It's the only practical solution to deal with emotional terrorists who pull the suicide card. You can't give them what they want they'll just keep pulling it. You can't say "go ahead I don't care" (well you can call the bluff that way but they'll then play the "waaah why are you so mean to me !" game and get some idiot to fall for it and bother you.

But you can play the, "that sounds very serious, I'm calling the police because you are a danger to yourself" response and there's very little they can do about that. Shuts it straight down and keeps them from pulling it again if they aren't legit suicidal and insane, which of course validates the move.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-26T21:26:08+00:00

I'd be suspicious. This would be enough to institutionalize someone. I'd take the call for help seriously but I'd be calling the cops saying hey you need to intervene here this person is suicidal.

You can't tell people to kill themselves. Telling them to consider taking very painful surgical interventions with high failure rates that will leave you sterile potentially incontinent and in pain that may drive one to consider suicide as an out though, that's fine.

But don't you dare tell people not to do that and just do nothing instead because that is telling them to kill themselves.

It seems like they are mostly aimed at old people. I suspect it's so partisan poll volunteers can talk the more senile ones into voting for whom they think is the best.

I don't really have a problem with the partisan poll volunteers offering to drive old people to the polls or whatever. But unless you've got a really good excuse, such as lack of arms, you really need to fill out the ballot yourself without any help.

Plenty of reasons to allow for absentee voting. But the US seems to allow people to just request an absentee ballot without having to provide a good reason.

Being abroad, being on duty in the military, being on a work assignment, hell even just being on vacation on the day of the election, I'd allow such reasons, but you've got to show proof.

People have been saying this for many decades.

Ask yourself if it makes sense? You'll see a great many people trying to sell you precious metals now as they do whenever the economy is in decline. But why would they be trying to sell you soon to be more valuable precious metals for soon to be worthless fiat currency? One would have to be an idiot to do that, are they idiots? Or is the premise flawed.

The reason is simple, during economic downturns the shrinking economy will lead to less demand in manufacturing for precious metals, resulting in price drops, the currency on the other hand can be used to purchase other assets less susceptible to inflationary pressures that are far more liquid than precious metals. When the economy begins to improve you'll begun to see many cash for gold places pop up again to take advantage of the increased demand for the metals as manufacturing begins to kick off again.

Precious metals are not particularly good investments as a hedge against inflation or the very unlikely scenario of total economic collapse. Simply because without an economy to drive their use in manufacturing they have little to no value in such a situation compared to other more practical assets. One cannot eat gold. It is practically useless for survival. And without an economy to use it to trade, it is simply a paperweight in a society where paperwork no longer seems necessary.

One is far better off buying large amounts of weapons, they are useful at protecting your assets and seizing control of others who were foolish enough not to invest in weapons. Alternatively alcohol of all sorts will he very valuable to trade as both a disinfectant and escape vector for many, as will cigarettes. Alcohol will be worth more than gold in such a situation. And if you've got the means to make your own you can become king of your post atomic hovel.

Less "women" and more feminine attitudes supplanting most activity on the internet as time goes on. This isn't a dig at women, plenty are normal and don't act like the pearl clutchers, one area where trans ideology has some minor value, different personality types aren't necessarily tied to sex, feminine and masculine are just shorthand to describe a group of behaviors more typically associated with men and those more typically associated with women, individuals can show any personality type regardless.

In the past the internet was dominated more by masculine personality types as those people would show more interest in the technology as they are more interested in "things" over "people".

Once the tech goes mainstream and becomes "noob friendly" bunch of feminine types get on it and slowly dominate all online activity on social media message boards and the like, just because they tend to be more social and post more often. It's a tragedy of the commons but in a different way than normal. The whole point of the internet as an anonymous forum was to say the shit you couldn't say irl for normal reasons. But some random stranger saying something mean makes someone who shouldn't be exposing themselves to the raw unadulterated bile of the hivemind cry, so instead of telling that person to log the fuck off and go touch grass, you shut up the hive mind and only let people say nice things. Which just ruins the point of the anonymous forum so anyone with anything interesting to say will leave, and probably just go back to public forums where they are more restricted in some ways, but less in others since it's much harder to ban people IRL.

How much is cancel culture and how much is not? Going over to a different topic, drug use, I'm not going to cancel a friend if they admit to me they are addicted to a substance, but the addiction itself may become problematic in other ways, like if they can't refrain from using in public. This can be very problematic and come to effect you as such things can be a serious crime.

I think the problem lies less in the user and more in the provider. I don't fault the addict so much for their habit, but their dealer is certainly responsible for a lion's share of the blame.

