After reflecting on how the most bullshitful things i recently talked about all were suggested to me by people i trusted and while i was under stress, though they weren't trying to brainwash me and i wasn't trying to be in a trance, i recognized that stress makes us suggestible from an extreme and unfortunate example.

But the same mechanism still happens among people who have chronic low grade stress (which is >99% of everyone living in the modern world) the more stressed we are the more suggestible we are, no matter how hard we try not to copy others.

So, have you found yourself fighting an uphill battle of trying to stop copying someone? And do you feel emotional pain often (i believe grieving is the only way to purge chronic low grade stress, but we must grieve the very oldest thing we ever repressed)?

I intentionally don't use the word "race" because I think it's a social construct. But our ancestry isn't. And sorry, white supremacists, your group doesn't have the highest IQs. Asians do. But does this mean anything to you?

Here is a reference to an academic study that analyzes IQ differences among children with different ancestries.

"The Collaborative Perinatal Project is a longitudinal study of over 53,000 children followed from birth to 7 years. Up to now, studies have analyzed data on the 17,000 European American children and the 19,000 African American children. Here data are reported and analyzed for a sub-sample of 100 Asian Americans. The Asian sub-sample averaged a higher IQ (110) at age 7 than did the white (102) or the black sub-samples (90)."

Why is it these people are scared to death of being associated with their own opinions?

In a 2021 speech to the Young Democratic Socialists of America, Zohran Mamdani referred to “the end goal of seizing the means of production” and said socialists should remain unapologetic about that objective. The phrase generally means transferring ownership or control of productive property—such as major businesses, factories, land, and industry—from private owners to workers, the state, or collective institutions.

Do you support that goal for the United States?

Generally (not always) succeeding in school leads to more professional success in Western societies. Have you tried to succeed in School?

Traversing the heartland of the midwest, there are 100's of miles upon miles of corn and crops. There should be no excuse for hunger or exorbitant costs of groceries and produce. I believe a lot of our crisises are manufactured crisises.

Second, why do we really have so many adversaries. Some will claim other nations hate us because we are "the leader of the free world," but I believe there are other reasons, like we have really instigated conflicts and pissed a lot of people off.

Notice the whole American Last claim is actually becoming more apparent and obvious. I sometimes believe we don't really vote for our own leaders and there is something more sinister happening. All the propaganda we have been fed all these years were all lies.

Nowadays, it is worth asking whether it is the state that creates the nation.

Take Bavaria, for example. You know Bayern Munich; it represents the German state of Bavaria. If Bavaria were separated and turned into an independent country, would Bavarians suddenly become a separate nation, or would they still be Germans?

The genetic difference between a Russian from Moscow and a Ukrainian from Kyiv is smaller than the difference between a Saxon and a Bavarian.

When people think of Bavaria, they think of its distinctive green feathered hats and traditional clothing, its Catholic population, its industry, and its unique accent. As a state within Germany, Bavaria differs considerably from the rest of the country. By contrast, many of the things presented as symbols of Ukraine are also associated with Russia. There may be regional differences, of course—it is, after all, a border region. The word "Ukraine" literally means "borderland," the southwestern frontier of Russia.

Historically, there had never been a Ukrainian state, whereas Bavaria did exist as a state and was initially reluctant to join German unification. The region over which the Crimean War was fought was once home to the Crimean Khanate. After the collapse of the Golden Horde, first the Dasht-i Kipchak and then Crimea came under Russian control, and Russians—who, for some reason, would later come to be called Ukrainians—were settled in these territories.

According to this view, Western powers constructed a Ukrainian identity through a divide-and-rule strategy, much like Napoleon did in Egypt. (In fact, the Russians used a similar strategy by separating Azerbaijan from Iran, even though Azerbaijan had naturally been part of Iran.)

Additional note: It was not Russia but the Western bloc that, by bringing about the collapse of the Soviet Union, pushed millions of Ukrainian and Moldovan women into poverty and prostitution in countries such as Turkey.

Location: Near the lunar Einstein Crater
Speed: 5,400 mph (about seven times the speed of sound)
Object Size/Weight: Weighs about 8,800 to 10,000 pounds (approx. 5 tons) from a January 2025 lunar mission [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Background and Science
Origin: The debris is the upper stage from a SpaceX launch in January 2025 that carried two lunar landers (Firefly’s Blue Ghost-1 and Japan's Resilience).

Safety: Scientists confirm the impact poses no danger to Earth or people

Observation: The collision may kick up a dust plume that could potentially be visible from Earth, offering researchers a unique high-speed lunar impact study opportunity

First of all you are wondering yes I'm a guy. I enjoy crossdressing. Now with that out of the way which of my new sandals look the best.

I know, many people asked this question, but it's Summer - so Ice Cream time ;-)

You earn 6 figures but when dating a girl you pay for first 5-10 dates and then do 50/50. Girl doesn’t make 6 figures but does alright, lives with parents.
