The algorithm of Youtube is not the same as it was in the past. The current one is so bad, it's insane. I used to be able to learn new things with Youtube, now it feels like I get recommended the same old stuff again and again.
In its golden age, Youtube was an immensely helpful tool for me. I...
So some years ago I decided to take the plunge in to the stocks. Why? I had money and wanted more ... What better way to fall for scams and false hopes, right?
Well, I began investing through Robinhood (or maybe some other site ... Not 100% sure). Anyhow, I am and always have been poor, so it's...
The history of the world changed two years ago in March of 2020.
I mean, things were always “bad”, but hidden.
Secrets. Evil secrets.
How have things changed for you?
And, more importantly, how are you doing with this change?
How do you view the future?
Do you have a plan?
Here is this from...
Are you aware of this?
Are you comfortable hearing this?
USA Today had an op-ed piece supporting pro pedophilia.
Tik Tok is filled with Liberals debating such a demonic agenda.
Professors pushing this evil.
A few screenshots below as evidence.
“They” want to normalize sex with children...

"I don’t think I am the only person that has noticed it – There has been a sudden deluge of covid vaccination propaganda and vaccine passport propaganda in the past month, more so than I think we have seen since the beginning of this year. I am speaking of the...
Opinions on what is the best city / country (outside of USA) to live for a Peat centered lifestyle? Additional layer is institutions and political orientation. A thread was recently started for best place in USA.
A place like Mexico checks the boxes for climate and sun, but it lacks rule of...
It's said by many political figureheads, workaday people, your neighbors possibly and family, etc. that more access to jobs will help lift people out of poverty. The funny thing is, though, that plenty of substantial data can likely be found that shows fluctuations in job demand, supply, etc...
We live in a constantly "updated" world now -- social media, technocracy, dog-eat-dog, etc. Mostly everyone is always trying to improve their game, often at the cost of many others -- nothing new probably in a sense, but it's the effect over time that might matter now. I find that it's hard to...
I have always wondered if being homeless is really supposedly the "zero world" -- the rock bottom -- the sign that you've "lost the game of life." There are obviously cons of it like anything but has anyone really poked the proverbial bear of experience? Sure, it sounds bad which makes finding...
I was watching a funny video an hour ago, about a 'rich' young guy who has a picture-perfect morning routine which sounded like it was inspired by this famous scene from American Psycho:
I don't remember where I heard it, but isn't the desire to track everything, obsess over routines, and have...
i considered making a burner account for this one because i dont want people to stop giving me good advice but im going to trust that the users here are mature enough to not take this personally.
living in a big European city, dealing all the immigrants is naturally very stressful to me. but...
I've always found it unsettling when people have expressed the idea that "value" is something one chooses -- but also something one can just have.
When a big YouTube channel makes content it is said that content is deserving of monetization because it "provides value" to people -- a concept...
Seems a tough method forward for people. Some pursue resources and funds so they can reach a place of health or "betterment" of sorts -- others try and achieve "salvation" of some sort even with nothing but the clothes on their backs (if even). What approach usually is the more optimal one...
Seems more and more states will keep implementing mask mandate laws -- i.e. requiring everyone to wear masks anywhere outside their homes or possibly being subject to criminal charges/misdemeanors/fines/etc.
Like others probably imagine there might just be a "tipping point" where the so called...
One of the central dogmas in biology is that any large number of animals behaving as a group in deliberate manner, spanning multiple generations, is invariably based on kin. The dogma argues that this is the only way individual survival and procreation can take a back stage to the interests of...
The author is a psychologist/psychiatrist whose posts commonly come on a site I visit often (Hacker News). I think his conclusions would not be surprising to the people on the forum considering the connection between coercion/oppression, serotonin, and a host of mental conditions. Still, it is...
I've heard Peat and others talk about how higher intelligence can tend to go with higher levels of social isolation. It seems like he takes the stance that it's the intelligence that causes one to not fit in, and become isolated, but I've been thinking about this a bunch lately, and I think it's...
