Its called milking a generations nostalgia. Remakes of child and youth memories for a generation that is now financially viable.
- Comment on Even conservatives use to boast the virtue of achieving higher education. In MAGA times what is the pathway to success? 1 week ago:
Usually veiled in religion. Also the American dream, work your way up instead of investing into education.

- Comment on You got it, buddy 2 weeks ago:
Can confirm, people generally prefer their version of reality over truth and knowledge. Spend a life aquiring knowledge and love teaching people just to learn they don’t really love learning how things actually are. Who knew people love to be told they are right, even if that’s not the case. X(
Funnily enough, when you are in a situation with someone who you have discussed for example immigration with and someone else more stupid than them starts going off about immigrants and you just start ranting the same shit as them, this seems to get number one suddenly thinking a lot more about how ridiculous you look when you so it.
Know more tricks like this, let me know. ;)

We keep living together and keep it civil so we can both live with the kids. Its not without it’s problems but there is no fighting which is generally a good thing. We keep honest when the kids ask questions and try to answer them as well and honest as possible according to their age obviously.

- Comment on Anon likes trains 3 weeks ago:
Not to shit on your perfectly reasonable parade, but in Germany there is high speed rail through the whole . takes about 6 hours from top to bottom.
Now look at the scale of the US versus Germany and then the density of people living there. High speed rail makes alot of sense where it’s difficult to build (bosnywash) and does not scale well in terms of time spent traveling.
Its better than car, but won’t replace air travel anytime soon. Sadly.

Size doesn’t matter. I’m close friends with a dude dating in his 50s and his dick just doesn’t work like it used to after he had a heart attack. The women are usually very understanding and often like the challenge. Someone loving you for who you are wouldn’t even be bothered by something like that as long as it’s about love. And if she physically needs more sometimes, just buy a dildo to help her out. Nothing more or less as if she needs dirty talk. Just oblige and make her happy as she makes you happy.

Somehow nobody has mentioned the drugs? And obvious signs of mental illness? Obviously high functioning, but that does not make the decisions less nuts.
Has anybody seen the Johnny Harris video on musk? It was all fun and games until the drugs came out to play.

Why would you buy a new car if you are dead broke?

- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 2 months ago:
An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.
They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.
So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.
My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.
Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.
Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)
So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 2 months ago:
Sometimes that’s regional. Are you located in Bavaria? I don’t know any German man that use makeup at all.

Reminds me of the dead sailors that would be sewn into their hammock and thrown overboard. And just to make sure they were really dead, they would sew one stitch through the nose.

Life advice from an old’ish dude: find a girl when you are broke. She will always love you, not the money. She will also love you in hardship and she won’t care if you go for a walk or watch Netflix because it’s cheaper. :)

You are not alone. In fact this is pretty common. My wife has similar struggles:

As you already said, it’s caused by parents that don’t give you a safe and living emotional environment in early childhood.
- Comment on A stranger peeled the clearcoat off my car 4 months ago:
The streaks kinda look like someone poured a liquid there which migrated outwards under the paint. Maybe paint thinner or break fluid? Any neighborhood beef?

Not to mention alcohol. It’s called a beer belly for a reason.
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 5 months ago:
Watch it again. It seems there is a split second hesitation before the first salute. Followed by a “let’s just get that done full force” move. Kinda like people that are about to do a stunt the first time. One last “are we really going to try that?”. It kinda implies intent and also that there is some sanity left there to make these decisions. Which gives me hope it’s just Putin having a video of him and he is acting under duress. So definitively an intentional Nazi salute. Should try that in Germany and see how fast he gets arrested for that shit.
- Comment on if you do a physically demanding job and end up with sore and painful legs, does it help to jog after your shift? 7 months ago:
Exercise is known to reduce inflammation. Maybe you have some inflammatory (t)issues? Maybe your immune system attacking something? I’m not a doctor, so this is not medical advice.

Hate to break it to you… 42 didn’t make it the first study. In the second study they just named three troublemaker 42 again… And he also didn’t make it. After a study, all those rats just go to a big farm to live out their lives in peace. Not.
