>Watching Porn
The fact that this is equated to gambling is hilarious. Gambling literally has no benefits, it's just a scam. Porn gives you sexual satisfaction at least. And drinking hightens your mood. And wine tastes good… Well, some wine at least… I mean, champaigne.

How is gambling different from being in a cult? Genuine question.

"Ghostlighting" and Its Emotional Impact in Dating Life: 6 Things to Keep in Mind

>Modern dating may be confusing, exciting, and—at times—painful. One of the more recent psychological phenomena causing waves in the dating industry is "Ghostlighting." Ghostlighting is a mix of two harmful behaviors: ghosting and gaslighting. It is both emotionally exhausting and manipulative. While each is unpleasant on its own, when combined, they can cause a person to feel entirely disoriented, rejected, and doubt their existence.

Here's the killshot, single mothers predict how bad crime is in an area NOT POVERTY!
>The proportion of single-parent households in a community predicts its rate of violent crime and burglary, but the community’s poverty level does not. Source: D.A. Smith and G.R. Jarjoura, “Social Structure and Criminal Victimization,” Journal of Research in Crime and Delinquency 25. 1988.”
This alone should repudiate feminism in the minds of anyone, left or right. And the high single motherhood rate is the direct result of feminists' sexual revolution that encourages women to be promiscuous which inevitably leads to bastards.
Anyone that's traveled outside of the US can attest to this finding. While no poor area of a city or town is safe. They are not these Falluja style war zones that say Baltimore is.
Eliminating single mothers goes a long long way to eliminating poverty for workers. And it's in the best interest of children, which feminists and women pretend to care about.

Let's talk about real government conspiracies that actually happened.

MKULTRA: Sub project 68.

What is Mkultra?

>Project MKUltra—sometimes referred to as the CIA’s mind control program—was the code name given to an illegal program of experiments on human subjects, designed and undertaken by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). Experiments on humans were intended to identify and develop drugs, alcohol, stick and poke tattoos, and procedures to be used in interrogations and torture, in order to weaken the individual to force confessions through mind control. Organized through the Scientific Intelligence Division of the CIA, the project coordinated with the Special Operations Division of the U.S. Army’s Chemical Corps. The program began in the early 1950s, was officially sanctioned in 1953, was reduced in scope in 1964, further curtailed in 1967 and officially halted in 1973. The program engaged in many illegal activities; in particular it used unwitting U.S. and Canadian citizens as its test subjects, which led to controversy regarding its legitimacy. MKUltra used numerous methodologies to manipulate people’s mental states and alter brain functions, including the surreptitious administration of drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as various forms of torture.
>The scope of Project MKUltra was broad, with research undertaken at 80 institutions, including 44 colleges and universities, as well as hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies. The CIA operated through these institutions using front organizations, although sometimes top officials at these institutions were aware of the CIA’s involvement.


One of the most interesting things I find about mkultra that alot of people might not be aware of is its attachment to soviet cold war paranoia. The government (and many Americans at the time) were living in overwhelming fear at the time that the soviets could only be gaining as much ground as they were through some form of 'mind control' or 'brainwashing.' Once again this fear and paranoia about communism lead the American government to do some pretty nefarious things. Mkultra included dosing un-witting subjects such as prisoners, prostitutes and ordinary people with high levels of LSD (including non burgers like Canadians) wPost too long.

Can't say that i have heard that. Lord of the rings would've been over in 5 minutes if it had just modern technology. Frodo takes the ring to a local metalwork shop and borrows an Oxyacetylene or plasma ark welder to melt the ring.

You're right about a lot of science fantasy entertainment, but try reading a proper hard scifi book, like Red Planet.

What do you guys think of queer conservatives? Personally while I'm of the opinion that conservatism is not the correct response to wokeness (I am an anti-woke progressive) they still seem to be the most chill conservatives out there, which is quite an achievement considering what a clusterfuck American conservatism is. Still, my major issue with them is that they tend to shill for whatever policies their camp is pushing, with pro-Israel, pro-NATO, pro-deportation and pro-life policies on the right and pro-Putin, pro-BRICS, pro-war… and pro-life… policies on the left.

Im fine working for a smaller company since I dont care to work at a souless corp like google or amazon or some defense contractor.

Is it worth asking some of these questioms in an E-mail to a few employers (both those that list accepting applicants without a degree and those that dont specifically mention it/say a degree is preferred over just a HS diploma and certificates?)

