EU Parliament Vote On Chat Control

[Martin Sellner @MartinSellner_]

Ich kann schon wieder Miete, Strom, Telefonkosten etc. nicht zahlen.

Der Grund dafür ist nicht, dass mir das Geld fehlt. Mein Grund- und Basis-Konto lehnt Überweisungen ab. Ich streite eine Woche mit meinen Sachwaltern.
Der Grund?

So lief es bisher: Direktüberweisungen, sei es zum Beispiel vom @Verlag_Antaios oder Digistore24, erlaubte meine Bank sowieso nicht.

Sie mussten erst über ein anderes Konto laufen und dann, mit doppelten Belegen, jeweils mit vorangemeldeter E-Mail, erbarmte man sich und erlaubte mir eine Überweisung auf mein Grund- und Basiskonto.

Dazu verwendete ich bisher das Qonto-Konto. Das wird mir jetzt zum 2. August gekündigt, und Digistore hat mich bereits im Mai gekickt. Die Überweisungen von Subscribestar auf das Qonto-Konto genügen aber den gestrengen Sachwaltern bei meinem Grund- und Basiskonto nicht. Auf E-Mail-Belegen, Screenshots und Auszügen sind offenbar nicht genug Informationen vorhanden.

Deshalb weigern Sie sich, seit Wochen Geld auf das Konto zu überweisen.

Der Grund, warum ich diese SEPA-Lastschriften nicht auf andere Konten einrichte, liegt auch auf der Hand.
Sie werden mir, wie zum Beispiel das Qonto-Konto, jederzeit gekündigt.

Das Ganze ist einfach unglaublich mühsam und langsam. Vermieter, Energielieferanten etc. verlieren auch die Geduld, weil ständig Zahlungen ausbleiben.

Gleichzeitig weigert sich die Sparkasse in Deutschland, meinem Unternehmen ein Konto zu geben. In Österreich geht ein Verfahren auf Gewährung eines Geschäftskontos in die dritte Instanz, und zur Gründung eines Unternehmens musste ich unlängst lange nach einem Notar suchen, der ausnahmsweise erlaubte, die Einlage auf sein Treuhandkonto einzuzahlen.

Ich poste das einfach hin und wieder, um euch zu zeigen, wie viel völlig sinnlose, unsichtbare Arbeit diese Form der Repression einem Dissidenten wie mir auferlegt.

Bitte nehmt euer stabiles Bankkonto und die unglaubliche finanzielle Freiheit, die ihr habt, wenn ihr dazu auch noch Dienste wie PayPal nutzen könnt, nicht für selbstverständlich.

Wenn Ihr für das System unangenehm werdet, wie @COMPACTMagazin @AUF1TV oder ich, dann passiert genau das:

The EU Parliament REJECTED Chat Control, but now they are forcing us to vote it AGAIN to revive it. What kind of democracy is this if we're forced to vote on the same issue over and over until they get the result they want?

My colleague @MarketkaG explained the situation very well in plenary👇🏻

[Leila Hormozi @LeilaHormozi]

A lot of women reach out to me asking how I'm going to "do it all" now that I'm having a baby.

My honest answer: I'm not.

I wanted to write this because so many moms tell me they feel like they're failing because they don't have it all at once and it really breaks my heart.

The last twelve years of my life went into building my business and building myself into the leader I am. I'm proud of that. I don't expect myself to put in the same effort over the next ten. Could I? Sure - I could hire every nanny and every service money can buy and keep running at the same pace. I just don't WANT to.

I really want to actually raise my kids and build a family, so I will be making a tradeoff.

It is a fact, not opinion, that you can’t have it all at the same time.

Why: MATH. Depth takes time, and time is finite.

At some point we all have to decide - of the things that matter to me - WHICH MATTERS MORE…NOW.

And then we make a trade.

When you have finite resources, you need to decide where you allocate them against unlimited options. Determining that something is important, but less important TO ME, RIGHT NOW, is not setting. It’s making a decision based on priorities.

Everyone has the ability to make these choices, they're just hard because you feel like you're telling yourself, and everyone who looks at you, that something is not important because you're not prioritizing it. That’s untrue. You’re just saying it's not AS important TO ME, RIGHT NOW.

We work so hard to create optionality in our lives. But having optionality - in and of itself - is not valuable.

Options are only valuable when exercised. And when you exercise those options, you need to walk through one door, which by definition (sometimes), means you cannot walk through another.

We make a commitment by eliminating options. And all the best parts of life sit on the other side of eliminating options and going all in.

