Hardkill

Do you think that Hollywood celebrities have more Orange than Green, even though most of them are liberals or progressives?

Sadly, it seems that there are less out there in this world than before who believe in science.

I am not so sure anymore if we will ever get back to living full normal lives including having zero lockdowns, no more school closings, no longer needing to wear a mask again, totally normal employment, go to big events, going back to having 100% normal social and dating lives, etc. Am I being too pessismistic?

If you don't mind me asking, how old were you when lost your virginity or get your first girlfriend ever?

There’s a strong chance that the summer volume will one day go down to being less than 10% because of how increasingly authoritarian Texas has gotten and the skyrocketing number of dangerous gun owners and barbarians within the entire state.

No offense to anyone living in Texas, but I don't think I would ever want to live there. It's still controlled greatly by authoritarian regressive Republicans. The state might end up getting so conservative to the point of going back to the old days where women don't even have voting rights. Women in Texas have already lost the right to have an abortion there. They may eventually lose the right to be sexually liberated or meet any guys they want.

Isn't truth rarely a man's highest priorities? After all, there are just about as many men as there are women who are dishonest. Also, even if the masculine values autonomy, it often wants to take away other people's autonomy by controlling them.

In relation to this thread these are the main reasons as to why has been a great labor shortage for the past several months: 1. More older people are retiring earlier 2. Visa and immigration reductions 3. Skills mismatch 4. Commuting issues 5. Child care issues 6. Some opposition to vaccine mandates 7. A lot of people still fear getting COVID from work. 8. Great resignation of workers who are getting seriously fed up with not getting their fair share of pay from their employers.

I do remember what you said @Carl-Richard . I guess I am just trying my best to understand why certain countries are an exception broad sweeping statements about societies.

Now, do you think that he has lost his stage Yellow traits?

I've tried looking for the answer all over the Internet and the only thing I found so far is that it's because India already was heavily influenced by Britain's culture for about a century. Also, Gandhi's movement further promoted democracy. Yet, I still don't see how India is able to survive under a democratic government when the country has resources, GDP per capita, and infrastructure that are even poorer than even in countries like Saudi Arabia, China, and Russia which are ruled by authoritarian dictators. Leo said that the reason why low-income and underdeveloped societies don't have democratic governments is because they need authoritarian leaders in order to survive in the kind of harsh living conditions they are in.

Well, I pray that one day there will be another major, powerful voting and equal rights movement in the US like the US abolitionist movement in the 1800s or the civil rights movements in the mid 1900s.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTKyfmJfWq8 Sam mentions how Biden is no LBJ and should've tried since the very beginning of his administration to play hardball politics on the Republicans and conservative Democrats. He now says that the speech Biden gave in Georgia on voting rights sounded good, but that it was too late. Given, that the Martin Luther King holiday is right around the corner and the fact that the voting rights of minorities all around the USA are in serious jeopardy, I think that this is a very appropriate time for all of us on this forum to talk about this extremely important issue.

So, how is India able to maintain some kind of democracy when it is so underdeveloped?

oh yeah, true.

How do you do that?

Yeah, I agree with @Sempiternity. It actually infuriates me that Trump still hasn't been convicted of ANY CRIME! Even after he has done for most of his life!

Maybe he could hire somebody to make the timestamps in his vids?

Yeah! I thought the same thing myself. Leo definitely should try to add timestamps in his video. It would help people review more quickly and efficiently which specific parts of Leo's speech or lecture in the vid they need to go over.

Why do you think that India has been able to have it for such a long time when it has over a billion people the country, most of whom are still so poor, its country has a very underdeveloped infrastructure, and the vast majority of its citizens are not secular?

Alright, thanks for your responses. I am curious see what any of Mods' responses are to this thread.

Bad news.... Today, the US Supreme Court ruled to blocked Biden's vaccine mandate for all large businesses. This mandate which would've been enforced by OSHA would've forced every single employee throughout the entire country who works in a business that has 100+ employees to either get fully vaccinated or go through weekly testing.

So, I've very recently have approached some more girls near where I live and I got most of them to genuinely laugh at or with some of my sexual jokes. For example, one of the girls I randomly approached was talking with me about food and she mentioned during the conversation how she doesn't like to eat unusual foods like cow tongue because she think it's so disgusting and dirty and you don't where things like tongue has been. So, my response was "that's what she said." She right away made a good laugh. So, that worked and eventually by the end of the conversation I got her number. However, when I made other kinds of sexual jokes in the past I got myself blown out. For instance, a few years ago, there was this one night where I approached a cute chick at a bar and started out having a good conversation with her. At some point in the conversation she asked something along the lines of "so, how come you are here by yourself and what brings you here?" So, my response was "Well, I am looking for some kind of friends with benefits?." She then gave me a weird look and was like "uh....okay, yeah...then I am going to go....bye." Right away, I said "wait, wait, wait, I was joking! I was joking!" Yet, she said that it was not funny and kept walking away. I don't know why some of the sexual jokes I make don't always work, but other times they do.

So, you're saying that the probably of an official authoritarian taking over the country is extremely unrealistic. Then, how come Russia slid back from having a democratic government to an authoritarian one right after Putin took charge of the country?