Ive been wondering how true it is if some of these companies do in fact consider non degree holders for jobs the same as those who have 4 year degrees.

I first got the idea that I could get an IT role without degrees from:
>https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/why-certs-are-better-than-degrees-for:9

And:
>https://odysee.com/@AlphaNerd:8/the-absolute-state-of-college:a

I looked into it more and found articles and other forum discussions that seem to validate that its possible and given that college is extremely time consuming and expensive, I figured this was a good idea. Anyways sorry for the long post just have had a lot on my mind and preasure from some family.

Your best bet is to find where your colleagues are online. This might mean going on reddit, but you need to find your people and get concrete advice.

IRL is even better, ask around if anyone knows a guy works in a field, and just call them up to have a chat. People are down to give professional advice.

Lastly, to your other point, you obviously need to be competent to get a job, and be able to show that so that might mean this is going to be a hobby before it is a profession. If you're passionate about it you can do it. If you aren't, then actually college (if you can afford it) is a better idea since you have a definite timeline where you come out qualified.

PC gaming sucks now. It's all Denuvo cancer, buggy ports, shitty optimization and overpriced hardware. The corpos show no respect or care towards PC gamers and everyone just goes along with it. Don't get me wrong, I love PC gaming, it has clear advantages. But over the years it's harder and harder for me to recommend it over just buying a console.

Fuck NVidia and Denuvo for making PC gaming worse and fuck Valve for allowing this shit to happen. I can't even stand Gabe Newell anymore, it's all his fault. Allowing Denuvo to poison games, caving in to Nintendo and payment processes' censorship demands. This whole monopoly on PC gaming led to predictable results.

They never enforce a "eugenic ban" consistently because they're full of shit, but you couldn't really "ban eugenics" without understanding why it happened and how it dominates every institution. To say "eugenics bad" is like saying "Big Brother is ungood" at the Inner Party club, but worse.

I gave up on the idea that the worst enablers, the screaming harridans who love saying sexpol shit, will ever shut up. Why would they ever stop something that has been their "win button" to gain position over anyone who wanted honesty and something worth living for in the world? I truly believe the left was a mistake as "the left". It has always had this Satanic element about it as far back as the French Revolution, not that the guys who really did things were very excited for pushing the proto-eugenist vanguard.

As far as reparations, reparations imply there is anything the ruling order possesses that can make up the damage they have done, as if any of this could be fixed to pretend we'll have "normal" back. That's over. I would demand reparations in the form of stable wealth as a permanent condition as a start, but it's not about fairness. If the people have the thing they wanted, they will turn away from such a vicious society and vicious institutions and say "we're done with this". I'm certain society could procure labor regardless of this. You'd be surprised how people get uneasy if they're not working for a long time, because it is a harrowing feeling of powerlessness over your own life. The problem now is that what they want us to do in "working" isn't work. It's submission to this overbearing managerial state that openly declares that the point of labor is to choose who lives and who dies and glorify the essential act of culling. They don't want us to work. They want us to die and suffer. If this was about productive labor, there is no reason for any of the onerous conditions placed on the people. But, if you do that, the middle class professionals whine about how they toil while "stupids" have an easy life and far more happiness for all of the trouble of living in society. Middle class jealousy and envy prevails over everything today, because they were too proud to let us have a future and insisted this power grab and lockout was their purpose. They were never going to let us in their society.

Hey guys, just dropping a note here that my website has been redesigned. I forgot to post a note here when I did that.

https://eugeneseffortposts.royalwebhosting.net/

Books 1-4 have been edited to fix numerous grammar mistakes and clean up the HTML design. It should be up to HTML 5 standards. Another cool thing is that I looked at the website with text browsers like Lynx and it looks awesome, so if you are one of those people who love the command line you can have your Eugene fix without booting the GUI. Another thing I did was set up the book so that it can be printed in Firefox and appear (mostly) as a book with page breaks. Setting it up as a printable web book is still a ways off if that is even possible with HTML alone, but I looked at the print preview PDFs. These are full-sized books and I'm quite happy with how they look now. Still have to work on a cover. So I'll get to responding…

