Like. You were warned not to go there, and you still did. That’s on you! Whether it’s North Korea or ISIS controlled parts of the Middle East or Russia. Like, wtf were you expecting. That you now need your Western country to bail you out with diplomacy is incredibly selfish in my opinion. Maybe I’m missing something, but if you’re told not to go there, then you go there, and then get kidnapped or detained, that should be on you.

Just don’t go there. Problem literally solved.

Whenever I browsed porn, I used to open up a new Incognito mode tab on Chrome to preserve the sanctity of my Internet browsing history. Then at one point it dawned on me: who tf am I trying to impress. This is such a waste of time and effort constantly having to lose my favorite X rated videos because my browser didn't keep track of my viewing history.

So now I stopped caring to be careful, and just go straight to the Hub without opening up a new Incognito window on my Chrome web browser. And guess what, nothing happened and no one knows any different, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

Apparently there’s trillions in gold from shipwrecks at the bottom of the ocean, dating back from colonial times, that hasn’t been discovered yet. Plus what if we developed more undersea cables to provide Internet services across the globe, instead of polluting the sky with satellites.

Don’t get me wrong, space exploration sounds fun too. But there’s still so much raw potential to be explored, mapped, and discovered on our own planet, I feel like companies like SpaceX are getting all the glamour for outer space, even when we have all this discovery to do in the ocean depths of Planet Earth.

When iOS 7 came out, Apple supposedly did away with skeuomorphic design in favor of flat icons. Whether you like this or not, what bothers me is the fact that you can’t have both in one User Interface design. I don’t like skeuomorphic design, but to me it’s even worse that they added Liquid Glass on top of the otherwise flat design of icons. It clashes so hard. And even without the clash, the Liquid Glass has other visual issues as well, which are so controversially debated, Apple even put a way to tone down Liquid Glass in MacOS.

As men, we only care about cumming and the number of sex partners we have. We’re not into that goofy shit like intimacy, closeness, and all that because a lot of modern women have fried brains from having a 5+ body count, so they can’t bond anymore. The only thing that matters is the few seconds of pleasure from ejaculation, and that’s it. Sex is so overrated. Most guys don’t care about sex when they aren’t horny; they just want to have a high body count so they can brag to their friends.

The evidence, as presented:

-Sun tans, for darker skin.
-Puffy fillers, for plumper lips.
-Nose jobs, for flatter noses.

Conclusion:

If Black women say they have it hardest in the dating scene, don’t worry, because White people want to look more similar to you. Just an observation.

I think Reddit is naïve to take for granted that there are a lot of people there who revere Trump and wholeheartedly believe anything and everything he says. Many Even having the unpopular opinion that a check for $5,000 is on their way, pending midterms election results.

This makes Trump especially dangerous when he does stuff like promise $5000 checks to people who vote for Republicans in the midterms. Most people would see through this charade and not take him seriously. Most, not all.

There are people, some of whom I’ve actually spoken to, who genuinely, seriously, and completely believe and have the opinion that if the Republicans win the midterms in 2026, that Trump will send them a check for $5000.

The problem isn't the data center itself, it's the other issues around it.

If you're building them, also building sufficient renewable energy to power them, and not otherwise harming the environment like using water in a desert or something, local people aren't going to be really impacted. If the objections are about the AI models which the data centers will power, then the solution should be in terms of regulating the models and their use rather than locally restricting where the data centers are built.

It feels like the objections to data centers are a product of how people feel negatively about AI. There have been many of them getting built for decades, but only in the last few years has it become a salient issue. I get the frustration with AI slop and bots, but the data centers are not really an effective way to push back on those problems.

Self-reported sexual partner studies are complete garbage and propaganda. You really expect people to be honest on a survey? I guarantee the average body count by 30 is easily 20 to 25. And if that’s the average for a regular girl, the numbers for influencers, models, and public figures are completely off the charts. Anyone taking those sanitized study numbers at face value is being completely naive about how modern dating actually works.

I don’t understand why so many taken or married women hire personal male trainers. A lot of these trainers don’t even look like they lift, so what are you even paying for? But the jacked ones are even worse—high testosterone, high libido, and constant physical contact under the cover of “coaching”. Let’s be real, those guys almost always have hidden motives with their female clients. If your girl insists on having a male trainer touch her and coach her 3 times a week, that’s a massive relationship red flag you shouldn’t ignore

i see ppl say men get more attractive as they age & i don’t rlly agree, i think guys look better when they are young. & no im not just saying that bc im 20, they just have better skin & nicer bodies, and better hair. my bf and i were playing around with filters & we got this age filter and we looked crazy 😺 more so he did. i feel like all the male celebs and actors kinda just lost themselves as they got older, like justin bieber. i never really cared for him but he was sooo fine back then, now he looks tired and super skinny. no offense or anything. that’s what i see for like every famous guy nowadays who in their 30s and up, i only really see women aging and still looking fine, just older, like megan fox

Anyone who's actually studied economics in America will concur that it's by far the most right-leaning social science. Most economists hate government intervention, social welfare programs that skew incentives, and love free market efficiency and deregulation.

For example, even an intro to economics class would call minimum wage laws a price floor, and as such, should probably be abolished for efficient labor markets. Republican talking points are way more emphasized than Democratic talking points. Even things like market failures, externalities like pollution, public goods, and inequality, these are less emphasized in the field of economics.

People shouldn't assume all higher education leads to Democratic voters, and definitely not leading toward this Democratic Socialism trend in America; if anything, economics produces more pro free market libertarian Republicans.

