Pretty good summary of the changing geopolitical winds from guys that have a history of getting things right well in advance youtube.com/watch?v=re5Ys6…

@tigerjvideo i might be willing to get behind a very broad law requiring cigarette type labels on all influencer content. would have to be crafted in a way that does nothing to impair political speech though

2 main thoughts: 1. This will kill UGC as a medium. Nobody will trust anything. 2. This is an evil business model. Fake people selling fake products to cortisol spiked 9to5ers. Hijacking trust & raping the social contract.

@not_jeffepstein hey jeff can you recommend your surgeon? looking to get out of a bad spot myself

Hello this Palm Beach Pete just wanted to thank everybody for the support and good vibes… I’m not Jeffrey Epstein

@estherzelda0514 @CartoonsHateHer pretty much all smart guys primarily are drawn to hip width and this is a fixed preference. very strong correlation between stuff like IQ and birth weight. large breast attraction is conditional on malnourishment. if you improve a guys diet the breast size preference decreases

@CartoonsHateHer That advice took me out. Super wealthy men typically like women with proportional or small boobs. Big boobs are seen as low class for some demented reason.

A husband-hunting expert released a guide for how women can look sexier to find a rich, handsome husband--but it was light on proof. I have the proof to back up (and refute) some of her claims. Link in replies.

@valhalla_dev or its just because they see AI "girls" getting more engagement than themselves and they are lobbying for protective legal moats like everyone else with a fake job

because somehow technologists have done marketing so badly that Yudkowsky is more approachable and attractive in philosophy to sex workers and almost anyone elase than anyone in AI marketing This is more of an indictment of e/acc and Beff Jezos than anything. The Butlerian Left is a creation of marketing and education failure more than anything

@MostlyMonkey spiritually third world deport and denaturalize

The only thing that makes me mad about this is that we're going to gift this woman 50k after she made sub-market interet-only payments for 10 years Fuck her for being angry about that

@Galois_Capital @LeaderJohnThune can we force this loser to go sit in a school with immigrants that can't even add and subtract and beat him with a stick until he comes to understand that anything short of a complete reversal and remigration will destroy our civilization?

Does @LeaderJohnThune even know what time it is? The way to preserve the republic is to pass the SAVE America Act. Otherwise things get uglier because the left simply will not be allowed to take power again anyway. Do you think the plan is just for the Boss to pardon all his people before leaving office and passing power back to a left which will persecute and purge his people and supporters afterwards? You really think that history will be written where America entered a period of terminal managed decline? Be real. That is not how history was written.

@ThomBrady5 The Maduro mission was cool but the Starmer and Albanese missions are most important.

we Americans should think about sending soldiers to help the young white Australian men regain control of their country

@williameijer The conditions in the west are far worse today than what we saw in Weimar Germany and the rapidly approaching reaction is going to be even greater.

Message from a German friend: Germany is over. If you have time, read the following post from Reddit. Bear in mind, Germany's only resource was always education and good institutions. r/DePi Experiences as a teacher at a school with a high proportion of refugees - it is even worse than you think Hello everyone, I studied mathematics and am currently working as a secondary school teacher in the Ruhr area, partly due to the current precarious labor market situation. The proportion of refugees at my school, as at many other schools here in the region, is quite high. Most refugees are taught in separate integration classes, as integration into regular classes is simply not possible due to the desolate level of education. I teach two such integration classes several times a week and just wanted to share my experiences with you here. Even before starting my current job, I was extremely critical of the current migration, but my experiences in the teaching profession make my worst fears at the time seem like a benevolent utopia. For context: A large proportion of the integration classes consist of Marrocans born in Spain, but Syrians, Afghans and Roma are also strongly represented. The rest is a wild potpourri of Ukrainians and refugees from other Arab or Muslim countries such as Lebanon or Somalia. One class consists mainly of younger students between 11 and 13 years of age, the other class consists mainly of teenagers around 16 years of age. Now a small summary of my observations: In about half of the classes there is no significant literacy in their own language, just over half understand, even after years in the local school system, in about as good a German as I understand Mandarin. At least in math (I can only judge the other subjects to a very limited extent), the level of education is an absolute fiasco, even among older students. Truly the simplest arithmetic problems (5+6 or 7-4) are already very difficult. The cause often seems to be cognitive, because even if I illustrate the numbers with objects, many students are unable to solve corresponding tasks. It is currently Ramadan. Ukrainian students who do not fast must leave the room if they want to have a drink or eat. On the one hand, this is a rule imposed by the classes themselves, but on the other hand it is also tolerated or even actively supported by large parts of the other teaching staff and the social worker. Some male students refuse to sit next to female students for religious reasons. This is also tolerated. Fights are commonplace and that is no exaggeration. In fact, there is at least one fight almost every day. There are no properly maintained school folders or generally a careful handling of school materials. Most come to class wearing only the clothes they wear on their bodies. About half of the class with the older students is always delayed by at least 10 minutes at the first lesson, or sometimes 20 or 30 minutes. Even after the breaks, the class is actually only 10 minutes late each time. During Ramadan, also tolerated by other school staff, a good proportion sleep regularly in class by placing their head on the table. Female students are regularly labeled with highly obscene terms. The punishment of such statements either does not take place at all or is so restrained that repetition is encouraged. On parent-teacher conferences, 90 percent of parents, even after several years of residence in Germany, can only communicate via interpreters. A few days ago, some students proudly told me what new cell phone models their siblings and parents have, which, mind you, receive almost exclusively transfer payments. Female colleagues generally have it more difficult than my gender counterparts, who are usually at least rudimentarily respected. Some students often do not show up at school for months without apology. A rejection of other religions is very clear in many situations. For group work in other subjects that spans weeks, the results have a scope that can be achieved by those with normal abilities within five minutes. There is no mixing with other students. You like to keep to yourself. Even among refugees, groups usually form according to their respective origins. With all the negative impressions, there are a few positive experiences. A handful of students are actually making an effort and progress. These students are also the only reason why work doesn't seem completely pointless. I myself try to counteract this to the best of my ability, but this is hardly possible if there is no support from the staff and the school administration. I have already capitulated on some points because a corresponding commitment only breaks your nerves without changing anything. Many of the older students are leaving our education system anytime soon, and with that, the state is losing pretty much the only way to exert any influence. I fear that the situation in other schools often looks little better. This leads us to send school leavers into the wild year after year who neither write, read nor master the most basic primary school mathematics. Such people are not fit for any kind of work and are doomed to languish in our welfare system for life. Muslim and African students, in particular, often have an absurd number of siblings by German standards. If one assumes that this reproduction rate will not break with the current generation, but perhaps even increase given the fantastic conditions here in Germany compared to their countries of origin (not for locals, but certainly for people from countries with a per capita GDP of $800), the problems are compounded exponentially. I lack any imagination as to how the catastrophe that lies ahead could be averted in any way, and this is increasingly frustrating me. Just wanted to share this with you. Thanks to those who stuck with it until the end of the text and gave themselves my whining.

