@Martposting "The Faustian soul -whose being consists in the overcoming of presence, whose feeling is loneliness and whose yearning is infinity- puts its need of solitude, distance and abstraction into all its actualities, into its public life, its spiritual and artistic form-worlds alike".
@Seanfrank I became a father in my late 30's so I know both sides. Once you have kids there's no such thing as "time off", and even if sometimes I miss having a day by myself I wouldn't go back to the childless life. Parenting is the most life fulfilling experience of all. Unmatched.
@eugyppius1 I think there's ground to find a link between Marinetti's Manifesto of Futurism and what they now call "Dark Enlightenment". There's no happy endings in that path.
@eugyppius1 Whenever the Left goes into revolutionary fever 2 things happen on the Right. A Conservative Reaction (non problematic). But then also a group who wants to fight and overpass the Left as a vanguard by accelerationism, with a strong cult for technics, aesthetics and force.
@dir@cosmorxn I believe the super infrastructure development has been detrimental for talent. When kids go early into the development system instead of honing their skills on the streets something gets lost on the way (magic, flair, the unexpected).
@kunley_drukpa Very interesting scenario. Basically swapping the grooming gangs for extortion rings and muslim prayers for non-stop reggaeton. Not ideal, but perfect is the enemy of good.
@denisyurchak If you ever visited Amsterdam before the 2010's you would realize this was the right move. Amsterdam is a gorgeous city but was infested with cheap filthy tourism that depreciated its value. Now it aims for the quality it deserves. If you can't afford it, good for AMS.
@binyaameengori@PaulSkallas This is spot on. When everyone has the same photo at the same place doing the same gesture is no longer a status experience but a sign of very low IQ. Absolute devaluation.
@eugyppius1 Same as in France. Some think-tanks blame the mismanagement on the Euro, as it stimulated total irresponsibility, turning politicians into kids with the money-printing machine. As the pension weight grows due demog and the deficit looks grim, their only answer is more taxes.
@IterIntellectus I have 3 girls and a boy. Totally different experience. Instinctively I'm tougher with the boy (I also play with him more physical games that I don't with the girls). My duty is to prepare and toughen him for an unforgiving world, but I don't get the same reflex with the girls.
@kunley_drukpa In Sao Paulo you will end up meeting some girl named like Adriana Kawaski, who's half Japanese half Lebanese but with brazilian attitude and flair.
20 years will pass and you'll still remember that night after an argument with your wife.
@KILLTOPARTY I had a gf like that in my 20's. Dumb as fuck but hot, kind and sweet.
Lasted 4 years mostly because sex was insane, but as I was reaching my 30's I really felt the need for some intellect-peer connection and pussy diversity so that was it.
@Babygravy9 I seriously think that the only way Ukraine will be able to repay the loans and arms supplies from Europe after the war will be to take all the migroids to "repopulate" the country and "revitalize" the economy. A sad turn of events but nothing is for free in this world.
