I remember making 40k with a wife and two babies and having nothing left at the end of the month after rent and groceries, and I think about it still every day. If you’re struggling to make ends meet and keep your family fed with a roof over their heads, that struggle is simply the most pressing and urgent matter in your life and nothing else really comes close. This is something that many Republican politicians and conservative “thought leaders” still do not understand and maybe never will.
I had some good years in my 30's, reinvested money, built out businesses, and then cancel culture hit. (People have no idea what it was like on the back end, you couldn't even get payment processing.) I was living off of credit cards and trying to find a way to pull a rabbit from a hat. All I could do was run the math of when I'd have to tell my wife and kids we officially had nothing. Meanwhile you don't say these things because you want your kids to have a normal childhood, you don't want to stress out your wife, and you can hide a lot of financial troubles from them, but I look back and my face is beet red and swollen. I still exercised hard but you can't escape the cortisol bomb of obsessing over whether this is the month you're wiped out. That's what people are going through now. We are all the Red Baron pizza man and nobody next to Trump gives a shit. Trump 47 is all a get rich quick scheme for them as they take foreign trips, sell pardons, and do God knows what else. I have no remaining patience for the neocons, chickenhawks, World Liberty Financial, buying private islands, and taking money from Gulf country for your "investment fund." All of these people are repulsive, which in politics doesn't matter if they can deliver wins for the great good of the country. Now we see - they can't even do that.
Stupid people don’t know they are being forced into a dialectic designed to lead them into certain foreign policy choices. Hence why you’re allowed to say “Islam is not compatible with the West,” yet not allowed to oppose third world mass migration.
The net result of mass immigration is that various diasporas demand that my country fight in wars for their homelands. This is why it’s time to shut it down. If you are American, then THIS is your home. Not some faraway land.
Every 9/11 I find myself finding out something I didn’t know. As we draw close to the 25th Anniversary, I came across some recording of first responders from inside both Trade Centers. Not only did they believe that they could and would reach those trapped
I eat $2 homemade chicken and rice meals because they make me jacked and tan which I greatly enjoy.
but the idea that this will get you to house down payment or retirement like it did in boomer times is adorably naive.
it will get you to some business startup money and THAT will get you off to the races if you pass the shit test of it blowing up several times before something works.
The beginning of this whole journey for me was pulling out a spreadsheet and realizing I don't need to make 20-30% more, I needed to make several orders of magnitude more money which seemed impossible at the time.
I decided to try anyway. You only live once. I'd go down swinging if I have to. Can't lose if you don't have anything.
Most people do not think like this so they decide to doordash the $30 burrito because they hate their parents and choose to end the family bloodline
One of the first effects of eliminating the language barrier will be the dawning realization that the common problem really is a numerically small political elite who use monopolization of international contact to arrange global affairs in their own narrow interests, which frequently diverge from the interests of the countries they nominally represent.
The Sun is 400x larger than the Moon + 400x further away (same size).
Your brain has 100 trillion synapses.
If the cosmological constant was altered by 1 part in 10⁵⁰ (1 with 50 zeros) no atoms could form.
DNA copies with an error rate of 1 in a billion.
Water expands when it freezes (no other major molecule does that), if ice didn’t float, all ecosystems would die.
Electrons and protons have a perfectly balanced charge;
If they differed by even 1 in 10³⁷, matter would either explode or collapse instantly.
Maxwells equations, Euler’s identity, and the standard model (math that explains the universe) is aesthetic;
Symmetrical, elegant, and shockingly minimal (planets orbit in a perfect mathematical ellipsis).
Hemoglobin binds oxygen just enough to hold it, and just weakly enough to release it, if either was off by 0.0000007, humans would suffocate instantly.
Earths tilt is 23.5 degrees (any different and life on earth would be unsustainable).
Still, no one can explain why consciousness exists. The fact that atoms (lifeless particles) somehow generate a subjective “observer perspective” defies all known physics.
Matter woke up.
The probability of consciousness arising from pure randomness is mathematically undefined (impossible).
After reading all of this;
You get one conclusion…
The universe isn’t random;
Its engineered…
Acknowledge God today and give thanks.
This demon broke into a house and stabbed a child to death ten years ago, and as of today he is walking free. This cannot be allowed to continue. Arrest the judge who let him free. Arrest the judge who allowed him to be found “not guilty” of murder by reason of “insanity.” People will say that Trump doesn’t have the authority. It doesn’t matter. Do it anyway. It’s worth having a “constitutional crisis” over this. We simply cannot have these judges releasing murderous animals onto the public. People are dying. It has to stop. Do what needs to be done to stop it.
It’s really telling that the media class is far more upset about Jimmy Kimmel losing a job then Charlie getting murdered. These people are completely disconnected from reality and view themselves as untouchable
🚨BREAKING: Stephen Miller, a senior Trump Advisor, is trying to exclude illegal aliens from the U.S. census, which removes House seats from Blue states like California, New York etc.
Do you support excluding illegals from the U.S. census?
1. Hell Yes
2. No
Crazy how I was banned on social media for being right about the covid vaccine, but openly advocating for the murder of elected American officials will make you best friends with the twitch CEO.
It’s almost like they want you dead.
