@aakashgupta Trees around a house/next to it is a pain in the ass. 1 cleanup in the fall 2. Storms, always having to worry about it falling down or big branches breaking off. 3. Roots ruin a lot of things concrete, plumbing pipes. Top pic is better

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild. A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute. Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home. So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room. The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely. The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running. Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

i'm a believer in the looksmaxxing movement i like it because its not powered by insecurity but instead by autistic pragmatism it's not "i'm ugly", it's "my canthal tilt needs to be 120deg" AI is changing things. making money will get harder. IRL experiences will become mainstream again. looks will become the only way for men to ascend. the looksmaxxing movement is based. its part of the deeper blackpill movement around ascending by any means necessary. it taps into the ethos of young men in america who feel left behind. those men are real, those men need purpose, and those men are powerful

@ETEssential @QBakels @noetic_healing What are you implying this will achieve? I'm Orthodox, btw

@QBakels @noetic_healing Fasting Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Late nights praying. Giving up meat and alcohol and obviously no drugs. Child's play.

@genXcessive @noetic_healing I do have the same question. Of course I'm ignorant, but I don't see how it's more difficult than trying to be Orthodox and loving/prayerful while working in, let's say a ghetto retail store. Not to say it's easier... Just different?

@noetic_healing Why, what is the point of being a Holy Hermit?

@elonmusk Grok is broken. It relies too much on our chat history for fresh prompts. And it seems to be catering to the lowest common denominator, i.e. no I didn't mean "epitome," I actually meant "epitemia."

@ramonos We get it. You don't have a jobm

@whoisssash I was wondering who tf is telling the truth and posting sensible content, and then I saw you don't have a massive following. Makes sense 👍

How crypto really works

@0xSweep @cz_binance Wild guess, but he probably wasn't funneling enough funds in their direction

@cz_binance why were they against you

The people who are aggressive against me were all SBF supporters… 🤷‍♂️ Gary Gensler, Elizabeth Warren, and…

@omedia_jyu I let them

@PicturesFoIder Exercising while pregnant is healthy. This is dangerous and irresponsible

Some people are just built different

@RoarWeb3 Probably don't

What advice will you give to someone who's just about to join crypto?

@jaydyer Your Kokesh debate made me question my worldview in 2016/2017. I listened to a lot of your lectures on Orthodoxy for years after that. But I'd probably have to give credit to Pageau for getting me to actually walk through the church door in 2022.

Leave a comment if debates helped convert you to Christianity/Orthodoxy:

@hydrocephology @a_westgate

This book is identical in structure to orthodoxy including the theology of the person of God as the only path to God. It is astounding how identical everything was to the desert fathers. Hinduism is probably the most vivid prophecy of Christ I’ve encountered. In many ways it Predicts the gospel much more clearly than the Old Testament. You can shit all over people who misunderstand but that’s like shitting on Christianity because of prots

“No you don’t get it, Hindus are REFERRING to the same God”

@hydrocephology @a_westgate Go to church.

@The_CJJC @BerzekSavant @noetic_healing I agree it's not the least confusing phrase. But the issue is of translation. The word is used in 2 senses: God's creation vs. the fallen world. "May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world"

@The_CJJC @BerzekSavant @noetic_healing Orthodoxy isn't a materialist paradigm. It sees the structure of reality as constituted by persons. So "the world" implies the mystical, relational aspects between persons and everything else. We don't look for sin in the external world, but in how we are relating to it.

@The_CJJC @BerzekSavant @noetic_healing In the context of Orthodox Christianity "the world" refers to "the passions," i.e. the deadly sins. Check out "DEATH TO THE WORLD: The Last True Rebellion" on YouTube.

@byanymeansIII @jaydyer Not really. I want to be ruled by a dictator. youtube.com/shorts/0YD5JvZ…

@headymental @jaydyer Fully delusional.