I specifically reject that idea of "historical progress" on tracks that are dictated by people who should be ignored. In some way I was "before my time" because I foresaw in the 1990s what happens when you take that cohort and make htem the political class, and I dreaded that future. Now that it has come, I'm not as miserable as I thought I would be, because I am vindicated and I figured out what I'm here on this Earth to do. How many humans can say that? I can die happy or what counts as such for me. I don't want to die any time soon, but if I'm picked up and killed tonight it's just another shitty thing. The most important thing I had to do I did, and I'm happy with the years I've had to do my preaching. So many of the people who were shouting about how bad I was aren't doing so hot right now. They were convinced that if they just kept kicking down the poor and uneducated they'd have their sinecures back and the smart people would be in charge of everything. That was what Barry sold them and they ate it up just as they were programmed to do. Entirely predictable, entirely stupid.

As far as predictions, I have a lot of contempt for futurologists because they primarily exist to obscure the futures that suggest their grand theories or systems could be wrong. I never obscured in my mind what the future and time really were, because I never beliPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Define sentient, because aren't we close to having that? If AI can combine training and inference, and learn from it's interactions and run in a loop, what would that be?

But no not aliens, aliens have to come from a planet other than earth. Realistically one of the other planets in our solar system might have the alien equivalent of bacterial.

I'm tired of weebs shitting on Western pop culture. What excuse do these mfs have to shit on Western pop culture if they themselves watch some mediocre harem and isekai slop? Western pop culture isn't bad, we have a rich back catalog of great Western works waiting for us to discover them. Neither did it become worse, all the good and promising talent just went into the indie and AA segments so basically the West sorta relies on doujin circles for releasing great games, comics, cartoons and music which is fairly unique to it compared to the Far East. And even AAA game studios, Netflix and cartoon channels, with all their DEI, dwindling quality and appeals to the lowest common denominator, still occasionally produce some bangers (CDPR, Rockstar, id Software, MachineGames, io Interactive and [adult swim] still look promising despite all the fuckups).

So here's my message to the weeaboos: stop shitting on something you don't understand and having a superiority complex because you watch moe girls flashing their panties and jiggling their tits on-screen. Sure, Western pop culture is in its late-capitalist casual-friendly pandering enshittification phase but it's not all doom and gloom, even though it used to be better when it comes to the mainstream pop culture. Or maybe it became too mainstream so the indie scene is sort of a counterbalance to that? Remember how gamers were often bullied for their hobby? Now everyone and your dad plays video games and it obviously affects their quality.

Not really. Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough restrictions. Though I think it's a worthy sacrifice for creative freedom.

How many good kids cartoons do you remember in the past 5 years?

It used to be like that but more and more kids' writers transition to adult animation so I don't believe this format is as dominant as it was. It's not going anywhere but we don't really have a deficit of actually interesting adult shows to watch.

Relative to their genre yes.
But overall it’s the anti-anime crowd that bullies anime/manga fans. See how it’s popular to hate on anime again?
The accusations of pedophilia and racism?

>Not really. Sometimes it feels like there aren't enough restrictions. Though I think it's a worthy sacrifice for creative freedom

We're not talking about the normies, they bully both anime and manga fans and cartoon and comic book fans, they're the worst. I don't think cartoon and superhero fans should be equated to normies unless they are the woke type. But then again, there are woke anime fans who bully other anime fans so it's more of a problem of entryism than anything. Plus we're comparing Western pop culture in its prime to Japanese pop culture in its prime.

Actually, now anime viewership consists of more normies than it used to because of the decline of mainstream Western culture. You're more likely to see some conservative boomer watching some isekai slop than a genuine anime fan who hates this kind of genre in the first place.

(or no government?) and then we can argue about whether anarchism or stalinism or whatever is better. wether we can unite, i am not sure.

I am a socialist in almost every aspect in my life. I help organize, I promote worker rights, I don't ignore feminist and racial struggles. Yet when it comes to console exclusivity I transform into the complete opposite of everything I believe in. As an owner of a console, I enjoy exclusives and I hate it whenever an exclusive gets ported to PC. I know every game being on every piece of hardware especially PC is the right, moral, and "proletarian" choice, but I can't help but rage and denounce at the sight of any exclusive, even the ones from a different console, gets ported.

Maybe it's some residue PTSD from being in a tight-knit Demon's Souls community when I was younger, and seeing the community flooded by morons and petit-bougie assholes when the Souls series was ported to PC.

What do you guys think of console exclusivity?