When you get married, you eliminate the option of other partners.
When you have kids, you eliminate the option of not having kids.
When you buy a house on the beach, you eliminate the option of having a house on a mountaintop. It doesn't mean you don’t like mountain tops. You just decided that this was more important to you now.

Some decisions are reversible. Others aren't.

To me, right now, I want to have a child and I want to be a present mother. It’s not the choice that everyone will make, or should make - do whatever you want. This is the choice that I’m making. For me. Right now.

And I want every woman who reaches out to me asking what I'm going to know. Because I think the willingness to make a trade prevents you from settling. Because without making a conscious choice, a trade off will be made no matter what - but it won't be based on what we deemed most important, but by what the world around us deemed most convenient. And that might not be what we want most.

This has been pulling on me for some time now and I didn't get a chance to sit down and write it.

TLDR: I will not have it all. I will have what I want most at that time. And that’s perfectly fine with me. I hope you do the same - whatever that is for you.

Smart people + ideology is a terrifying cocktail.

“When intelligent people affiliate themselves to ideology, their intellect ceases to guard against wishful thinking, and instead begins to fortify it, causing them to inadvertently mastermind their own delusion, and to very cleverly become stupid.” — @G_S_Bhogal

I’m going to answer this claim that “X is turning into TikTok” one time only:

• Posts containing videos already make up close to half the impressions on X

• Many videos from top accounts are simply stolen from other users, sometimes 5 years after they originally went viral.

• Our team believes this recycled content has a negative impact on the user experience and the business.

• For the first time, we are providing a functional video editor so some videos on X can finally be original content that doesn’t exist on other platforms

If you are a creator that does not recycle other people’s content, you have the biggest arbitrage opportunity of your career to build an audience here.

The algorithm may take time to recognize you, but when it does, you will climb faster than other account on this app.

Men and women are treated differently in court.

"Research consistently shows that men are treated more harshly than women in the criminal justice system: They receive longer sentences for the same crime, even taking into account factors such as criminal history, type of offence, seriousness of offence, marital status, and childcare responsibilities.

Interestingly, male judges are more likely than female ones to go easy on female defendants." — @SteveStuWill via @robkhenderson

My activities are still very limited at the moment. I have been doing some writing, however–thank God.

I'm so relieved to be once again doing something creative and useful.

I have also been watching Professor Paul Kengor's The Dark Side of Marxism from @petersonacademy.  

It does not feature the Marx portrayed by the woke university socialist acolytes (to put it mildly).

I interviewed @DrPaulKengor a year ago or so ago on my podcast. He's a truly engaging, creative and witty storyteller and lecturer.

It turns out that Old Karl was quite the satanic soul.

He was a parasite economically all his life, extorting continual support from his long-suffering relatives.

He wrote (and admired) purposefully demonic poetry and drama.

Most disturbing, however, was his choice of favorite quote. From Goethe's Faust, it's a line I have quoted many times, in consequence of its sheer existential horror.

It's Mephistopheles presenting his identity and central credo:

“I am the Spirit that endlessly denies!
And rightly, too; for all that comes to birth
Is fit for overthrow, as nothing worth;
Wherefore the world were better sterilized;
Thus all that's here as Evil recognized
Is gain to me, and downfall, ruin, sin.
The very element I prosper in.”

I wonder if Zohran Mamdani @NYCMayor knows of the inclination of his apparent intellectual hero?

Muslims cry about Western colonialism and genocide, then scream that Islam will dominate the world and gloat about White Genocide in the next sentence.

They deserve ZERO sympathy. I’m done.

Five minutes on @X and you see one story after another of Europeans being killed, raped or assaulted.

If it weren’t for @elonmusk we would never hear about these stories.

The truth, along with the victims of mass migration, would just be buried.

🇬🇧 UK Government to legally take over the YouTube algorithm.

They will force the platform to promote “approved” content and hide critics of the regime.

Pure dictatorship in disguise.

This is an attack on free speech.

Stop it before it’s too late.

To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson

Die schwedische Polizei bestätigt offiziell, dass ihr Kollege Christian Zedif in der WM-Fanzone in Kopenhagen zu Tode geprügelt wurde. Er war Vater von zwei kleinen Mädchen.

Der afrikanische Migrant, der ihn angegriffen hat, ist Wiederholungstäter.

Remigration jetzt!

One of the core basic mistakes most single guys make:

They’re not meeting enough women in person, in real life

They don’t have a robust & reliable dating funnel to practice and improve

With few opportunities to meet women, their self confidence starts to wither and die