Of course the individual always shares some responsibility for their own actions. But it cannot be stressed enough that without the dealer the heroin addict is unlikely to provide their own.

Wouldn't necessarily say high IQ but there were definitely barriers of entry that kept most people away.

Once the smartphone came out it means everyone could get online easily that that basically started the effect you described. Personally I've a theory that it's largely due to the "feminization" of the internet. Not so much a problem with women online, there's always been some, but the frumpy moralist types you'd see in churches way back when. In other words, activist types.

Some bozo online told you to kill yourself, either ignore the fuck out of them, log off and do something productive, or whine and complain about how online bullying is making you sad and how it needs to end. Two of those solutions work fine, the third is the same sort of person who got rid of the swing set from the children's playground because some kids were doing stuff they weren't supposed to on it, like climbing it, or swinging too high. The fun police.

The way to end it is to bring back public smoking. Not that I like the public smoking, but ceading the commons to the most easily offended eventually means that rule list of what you can't do there will grow indefinitely.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-24T12:14:04+00:00

It's a problem with corporate profit seeking taking short term quarterly gains as their primary motivation. Related to capitalism, but the thing is that ideally in a capitalistic system, you have competition and can also just choose not to do business with people. Otherwise it's always going to be balance between the customers trying to get everything for as little price as possible and the producers trying to sell everything for as much as possible.

It's not really that shitty even with the commercials if you can get a lot of stuff for free. I'm definitely not going to be bothering with streaming if it goes this way though, same way I don't bother with cable.

The main thing is you need to keep the market pretty much open to competition, and one of the big issues with "capitalism" is it tends to devolve into a few big corporate players monopolizing the market and then you get shitty products at inflated prices because you don't have a choice.

This is the same in a communist system as well, the main difference between the two is one the means of production is controlled by the government pretending to act in the interests of its people, and the other it is controlled by large corporate entities pretending to act in the interest of their customers. For the little guy it doesn't make much difference.

Main thing I think you need is regulation to prevent any one entity from cornering the market and preventing others from entering. Amazon is a good example of a company that is bordering on monopolizing huge portions of the market especially due to covid shutting down a lot of the retail spaces and they probably need to be broken up at some point.

You gotta be careful though, you absolutely want companies to reap profits for producing superior products, but you have to make sure they aren't colluding to corner the market unfairly between pricing out smaller actors or simply throwing around huge amounts of money to buy out anyone who might potentially pose a future threat to their business. It's the same reason you put limits on bets in a poker game. You don't want to come sit at a table where one guy has billions of times more chips than you and can go all in on every hand effectively forcing the smaller players to go bust or forfeit their bets.

Most of it is. The vast majority of anime is made for TV and designed to be done as cheaply as possible. There's few exceptions.

I think the main problem is weebs just treat it all like it's the same and they tend to really go for the cheap budget shit since that's what you get on Saturday morning TV. Some of the stuff made for theatrical releases tends to be good. But those actually have budgets.

I mean the guy is like "you are going to judge people based on what porn they like"

Yes? Obviously. Don't you?

I don't pry into other people's private business so the only way I'm going to know about people's porn habits is if they tell me, and I'm not going to broadcast that information to others since I respect people's privacy, but it does beg the question of why you are telling me about it, if you ask me my opinion I'll just tell you what I think and you might not like it. It's an asshole move I guess but sometimes being an asshole is the right thing to be.

I'm questioning if you know the kind of shit these people are into if they are into "loli" there's some really fucked up stuff out there, and weebs really like to downplay anyone pointing it out. There was that CNN piece years ago when they went to Akihabara to a bunch of public shops and found the most fucked up porn you can imagine, will spare you the details just say you imagine it it exists. Weebs hated it and cried bloody murder which was funny because they can't separate the ideas of the Japanese cartoons they worship and hentai being different things entirely.

Akihabara is a shithole anyway though and it's pretty hilarious to watch the weebs lose their shit when you tell them it's a tourist trap mostly catering towards Chinese wanting to buy rice cookers.

It's the furries really, I knew a few self identified furries in college, some were otherwise normal, but they had what we'd call common sense, wouldn't publicly identify as furries because they knew there was no good reason to, and just did shit in private. Then there were people with mental disabilities that identified as furries, who had no inhibitions as such. They've not really moved out of the childhood pretend phase but with adult urges.

You have 60k in retirement on paper,

It might be a smart move if you cash out of that retirement fund and bury that money in your backyard.

So take your "on paper" money, convert it to literal paper money that will devalue due to inflation. Right.

