@Apparition of Jack Now that you've revived this thread, I want to post the LeftValues Quiz. https://leftvalues.github.io/ On both the politiscales and leftvalues, I answered very socialist on economic questions. On both quizzes, answering strongly agree to questions asking if the means of production should be public, supporting some form of central planning, and denouncing social-democrats, people who want a Scandinavian style of economics, as traitors to the left.

Bastards. The only respectable political party in Canada is the NDP. And yet they’re always the minority.

I liked this lecture because here, Said directly diagnoses Donald Trump as coming from the RED vMEME system. This is much different from Don Beck who, for some reason, claimed that Donald Trump was coming at us from the YELLOW vMEME system. The lecture starts off in French, and all the slideshow pictures are in French, but Said is speaking English. Btw, for context, the lecture in the video below is where Don Beck claims Trump is at YELLOW.

Ashton Hall is a 29 year old influencer who, after failing to make it to the NFL, now publishes fitness and lifestyle content. Here is the video he published, which is now being mocked. This video has been turned into a meme for several reasons. Most notably, because if you skip to the 0:55 minute mark, he jumped into the pool at 7:36, but doesn't actually hit the water until 7:40, implying that he has been floating in the air for four minutes. But the video is as well being mocked for more reasons, such as when in the 1:15 minute mark, he appears to be talking to no one, and saying that "we need at least another ten thousand". But ten thousand what exactly? Ten thousand bottles of Saratoga ice water? For which he seems fond of dunking his head into. Of course, other content creators have now taken to mocking his morning routine, spinning all sorts of skits and parodies made to bastardize the original morning routine video upload.

@Leo Gura Be honest, is this your morning routine? Sans the steroids, do you also dunk your head into bowls of Saratoga water?

I'm posting this because even I had misconceptions about DOGE. "Yeah, they're cutting essential research and firing a lot of people, but, hey, we have to address the soaring national debt" That was how I thought of DOGE before I learned the truth, that's not what is happening. Federal spending and the national debt is increasing, not decreasing. If Musk and Trump seriously wanted to address the national debt, then they would as well raise taxes combined with reducing spending. This was how Bill Clinton achieved a budget surplus and actually began to pay off the national debt. They would also decrease the military budget, for which they will never do.

I'm so disillusioned with American politics at this, that if Trump went the Xí Jinping and Putin route and abolished term limits, then I genuinely wouldn't be surprised. And of course, his fanbase and crackpots in the media would defend him to the bitter end.

And at the 1:09 video mark of the original upload, he for some reason rubs a banana peel on his face.

Also, @Leo Gura, С ДНЕМ РОЖДЕНИЯ 🎉🎁🍾🎈🎂🎊

Sincere question, does it feel odd to be in your fourth decade of life? Like, you were so used to being in your 20’s and 30’s, and now that you’re 40, I only imagine it feels like the end of an era. And now you can no longer call yourself a young adult, or “a kid in their 20s and 30s”.

On April 14, 2025, 4chan suffered a major security breach that took the site offline. The attack was claimed by a user from Soyjak.party, a rival imageboard community. The hacker, using the alias “S0I1337,” stated they had maintained access to 4chan's systems for over a year before executing the breach. Exploiting vulnerabilities in 4chan's outdated infrastructure—including a version of PHP from 2016—the attacker gained access to the site's backend systems. They leaked 4chan's source code, administrative tools, and user data, including IP addresses and email addresses of moderators and janitors. The previously banned /qa/ board was briefly restored with a defacement message: "U GOT HACKED XD." As of now, 4chan is completely off the internet, and the '4chan.org' link doesn't lead anywhere.

I hope so.

This is precisely why you don't see incompetent buffoons such as Marjorie Taylor Greene or Lauren Boebert serving in high levels of government in China. Even to rise to higher levels of the government, politicians first have to service at the lower level and are evaluated on performance. " The current ranking system has 27 different ranks (from previously of total 15 levels) and a grade (dangci) system within each rank (at most 14 grades for each rank) to reflect seniority and performance; " https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_service_of_the_People's_Republic_of_China

In China, they actually have a system like this where all politicians have to pass a civil service exam to serve in the government. It began in the imperial era. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_examination

I posted the first video, Absolutely Free to Be Funny, because of the joke in the beginning about the Pope and Mother Teresa.

About the blog about university sociopaths, the book and movie, American Psycho, was precisely about and a critique of these Ivy League monsters that later go into banking and finance.

Have you tried datings apps? Maybe you can find a dating app explicitly for secular people in Pakistan, or maybe I just found you a new business idea. Or just use any dating app, they allow you to select your preferences for secular people.

Can’t say right now, but he’s definitely not an epistemic puritan.

In the video "Thomas Sowell Is Worse Than I Thought" , Unlearning Economics offers a comprehensive critique of economist Thomas Sowell's work, particularly focusing on his book Basic Economics. The video challenges Sowell's emphasis on scarcity as the central economic issue, arguing that this perspective overlooks the significance of surplus and the complexities of modern economies. Unlearning Economics contends that Sowell's approach simplifies economic dynamics and neglects the roles of historical context, institutional frameworks, and power structures in shaping economic outcomes. The critique also addresses Sowell's views on government intervention, suggesting that his arguments often dismiss the potential benefits of public policy and social programs. Throughout the video, Unlearning Economics advocates for a more nuanced understanding of economics that incorporates a broader range of factors beyond market mechanisms. Also, skip to 1:35:30, and watch until 1:39:30, and listen closely to the part about the NEP (New Economic Policy). There, Unlearning Economics provides an excellent refutation of the narrative that socialism has not and can never work.

Actually, its more like 1:27:16 to 1:39:30, for full context. Unlearning Economics as well refutes centrally planned forms of socialism.
