  1. Nearly all missiles Iran fired in this wave were 20-30 year old models, but watch the single newer-generation missile that struck Haifa. Then watch the electricity go out. Wait until Iran empties its old stockpile. https://x.com/s_m_marandi/status/1934012223330115960 The United States can no longer project military power anywhere on earth. That's the real takeaway here. Imagine being the captain of an aircraft carrier or a destroyer, with max speeds around 35 MPH, attempting to evade a missile traveling at over 7,600 MPH.
  2. To be sincere and honest, I never understood why the deportation of the undocumented was such a big issue in American politics. I'm Russian, and I personally knew of a Belarusian man who was deported from Russia back to Belarus because his temporary stay expired and yet he didn't voluntarily go back. But its just seen a totally normal! In every other country, deporting those who reside in the country illegally is seen as normal legal procedure. Only in America is there a big brouhaha about it. In Poland they used to shoot migrants who would travel across the border illegally, and I think they still do to some extent. The weak enforcement of border laws only increases nationalistic sentiments. In Europe, the rise of the far-right and their political parties only emerged after the Syrian refugee crisis, and the migrant wave from Pakistan, India, and Africa that followed and still continues. And look at what happened, the AfD is now Germany's second largest party. And the Sociology backs me up on this. People who live in more diverse neighborhoods have less trust in their neighbors. This creates a lower trust society where people hunker down instead of communicating with each other, thus ruining the civil society. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-diversity-create-distrust/ https://www.wcfia.harvard.edu/publications/downside-diversity
  3. The FSB will see your videos and Uncle Joe will lock you up for your 5-MeO-DMT collection. But even then, that's an extraordinary claim that I don't want to believe without extraordinary evidence. Whenever I go to Russia, my travel experience is always pleasant.
  4. Sure, they might kind-nap me because I'm a Russian citizen of fighting age. But you're in your 40's, why do you have to worry about being drafted? Also, how is the corruption going to affect you if you decide to briefly go back for a 1-2 week holiday to visit relatives or just to go sightseeing?
  5. Also, why do you think you would be killed in Russia? Your videos are in English and I don't think anyone would hunt you down. I myself am Russian, I've been there numerous times, and I don't recall seeing an issue with crime or anything like that. If anything, I feel more unsafe in America. Russia is not that bad, and even if it was, just stay in St. Petersburg or Moscow. You don't need to venture out to Chelyabinsk (Челябинск). Although, I still wouldn't go back as long as this war is continuing. I'm planning to return once the war/SVO has stopped.
  6. WHAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT!!!
  7. I don’t understand the protestors, why is there so much compassion for people who entered and reside in the country illegally?
  8. Please release this. I don't think the how to get laid series was sufficient, there needs to be a deconstruction of blackpill ideology and a message of hope for those lost in it.
  9. Silly goose, we already have the GOP and [centrist faction] DEM party.
  10. Amen. I'm sick of people getting the bulk of their political and historical understanding from talk radio, television, live streamers, and YouTube, instead of reading high quality political and historical books. Whilst I have never read any historical accounts about Hitler from reading, I have out of curiosity read Mein Kampf.
  11. They voted for him because they were desperate due to the inflation and weak government which had destroyed their economy.
  12. There's one issue I have with one of the blog posts, and that is the How The Left Got Lost. Particularly at the end, it reads, What every leftist needs is a crash course called Survival 101. But this is no cushy university course. For this course we air-drop the leftist into a war-zone in Africa for 3 months and see how she survives using her leftist ideals. The problem is that we already tried this, and the left succeeded. Meet Ibrahim Traoré. This mad lad took power of Burkina Faso during a time when a significant portion of his country was under control of jihadist insurgencies. Inspired by Marxist, Thomas Sankara, he enacted significant reforms such as; State Ownership of Land: All land, urban and rural, now belongs to the state, not to individual landlords. Foreign Ownership Prohibition: Foreigners are prohibited from owning farmland or urban real estate in Burkina Faso. They can, however, apply for long-term leases, with options ranging from 18 to 99 years, particularly for agricultural purposes. Land Distribution: Land is being distributed to citizens, especially young people, to encourage them to return to farming. Women's cooperatives are also being allocated land for farming, livestock, and agro-processing, seen as a way to empower women and stabilize communities. He is also defeating the Jihadists militarily and stands up to French economic dominance, maintaining his country's sovereignty. What a guy! ISIS and Al-Qaeda still control 40% of the country through... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Burkina_Faso_(2015–present)
  13. Why does North Korea get all of this attention when people try to demonize the far-left, but Turkmenistan never gets any attention and people never use it as an example to demonize the far-right?
