There is a lot of back-and-forth about what jokes are and what people really mean and what they really believe in their heart of hearts, but let’s just imagine for example that everybody joking about George Floyd was totally OK with it and wants more of it to happen and everybody joking about Charlie Kirk is totally OK with it and wants more of it to happen.
Ok, fine.
In the Floyd case, what you’re saying is that it’s OK if we use harsh policing tactics on serial, lifetime criminal drug addicts, even if this sometimes results in their injury or death.
In the Kirk case, you’re saying that we should shoot political commentators in the neck when we disagree with them.

As a man you have unlimited potential. Every action that grounds you, eats a part of that potential.
When you settle, marry, buy a house, and start living a comfortable life and even have hobbies, you kill the potential entirely.
Now, you don't have to level up and swim through the chaos of life to achieve success. You can just renovate something, buy a new sofa, play with children, and do your safe duties at home.
Also, owning a house binds you geographically and mentally.
A man should strive to progress and do business instead. This will help him to level up and achieve his potential, ultimately bringing success and fulfillment.

No wonder California housing costs won't go down.
CA voters rejected permitting reform (to build market-rate housing at scale) but passed $11B in subsidies for a few "affordable" units that are 3x more expensive to build—and are a giveaway to politically-connected developers.
California voters have rejected Proposition 45, which would have made housing easier to develop. After raising most taxes on themselves (but not billionaires) and keeping housing impossible to build, in an election about "affordability," one has to wonder. kcra.com/article/california-…

This is a golden era for pussies. If you’re afraid of physical confrontation, then there’s never been a better time for somebody to try to break into your house or steal your car. You can just hide and whimper into the phone that you need help and more people than at any other time in history will tell you that you were brave and did the right thing.

Tesla is discontinuing its only safe vehicle.
I wouldn’t be caught dead in a Y or YL or any other Tesla sedan.
The risk on the road is not that I’m going to run off the road or hit somebody.
It’s that a texting driver of a full size truck of SUV hits me in my driver side door and their bumper hits my or my family members face.
Physics rules the road.
Weight + height = more likely to survive a multi car accident.
Crash test ratings are a scam.

If you work at a white collar job, you stare at screens during the workday. And since there is down time at work, you look at social media for fun. It helps the time go by. You can't walk away from your desk without losing your livelihood.
People who are independently wealthy like Bryan Johnson don't get it. They don't work a job. They don't have to stare at a screen if they don't want to. They can meditate in a room all day. So they criticize social media. They call it a poison.
It's not a poison. It's something to do at work before you go home.

What normies think of as “carbs” is actually starch which is an inferior means consuming carbohydrates for multiple reasons. First of all the insulin response for starches is much more intense making them more likely to be stored. They have done autopsies of mice soon after they were fed cornstarch in an experiment and there was none found in their stomach. It was immediately turned into fat.
Secondly small starch granules can make it into the bloodstream in a process called persorption and choke out capillaries and kill them. It’s always good to pair them with some kind of saturated fat like butter to stop this. The safest carbohydrate source is sugar like the kind found in fruit

He's moved 1 small step along the path to enlightenment
Next is realizing the regular personality is also a habituated illusory character
And next after that is recognizing there is no persistent sense of self anywhere in experience, and therefore nothing to reject or defend

