  1. Chances are I'm going to be better off than all of yall who are trying to speculate and time the market, just by regurarly investing into a trustoworthy ETFs for decades and not caring about the topic much, if at all
  2. @Princess Arabia How can your advice be so beyond useless? It genuinely baffles me. I couldn't be saying stuff that is so useless even if I tried. It just feels like you're here to be condescending and appear as wiser than you actually are, all while wrapping it into some psycho spiritual word salad
  3. She aint no sir😂 come on
  4. Yes, I've been seeing this guy often in my Youtube reels. His arguments tend to be pretty non sensical a lot of the times, but how can they not be when you're trying to defend something so indeffensible as Christianity. It would be the same thing as defending Islam, or any other religion. That is not to say that he is a stupid guy necessarily, but you can clearly tell he has to delude himself to a significant degree in order to mantain his christian beliefs I even faintly remember one of his clips where he was trying to explain why God let Jesus die on the cross, it's because it was supposedly a just thing to do because the penalty for evil is death (I guess he meant the evil of non believers?) and Jesus paid that penalty in a form of crucifixion, because God is just. Just think about how non sensical this sounds Some of his arguments that there has to be an inteligent creator because we are an inteligent creation (by "we" I mean everything) are fairly solid, but the thing he doesn't understand is that, why would that creator be some sort of personal entity that cares about us specifically, and cares about our well being, even building places such as "heaven" and "hell" for us. It cannot possibly be a personal entity but he has to believe that, because he's a Christian
  5. Having kids and getting married, these two things function as an insurance against future potential loneliness and isolation, while also giving you a sense of purpose in life. At least that's what they should do, of course there are no guarantees and both your wife and your kids could suddenly leave you alone in a dust. And by loneliness I don't necessarilly mean lack of people you can talk to, because you can always talk to anyone technically, but people you can actually depend on, that is a different story. Being old and not being able to depend on anyone feels like a scary future prospect. I'm certain your "friends" are not people you can depend on (and are friends by a mere circumstance, rotated every few years) If this loneliness problem could be somehow bypassed then I would easilly give up on getting married and having children but since it's not - and since the world can be a cynically cruel place - it's something that has to be a goal of mine
  6. @Nemra Why do you think we don't know what death is? Do you not accept biological death as the true definition of death? Regardless of anything, the bodies we are currently occupying will reach an expiration date some day, whether by the actions of us or nature, doesn't really matter. That should be considered death
  7. Double the entrances, double the fun (All indian accounts are kinda sus, ngl)
  8. It's always fascinating to see the 'if you don't provide evidence, I don't have to believe you' approach—especially when it conveniently ignores that data can be interpreted in multiple ways. Sure, you found an EU-funded study that claims no link between immigration and crime. And naturally, a government body that supports mass migration would be entirely objective in its research, right? Because the EU has been spot-on with all its policies—like the seamless integration of migrants and the economic boom that was promised. Remind me how well that's working out across Europe? As for the U.S., it's great that legal immigrants have lower crime rates than native-born citizens. But comparing them to illegal immigrants or, better yet, to entirely different migrant groups in Europe is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Just because it works one way in the States doesn’t mean it’s a universal truth. And while we're talking about cherry-picking, it’s amusing how any mention of crime related to migration is instantly labeled as fear-mongering. Of course, questioning mass migration policies must be rooted in xenophobia, right? Couldn’t possibly be about maintaining social order or addressing legitimate concerns. By the way, ever wonder why countries like Poland and Hungary, which have tighter immigration controls, consistently report lower crime rates? But I guess that's just another coincidence we shouldn't read into. Anyway, keep the studies coming. If nothing else, it’s entertaining to see how far we can stretch a narrative without breaking it.
  9. Honestly, I'm not going to bother with linking anything, but I'm pretty sure I would find something if I looked for it. It's just so obvious that the crime increase is real, it's almost common sense. If you think that I should always provide proof for my claims and to justify my arguments, well, I don't really care much for these rules. I care more about the truth, not some bickering How many muslim immigrants from african and middle eastern countries are comming into United States? Not many, certainly significantly less than what Europe took under it's umbrella. And what do you exactly mean by "US born citizens", are there only white people included in that statistic or, are there also black people? I mean, aren't black people kinda commiting at least half if not more of the crimes? I would need to check on that one but I'm pretty sure that's the case. This would then skew the problems with illegal immigration comming from Mexico, no? And the crime rate from these people. You are kinda comparing apples and oranges. There are different kinds of illegal immigrants with different kinds of development and values. You Americans never had to deal with a massive surge of muslim illegal immigration so what do yall really know?
