- Comment on I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia? 2 days ago:
No. I think transgender people get more than their fair share of a shit show and deserve safe spaces free from any lines in the sand of others. Ultimately no one has a rich to project their beliefs onto others.
You have a right to all information sources, a right to skepticism, a right to error, and the right to protest in all nonviolent forms aka the right to offend others. Your rights never include infringing upon the rights of any other.
The idea that others are subject to collective critique is nonsense conjured by religious backwardness. I came from such an upbringing too. That is the toxic nonsense you need to try to purge. The peer pressure, negative feedback loop, and shaming only leads to problems. It is not real ethics or morality. It is a tool to get you to outsource your morality and ethics to a dubious source, and ultimately to have nothing more than a fear of getting caught. It is a system that fails at basic game theory; a negative feedback loop is incapable of producing positive outcomes. You cannot amplify from unity gain or attenuation. So ask yourself, is this a negative feedback loop. If the answer is yes, and you have nothing positive to amplify, then all you are doing is death by a thousand cuts and bleeding someone further. Be a positive force in the world and maybe just maybe you will have positive outcomes too.

It is every military. That is what makes a good military; meritocracy above all else. The success many countries experienced after total war was due to weeding out those that lack merits. Nepotism is the same problem. It is fine for the lowers castes of society, but it is cancer for the rest. It stops the flow of money effectively pulling it from circulation and bringing everyone down.

Lol. No Japan has an enormous inheritance tax and cap that prevents it all together. It was intentionally created to stop the suicide of any society that lacks meritocracy.
Resource scarcity is behind every injustice on the planet. Stopping the scarcity problem brings everyone up to a higher standard.

Anton Petrov summarized the scientific white paper on YT. Maybe go watch it. Yes it is possible. It would still last decades. But probably would not propagate further up I think. Higher orbits can shut out space for centuries.

Sorry to burst that bubble, but there are more rare mineral resources in a single m-type astroid than all that humans have accessed in the Holocene. Recovering a single m-type is all it takes to make all of human history to this point appear as a joke of piddly nonsense like a baby playing with sticks. Fuckwit flag planting is nonsense like a baby playing with sticks too. Even some near earth asteroids likely contain enormous wealth. Japan is the only country with the intelligence to have pursued this so far. Accessing this wealth would obsolete the inbred halfwit oligarchy of inherited wealth as they have no real merit or competence. Meritocratic achievement is toxic to their existence. Thus why only Japan pursues the endeavor. They are the only westernized country that has actually solved the inherited wealth cancer for a meritocratic balance. You do not hear about their celebrity billionaire fuckwits because no one was born into the role of gross inherited wealth.
- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 4 days ago:
Peanut M&M’s would be better. Eating small portion sizes and more often is the main thing. Skittles will likely cause digestive issues because of the lack of fiber. How your body responds to all that sugar is also a long term issue, but age is a factor there.
I started my journey from 350 lbs to 190 lbs on Peanut M&M’s, Adderall, and way too much of an internet cafe. I just ate a few when I felt light headed, but was super focused on CS/BF/CoD. I only did that for a month or so after having to move back in with family. Then I started riding bikes a lot, like 400+ mile weeks.

I was mostly talking about China funding the second front by proxy. NK has already done the ramp up for production via the Russian invasion of Ukraine. NK now has units with combat experience, and Russian technology transfers, not to mentioned what China is capable of supplying directly. Samsung is the main objective. Seoul is within range of basically everything in the NK arsenal. Samsung is barely south of the city center in Suwon.
- Comment on Anon catches a glimpse of his own mortality 4 days ago:
Russia’s own state media already admits to over 1m lost in Ukraine. I doubt most of their nukes work. More likely, NK invades SK while China invades Taiwan. The hollowness of the USA quickly becomes clear when the doors fall off of all the Boeing aircraft. The neodymium supplied FPV drone army of AliEx then comes knocking. The US is then cut off from all advanced chip foundry fab nodes.
Meanwhile, the enormous fleet of starlink satellites are already on the verge of Kessler syndrome according to a recent white paper stating they are less than 3 days way. Just targeting one of them will cut off all access to space for decades rendering ICBMs obsolete or high risk where they are very likely to be damaged and return to the region that launched them. Cutting off access to space is a superpower total war move.

- Comment on How young do you have to be to get kidnapped and never realizing that you were kidnapped? 3 weeks ago:
Trauma is a hard thing to pin down. I think it depends on how traumatic the situation was and how the kid was treated after.
My broken neck and back thing is in a totally different traumatic scope, but the situation and magnitude is still something I struggle to process nearly twelve years later. I legitimately have an amnesia like gap in my consciousness for 3 hours due to the massive head injury. For the first 3-5 years, despite my limitations, I processed it like any of my other bike crashes and was confident I could push through, or that my limitations were psychological failures. I wanted to forget and move on without processing the things that happened. That reaction has reverberating psychological consequences to this day.
With a kid, their self awareness is limited in scope. So I imagine they may or may not block out the experience in a similar way. My point is that trauma is not logical or linear in how it affects the mind. Like the cause of most PTSD is an event that causes a loss of consciousness, that results in severe injury, and was unexpected or out of the person’s control.
My earliest memory is around three years old. I was a halfwit that thought I could fly when wearing my superman onesie with cape, if only I was brave enough to leap from one stair higher up and believe strongly enough. So I think I would have the potential to remember. But knowing how severe trauma affected me, it is entirely plausible I could block out the experience completely.

99.999% of advertising is shit to make a rich person feel like they are going something to drive business.
Like dude owned the first bike shop I worked at was paying a bunch to place ads on various platforms. I asked if he had ever actually tested that it works. He just gave me a puzzled look. I told him simply pick any product you feel is universally in high demand and try and give it away with no strings attached. See how long it takes to get someone to show up and claim the thing. It took 3 weeks and I am nearly certain the person that showed up was one of his personal friends. We stopped advertising online after that. Ads may increase awareness in dome cases, but they are mostly ineffective media. People are just too stupid to be objective and actually test things; instead assuming the existence of the option to advertise validates its efficacy

So ya like epicurean flying satyrs and lost boys, despite existence in a parallel world. I think we all age into the dreams of these adventures; of the times before we were gendered. When existence on a playground was cause and catalyst as best of friends for ten minutes to an hour.

I can’t say more than anecdotal, but after a broken neck and back (shoulder blades and up), I cannot sleep on my stomach at all. I haven’t been fused or anything, but I lost around 1/2-1/3rd of my neck rotation to the left.
Sleeping on my stomach used to be a thing, but now it will leave me in terrible shape for days. The deviation in alignment of the spine is more significant than it seems. When your range of mobility is reduced significantly, the effect is far more noticeable as abnormal. It is about like falling asleep in a yoga pose. Those are some of the most fatigued muscles in the body, just to hold up your head. Damage some and it becomes extremely evident.