70% of this rant was good but I have to strongly disagree with this take floating around all week that CT is dead. CT is not dead or dying
1) CT is the information hub of crypto industry. It’s the MarketWatch, the CNBC and WSJ, wallstreetbets and town square of the industry. There is no alternative, and that makes it not comparable to fintwit
2) There have always been alternative platforms for social trading in crypto: Telegram last cycle, Discord cycle before that. None of them meant the death of CT (not tg’s arguement but this was the argument of a lot of takes on this)
3) Currently social trading apps are the strongest they’ve ever been but this is a recent meta, and importantly, almost everyone with influence is being paid to post and trade there. We’ve seen this many times before, never this successful for sure, but also never killed CT. Callout rewards have existed for less than 3 months
4) Surprised more people haven’t talked about this, but the one company who could be competitive with crypto social trading apps on day 1, and possibly even pull the rug out of under them on market share, is X itself. If X decided to compete in crypto social trading, I think the crypto-native apps likely survive, possibly pivot to more data and crypto-native experience like current terminals. I find this possibility of X competing in the future more likely than CT dying
5) If CT does die and social crypto moves to these social trading platforms, the onchain industry will permanently shrink and become more niche. I do not expect this to happen and it hasn’t been the trend
6) In 2018 there were 50-100 big accounts left on CT, in 2023 we had months where basically nobody was here besides the true believer die hards. This current bear market has genuinely an order of magnitude more people sticking around. CT is more active than it’s ever been with comparable market conditions. And when people want to discuss high level ideas and metas, even non-CT native Fortnite kids, then come to X to discuss them. People who never tweeted during the bull run are now reply guying on X
7) Sure every American knows about crypto, but you go and talk to people and barely anyone understands it, most hate it or think it’s worthless with no value to the tech. This technology is not going away like some trendy brand. There is fundamental value, tokenization is happening, the global markets are embracing stablecoins and blockchains. Many people will never understand crypto tech, but the bulk of the functional adoption curve (people using the tech regardless of if they know they are) is still ahead. Crypto x AI implications and importance are still in their infancy of exploration and discovery. AI will never use cash, and will prefer open blockchains to walled institutions
8) Possibly we never see the celebrity engagement in onchain markets we’ve seen in past cycle, but if anything that would be a sign of maturity. IMO the entire concept of celebrities and the culture of celebrity worship is plummeting. Not to zero, but I think we’re entering an era where culture and fame is fragmented, and nobody gives a fuck if you’re famous
Have thoughts about the geeks, MOPs, sociopaths topic for another post. Mostly agree with that part, if anything I think it’s even worse than described, but optimistic how things play out long term
CT is not dead. Crypto is not dead. Crypto is never cool during bear markets but the tech makes the coolest markets of the future most likely to be on, if not only possible on, public blockchains

Never seen a video so perfectly encapsulate democracy. A high IQ White guy “debating” this retarded monkey and its made up grievances when the monkey doesn’t even understand math and the White woman regulator can’t even do math either.

Female teachers - who run primary education - systematically discriminate against boys:
• They grade boys lower for identical work
• Normal male energy is pathologized as “ADHD” or “disruption”
• Compliance, neatness, and verbal deference is rewarded over drive, reason and activity
The data is consistent across countries.
Classrooms are poison for boys.
Did this happen to you?

Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko announced today that a minor has been charged with three felony counts in juvenile court for the near-fatal shooting at Five Guys in Oxnard where an innocent bystander was wounded. The 17-year-old is charged with shooting at an occupied building, assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and buying or receiving a firearm against a court order. The teenager also faces two special allegations for intentionally discharging a firearm causing great bodily injury and personally using a firearm. He was arraigned in juvenile court and denied all charges.
The minor was 16 years old at the time of the alleged offense. Prosecutors filed a motion to transfer this case from the juvenile court to the adult court.

The idea that you “can’t legislate morality” is silly goose nonsense. That’s literally what politics is. America once had strict obscenity laws, and sodomy remained criminalized in some states up until 2003. The problem isn’t a lack of ability, it’s a lack of political will.

You should be using a shot timer when you go to the range, and in your dry fire at home.
"I can't use a shot timer at the range, it picks up everyone else's shots".
"I can't use a shot timer in dry fire, it's not sensitive enough".
You use the par time feature.
Place a 3x5 card at 5 yards in your home. Verify pistol is unloaded. Set your shot timer for a 2-3 second delay and a 1 second par time. What this means is that the timer will wait somewhere between 2-3 seconds after you press the start button for the first beep, and then 1 second will transpire before the 2nd beep. Start at the ready position of your choice.
Practice this for 5 minutes a day. Don't do stuff at the range you haven't practiced in dry fire in the days/weeks leading up to your range visit. Think of your dry fire at home as your actual practice, and the time at the range as the confirmation of your practice.
Now you're at the range. Repeat what you've been doing at home in dry fire. Fire 1 round, 5 times at the 3x5 card. If you impact your target 4 or more times within 1 second at 5 yards, advance to 7 yards or decrease par time by .1 second. Don't keep doing drills at a time and distance you can already do.
Enjoy.
