@IterIntellectus@Based_Gendo Old school alt-pack: Berserk (old ones first), Vampire Hunter D, Tekkonkinkreet, Spirited Away, Gantz and Gantz 0, all easy to deal with and high level emotional and visual feasts. If you haven't seen any on that list, you're in for a treat for sure. I got my wife up to spec too.
@litecoin Who are the Whos here?
The caption says "Tell him", so it could be any one of them.
In fact, even the Woman might be a "him" these days.
The only thing for certain is that there is at least one "him" in the equation.
Why tread water in a state of decades long protracted semi-war when it could simply be won? Ignoring critical problems doesn't make them disappear. We can't change the location or situation of one of our most important allies with the force of dismissive ambivalence or self righteous hatred. The world is the world and the longer we avoid dealing with it, the greater the problem when one day we are forced to. What would a good Christian say to turning on their friends when their going gets tough or their hardships become inconvenient?
We are the United States of America and we defend our allies! Israel is the only Western interest in the Middle East.
When you share the same position as the Woke Left, what does that mean?
We are seeing the same old anti-semitic canards being repurposed for the modern age.
This path will inevitably result in Christian National Socialism as the slow rolling of totalitarian measures lead to the control of the means of production. You cannot vilify the entirety of the Jewish Homeland, based on Hamas propaganda and statistics, without the dire consequences of a bigoted self righteous world view. Extremist Islam will not stop at Israel.
Isolationism will not serve the American interests in the long run.
Thank god, for our country, that France did not have an Isolationist policy during the Revolutionary War!
During WW1, the Islamic Ottoman powers in the Levant were defeated and Israel was held to be returned to the Jews. The rule of the entire other Middle East was given to the Islamic Arabs. Erasing the history of that War and WW2 would be insane and abandoning Israel is the spark that will ignite the tinder box that is WW3.
These are the questions I would pose to illustrate the current situation:
Should the descendants of the northern Vikings invade England in a rape attack to claim the territory as their own based on the time they've been settled there?
Should they be given multiple states carved out of the UK?
The Vikings originally invaded England, should that be ignored and their new invasion considered just?
Would it be okay for the new UK Viking states to stage constant attacks against Britain with no repercussions?
Of course, for these questions to serve as the analogies intended, the descendants of the original Viking invaders would have to share the same religion as their ancestors. This would have to include belief in the concept of Valhalla.
Isolationism is not mutually exclusive with anti-Globalism. The modern Christian Nationalist right is not anti-Neoncon, but Alt-Neocon.
MAGA only happened because the moderates saw a new path in the Republican party. They despised the puritanical religious zealotry of the Bush era of the past and also needless wars. The situation in Israel is not needless however and it can't be ignored just as WW2 could not be brushed aside. Israel is not Ukraine, and extremist Islam is not Russia. The enemies of Israel are the enemies of Western Civilization.
@IterIntellectus Go to an endocrinologist or anti-aging doctor. Get TRT (cypionate or enanthate) and some peptides like BPC-157 combo. You will feel a big difference.
@from_sapiens@IterIntellectus I think Magnetic Resonance or Magnetic Field Sensors that you would place around your head in some fashion. Extremely sensitive, highly calibrated, in a small, convenient, wearable form factor.
Potentially, also a non-surgical nano robotic application.
@from_sapiens@IterIntellectus Progression of external sensor tech coupled with the desire for a non-surgical interface. The short term invasive interface might be much shorter than expected.
most people still imagine the future as a linear progression of the present because that’s how the human brain has survived for two hundred thousand years.
the problem is, we just left that timeline. the curve bent upward and we are riding the exponential
alpha‑fold and Evo didn’t just predict some protein shapes or DNA sequences; they opened the back door of life which will allow us to code biology as if it was software. combine that with robotic wet labs that never sleep, foundation models that can design viable drug scaffolds before lunch, and cloud‑scale simulation stacks that test those ideas millions of times a day and the old pharma roadmap looks like sending messages with pigeons
“curing all illnesses in 10 years” is not even hype, it’s a conservative extrapolation from the slope we’re already on. by 2030, being sick will be optional. the standard will be version‑controlled, real‑time, and personal. most diseases will be eradicated, or at least treatable at home before they even make you sick
think about it like this: if you took someone born in 1900 and dropped them into 2025, antibiotics, jet travel, gps, and pocket supercomputers would sound like pure magic. we’re about to experience that same delta, compressed into the span of a decade. ten years is the new century.
so here’s the only thing that actually matters: don’t die
skip the obviously stupid risks, hit the gym, sleep enough and eat well. staying alive long enough to cross this threshold is the only thing that should worry you. everything else is irrelevant in comparison
we’re not just living through history; we’re actively compiling the next release of the human being
@PeterSchiff@howardlutnick What about surplus inventory?
There is demand for undervalued merchandise, but the producer is on the losing side of that equation.
@CoinDesk@timmassad We understand the difference between gold bullion vs gold jewelry, so why not cryptocurrency vs cryptocurrency produced products like meme coins?