I've been getting into court cases following the Lindsey Clancy case, and it still shocks me to this day the premise of how a state can elect 12 normal citizens and put them in a room called a deliberation room to decide something so sincere as this. NORMAL CITIZENS. They have no expertise on advanced practicality such as this. If the justice system was looking for a better way to drive itself into a wall, they wouldn't have choose something so prejudiced. Why couldn't they have elected experts on the different aspects of the case and even then the experts shouldn't be the ones having the final say. Choose the experts, fill the unemployment gap, leave the citizens at home. I still don't get it, did they choose the citizens to keep the human empathy amidst all the seriousness and rigid environment? Honestly i dont know if im the only one but i think Lindsey Clancy's case has extreme unkempt potential and with the commonwealth, the DA's embarrassing presentation and the justice system, its all going to ruins.

It’s way better to go monk mode or completely abstinent than deal with some of these city girls out here. Too many of them are sneaky, backstabbing, running up high body counts, and bringing pure chaos. Any guy who just wants to protect his mental peace and avoid humiliation should stay away from those toxic dynamics. Celibacy is unironically healthier.

Becoming a successful pickup artist has ironically nothing to do with the opposite sex. It is 100% about your internal mindset.

First of all, you need to lose weight. If you're fat, no amount of pickup artist lessons will help you.

Once you've gotten your health under control, you need to understand and internalize the true and undeniable fact that you're the prize. That women should be chasing you. And if a woman is not chasing you, then she's not worth your time.

Women don't know how to flirt properly with men they like. This is so important to remember, let me repeat it: women don't know how to flirt properly with men they like.

They don't play waiting games with texting when they're talking to a man they are into, because they genuinely feel they will lose him if they don't text as soon as they read his message. They're awkward, trip over themselves, and get physically close to the man, while saying nothing, hinting for him to make a move. Or they say something stupid to get his attention, and by stupid, I mean I've witnessed some pretty dumb stuff said just to get a conversation going and be on the man's radar.

These are the signs a woman wants to be with you, and these are the women you should be dating. Not the woman who's going to send you a 4 word text after waiting another 4 hours to respond. Waste. Of. Time.

Another way to think about it is: if Brad Pitt asked her out, would she treat Brad Pitt like this? Absolutely not! Remember: you're the one who should be chased, not the other way around.

Never ask a girl for her number, and certainly don't ask a girl for her social media. Instead, offer her your number. If she likes you, she absolutely will text you and start up a text conversation thread. And if she doesn't, well you've already moved on, because the ball was in her court.

Some married or taken women who are friends with certain single women are a red flag. If she has only single friends who are the type to talk badly about men and say being single is superior, your woman should be on your watchlist, and you should prepare for divorce or baggage. If she goes on a girls’ trip with those women, it’s even worse.

People think revealing a magic trick ruins it. But a lot of magic takes so much practice, skill, and dexterity, that even if I knew how it was done, I'd still be impressed. Even relatively simple magic like the ball in the cup, to successfully pull that one off requires so much time and effort. One time I remember seeing them do the trick with clear cups, and I was still a little confused as to how the entire thing was accomplished so smoothly.

Magic is an art form, and I applaud magicians who are able to calculate the math, slight of hand, and, obviously, magnets necessary to pull off something that the viewer cannot comprehend how it was done, simply resorting to the explanation that it must be magic.

Birthright Israel is a free 10 day trip to Israel open to Jewish people only. Which is kind of redundant, in my opinion, because if you're a Jew, chances are you already support The Jewish State of Israel. To be clear, by the end of the trip you'll seriously consider moving to Israel, it's such a fulfilling trip, according to everyone who attends.

Instead, Birthright Israel should allow only those ignorant on the topic to go: anti-semites. I'm talking the worst perpetrators of Jewish discrimination and hate toward Israel. This way, they will finally be acclimated toward what they care so ignorantly about. They are the ones who need to witness Israel the most, not Jews who actually get it.

Birthright Israel is a great idea, but targeting the wrong audience. I believe if these anti-semetic groups finally got to witness how beautiful, incredible, and brilliant Israel is, they would change their views.

Maybe even Macklemore would say sorry to Ed Sheeran and rejoin his World Tour.

Environmentalists can suck it, for all I care. With gas prices reaching $5 a gallon, and oil above $100 a barrel, we need to expand our oil and gas production and infrastructure.

Pumping oil from Canada and bringing it to the Gulf would help ween us from Middle Eastern oil and dependence on opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Drill baby drill, and Build baby build the pipeline!

Baby Boomers passing down their wealth to younger generations is said to be the largest transfer of assets in American history.

Which is why I think people should tone it down with all the Baby Boomer hate memes. Hopefully this behavior doesn’t translate to the real world, because that’s an easy way to get written out of a windfall inheritance from your Boomer parents.

There’s too much at stake here. Literally trillions of dollars in value to be passed down. Let’s not mess it up by mocking them for how much easier it was for them to buy real estate or get a degree or get a job that lasted them a lifetime and they could afford everything on one income.

Patience is a virtue. An expensive, worthwhile virtue.

China. That’s all someone has to say to justify a bad company doing bad things. It’s stupid, ridiculous, and starting to get old.

Facebook/Meta claims they’re not a monopoly because of Chinese upstarts, including TikTok.

Then there’s those claiming AI companies should be deregulated so they can compete with China.

Over and over again, the supposed threat of China keeps popping up, only for it to never happen and dissipate over time. Growing up everyone said China would outpace the USA and grow to become larger, and that still hasn’t happened. Most people who fear China are just buying into propaganda to let these monopolistic companies compete without real regulations.

If you think it’s “food poisoning”, it never is.
