  1. This soldier in the video below has the right idea.
  2. Yeah, but most of the videos I see one Reddit and Telegram are of a single drone chasing down a single guy for whom most of the time doesn't even shoot back. Or if he does shoot back with his outdated Kalashnikov, he misses all of the shots. https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/1fd2ewu/russian_soldiers_fail_to_down_drone_so_one_throws/
  3. Merry Christmas!
  4. I have a serious and genuine question regarding drone warfare, and this is, can't you just use shotguns (to combat the drones) and render the drones obsolete? Like... If a soldier in Ukraine see's a drone flying at them that's rigged to blow, couldn't that soldier just get their dad's shotgun from the basement and go duck hunting? Why doesn't every battalion have at least one guy with a shotgun?
  5. @Leo Gura That is precisely what I meant. After the Chinese civil war, the Nationalist Kuomintang retreated to Taiwan. Mao wanted to invade the Island, but couldn’t as the U.S. Navy was placed strategically in between the body of water between the mainland and Taiwan. Also Mao had to deal with the Korean War, so manpower how to be directed towards that theater.
  6. This movie is a masterpiece, what are you talking about?
  7. In all do seriousness, the creation of Taiwan was a case of American geopolitical interference which should have never happened. Mao wanted to conquer Taiwan but the U.S. Navy interfered and president Truman threatened to nuke China.
  8. Classic video. I liked Leo's videos on Red and Purple much better than I did; Blue, Orange, Green, and Yellow, because I feel as if the Red and Purple videos were more objective and true to the Spiral Dynamics book and what the Social Psychologists who wrote it intended. Whereas the videos on Blue, Orange, Green, and Yellow were too filtered through Leo and his spin on it, as well as resorted to 'stereotyping' the codes in very simplistic ways, and thus, the essence of Blue, Orange, Green, and Yellow were lost in those videos. But hey, that's just my subjective critique of the Actualized.org SDi video series.
  9. Police confirmed at least five dead in 'Madison Christian School'. Police confirm at least five students dead.
  10. I posed this question to ChatGPT What are all the epistemic problems of abrahamic religions? ChatGPT's answer: Epistemic problems of Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) typically involve questions of how knowledge is acquired, justified, and understood within their frameworks. These issues are philosophical in nature and not unique to Abrahamic faiths but are highlighted in discussions of their doctrines, scriptures, and traditions. Here's an overview of key epistemic challenges: 1. Reliance on Revelation Problem: Abrahamic religions often claim that divine revelation is a primary source of truth. This raises questions about how one can verify the authenticity of such revelations and distinguish them from human invention or misinterpretation. Challenge: What criteria can determine the validity of divine revelations, especially when different religions or sects offer conflicting revelations? 2. Subjectivity of Faith Problem: Faith is often emphasized as a means of knowing religious truths, but faith is inherently subjective and varies widely between individuals and cultures. Challenge: How can faith provide reliable knowledge if it lacks a universal, objective basis? 3. Interpretation of Sacred Texts Problem: Scriptures are open to multiple interpretations. Disputes arise over what constitutes the "correct" interpretation. Challenge: Who has the authority to interpret scriptures definitively, and how can one avoid confirmation bias or cultural influence in interpretation? 4. Historical Reliability Problem: Many foundational claims in Abrahamic religions (e.g., miracles, prophetic events) rely on historical accounts that are difficult to verify with modern historical methods. Challenge: How can one differentiate historical fact from myth or legend in ancient texts, especially when corroborating evidence is lacking? 5. Problem of Religious Pluralism Problem: Each Abrahamic religion claims exclusive access to certain truths, but they often contradict one another. Challenge: How can one justify the epistemic privileging of one religion's truth claims over another's, especially when all rely on similar epistemic methods (e.g., revelation, scripture)? 6. Circular Reasoning Problem: Some arguments for the truth of a religion rely on circular reasoning, such as using scripture to prove the validity of scripture. Challenge: How can one avoid circular reasoning and provide independent verification of religious claims? 7. The Problem of Non-Belief Problem: If God desires that people know and follow Him, why do many remain unaware or unconvinced by religious truths? Challenge: How do epistemic frameworks within these religions address the existence of sincere non-believers and the diversity of belief systems? 8. Miracles and Supernatural Claims Problem: Miracles and supernatural events are central to many religious claims, but these are often unverifiable or go against established scientific understanding. Challenge: How can one evaluate the epistemic credibility of miraculous claims without undermining natural laws or resorting to special pleading? 9. Epistemic Exclusivity Problem: Abrahamic religions often claim epistemic exclusivity—that their path to truth is the only valid one. Challenge: How can exclusivist claims be reconciled with the possibility of multiple valid ways of understanding reality? 10. Epistemic Role of Tradition Problem: Religious traditions often play a significant role in shaping beliefs, but traditions are human constructs influenced by historical and cultural factors. Challenge: How can one differentiate divinely inspired truths from human-made traditions within a religion? 11. Testability and Falsifiability Problem: Religious claims are often unfalsifiable or not easily subjected to empirical testing. Challenge: How does one epistemically justify belief in claims that cannot be tested or potentially disproven? 12. Problem of Divine Hiddenness Problem: If God exists and wants to be known, why is evidence for God's existence and will not universally clear and compelling? Challenge: How do religious frameworks address the seeming lack of epistemic access to God for all people? 13. Ethical-Epistemic Tensions Problem: Certain ethical teachings in scripture may conflict with modern moral intuitions or scientific understanding. Challenge: How should believers reconcile apparent epistemic conflicts between ethical norms derived from revelation and contemporary ethical reasoning? 14. Dependence on Testimony Problem: Much of religious knowledge depends on the testimony of prophets, religious authorities, or historical communities. Challenge: How reliable is testimony as an epistemic source, particularly when it comes to extraordinary claims?