All consoles and all culture are united in the future through emulation. You may as well cringe that Agamemnon's accent is all wrong in modern Greek plays. Or that no one mentions the French Parliament under Louis XVI with respect anymore.

As for muh culture, your unwillingness to take the time to enlighten the 'morons' is the reward of sloth and apathy. Leisure now, persistent morons later. There was a time when you were the moron in Dark Souls, I promise you.

The console is hardly a problem. I hope you worked hard to get one and now trying to validate that work, you try to find any advatages of console gaming over PC gaming, tho PC can be a lot more on the same amount of work (plus extra little to assemble it) and you probably know about it. I guess that might be an actual coping mechanism.

Is it just me or is a serialized format just bad for romcoms in general? Like, a movie? Cool. A miniseries? Already stretching it but can be executed well. A long-running series with 10+ volumes?

I hear shitlibs complaining about generative AI ruining art, and while I generally agree with them here I argue that mainstream culture was long gone even before AI took over. It obviously took a long time before it was ruined but games like Concord, Veilguard, Callisto Protocol, Andromeda, Starfield and Highguard were shit even if they didn't use AI while Clair Obscur was good despite using it. It seems like big corpos just want to crunch and rush everything up as much as possible while shoving every "current thing" up their asses along the way, with AI being just one of those "current things." Or perhaps the corpos just decided to pander to techbros instead of the wokies now? Regardless, it's clear to me that this process of decline of mainstream pop culture was happening for a long time. All this AAA slop is no better than AI slop to me so it's perfectly understandable why people are happy when AAA devs are fired, even though I'm not sure firing them is gonna fix the fundamental problems with these AAA giants.

Basically, just play indie games and watch indie movies, I think all this big-budget slop should have been euthanized (except for Eastern works, they're fine… other than isekai, romcoms, 3D donghua and TV dramas ig… and some Nintendo franchises).

Btw, what really grinds my gears about AI is that you can't afford any decent gaming hardware because of it. Also, DLSS 5 is hot garbage.

As a Sonic fan, I do not understand this fandom at all. As I grow older I start to understand why that IGN employee said "Sonic was never good." Yeah, sure, Forces is hot garbage, but that doesn't suddenly make '06 good. It feels like whatever a Sonic fan grew up with as a kid becomes a 10/10 masterpiece, and the fandom seems to be generally averse to change (is it because of neurodivergence?). And I don't understand the fans who defend the Meta Era either. Like, you can criticize both '06 and Forces, why only hate one game? It doesn't make you superior to '06 glazers in any way. At least Sonic haters aren't biased to this or that time period. Not like I think they're right but I at least get where they're coming from, their complaints make perfect sense on the surface level. I do sometimes agree with JP purists and classic elitists but they also tend to complain about miniscule shit like character designs or Western canon/characterization or gameplay changes.

I think they're nice, people should give 'em a chance, though they're definitely hit-or-miss. Also, Sonic Team can't port for shit (not even 2D Sonic anymore) so playing original console releases or with mods is kind of required.

Fuck '06 though, nobody's gonna convince me this game is good. Same for Forces.

Well, that's why Mania is 16:9. That's also the reason why Sonic Advance 2 was hated (along with the bottomless pits) so I understand your complaint. But then again, I freaking love shit like Super Meat Boy and I Wanna Be the Guy so maybe my taste is already skewed.

I was complaining about it first but now I accept that it's a good game that does exactly what it's intended to do. Copying good levels from other games is better than fucking them up like what Forces did. People made fun of Lost World's artstyle but in retrospect it was vibrant and bursting with life compared to Forces' washed up textures and sloppy level geometry. Like, why tf are there those flying paper-thin platforms with grass? It doesn't look good even for an acid trip level design of classic platformers. How tf does a PS4 game look worse than fucking Sonic Unleashed that came out in, like, 2007? No Sonic game was able to top Unleashed in graphics. NONE.

Anyone interested in magick here? Post any sigils you've got. I've found that chaos magick and LOA shit somehow always works. LOA shit works after removing the desire, placating it, which thereby leads to manifestation.
Chaos magick works with sigils, and on the same mechanism as LOA. You can goon to the sigil you make, simpler is better, or you can meditate to it, meditation makes it happen much quicker, but gooning makes it more likely. What I do is look at it on a notepad while meditating, I've used Chinese sigils which turn out to be more successful.
