Has there been a massive MSM outrage yet? Against the letter?

Far right, hardcore anti-immigration senator from Australia? Unlikely there will be.

But the idea that somehow immigrants are responsible for their own unprovoked, cold-blooded murder is fucking sickening.

And accurate.

You don't have to like it, but it is a fact that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western culture. They have no business here. And no place at all to play victims.

So let me get this straight: you're saying they deserved to be massacred? And being a victim of a massacre isn't an appropriate time to "play victim"?

Yes. And their little children too, they are all part of the same group.

But not their dogs.

And no, I am not joking. The dogs did nothing wrong.

I wonder how someone could be intelligent enough to open an account on this forum but then retarded enough to condone a massacre of innocent people.

Thank you for your emotional ourburst. It was exactly what I expected. As a wise person once said, NPCs are gonna NPC.

Can you explain, with facts and numbers and cause and effect, why I am wrong? Your personal emotions in this moment are not evidence of anything.

Well actually you Ibian is the one who should explain with facts and numbers and cause and effect why you would be right in saying that some people deserve to be massacred and emphasizing the massacre of their children too...
I know you don't need it (and probably don't deserve it either) but I somehow pity you, go figure.

If you adhere to a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own, you are not innocent.

There is no doubt about that, but implying that Islam is a religion that condones and even encourages terrorism and slaughter of anyone that holds another opinion then your own seems far from accurate (and I'm being nice).
Can you explain, with facts and numbers and cause and effect where this comes from?

You guys are quite the funny bunch, thanks for the entertainment Kiss

It comes from the koran. To much text for this thread, so here's a link http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/koran.html.

Why would we run out of electricity?
We have been producing electricity for over 100 years now, during countless wars and crisis, and with many different methods. Sure there might be temporary blackouts locally, but a total, for ever, worldwide blackout? Not gonna happen.

EMPs, magnetic pole shift, solar flare....
It could happen... Remote chance but it could happen....

I Don't see a pole shift interfering with electricity production, the other two are real threats, but it will still only be local and temporary (and a good reason to have an old pre electronic car in your garage as a backup, together with sufficient amounts of gasoline, and some vital electronics and devices in a Faraday's cage for spare just in case).

I understand your reaction, I cannot explain it but I know that it will get disrupted.

Quote from NationalGeographic:
"Many facets of our lives depend on the Earth’s magnetic field, anchored by the North and South poles, from the electrical grid that powers our computers to the satellites that let us watch TV."

Anyway in a polar flip the ozone layer will disappear for a lot of years and we will get cooked or irradiated Smiley

But how?

We have been producing electricity for ONLY about 100 years. Oil and coal are the driving force behind it. We have plenty of coal allegedly, but you forget what I have been talking about recently. People today have fucking small amygdalas. We WANT to die as a group. People are gonna obstruct the use of profitable power with ethics and other bullshit while people are dying. Solar and wind is simply not enough for our current lifestyle.

Wind and water works, but it's by far not the only ways to produce electricity. 96% of Norways production comes from hydro, and 64 TWh of swedens as well, and 63 TWh from nuclear.
Each country has there own mix if one stops you still have the rest, and you can trade with neighboring countries.

EDIT: Sorry its TWh for Sweden, or about 40% each

Yeah, the questions also aren't sufficiently well-defined for my taste.

Some years back I went to the doctor to get my insomnia checked out. Ended up at some ADHD specialist.

The questionnaire was so ambiguous that I could've crossed anything without distorting the truth depending on how I'd choose to interpret the questions. Needless to say, I could choose the outcome so I went ahead and got a Ritalin prescription just to be sure.

Surprisingly, it knocked me out. First time in my life I went to bed and just fell asleep.

Not taking it anymore because I don't like having to watch my diet to negate the side-effects, and while it makes me more productive and focused it makes me think more linearly and thus tampers with creativity.

Tl;dr questionnaires are shitty ways to collect data. But unfortunately the best we have for now. Probably going to change in a decade or so though.

That is my experience with Ritalin as well, I never had any sleeping problems tho, rather the opposite, I sleep too much and is usually on a 25 hour cycle.
But I tried microdosing it instead (1/4 to 1/2 of a 5 mg pill in the morning) and that gave me a good balance between focus and creativity without messing with sleep and hunger.
I'm not taking it right now because of interactions with other drugs, but I will try another round when I'm of that drug.
I sleep too much as well. My problem is with falling asleep. Even if I worked myself out and have been awake for 30+ hours it would generally take me 2-3 hours of toss and turn before I'd finally doze off. At that point I sleep through though.