Savings kind of are pointless in an inflationary economy. You save money? Great. It's literally worth less than it was before and you're worse off saving it than you would have been had you spent it for something else.

Doesn't mean most people don't understand the value of liquidity or have rediculously small rainy day funds because they are overextending on stuff they don't need. It's not so much about saving money as it's about budgeting your expenses smartly and investing in safe long term options. Most people are retarded though.

I know it is basically meaningless in online discussions. It either means "stupid people I don't like" or "the righteous defenders against fascism" depending on who you ask.

What the fuck does it actually mean? I thought it was supposed to mean "people who believe in using government resources liberally" as opposed to a conservative who "wants to conserve government resources and not use them liberally"

Most supposed liberals are conservative on some issues and very liberal on others, as are most supposed conservatives. American liberals seem very conservative when it comes to environmental resources and american conservatives seem supremely liberal when it comes to military resources.

So what does the word liberal even mean in the popular discourse? Seems about as meaningless as "fascist" or "racist" or whatever other labels get thrown about as a means of obscuring discussion and eliciting an emotional response.

Isn't that most of this internet outrage? It's a bunch of kids going around "oh no look at how horrible other people are, they aren't enlightened like me!".

It's a text post on reddit so jury is out on if the incident even happened or not. It's believable enough to assume such a thing could happen. But you'd have to be a right pathetic dumbass to be offended by it on behalf of non-existent transpeople to go post it on reddit. Hell you'd be a dumbass for wasting time posting it on reddit anyway. So my guess is generally that it's a troll.

I've demonstrated this with people who were too Reddit brained in the past. Make a totally fake story where I'm the victim of something. Zero proof at all, loads of people upvoted it, and anyone pointing out it's a troll, they get downvoted or banned.

Tell them they do pass, they'll whine and complain about how you lied to them.

Ironically they are emulating female behavior here but only if they choose the most neurotic and self absorbed females to emulate. It'd the "does this dress make me look fat" paradox.

More or less true. If you think of where tour tongue is when making an l or an r sound, the Japanese and Chinese equivalent tends to be somewhere in the middle of that. Which is a sound that is similar to either but is neither.

So it isn't that I'd say the phoneme is alien, it's just the east Asian phoneme doesn't exist in English and it only has one variation, where in English there's two different phonemes. If you think about it the L and R sounds are actually very similar mechanically, but since native English speakers grow up with a language that differentiates them the brain picks up on it as necessary information for determining meaning. Someone growing up speaking Japanese or Chinese it doesn't really matter if you get sloppy with the pronunciation of your L or R since the phoneme in those languages is singular and the differentiation is not important towards meaning so native speakers of those languages don't get the same mental awareness of the change.

On the flip side both Chinese and Japanese have some tonal qualities in vowel tones that are important towards meaning, far more pronounced in Chinese (most Japanese curriculum will not mention the two tones in Japanese since it will scare off beginners and isn't really important as the correct meaning can be interpreted by context, as well as tonalities varying by dialect) .

If you listen to the Chinese tones side by side you can definitely make them out and hear the difference, but it's very hard to reproduce especially in conversation if you're growing up in a language that doesn't consider tones to be integral to meaning. Same for Japanese or Chinese speakers with L or R, they understand the difference but it's hard to use when their language simply considers both to be equivalent.

Here's the thing though. Putin stating the obvious that the sky is blue is just typical political grandstanding. It's also pointless.

Regardless of whether or not you believe the Trump allegations it is irrelevant. Either Trump is guilty and the system is rotten. Or Trump is innocent and the system is rotten . It's a pointless non-statement made by the king of crooked politics to take attention away from his own problems.

Anxiety disorders essentially. I'm not sure what the gender disparities statistically are, but I do know I've met a lot more women like this than men. Though I've seen it more in men recently, I think that's because society as a whole tended to be a lot less tolerant of this sort of behavior in men and coddled them less until quite recently, when it seems that "your fears are valid" is the stock response to everything.

But you know some people walk around assuming every stranger is going to rape them. They assume every random person on the street is a thief trying to case their joint. There's a point where healthy suspicion gives way to just paranoia.

I think the internet enables it a lot. The paranoid hyperanxious types sit around at home and basically find each other online. Support their paranoia as totally valid, and group together to ban anyone who goes and says they are acting crazy because that is mean.

It's a lack of balance I think, I've met some real uncautious types that will throw themselves into sketchy situations and it can be quite dangerous, on the other hand I've met people just preoccupied with imagining the worst case scenario all the time. There's no way logic or reason can reach either. Go too far either way and it's bad for you I think.

