@e_cdalton “I don’t want to tear a couple acronyms…I want to tear ALL THE ACRONYMS”

Calling for a complete and total stop to the knees toes guys until we can figure out what the hell is going on

Do you think there is a gift shop at Auschwitz?

@SilkPap @Cernovich From what I can see a ton of parental status and social functioning is now derived from their kids sports/activities. I would even surmise that kids being on a team is more important to the parent relatively speaking than to the kid.

@Cernovich I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Parents did not attend games, and kids certainly didn't want or need them to attend. Dads were at work. Moms were way too busy, and not interested. Kids today would be a lot better off if the parents just left them alone and let the coaches coach.

In 80’s and 90’s, parents watched games but it would be unusual to see one watching practice. Kids got dropped off and picked up.

@RationalMale @LttleGel Online dating of course has greatly decreased the friction in finding men with slightly higher incomes, so they don’t settle as easily as they might have in the past. The odds are just good enough so they decide to keep rolling the dice.

@RationalMale @LttleGel In my estimation it is not out of the realm of possibility that this woman could land a man that makes 1.5 to 2x her income. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s certainly not uncommon. This much more difficult for the man in the example…

Every aspect of the gender divide, fertility decline, marriage decline, male loneliness, female unhappiness, sexlessness, etc., can be distilled to one dynamic. Average women don't want average men. Moreso, average women feel entitled to elite men.

@shagbark_hick @lavenderleaf86 Zuckerberg and Gates both came from wealth. Maybe they aren’t the moral examples we’re looking for, but their parents station certainty helped propel their careers. Especially so in Gate’s case. One could argue Gates was mentored by his Parents in the zenith of power.

@lavenderleaf86 For real. Years ago I briefly attended a very high-end liberal arts college on a massive scholarship, and pretty uniformly, my classmates were all degenerates, neurotics, coke heads, etc. Most had trusts and so forth

Would this mean that rich kids themselves are a "psyop"? I've met plenty of very wealthy kids, trust-funders, etc, and I've never been impressed. This doesn't strike me as any kind of a contrivance or a conspiracy. It just seems like observable reality.

@Cernovich A couple Catholic hospitals in my area survive off this. They must get money from the gov or NGOs for their services.

This will increase by 10,000 times if birthright citizenship gives them all citizenship.

@jimiuorio @JoshYoung Wrong, Brin became a Republican just at the moment his villain status is highest. Republicans will now have to grapple with this.

@JoshYoung Absolutely

The Sergey Brin story condensed… 1) “my family fled socialism in 1979” 2) “I began fighting hard to bring socialism to my new home” 3) “I succeeded in bringing socialism to California” 4). “I’m moving before I have to give these annoying socialists my money” Accurate????

@shagbark_hick I wonder what an analogous job in the Middle Ages would be to the 9-5 commuter. I’m no expert, but my guess is that most merchants probably stayed pretty much put except for excursions/trips. That career style would probably be baffling to them.

@shagbark_hick When agrarian life was pevelant all this was mixed. Your dad was working a field out back, a kid to run out to help him, talk for a bit, learn etc. In a weird way those working from home on laptops have a more similar life to this than the strict 9-5 on site worker.

During early childhood, not only should the mother not work -- the dad should really try not to work very much either. Families should go to great lengths to maximize time spent with mother, father, and child. This is a lot of why I've ever been into extreme frugality, anti-9-to-5, etc. Because I had an absent father, and it sucked. I noticed that many of my childhood friends whose fathers worked "real jobs" suffered similar problems as I did. Nobody was teaching the boys to be men; dads were too busy working to protect their daughters. Even if mom was home and didn't work, they missed out on their father's presence in the home. The kids that turned out the best seemed to have grown up in households where mom never worked, dad only occasionally worked (part-time, self-employed, various "hustles"), both parents spent tons of time with the kids, and usually, this lifestyle was made possible by the fact that the family owned their home outright, with no mortgage. "Jobs" as we know them are a novel product of the industrial revolution. Nothing about them is really anthropologically normal. And so far as family formation is concerned, a father who works a full-time job is almost as much of as hazard as a mother who works at all. The true key is a dirt-cheap, sub-$50k house, zero debt, and an ultra-low-cost lifestyle, so that dad can work very casually, occasionally, etc.

