Meh. This forum as usual trying to find people to feel morally superior to. Kanye is a psychologically broken individual who has long thrown in the towel on his career. This song is just him venting anger.

This forum emphasizes "sophisticated" and "deep" thinking way too much, you don't need that for politics to be effective. Dugin's tactics are working on millions of people across Europe and North America.

Nah

The problem is that they haven't been offered any good security guarantees since Trump took office. Every peace offer so far has been wishy-washy in this regard.

And there have been solar flares observed from other stars over a million times stronger than the Carrington Event. If we ever got hit with something like that it would be the end of human civilization.

It's not even about looks and riches, it's the guy being perceived as being a womanizer. It was surprising to me when I learned that Wilt Chamberlain had a (posthumous) sexual assault allegation. Someone who led a playboy lifestyle and claimed to have slept with 20,000 women still resorted to forcing a woman into a sexual act.

Who thinks like that? Strawman... That's what I've already tried to think of before to understand rape. As weird as it is to say, if a gay man raped me out of pure carnal lust, I don't think it would be the end of the world. I wouldn't hate him to the point of plotting revenge or anything. I'd just report it to the police and I would recover emotionally after a while. Now, if it was like a prison rape where the intention was to exert domination and power, that would fuck me up. Unless there was a way of getting revenge within a reasonable time frame, I would probably become depressed and suicidal.

The article sounds like other female celebrities being jealous of the female celebrities that went on this flight.

Quite elitist

China is behind technologically and hasn't proved themselves capable in any war. Specifically, the production of jet fighters and microchips has "trade secrets" which China is not privy to. Remember how Deepseek had to be trained on last generation chips? The question is, will Americans be willing to fight a world war for Trump?

The 2016 presidential debates were peak comedy. But Trump hasn't done anything legitimately funny in years.

If Sadhguru is considered stage blue, then Spiral Dynamics is nonsense. At this rate this forum will not consider anyone to be Tier 2 except for Leo, lol.

I think these complaints come from people having a higher expectation for academic research jobs than they do for industry jobs. As if academia is supposed to be some "pure" pursuit of knowledge. It sounds like academia has bullshit just like any other job. Scientists act like salespeople with their research proposals? Okay, the corporate world is all about sales as well. Aside from actual salespeople, anyone working in industry who has an idea will have to convince their boss/coworkers of the validity of their idea. If scientists were allowed to research whatever they wanted without the "sales" part, people would also be complaining about research funding going to waste. So what's the alternative?

My point is that human psychology doesn't work that way. People get tired of bullshit eventually. Every fascist and communist state needed a secret police, propaganda alone was not enough.
