None.
To the young single men: when you get married, you are handing a "permanently nuke your life" button to the woman you marry. You better be real sure you're marrying a woman who won't press it. Under our current legal system and culture, the woman holds all power, and you have none. Being based and trad doesn't change this, your marriage is only as based and trad as she allows it to be - you have no foot to put down, not really. That may make you uncomfortable, you may call me cucked or longhoused, but that's just the reality in our time. Men, who you choose to marry is the single most important decision you will ever make in your life. There are good women out there, and marriage is a good and holy thing, it is still possible to have a good marriage. But you have to choose wisely.

“Everywhere we look, AI has diminishing returns. It gets more expensive in treasure and talent to make each step forward. More of every input has been required to maintain steady gains.”
This is stunning. Just completely in contradiction to everything we’ve been told.

Incredible video shows a Russian drone attempting to destroy a Ukrainian ground robot but being disabled when the robot deploys an anti drone net and catches it.
We literally have robots fighting each other on Ukraine’s frontline.
America has 16,876 machine shops.
83% employ fewer than 20 people. Just nine employ more than 500.
New defense companies are moving from prototypes to mass production, and every missile, drone, ship, and rocket they ultimately produce needs to run through one of these small shops.
That friction is a national security liability.

“The ‘skandalon’ [alternative word for Satan in the Gospels] is a model that becomes the obstacle, period.”
“Between the [mimetic] ‘double’ and the devil, there's not a relation of identity but a relation of analogy.”
— René Girard
the number of ppl who understand the implications of this is remarkably small.
this is upstream of ~every single macro & micro goal that any avg american has. now you pair this with the job market that is likely going to be in complete shambles in the next 4-8 quarters. jesus christo.
ironically this was the first season there were near zero real hurricanes but the economic hurricanes are just forming.

If your spirituality is...
• Designed by you
• Filtered through your preferences
• Evaluated only in terms of how it makes you feel
…you alienate yourself from undergoing the disruption required for growth.

In the High Middle Ages, the rediscovery of Justinian's Digest led to the fusion of Roman law and Canon law into a system of common law across much of Europe.
But did you know that most of the Roman law in the Digest was based on the opinions of just five men?
The way Roman judges ruled on cases was by consulting the published opinions of jurists. By 426 AD, there were so many works by so many jurists that Theodosius II decided to enact a law called the "Law of Citations." Under this law, judges were meant to base their judgments on only five jurists who were determined to be authoritative: Papinian, Paulus, Gaius, Ulpian, and Modestinus.
Consequently, when the Digest was written in 533 AD as the authoritative, binding summary of Roman law, the opinions of these five jurists from the Law of Citations made up around three-quarters of the Digest.

i seriously doubt people comprehend what this means
*10 million Optimus per year*
that's the equivalent of a whole nation of robots that could eventually work tirelessly, ~24/7, without needing to be trained individually, with the intelligence of a nobel prize winner, that only improve with time, that build and repair each other, that do not need holidays or sick leave or a raise, and that will just work without complaining
a new industrial revolution is coming, the scale of which we can't comprehend
The Optimus factory construction at Giga Texas is progressing rapidly.
It'll be a massive 7 million sq ft facility with a targeted capacity of 10 million Optimus per year. Initial production is planned to begin in 2027.
The Fremont facility, planned for 1 million per year, is expected to begin production this year.

When Lauren Friedman showed up at Amherst College, she was surprised to discover that almost every single girl in her dorm and on her athletic team was already taking SSRIs.
Inside jokes about Zoloft & Lexapro were common on campus, and everyone seemed deeply grateful their persistent anxiety and depression from teenage years was magically disappearing from a pharmaceutical drug.
Like her peers, @lololizzle had struggled earlier in life with both anxiety and depression -- so Zoloft seemed like a perfect solution. After all, all of her friends were taking it too, so how bad could it be?
Little did she know, SSRIs are causing a silent epidemic among Gen Zers called Post-SSRI Sexual Dysfunction, or PSSD. Like untold tens of thousands of other people just like her, Lauren now has completely lost her libido, sensation in her genitals, and even a sense of emotional connection with the people around her... PERMANENTLY.
She says she and others like her were NEVER given informed consent about the risk of developing PSSD, and American doctors will rarely even diagnose the condition at all.
Whether it's birth control being thrown in the faces of teenage girls to magically "regulate your hormones" or Zoloft instantly prescribed to "make you happy," one thing is clear--the young women of Generation Z are being poisoned en masse without any understanding of what may happen to them down the line.

Sometimes the point of the trip is to eat something good, stare at a body of water, and remember who tf you are.
You don't always have to have a jam-packed itinerary!
sometimes i genuinely wish i lived in less interesting times. i love history & it is fascinating but living through it feels exhausting.
as if the very floor you’re walking on is continuously moving at speed in different directions while you’re trying to navigate somewhere.