  11. Not only was she 15 but she had a boyfriend. Femcel my ass. In all do seriousness, what is happening with society? Originally the incel problem was just men, and now its women. What is out society doing to produce miserable people with neo-nazi profile pictures on telegram (see page 5 of this thread), who hate society and want to shoot up their schools? Why are the young people so miserable? Edit: I think it was an e-boyfriend that she didn't see in person. Not sure of the exact details.
  12. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel–Hamas_war Wikipedia proving itself to be unbiased yet again.
  13. Leo is a spy for the Communist Party of China confirmed.

  15. My budget is only $50 - 100 dollars (for both parents, not each) and I'm shopping through Amazon. Please help.
  16. No, we already have too many mugs.
  17. The following can be derived from Rupnow's (alleged) manifesto: She loved to blame everyone except herself. Rupnow clearly blames almost everyone around her for her poor mental state and attributes the shooting to her "inner hatred", brought on by her disdain for humanity in general and how she felt alienated from her peers. ("Humanity is filth… I don't want to live in it.") ("It's not even my fault: It has to be theirs and not mine." ("It's pure idiocy from people to cause this.") Rupnow was an extremely racist and intolerant person. Many quotes back this one up: I'll write down just a few to give those who aren't going to read the full manifesto a basic idea of it's contents. ("BIPOCs though, worse: Once you sleep with one, you are one.") ("You will always have no thought and no brain to continue with.") ("Whores and scum are the things I hate the most…. Your parents should be hanged in front of everyone.") ("N*ggers though, WORSE, once you sleep with one you are one.") Rupnow was deeply self-centered and misanthropic, holding a deep disdain towards her peers. ("I hate seeing people on a daily basis… Gives me another reason to take off my glasses.") ("I am not like the others: I would never want to be like them, with how they think and what they do on a simple day.") ("I am a part of the real thought and the real revolution.")
  18. The perpetrator's Telegram profile contained images of old German National Socialists, as well as school shooters of the past. The person in the third photo is 18 year-old Timur Bekmansurov wields a Huglu Atrox T 12-gauge pump action shotgun during his school shooting at Perm State University, Russia.
  19. I really like this video predicting of what is to come.
  20. I wasn't saying that you in particular was calling those countries, 'social democracies', but that its common for western left-wingers to think of, lets say, Denmark, as a social democracy.
  21. She died due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head during the shooting.
  22. Scandinavian countries are just as capitalist as any other country. They just have a big welfare state, unions, and low corruption. Even to call Scandinavian countries, "social democracies" is an error, as social democracy is a tradition within socialism which implies partial employee ownership over the means of production (example: 25% of all shares are owned by the employees, 40% of the shareholder ceo board is owned by the employees, etc...), for which Scandinavian countries do not have. Scandinavian countries ~kind of~ have this, though not really, as they have strong union protections but that's as far as they'll go.
  23. In all do seriousness, there is a serious mental health problem with teenagers. The educational system and the way children are raised in modern western society has failed totally to account for student well-being and happiness. Society is decent at providing some very basic needs for food and shelter, and even that, not totally as there is still homelessness and poverty. But in helping people attain to the higher needs of Abraham Maslow's model, society is insufficient. I vividly recall being in high school, and being M I S E R A B L E. I never slept properly because I had a compulsive issue with staring at my phone late into the night. I kept telling myself not to look at my phone in bed, but I wouldn't follow through, night after night. So I would wake up each morning groggy, with an intense sleep inertia. When I got home from school, I was a chronic procrastinator, so I would not start my homework until 6:00 P.M. .I remember all the late nights I spent cramming for exams, barely eating, barely sleeping. Horrible four years.