Media plays into it a lot as well. I remember back around 9/11, and again with COVID really, a whole bunch of people became paranoid reclusive wrecks, putting plastic over their air conditioner and shit in case a bio attack gets them because they heard some rando on the news talking about it, basically just went hard on the media news consumption and it replaced their whole world with one of criminals and dangers since the news only reports on all the bad stuff that happens.

It's the same with school shootings, definitely a problem, but so many people love to be the main hero in their own lives and imagine they'll be victimized when in reality the pure statistical chances of getting killed in a school shooting are much lower than the chances of getting killed by a car on the way to school. But that's a logical argument and won't sway the mind of someone paranoid about it, they'll simply reject it outright.

Genshin impact is relatively new but I've seen a lot of people who seem to think it's Japanese. Understandable since the art style is a clear anime inspired Moe shit. It's in line with popular trends and more western stuff is also taking that style.

Course blaming it on cultural appropriation is retarded, since anime was originally heavily inspired by Disney.

I always find it hilarious when weebs start complaining about how Japanese people say their favorite anime is Disney. It's really funny. They start telling them that Disney isn't an anime, though they don't realize that when the word was borrowed into English the meaning changed and they are now imposing their meaning on the original language. The irony is thick when they start going on about the cultural appropriation shit.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-13T01:57:47+00:00

Most of the time it's people who have drank the "cultural appropriation" Kool aid and have gone straight to behaving exactly the same way a xenophobe behaves, white people cannot corrupt themselves with the cultures of lesser life forms, except uno-reverse white colonials are wrong to steal the culture of other countries, as if culture is something that can be stolen.

Sure it might be offensive if you dress like a medicine man and make mockery of some kind of sacred ritual or whatever, I can see that, but the kimono shit was funny because it's literally just a historical piece of clothing that people still wear when they want to feel fancy. Go to Japan and there's loads of businesses for kimono dress up, many of which cater to tourists even because tourist money is just as green.

The people whining about it are the same bitchy kids that would get pissed at you for "stealing" their joke or something when you share something you've heard with another. They've got nothing going on for themselves, no talent themselves, beyond their "exotic" asian-nes or whatever, so they feel the need to guilt trip anyone else taking an interest in their special whatever because it makes them feel less unique when white people know what ramen is or can use chopsticks.

It'd a problem with centering your whole Identity on race though. Most people have their own individual personality and their racial or cultural background is not that important to them beyond family ties and tradition and what not. I think what happens is teenagers looking for a "tribe" so to speak start to bond with other people from their same ethnic background which in and of itself is fine, but it can lead to problems when they take it past the point of adulthood so that it becomes their whole identity.

This person is claiming to be Okinawan. Which might be true idk. But it's definitely the one to pick for the oppression Olympics since you can identify as Japanese for the cool factor but also get your colonial overlord association get out of jail free card since the Okinawans did get a bunch of shit from the empire and it's not like the American presence is totally problem free either.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-12T23:54:56+00:00

I'm trying to make sense of the handle myself. Hina is an actual girls name but it's not super common I don't think and it's pretty weeb adjacent because of anime like "love Hina" or whatever. ほむら isn't a name at all and means flames or something like that, a quick Google search seems to bring up yakiniku restaurants and some anime character.

Then Kittychankuniku, kittychan is hello kitty so that's normal. No idea what the fuck kuniku is supposed to be. Searched it in Japanese and it came up as 狗肉 dog meat. Lol.

I'm guessing it's supposed to be 苦肉 which is "Deceiving your enemy by causing your own suffering or that of your ally" Not really sure what is going on.

Her Twitter feed looks like typical Tumblr nonsense she's just got an Okinawa fascination. So I'm guessing it's some kid obsessed with genshin impact and Okinawa who spends entirely too much time online.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-12T23:03:18+00:00

Might be third or fourth generation immigrant, they tend to go hard into this shit sometimes as a way to compensate for the fact that they are for all intents and purposes assimilated fully into "white" culture but don't like the fact the language barrier prevents them from really connecting well with their ancestors culture.

Course it doesn't really matter in the end what race the person making the message is because the message sucks anyway. Beyond that I think it's funny they whine about how only Japanese people can express their opinion on this when it's a Chinese game in the first place. I wonder if they even realize that.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-12T22:52:42+00:00

It's really stupid, this PSA goes along how most of them do "don't ask about AIDS it hurts my fee fees"

Like why the fuck would you care about hurting the feelings of someone who is going to infect you with a pretty serious disease? The real "dick" move is anyone who knows they have HIV going around spreading it to unknowing people.

