I'm not surprised people do these heinous acts; life can get really, really bad, and the world is a big place. If you think about those school shooter statistics, and how they skyrocketed over the years. Nothing has really changed materially; people used to get bullied just as much as they do now, and guns have been present in America for a long time. The difference is, men, really, men today have been bred into much weaker, socially inept, and sad creatures. It's mostly about video games, social media, and all that self-isolating jazz, so much so that I believe it's a threat to the existence of society. These things have to be turned off every week on a consistent basis.

Many things could be going through a suicidal person's head; god knows what he was thinking. Death by despair has increased drastically because society has degenerated in many lifestyle domains, like socialisation; therefore, most people's needs are far from being met in the things that matter. It is almost certain that he lost all hope in that brief moment that things would get better for him. It takes a certain kind of personality to really kill yourself, one that is as daring as it is hopeless, but then again, not everyone is pushed to the same extent.

Jobs is an inspiration He was so articulate in his words and so original in his thinking. He was seemingly always interested in things beyond his personal life, something that becomes hard to do once you're an adult. Also, his ballsy ways of living, I traveled the whole world by myself, and still couldn't feel that risk-free and detached. There's something very masculine in how he lived

Public companies, stock market, private equity, capitalism have to be restructured, all of these systems are literally designed for inflation (literal, like the price of eggs, and value inflation, nvidia is now bigger than Germany). The average person is barely even benefiting from what these companies make anymore. @integral I see you moved from the UK to Montreal, how do you like it there?

Europe will always be far better for employees and North America better for employers, just when you thought we couldn’t get any laxer, they’re shortening the work week to less than 40h/week. I’m probably going to the Budapest airport in 4 days, unless I cancel my trip, it looks tiny from the pictures. Hungary is very eerie and dead outside of Budapest, hard to believe there are people still living in villages there.

Come to Berlin, my friend

Health problems are terrible. Hope he finds peace.

If you're gonna work night shift, I'd quit day one It's like the opposite of self-development. It's a slow, miserable decline. First, you're a little tired, 6 months later, you can't get an erection with a destroyed libido Speaking from experience

That's not true I think Scandinavia is more redistributive than France. Isn't that just another word for socialist? Those are a small, in some cases, tiny minority that doesn't drive any social change as drastic as the decline of birth rates Economics certainly has a lot to do with birth rates, but the affordability of life can only improve with more socialist and wealth tax policies. I don't see any other way of making life cheaper.

Not necessarily, what even is normal and healthy in this case? Is it wild that kids are seen as a liability and a barrier to some people? Eat and fuck maybe, not have children I certainly hope more people think more like you than me, because I'm not saying having kids is right or wrong, I'm saying that dumb Republican states have higher birth rates than democratic areas, Africa certainly has much higher birth rates than Denmark, but Denmark has policies and institutions that African nations can only dream of. Deprived places have more children Maybe in America, where war, starvation, or massive corruption never happened, in the baby boomer generations, in Europe, you would've been running away from the nazis or starving away in China or Africa

It's interesting how humans are designed just to keep breeding and remain idiots More education → Higher political correctness + Higher salaries + fewer children Less Education → Lower political correctness + lower quality of life + more children You repeat that over and over again, and there are a lot more dumb people than smart ones The smart ones die out because they stop having kids, and the dumb ones keep reproducing. Maybe there's a way to reverse this, but we don't currently know how yet. I don't think it's the cost of living; it was much harder to survive 100 years ago than today. Who knows where this thing leads, a collapse of society or some equilibrium? That's the bigger question here.

Perhaps I'm too paranoid from all the violent content I get on my feed Assaults are apparently hitting new lows -

Would you support a surveillance state in America? To me, it seems like a very smart idea, and I don't see how it limits anyone's freedom besides criminals The UK already has 360-degree cameras on vans that scan faces and reveal criminals https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOJoRJ8gBu0/?igsh=MTA5YnBxMjNoeHI1aw== The UK does arrest people based on stupid things like tweets these days, but that's a totally separate thing from a surveillance state -
This is because European countries were the only countries that could afford to wage wars against each other; they had money to throw, not to mention, it's a very diverse and small place, you don't have to march 3000 kilometers from one place to another. The actual warmongering country, Russia, is a rogue mafia state, not to be confused with the rest of Europe. They have radically different ways of thinking from the rest of us. Russians don't fit the common European way of thinking by any stretch of the imagination. If you think Germany and Spain are warmongering and barbaric in comparison, you're insane. Things have drastically changed since nazi Germany. It's not something Germans today are proud of or happy with. European countries have done a great disservice and injustice to places such as India and Africa, and continue to do so today. Racism is based on money; the poorer your country, the more racist the world is against you. Why is anti-semitism a thing if all Jews are white? It's not because of Israel, it's because Jews were viewed as hoarders and manipulators of money and government throughout history; it all comes down to money, in other words, survival. India = poor = racism against India by the rest of the world. Singapore = rich = can't be racist against Singapore

