  1. Part of the problem is that illegitimate migrants think that they stand a chance. It's a soft system. Try that shit anywhere else you might not even get the chance to just walk back home, like 25k of those Morocco ended up doing when there was no accommodation miraculously waiting for them. There's a tension between human rights and border control that needs to be negotiated. I err towards control of the border as I don't think the alternative is politically viable. You can't have a state who's borders people feel are insecure. It's the crux of liberalism, how loosening of restrictions tends to lead to instability and fragmentation. Then you get hordes of people risking their lives rushing a border for no realistic gain. 57 have already died during this picnic. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. It is interesting to note how the vibe has changed since the 2010s on migration. It's seen much more as a nuisance now politically.
  2. The holocaust was caused by Nazi Germany and the fascistic need to manufacture enemies. Criticizing Israel, even if conspiratorial, isn't suddenly going to lead to Jewish genocide. That is ridiculously untrue. The holocaust card is so tired now, it's starting to get pathetic. Crocodile tears from a genocidal state.
  3. Leto seems like the brand of creep to give unsolicited close ear whispering. Brrrrr 🥶
  4. Most people aren't that weird normally.
  5. What is it with long haired dudes being super creepy? 😭 The worst part is I'm not shocked at all. of course he's a creep. But don't worry. He'll find jesus. Just wait for the lawsuits.
  6. Most people are shallow. Subtle Art, the most basic ass shit, is one of the most popular self-help books. You only know what you know. Gotta dig in with what you got.
  7. Not sure if we're in the denial or negotiation phase of the death of hype.
  8. You know how hard you should be working on an intuitive level. Just ask yourself. How much do you feel you need to work to achieve your goals? Adjust accordingly.
  9. I don't think so, but I do think that zionism and Netanyahu are bad for the country long-term.
  10. It's from a journal from New England, which is close to NY, but the dude probably drove all over the US. The constant exposure is the biggest factor.
  11. At the risk of sounding like exaggeration, SPF is one of the closest things we have to anti-aging. This trucker of 28 years never wore SPF and the side facing the window is visibly aged.
  12. I didn't write that blog btw. No expert.
  13. Have you tried different brands? You don't need that much. If you have the tism I can imagine you being kinda of sensitive. You'll have to find something that works for you.
  14. I paid money to find this info, so you better be grateful. https://whiterabbitsocial.com/all-articles/mens-skincare-hygiene-guide-routine/ What's nice about skincare as a type of self-help is that it doesn't take very long for you to start seeing results.
  15. Sunscreen in the morning then a cleanser followed up by a moisturizer in the evening. Those are the three essentials. I have an in depth blog witch covers pretty much everything somewhere. Will post later.
  16. Elon is the definitive billionaire chud. So rich and powerful but still gets bullied by kids less than half his age online. It's genuinely scary and kind of fucked when kids know they are more confident than you. Like they insult you when you walk past the local kindergarten. Elon would cry if you placed him in school today as an adult. And now he has some sort of midlife autistic brainmelt where he thinks he need to save the world, which just so happens to be perfectly aligned with what is good for his bottomline. Elon is no more qualified or legitimate than any random guy on the street to run politics. Who does he think he is, genuinely? Worse than that, he bases his political understanding of Twitter headlines. He's even too lazy to learn. God help us all.
  17. This is like a sitcom bruh 😭 Some Kramer shit from Seinfield.
  18. Shocked you didn't catch a beating.
  19. You wore the whole birthday cake at school? Huh?
  20. I'm halfway through that book on charisma from Leo's book list, and combined with a bunch of other sources and my own experience I've realized that charisma and making people like you is basically sucking people off verbally. Your trying to make people feel good about themselves and give them value socially essentially. I read into this stuff to work on my confidence but my takeaway besides these skills is that maybe I'm okay just not caring that much. Like, who am I trying to impress? Most people I don't even like or care about that much. Thoughts?
  21. It's emotional value. It's how you make people feel. A charismatic bum is suspicious.
  22. Disowned royals when a movie director is at the party
