Living at the whims of the algorithm will program people, it is the worst content model imaginable. If the unpredictability of rain made people start doing human sacrifice, then the fickle algorithm can easily make you troon yourself
If you’ve paid attention to the fitness influencer sphere for the last decade or so you’ll notice 50% of them have gone clinically insane and many have died from deaths of despair. A lot of SARMS users in particular just post videos of themselves crying now.

Hypocrisy has been far too diluted lately, some people would call you a hypocrite for loving your family more than a random stranger. The arbitrariness of universality is corrosive to actual relationships. Yes, you should prefer your own! Thats the point of having your own!
people forget that a part of being a sports fan is being a hypocrite

The cultural revolution really did a number on China, huh?

Would you rather be born in a golden age, and see it fall? Or be born in a depression, and die just as it got good again?
Ppl have trouble w/ this concept but: 1950 - 2008 were a once-a-millenia aberration but within that aberration we followed the usual “strong men, good times” cycle Our looong (if rapid) descent to “normalcy” will be hardest for those w/ strong memory of the aberration (1/2)

one time I made my dentist listen to a boards of canada album during a procedure and she got sleepy and dropped a tool on my head. Later while the laughing gas was wearing off she said she is usually the one who does the torturing. anyway the new album is pretty good

If you don't speak Spanish, you might not notice this, but Bad Bunny sounds like he has Down syndrome. Like actually, If you did a bad bunny impression 15 years ago people would genuinely think you were just mocking the disabled. He is Soulja Boy from an island, stop pandering.
My libtard boss put on bad bunny to be more welcoming to the Mexicans at work m and three Mexican ladies approached me and were like “can we change the music? This is disgusting”

>Writing long books is a laborious & impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist & to offer a summary, a commentary -Jorge Luis Borges
"invent an entire world in your head, and then write a short summary of it" is probably the best writing advice I have ever heard.

Spain is a land for the stubborn and the faithful. A land for religious fanatics. The fact it has replaced the faith with liberal progressivism does not make them one lick less religious.
The most extreme 180 in national stereotype must be the Spaniards. From these dour, rule-obsessed, merciless, religious fanatics to these happy-go-lucky, easygoing, siesta-having party animals.

Can someone point to the exact year that England became a propositional nation? Like when did it become law?

And that 5y/o's name? Patrice O'neal
My 5 y/o said she didn’t want to watch The Dark Knight with me because she’s “scared of the creepy clown.” Umm sweetie that “creepy clown” has a name, it’s Maggie Gyllenhaal.

Just think of lecherous old men vs old women and how weird Madonna is for fucking and sucking at 75 vs someone like Mick Jagger. This whole argument is just "women are shorter on average" "But my sister is tall??" How many women die gooning in septic tanks?
Women do not “often, have libidos as high or higher than men.” That’s not a true statement.

Most feminism consists of pointing at the horrors of the third world and then asking first world men for an apology.
These 3rd world feminist bait accounts make a lot more sense if you imagine they’re specifically talking about the men in their country.

A lot of people are throwing around the term "Cargo Cult" these days. I don't exactly know what it means, but they seem pretty smart, so I am going to start using it too!
