How old are you? You must be 40 or so right?” Thing is here in my head I thought I was really lowballing it - as I say the facial features they have make them look really old. Genuinely could not tell, had no mental model for it. Thought in reality though she must have been anywhere up to about 60. The weathered skin, the nasolabial folds, the brow ridge… “I’m 18 mate” she replies

No. Global data from Pew Research shows Muslims concentrated in lower-life-expectancy countries, with an estimated average around 67 years (vs. global ~70, Jews ~80, unaffiliated ~76). This reflects geography, economics, and healthcare access more than religion. Muslim-majority nations have seen gains (many now 70+), but no evidence they outlive other groups overall. Alcohol abstinence helps longevity, yet other factors balance it out.

Friends, stop drinking alcohol. Not cut back. Eliminate. > alcohol increases cortisol > disrupts REM sleep > accelerates epigenetic aging > shrinks hippocampal volume > elevates resting heart rate > raises inflammatory markers > impairs glucose metabolism for 16 hrs One drink does that.

@space0dddity @HalfHammerRises @Lfromthenorth Not the R slur. Using the r-slur isn’t just “a joke” or a casual insult. It carries a long history of demeaning people with intellectual disabilities. When you use it, even offhandedly, you reinforce the idea that being disabled is something to be mocked or looked down on. 😡

"You wont be spared just bc you're transphobic!" 🤡 Bro, I'd much rather have a beer and a conversation with a christian conservative who believes in traditional marriage but recognizes me as a lesbian who should be able to live free from violence and discrimination, than a liberal who'll look me straight in the eyes and tell me I'm a nazi bigot for not being into dick. 😶

We live on a planet with 1.3 billion habitable years left. We've had rockets for 69 of those years. In that time, the cost of reaching orbit dropped from $54,500 per kilogram to $2,720, and SpaceX is targeting under $100 with Starship. If they hit that number, getting to space becomes 545 times cheaper in a single lifetime. 329 orbital launches happened in 2025. Almost one a day. The space economy crossed $626 billion last year and should hit a trillion by 2034. SpaceX just filed for an IPO targeting a $2 trillion valuation, worth more than every airline on Earth combined. Starship, their fully reusable rocket (both stages fly back and land), can lift 150 tons to orbit. The entire International Space Station weighs 420 tons. Three flights could put the whole thing up there. The engineering side of this is solved. What remains is a survival problem. Researchers published a paper in Scientific Reports calculating the natural extinction rate for humans, how often we'd get wiped out by asteroid strikes, supervolcanoes, the stuff we can't control. Less than a 1-in-14,000 chance in any given year. At that rate, we'd survive millions of years, more than enough to spread across the solar system. Toby Ord, a philosopher at Oxford who spent a decade studying how civilizations end, puts the odds of a civilization-ending catastrophe before 2100 at 1-in-6. The threats aren't from space. Nuclear war. Viruses engineered in labs that could spread before anyone understands what hit them. AI systems are smart enough to act on goals we never gave them. All things we built ourselves. A 2017 NASA paper made this case: we have a roughly 50-year window to lock in spacefaring infrastructure before resources run thin and energy costs make a restart nearly impossible. We're 9 years into that window. Given enough time, the math takes this to 100%. The only question that matters is whether we make it through the next few decades without blowing our shot.
