  1. Come to Berlin, my friend
  2. Health problems are terrible. Hope he finds peace.
  3. 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
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. Perhaps I'm too paranoid from all the violent content I get on my feed Assaults are apparently hitting new lows
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Sold my pc because video games like this one were running my entire life. I loved hard games. rip
  11. 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
  12. Once this guy’s gone the Republican party loses 50% of their charm, they’re all slimy, greasy and unlikable.
  13. Damn, Jesus really cares what you put your dick into 😆 Is humping my pillow a sin? Anything about pillows in the bible? Ridiculous
  14. 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...
  15. 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.
  16. 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
  17. 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"
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. To be honest, I think the majority of things you call Western are all a result of capitalism, liberalism, and individualism, which all come in tandem. It's all bound to happen, even in Asia, too, where you don't have those things; you have other problems to worry about.
  22. Funny you mention that I'm also going to East Asia at the beginning of November this year, and I've had some epiphanies as well, mostly how cheap it is and how some parts are so much technologically advanced in ways where the US is so stagnant. China's operating maglev train can go 300-420km* an hour and they already unveiled their working prototype maglev CRRC 600 that goes 600km/h. The maglev train ticket costs like $7. Having grown up in Europe, I massively prefer public transport + walking over lone car driving; the US doesn't even have the railway or sidewalks for these things to be possible. Even if you only want to visit Los Angeles, you need a car, which is sad. In most parts of Asia, everything is really cheap, like you said. In Vietnam, a week in a 4-5 star apartment can run you a little over $100-150. I am going to Hanoi, Vietnam, on November 9th, and additionally Tokyo/Osaka + Seoul, South Korea, maybe Beijing for a day or two. Nothing is set in stone yet, besides Vietnam. I'm curious about your experience and elaboration on the dating and relationships in Asia vs America. Socially, I found America way too grindy and money-driven. The friendship part was mostly a positive experience in the US, which is where our views slightly diverge. The whory/ladyboy media in Thailand has painted a bleak picture of the dating/friendship part for all of East Asia for me. I am open to changing how I feel about it. I'm curious how you communicated with people there. I still think it's massively subjective. Even though I love cities like Paris, I would never live there, or anywhere in Asia for that matter, I prefer the US even over the UK, which is closer to my European roots and way closer physically. I am culturally more familiar with America than even my own country. Which is the single reason why it wins for me. If you want it real, I think non-subjectively, Australia and Scandinavia are likely the best places to live. Subjectively, I like the reckless dating and friendship side of America; Australia is too far from anything, and Scandinavia is far too lonely and isolating. Subjectively.
  23. Find other web developers/business people like yourself and start going to bars or casual drinks somewhere where there is a lot of women hanging around. Just talk and listen. Preferably find friends who are absolute yappers and immature as shit; these are the best, they get other men laid. The most confident, attractive, and likable you'll look to women is when you're listening and talking to someone and having a good time.
  24. Looks like they're coming for 3D artists Still, apps like Framer, Wix, and Squarespace exist where you can make a website in a day, and companies still pay thousands to web developers for websites that get 0 traffic, so this probably isn't a total industry-killer either. The birth of a new industry is close, solo triple-A games. These developers or small studios will likely throw a new bone for Nintendo, Sony, and EA to fetch. The good thing with AI in creative industries is that money-hungry corporations likely won't be able to compete at their level currently, because their games cost $80 and are just a copy or extension of past games they made. Like god of War (please kill), we don't need another swinging and dashing game for the rest of existence.
  25. I have so much experience with ChatGPT to recognize its annoying writing from an airplane It's like overhearing something bad happened in town and knowing exactly who did it Anyway, having sex with an escort isn't worth a post on Actualized.org or even thinking about, which is probably why you asked ChatGPT to write this post in no time. I have been dragged into the escort stuff due to my outstanding ability to attract the worst people into my life. It's like an expensive masturbation session. The guy who dragged those girls over to Europe is the one who's profiting the most. The girls will say they're signed with an 'agency', which makes it sound professional and non-exploitative. It's cope for not having a girlfriend to fuck, watch some porn, and save yourself €150 If you live in Rome and speak fluent Italian, you really have no excuse; even Milan has good nightlife, and it's half the population. Some streets are filled with young prime-age girls, European women don't care what you do for work, they are probably still in college, and cycle to the grocery store
