The “Zoomer Meta” is to live with your parents while working full time with low/no student debt and used cars you purchased with cash until you and your bf/gf can afford a down payment on a house. Then at age 28 or so you may begin your life.

Tip for beginner photographers: It’s all about the camera. Buy the most expensive camera you can find and point it wherever, taking pictures at random.

When we're all 65 we should tell the younger generation of raped and castrated slaves that back in our day we saved money by working 24 hour days and devouring the weakest of our brethren

When he was 17, Napoleon's gaiety excited great jealousy among his fellow officers. He recalls his 1st love with Mlle du Colombier: “We were the most innocent creatures imaginable; [...] it will scarcely be believed that all our happiness consisted in eating cherries together.”

This nigga was posing butt naked like a faggot for all of Twitter to see not long ago and now he’s threatening people’s kids One of the most unhinged people on this site

To be clear, it wasn't a "crusade against elves" it was a crusade against people who live in trees. A lot of those happened to be elves, sure, but we also killed plenty of gnomes and mousefolk. Even a village of giant sentient owls. Hard to call any of that "racially motivated".

P-patriot?

It is stunning how under wraps this all is, relatively speaking, especially considering “satanic neonazi cult grooming your children” is the exact, precise thing entire moral panics have been fabricated over

I agree that the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax. My reason for it is different: it's about clarifying who pays. Right now you have tens of millions of people paying painful taxes, and they're under the impression that their taxes make a difference. They assume that the government budget is funded by taxpayers exactly like them, they've been told that the rich aren't paying their fair share, and so forth. The reality is different: the income taxes paid by these people are negligible (~1.6% of total federal tax revenue). It doesn't really matter. But it has an enormous political impact: they believe that by paying these dollars, they are core contributors, and the outrage press has them believe they're getting short-changed for their contributions. The reality is the opposite, they are net beneficiaries by a long shot. As usual, there is a huge difference between "almost zero" and "zero" -- taking their contributions down to zero would make it abundantly clear that they are net beneficiaries, pure recipients, not payers. The value that this provides in terms of restoring some sanity to political discourse will probably outweigh the equivalent loss of tax revenue.

You could have a Halo 3 rocket launcher pointed directly at my head and I wouldnt unmute this video

@simonsarris I never understood the avocado toast thing. Avocados are $0.65 from Aldi and toast is one of the cheapest things in the world. How is that excessive?

re: frugality discourse, I made less than $70K post college, packed lunches, had roommates for 8 years in order to save lots of money. Then I bought land and built a house with savings. The anti-avocado toast boomers were 100% right. People are *completely* against tradfeoffs.

My hot take on orthodox dating. The issue isn't in orthodox dating. The issue is with the men before they converted. Women will not simply overlook all your shortcoming just because you checked one box. You still need to be likable and normal if you want a woman.

The average Eastern European grandmother has a better functioning understanding of operative spiritual forces than the average self-proclaimed occultist in the West.

@kingofthehood89 Sensitive young man tbf, she would do well to keep him. She could work 3 jobs to support him reading Schopenhauer and the late scholastics all day.

Picture me, a lovely Catholic girl who’s saving myself for a man who won’t hold my hand because every time he does, he gets hard and cries

Either be a human man with human desires, or abandon it entirely for the monastic life. Stop half-assing asceticism.

@ariibay He should get a job

My toddler who is unemployed and wants to eat salmon for every meal walks into the kitchen 3yo: what are you doing mommy? Me: frying fish 3yo:Salmon? Me: No 3yo: oh. *quietly walks away* Few mins later he returns to the kitchen 3yo: well I like Salmon *walks away again*

People with 50 hours weekly screentime on Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Netflix “DoorDash is cheaper than cooking when you account for the cost of your time”

@_its_not_real_ Yeah it sucks to be Gen Z, but my coworkers who eat out twice a day are not making it any easier on themselves.

Been a strong defender of zoomers getting boxed out of a lot of the housing market and jobs but buddy, these food takes are insane. Ya'll are eating out way too much. Stop paying the door dash tax.

@robbysoave He goes on to say the government should spend less (roughly 3%) so that the poor wouldn’t have to pay taxes

Interesting remarks, but this is basically how things are already. Currently, the bottom half pays only about 3% of all taxes.