I'd just fucking ask anyway and if someone gets mad and calls you mean for asking you know for sure they either have HIV or will soon get it because they are retarded.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-10T23:34:52+00:00

Yeah I think it's cringe as fuck, both the heckling and the wedding.

I'd just not attend. I'd not be able to stay silent at the "if anyone has a reason they should not be wed speak now or forever hold your piece" where to start, they are too immature to be married?

Alienhunter · 2023-09-10T21:55:57+00:00

Gonna get rescinded in court since she has no right to do it.

It's a very common move for elected officials though. Make some bullshit policy that accomplishes nothing and will be thrown out by the courts, while simultaneously campaigning on how you did something to solve the problem. The proles will eat that up because they don't understand that ineffectual grandstanding is worse than doing nothing.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-10T21:52:59+00:00

It's just emotional terrorism. Most people won't just say "ok have fun with that" to such threats because they don't want to be painted as an asshole. Also the whole suicide gambit is usually going to turn into a public shaming of the person for not caring enough should they not prostrate themselves sufficiently.

Of course it's a unwinnable game. Anyone pulls that with me I basically tell them go ahead and cut contact. And if they rile up their friends to give me grief about it I'll unceremoniously cut contact with them to. Don't negotiate with terrorists.

"Hate Trans People? Kill yourself"

Lolol. Gotta love when they make some stupid ass sign. Here's mine. "Disagree with me? Kill yourself"

"Don't give me money? Kill yourself"

The irony of these kind of horrible trans activists encouraging their opponents to suicide is not lost on me. You gonna get in a stare down and the first person to off themselves loses? Hate to break it to you but the odds are not on the trans people's side there.

Once you start encouraging suicide you've basically lost the plot and lost any hope of gaining public support.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-07T10:58:14+00:00

I find the pro-choice argument of unlimited bodily autonomy to be a bit rediculous to be honest. I don't think most people would agree that you should allow crazy people to amputate their limbs or kill themselves. Allowing full bodily autonomy means allowing self harm.

Alienhunter · 2023-09-07T10:42:38+00:00

It's not really that shocking. The submarine works fine, until it doesn't. That's the main problem.

It's like how Russian roulette is a perfectly safe game with no negative repurcussions more than 80% of the time!

Leaving aside the eyeroll-worthy dip into genderspecial nonsense,

That's the best part though.

It's not ok for a man to pretend to be a woman. Unless the man is pretending to be a woman. Then it is ok.

There's always been a subset of insane people in basically every movement. Look at early feminist causes like the suffragettes and you'll see the same kind of crazy insane women in those as you'd see in modern feminist movements, though as the goal posts move the crazies slowly are the only ones still pushing for them.

Gay rights, civil rights, don't need to go far into any movement to find the crazy. For every person preaching equal rights you'll likely find another preaching crazy hotep nonsense.

If everyone voted for someone who wasn't one of the third parties?

For example if everyone voted for Alienhunter as a write in candidate, Alienhunter would win, then declare themselves dictator and get rid of voting forever since it is so useless. It is merely an obstacle towards the people's true happiness, which can only be found through involuntary labor schemes building giant monuments to Alienhunter.

I doubt this even happened really.

What we got. Guy is sitting in coffee shop with headphones in listening to music, can't possibly hear conversations all that well, sees two people talking, imagines they are transphobic since that's probably all he thinks about, gets mad. Person apologizes and says he misheard, but he is pissed the person isn't immediately crucifies for the horrid crime of falling out of his favor for no good reason.

Man's a massive cunt.

I think rats and roaches are a common issue in most every big city.

Even the supposedly "wow it's so clean" cities people rave about that aren't New York, you go out at night you'll see all sorts of rats scurrying around.

You don't see them scurrying around so much in the country for one reason, there are owls and shit that will eat them.

I think it's all fine so long as it is kept in spaces for it. I don't really care if a bunch of furries want to get together for whatever weird fetish stuff they want to do so long as everyone there is a consenting adults.

The internet is the most concerning part. There's two sides to the furries. One is the people who just like drawing cartoon animal avatars and the like, that is harmless. Fairly common in children's media for a very long time. Disney does it. Old fairy tales like the three little pigs did it.

Then there are the feticists, maybe they developed it because of the children's media? Hard to say. Regardless the danger is kids with internet access might go looking for their favorite cartoon show and find rule 34 shit. The other danger is of course pedophiles are going to use that as a way to get in contact with their prey.