Rapper xxxTentacion got shot multiple times in the chest because they wanted his louis vuitton bag, Kids are getting shot in churches and schools. Ukrainian woman gets stabbed on a bus. You don’t just have political violence, you have violence for everyone in America. Everyone can get it, all you have to do is spend time there. Charlie gets shot in a white mormon state, right next to those mormon schools where they don’t even drink alcohol in their early twenties. You can get shot anywhere -
Once this guy’s gone the Republican party loses 50% of their charm, they’re all slimy, greasy and unlikable.

Damn, Jesus really cares what you put your dick into 😆 Is humping my pillow a sin? Anything about pillows in the bible? Ridiculous -

Republicans and conservatives have always been targeted more, a counterintuitive twist. I think it's because they often say much more radical things than the left, who's gonna shoot Bernie Sanders? The guy speaks about healthcare. When you're a healthy politician or political figure, you speak about the unsexiest shit possible; meanwhile, if you're corrupt and deluded? Like Trump and Charlie, you will speak about things that get you shot, because they're radical, extremist, racist, etc... -

You'd have to be insane to hold conferences and debates in the US for the next 20 years as a political or famous person. If J.D. Vence did conferences as much as he vacationed, he'd be shot by now too. -
Might be worth it, but... I don't see why that would exempt you from increased inflammatory markers and other issues that come with eating a lot of meat. It can serve as a short-term relief, but you should look into what you can eat besides that, long-term. Depending on how bad it affects you

Some of them are meta-analyses and highly cited silly putain I also find it interesting how, when most of these studies discuss red meat as being bad, they typically refer to it in the context of less than 200-250g per day/week. In contrast, a normal person can easily consume half a kilogram. It says; "High red meat intake is associated with an increased risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and earlier onset of the disease, particularly in smokers and overweight individuals Meta-analyses show that consuming high amounts of red meat (about 96–166 g/day) increases RA risk, while lower or occasional intake does not show a significant effect Some studies find no significant association between moderate red meat consumption and RA risk, but processed meats are consistently linked to higher risk Diets low in red meat and high in fish, vegetables, and whole grains (such as the Mediterranean diet) are associated with lower risk and improved outcomes in RA and other autoimmune conditions. Processed meats should be minimized, and high red meat intake is not recommended for those at risk of or living with autoimmune diseases"

These days, you don't even have to listen to Influencers or misguided health professionals on the Internet You can ask Conesus AI yourself and see what the data says https://consensus.app/search/does-high-red-meat-consumption-increase-cardiovasc/R1PWrnU0QVyPcyu1y-ZZ0Q/ https://consensus.app/search/is-high-red-meat-consumption-healthy/dnUYmzpDS3SRKQhUE87Ynw/ There you go ⬆️ It's not healthy.

Recently, I found out that to successfully build a business, or in other words to have the best chances at succeeding, you're supposed to have a hyper-focused time in your life where you decide that all you're going to do is do the work required, show up everyday, and do nothing else, and you do this until it starts working and it slowly gets easier each step after that (I'm guessing this part!) So what does that look like? Probably something like getting a part-time job to support you while you do it, maybe using your savings to move to a country with a low cost of living for months or years. I'm assuming this process takes a minimum of 6 months. Full-time job + building a business? Probably not the best bet. You might be walking a fine line, living with your parents or family can make it easier. Especially if your parents are supportive, this is a gift that not many have. Many parents envision their kids being wage slaves for life out of pure ignorance. Especially as a man, trying to make it in something can feel like life or death, make or break. You need focus, and that comes from fewer things on your plate.

You think about some very unique and honestly quite strange things that have never crossed my mind, ever. I was a little scared reading all that, from sheer dissimilarity.