@EdLatimore @Insanevidz_ @grok That guy seemed like a ticking time bomb who would have used ANY excuse to try and kill someone. Same outcome of the drunk had cursed at him, or someone cut him off in traffic.

@Insanevidz_ @grok do we know how this case ended?

A drunk guy grabbed a guys wife ass in front of him... Is this the only way to respond?

@MatthewParrott There’s a second part to this, in which investigation into such matters is a time consuming grift in and of itself. Endless astroturfed review channels, posts, threads etc. It’s an information overload and minefield all at the same time. Hard to know what’s up and down.

This is how america has become a third world country over the course of my life. Everything in every direction in this economy and culture is a hustle requiring you to be in a constant state of frosty. Wasn't like that. Hard to explain.

@Pat_Stedman I find that lots of women are really bad with spontaneity. They want things planned out and in a way that perfectly fits their schedule. Maybe it’s guys too, but it hinders organic growth/interaction.

@Pat_Stedman “…the best ROI for most women is to learn how the male ego works and to flatter guys on dates, and also be receptive and easy to meet up with, while NOT being easy to sleep with absent commitment.” This is exactly the correct answer….

This advice is correct and incorrect, because the calculus comes down to the relative value of the man and woman in the interaction. An average girl with little to offer a guy besides sex is indeed foolish to try to induce the commitment of a more desirable guy by holding off. These men don't have sexual scarcity; the women just come across as difficult and playing games. She might as well roll the dice on her pussy power. The only way a woman can successfully make a guy wait for sex (who isn't desperate) is if she offers him something UNCOMMONLY VALUABLE that makes her stand out. There are 3 main ways this manifests: - still a virgin or extremely chaste (YMMV) - exceptionally attractive - feminine and gracious behavior that makes the guy feel like a man with her Most of the women who play games around sex possess none of these things. They're pretty mids with a long hook up history who don't know how to treat a man well. They have no romantic power beyond sex, and minimal leverage because the market is saturated. Even great chemistry with a guy means only a little leeway, and if these women don't let things progress they will damage that rapport. Typically they have until date 2-3 to get sexual. A woman's game and ability to pace a man determines how long she can hold things off; if his ego is not managed he will think her reluctance is because she views him as a beta - he will bail out of pride and self-protection. But the deeper problem of course is telling women they should just sleep with guys they like on first dates means destroying their emotional pair bonding long term, because they will get more attached to guys who aren't sold on them. Eventually they will mistrust men and become numb and crass like Alex Cooper herself. There are no easy solutions for your average girl, and candidly individual circumstances vary. Some women ARE frigid and need to put out earlier, others are too loose or trusting and need more boundaries. IMO the best ROI for most women is to learn how the male ego works and to flatter guys on dates, and also be receptive and easy to meet up with, while NOT being easy to sleep with absent commitment. If you are pleasant and make a guy feel like a man, many will keep seeing you even without sex. You are creating a push-pull phenomenon that will draw him in, by meeting a need that he cannot get easily from women. He may get sex from other girls at first while you're dating (you can't hold him to celibacy, just as he can't stop you from dating other men) but eventually you will stand out a lot from other women and he'll choose you. And even if he doesn't, you still preserved your dignity.

@walterkirn Know a couple people who I highly suspect work in the intelligence world. Both disappeared on hiking trips for a number of months to “find themselves”. I’m sure we will see this in Cole Allen’s background.

Always look at the "home ground" where an attack occurs. Who controls it?

@MatthewParrott The Millennial parents I know really cherish their roles as mothers and fathers with a respect/honestly I rarely saw from Boomers. I never hear anything like the Boomer “dad jokes” being uttered about their wives and children. The age of the sitcom dad is over.

Though, perhaps, upon reflection, if you're the kind of person who is inclined to guilt trip your children for existing, maybe it is time to prune that branch from the tree of life.

A lot of the fertility crisis can be ascribed to this martyrdom framing modern parents place on parenthood. It's a toxic intergenerational poison that ends bloodlines.

@shagbark_hick Not even sure you need an actual yellow LED, just pace a yellow/orange cover over it. Also I’m sure how many people realize just how much brighter these LEDs are at night. I have little doubt they disrupt the sleep/wake cycle

I understand that many towns are changing over to LED's as their yellow sodium streetlights start to die. But why do they have to be bright white? Is there a yellow LED that is as cheap as the bright white one? I'd love to pitch my town supervisor on keeping our town yellow.