@realLPBeria The wildest thing is the same group of EAs saying this are also the ones doing stupid LARPs about how we need infinity food supplies for third worlders and shrimp welfare. There are a lot of games within games being played here by a status obsessed, drug addicted, ill cult.

Silicon Valley’s best and brightest are using the simulation hypothesis to argue that the rest of us aren't actually conscious. Ofc, they don't want to act on this. For now, at least. We can *definitely* trust the people who secretly suspect this to give us UBI in perpetuity.

@krishnanrohit everyone knows he is mentally disabled too (a communist) which makes it even worse. comparable to something like beating up a kid with down syndrome. absolutely despicable behavior

It's borderline abuse to subject an octogenarian to LLM psychosis like this

@BrianAtlas is she making herself look developmentally disabled on purpose with the makeup as part of a grift? or did the underlying condition just lead her to being leftist

Ashley St. Clair just posted a TikTok video with the caption "Explaining to normal people how I became a cringe MAGA influencer for 8 years before finding my brain". I tried to warn people of this grifter. "Finding her brain" boils down to Elon Musk not letting her henpeck him. She's a scorned ex. No conviction. She changed her tune the moment Elon Musk dumped her. Imagine having such a weak constitution. Totally spiteful.

@zeta_globin unfortunately the incentives to be normal just are not there. unlimited time on tests? kids are going to sign right up for meds and labels to get that

@annakhachiyan Anti-war is a stupid position today. We're no longer in a nuclear MAD game theory situation. Small actors (sub-nation state level) can deploy drone swarms that knock out 25% of global energy production. You have to go on offense against leftism/terrorism on a global basis, now.

I’m a sexy baby goo goo ga ga

@BlueBoxDave I'm fine with democrats campaigning against an 80% popular issue until election day. Primary everyone who opposes the SAVE act. Start setting up outside their houses. Bullhorn them relentlessly. Don't let them sleep until they relent to the will of the people. Fuck Thune's lies

I have spent two weeks, since the TX primary, using everything in my power short of semafor flags to urge Thune to pass the Save America Act. He won’t. So, let’s get something. Let’s make a start of it.

@space_colonist inverse f30u30 who is building this

@lsferguson Remigration of 50 million and a 1000 year moratorium on even suggesting leftist bullshit again.

A 40 year immigration moratorium like the one that was implemented during the Coolidge Administration is required. Nothing less will fix this

Rupert Lowe contends that the UK is effectively a communist regime controlled by organised crime, where non-contributors are rewarded while the hard-working are punished. He calls on the public to push back against excessive government control. "Do not allow these petty bureaucrats and these people who are supposed to be serving you... to push you around." "They're your servant, not your master." "People have lost sight of what the state is there for. It is there to serve." Credit: @RupertLowe10 @Sargon_of_Akkad

@ThomBrady5 to be fair this is the first year in over 50 the government has tried to make things better. the majority of americans have no living memory of such a thing

I think when we were in our long exile, a lot of intellectuals formed their worldview around the idea "using power is bad" and now we're using power and they want to go back to losing.

yudkowski has the chance to do the funniest thing

I absolutely believe real world RL is the future