  14. There actually is a candidate in third place, Brad Lander. Lander is very similar to Cuomo in regards to being a centrist, but doesn't have the scandalous baggage. The very fact that Democrats endorsed Cuomo instead of Lander proves what corrupt snakes they are, who are more interested in preserving their leadership class than they are in electing qualified candidates.
  15. We who wrestle with primates.
  16. I do think you're giving a bit too much credit to private business, and not enough credit towards collective action and public works, and here is why I think this... First and foremost, you're giving Elon too much credit. Did you know that California wanted to build high speed rail so people could traverse between long distances without using a car? Musk stepped in and told the city planners to not continue with the project, saying that he would instead built a much better hyperloop system. No hyperloop was created, and Musk would later admit that the hyperloop was about getting legislatures to stop building the high speed rail, and he had no intentions of creating a hyperloop system. https://www.reddit.com/r/urbanplanning/comments/wlsdlo/musk_admitted_hyperloop_was_about_getting/ And speaking of cars, have you ever wondered why America is so reliant on cars? I mean think of it, America, especially in rural areas, public transportation and walkable cities are not really a thing. America doesn't have high speed rail, nor do we have trolleys anymore. The reason for this is because auto and oil industrialists bribed American city planners intentionally to make city planning spread out and less dense as possible, intentionally so that everyone would have to be reliant on a car. https://www.reddit.com/r/Economics/comments/7d530/the_great_american_streetcar_scandal_how_gm/ This is why German rural areas look like this: So how nice and dense everything is? It looks like an actually community where someone can trek on foot to places where they need to be. Skip to 22:15 Meanwhile in China, they are currently building the world's largest hydroelectric plant in Tibet, which is supposed to account for ten percent of their energy needs.
  17. I want to see Dave Ramsey versus twenty credit-card users.
  18. A while ago, I posted this thread: I have applied, and was accepted, to attend a meditation retreat at the end of this month, from May 24, to May 28. It's a Buddhist retreat, hosted by Monks and Nuns. I have been to the temple where the Nuns host chanting sessions with various Chinese families, but this is at a different location. Below is my schedule. Or at least I think this is my schedule, not entirely sure. The monastery says that this is what the 5 day retreats look like, but will it be the same for my specific retreat? Don't know. Here's the official description of the retreat. 5/24 3 PM Check-in | 5/28 12 PM Conclusion | 5/28 2-4 PM Post-retreat teatime social Loving-Kindness is one of the four qualities of Brahmavihara (Divine Abidings) and serves as the foundation for the Brahmavihara meditation technique. It is one of the oldest and most popular meditation methods during Buddha's time. According to the Path of Purification (Visudhimagga), the practice of Brahmavihāra is considered as one of the three universal practices that all cultivators must be trained on; as it eliminates ill will, calms anxiety, and fosters harmony in a community. Not only does this method helps to develop samadhi (concentration), but also resolves interpersonal issues making it the most suitable method for laypeople. This method also accumulates experience and skills that serve as a bedrock for insight meditation (vipassana). At [name of location redacted by Husseinisdoingfine], this meditation method is considered the most crucial practice for all meditators. This retreat is a foundational course that serves as a prerequisite for future retreats.
  19. Definitely an emotional experience. The number one emotion I definitely felt was restlessness, I was so used to instant and easy information because of the easy access to technology and instant entertainment. The best way I can describe this is; when going to high school or working at a restaurant and waiting for the clock to finally hit the specific time to clock out or for class to end. The restlessness I felt was almost unbearable. But I left the retreat with a joy and clenrmindedness that I've never felt before. I was almost in tears because my mind was so clear, I've never felt something like this before.
  20. Retreat starts in 30 minutes, wish me luck!