That sucks, have you tried melatonin pills, they seem to work well with some individuals.
I always read for an hour or two when I go to bed, and sleep just comes to me during that time. When I close the book, I fall a sleep.

No surprises here


Surprise for me. I'd have imagined I'd be more "libertarian", as I lean heavily into laissez faire, including the bad consequences of poor choices.

Useless quiz is far too statist to get proper picture

To get back to our past talk about my excitement for VR.

I have been planning to create a game (VR or non-VR depending on timeline) that incentivizes people to break the auto-pilot lifestyle without them even noticing, should I ever be in the position to do so. You never asked and just assumed my position though, so we got into an argument back then.

I went from being a poor person that everybody claimed would amount to nothing to a degree in Math and self-made fortune. Mostly thanks to a game with proper incentive structures. And I want to recreate the experience for future generations, if I can. Not everybody wants to sacrifice their lives for "the greater good". Especially when the world seems to be set against you. But with the right incentives people might just end up doing so while enjoying themselves.
Education through entertainment is an excellent thing and sometimes comes in surprising forms.

I watched 300, same as anyone else. From there I read Gates of Fire, which is even better. Currently reading On Sparta, and learning things I had never heard about before. Important shit like their council of elders that kept the balance in society, and one of the main reasons they didn't collapse from within like everyone else did. This is stuff we can use to better our own culture, and it all started with an action flick.

80s and 90s cartoons often had the characters summarize the lesson of the episode, same with tv shows.

Couple excellent mangas as well, such as Vinland Saga and Vagabond that are accurate enough to give an idea of how people lived in those times and places and might inspire further reading. Also the occasional anime like Psycho Pass.

What was the game?

Americans now have more than $4 trillion of collective debt for the first time in history.

$4,000,000,000,000

At some point, the bubble will pop....

Americans will need to buy bitcoin to pay their debt.

That impressive figures are without mortgages.
With mortgage included the figure is closing to an astonishing USD 14T!

... total household debt increased by $32 billion (0.2%) to $13.54 trillion in the fourth quarter of 2018

It is also noteworthy to know what it inside that debt:


Do you want to be really scared?
Check this out:
US NATIONAL DEBT CLOCK : USD 22 TRILLIONS. DEBT PER CITIZEN: USD 67,000
and counting...

That is the debt of the government (federal + local g's) of the USA, compared to the first one, that is private debt.

And the number one greenhouse gas is water.

This is correct as per the link below, which was of a surprise to me as to how much it contributes (95%).
https://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html

What is vaporizing the water then? Is there a historical data on increase in sun's activity?
The rise of temperatures is more a less a fact, AFAIK.

THE SUN IS CAUSING GLOBAL WARMING!

I do believe in science and math, that's precisely why I don't believe in a man made environmental change. It's an unproven hypothesis.
LOL how?

How could you deny the environmental pollution causing by the industrial smokes, cars etc?
How could you deny the fact that we are destroying the environmental ecosystem by cutting the forests?
How could you deny that we are killing animals and imbalancing the entire food chain?
How could you deny the climate change?
How could you deny the increased sea level?

Do you know what will happen if the last bee dies?
Watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjID1ugr1fo

First of all, we are talking about the thing that was previously called global warming. They have changed the name now, mainly because the warming has the audacity to not appear.

Secondly, polluting emissions are just a fraction of what they were in the developed world when I was born.

Thirdy, We have actually had a reforestation, not the opposite https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/tree-cover-increase-world-deforestation-farming-rainforests-forests-a8486096.html
https://news.mongabay.com/2018/08/earth-has-more-trees-now-than-35-years-ago/

Fourthly, I have never denied that we are killing animals, I eat meat on a daily basis. "Imbalancing the entire foodchain" is just too vague too mean anything.

Fifthly, I'm not denying climate change, I'm denying that it is caused by humans. And that the hypothesis behind it is not proven. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2171973/Tree-ring-study-proves-climate-WARMER-Roman-Medieval-times-modern-industrial-age.html#ixzz20MYka5fG
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/07/120709092606.htm

Sixthly, The sea levels increase by approximately 2-3 mm yearly, and have been doing so for several hundred years, no significant increase is taking place.

I do not know what will happen if the last bee dies, but I do know that the collapsing beehives seem to be under control in Europe, It seems like it was caused by a invading Asian mite and pesticides, mainly nicotinoids, they are now banned or about to be banned.
However, this is a temporary dip, the population is recovering as we speak, and most importantly, what has that got to do with climate change?

According to the Chinese government, there is no link between cigarettes and cancer. Western cigarette companies continue to argue in US courts that the link between cancer and cigarettes is only speculative.

Do you agree that cancer being caused by cigarettes is an unproven hypothesis?