  10. @Emerald You never had to personally suffer or see negative effects of illegal immigration tho. And that "yappy dog" represents a country with a population of several million men AND women, who want to live safe and prosperous lives. It is undeniable that illegal immigration from a certain muslim countries (mostly african and middle eastern ones) correlates with increased levels of crime. These people also tend to be backwards in their development and view of the world, bringing their intolerant religion together with them. Your idealistic worldviews will not change that
  11. Or, on the contrary, maybe that's why women were rarely leaders in history, because when the going gets tough and stuff hits the fan, and there's a need for some emotionally hard things to be done, it is men who are able to set aside their emotions, not women. Poland and all the countries of the central Europe have zero responsibility in creating nor benefitting from European collonialism (not that that's some bulletproof argument, it's moreso used as a guilt tripping tool nowadays, but I can understand the rationale behind it) and therefore I agree that central Europeans certainly shouldn't have to take any refugees from those parts of the world, especially since there is a significant correlation in their presence in western European countries with crime. Now, I don't support any shooting, but Poland absolutely has right not to take any of these migrants, that's for sure undeniable
  12. Religions will always exist because in whichever way you may disprove God, there will always exists parts of reality that are unknown to us, and therefore religions will just put away God into that category. The so called "God of the gap", gap representing lack of our understanding, of course. There is one thing that all religions and science have in common tho, and that is that they have to acknowledge that reality was created by itself, or that basically everything ultimately came out of nothing. Or in whatever way you choose to word that. If you ask a Christian or a Muslim who created God, they'll tell you that God always existed. So God created itself out of nothing basically. If you ask a scientist what caused Big Bang, they'd either tell you they don't know yet, or that it's unknowable because there was nothing, not even time before Big Bang. Again, everything came out of nothing. So we are basically kinda forced to come to terms with that
  13. It's just dissapointing for me to see that humans only tend to have a dual response to everything, we are either too tolerant and accommodating or we become too hostile and defensive. There should be a more nuanced approach to these immigrant crisies, whenever they're happenning, our responses to them should be flexible depending on the situation or the ammount of threat (or lack thereof) immigrants pose to us. Instead we just get drifted out from one side of the political spectrum to the other, making our responses very innefective
  14. Yeah there must be other effective ways to get rid off illegal immigrants, defending borders with such drastic measures should be the very last option, if an option at all
  15. Another ChatGTP Youtube channel. We are trully entering an age of creativity death. That's a trully brutal policy. But perhaps needed for Poland specifically. But maybe it should be implemented in a more mercifull form, for example the first 3 times we'll catch you crossing our border as an illegal immigrant, we'll use non lethal meassures to detain you, then after 4th time we'll use actual bullets. Something like that. Being shot at immidiately is kinda brutal
  16. You can make an app icon of this website and set it on your phone home screen, would that count for you as valid? LOL
  17. Yes, I have also noticed that, just like you said, this "feeling" of perseverance doesn't stomp on the already existing emotions and sensations, but rather bypasses them. This also guarantees that you'll not be doing something senselessly and stupidly, you can always choose to quit if you sense what you're doing is unhealthy or unreasonable, as opposed to doing it the David Goggins way. Which was always my main problem with him, is that what he's doing is stupid and unreasonable, despite his work ethic and discipline. Yes, I think you are onto something with this one. You've inspired me. Maybe constantly inspiring oneself is also important in this?
  18. Wow okay. Yeah, she's probably right. Maybe I should do this the official doctor way as well. Was it her who then cleaned up your ears and if so, what method did she use?
  19. Perhaps duplicate accounts are a weird form of exercise in postmodernism, after all, who are we to police other's personal expression and their versions of truth and who are we to tell them it's all wrong. From their point of view and in the context of their situation, 10 000 personalities expressing themselves are all independent persons and that's the truth from their POV, so that's all that matters at the end of the day (*insert heavy sarcasm*)
  20. Yep, country checks out, very expected
  21. You can invest into FTSE all world ETFs which track capitalization of companies around the whole world, even China. Althought it's still mostly made out of S&P 500 companies, it also includes some top companies from the rest of the world and even some emerging, not yet established markets But Americans are still top economic players it seems, despite all the Chinese glazing happenning even here
  22. Oh my God you expect me to watch this video with Logan Paul in the intro, my gag reflex gets instantly activated when I look at any of the Paul brother's face. At least provide us with a warning beforehand
  23. Btw even if he passed as a chick, he would be average at best. Maybe it's time to have some self respect and standards as men. This is not some crazy "glow up" or whatever
  24. LOL friendly fire in the house
  25. If you want to be extra safe then invest into gold. But gold is only a mantainer of value, not increaser. Plus it's fairly difficult to turn it back into money, since it's also just an emergency fund for other people as well. So liquidity is low. Then there's worse scenarios than a financial crash, but that's already a territory of survival prepping. Not exactly investing. Investing kinda assumes that things are going to remain fairly civilized in the future
