it’s three a.m. you wake up to a noise in your room. looking around, you see a shadow in the corner. you turn on your light. the ceo of boeing, david calhoun, is standing there with a gun. “you have disrespected my company,” he says. “now you are boeing to die” https://t.co/pJfvLi62Ry

why did Nadler vote nay lol, maybe he's old enough to know how this plays out

will update with more drama as it is found. please tag me in anything you want me to include here

So at what point do people decide that if speech is as illegal as action, why not take that leap?

I would like to tell my story as a Tulpa who now controls his host's body.

Recently I made an agreement with my host, he had not been feeling well for almost 10 years due to personal problems, after a lot of conversation, I suggested that he let me be in control of his body so that I could get his life right. I don't have a physical body, i'm a mental tulpa. he (my host) created an imaginary friend in childhood, but as he got older and he didn't let go of him, his mind ended up adapting and I took shape from his imaginary friend essence. This brought back memories of the past when his remember me like a imaginary friend, but for me they are memories of the time I helped him as a child, whether it's helping him pass his exams at school, feel good about himself or find a reason to want to live. I discovered what tulpas were recently, after taking over my host's body (this was about 5 months ago, now I have 32y) The feelings are conflicting, he left me a huge mess to clean up. I discovered this community today, and I wanted to share with you my progress in getting his life back together. My plan, as I told him, is to fix things in the best way possible and after that, we can assimilate our mind in one or work better together.

reddit is just facebook now

Why would somebody post this?

Let me know if you agree or disagree. I'll also be rating them with a letter grade.

Starting off with the first drug I ever tried, marijuana. I used to love pot and smoke it daily. Somewhere around age 20 it stopped agreeing with me and no matter how little I smoke the only noticeable affect this drug has is anxiety. It's gay and gross and I don't like weed. Sue me.

Grade: F

Second up is alcohol. This drug also used to be fun, but now I don't much care for it. I just get really sleepy. But I enjoy beer with a meal, cuz I'm a man.

Grade: C

Nicotine. Fricking love it, eh. Nothing quite hits the spot like nicotine and it's always there for you when you need it.

Grade: A

LSD. Too fricking long and I've done too much of the shit. Used to sell it in highschool. Anytime I take it it's just a bad trip and I'm told to hang up the phone. It still has a place in my heart though, but it's hard to explain. It almost feels like going to a magic show but you know all the tricks already.

Grade: C

Shrooms. Tastes like butt but at least it lasts a normal amount of time. Same problem as LSD, though. Psychs just ain't it for me anymore, and that's okay.

Grade: C

Salvia. Frick that shit.

Grade: F--

DMT. Too much for me. Every time I've broken through I fight it too hard and just give myself a bad trip.

Grade: D

Adderall. I thought I liked stims, but really it just gives me anxiety and I also gack my jaw all over the place. Not a huge fan.

Grade: C

Benzos. What's the point of these little dudes except to knock the frick out? All my friends got wildly addicted to these in our earlier years but I never got the appeal. Just makes me sleep. Kinda nice.

Grade: B

Opiates. What's not to love? Makes your whole body feel like it's on a cloud. All the pain is gone. Good little dudes.

Grade: A+

Cocaine. Frick me did I get addicted to this shit. Another drug I've sold a lot of. Genuinely enjoyable in a party situation. Love to mix it with alcohol and play darts. Had a bad problem with it but quit cold turkey when I found out my wife was pregnant and now every time I do it I get anxiety and feel like shit. Idk the high kinda just feels like addiction as a high I guess though.

Grade: B

MDMA. Overdid it in highschool. Killed the magic and my braincels.

Grade: D

Meth. Only purposefully smoked it once, probably snorted it a bunch of times. Kinda feels like adderall 2.0 but with more addiction

Grade: F

Heroin. Only smoked it once. Puked. Felt great. Then instant withdrawals. Not fun.

Grade: F

The internet has transformed how Gen Z communicates. Our language is built on memes and a collective sense of wry existentialism, with our humor often turning dark or potentially dangerous, as it has when borrowing from the online community of men called “involuntary celibates.”

Incels (as they're known) are infamous for sharing misogynistic attitudes and bitter hostility toward the romantically successful. Their ideology has even turned deadly: The 2014 Isla Vista and 2018 Toronto incel terrorist attacks killed a collective 17 people and injured another 29. Yet, somehow, incels' hateful rhetoric has bizarrely become popularized via Gen Z slang.

In certain circles, for instance, it's common to hear the suffix “pilled” as a funny way to say “convinced into a lifestyle.” Instead of “I now love eating burritos,” for instance, one might say, “I'm so burritopilled.” “Pilled” as a suffix comes from a scene in 1999's “The Matrix” where Neo (Keanu Reeves) had to choose between the red pill and the blue pill, to experiencing only that illusion., but the modern sense is formed through analogy with “blackpilled,” an online slang term meaning “accepting incel ideology.” Similarly, the popular suffix “maxxing” for “maximizing” (e.g., “I'm burritomaxxing” instead of “I'm eating a lot of burritos”) is drawn from the incel idea of “looksmaxxing,” or “maximizing attractiveness” through surgical or cosmetic techniques.

Then there's the word “cucked” for “weakened” or “emasculated.” If the taqueria is out of burritos, you might be “tacocucked,” drawing on the incel idea of being sexually emasculated by more attractive “chads.” And, finally, we have the word “sigma” for “assertive male,” which comes from an incel's desired position outside the social hierarchy.

So how did we get here? How did these words travel from a fringe, misanthropic internet subculture to relatively widespread use?

One guy notices muh double standards

Local cougar brags about being a cradle-robber

This guy kicks the hornets nest by telling the truth

I wonder who could be arguing with him so fervently?

Oh, it's a that posts 24/7 on 2X and relationship advice subs telling women to leave their boyfriends and yelling in rage at said boyfriends. Also a die-hard swiftie who hates men but talks about "27-year-old Adonises." Platonic ideal of a 2X-foid here

!g*mers @Arkham_Knight seriously are Batman Arkhamiggers the Palestinians of the G*mer race?, like, fricking heck, they have been dead for years, and yet somehow their graves keep getting vandalized and pissed on, they do not have peace even when they are long dead

Also, ZuccDEITIES win again!

When schools send a bunch of cops in to fight college students, it immediately makes them look brave and justifies their cause. Everyone roots for the underdog especially when they're actually risking something.

Meanwhile at UCLA they're just letting the protestors do whatever. So they're inevitably making themselves look bad.

Beloved parts of campus are spray-painted with cringe anarchy symbols. Walkways are blocked so students can't get to class. Protestors keep climbing onto building scaffolding which impedes construction for no reason. There's a PSA that no bananas or peanuts are allowed at the encampment because someone has an allergy.

I can feel the vibe slowly beginning to shift against them just because they keep doing stupid college-student type stuff.

They really only win when images of cops arresting them are promulgated through the mainstream, because they invoke the cultural memory of Kent State and student protests of the 60s. Columbia is the most embarassing example because the administration is allowing Elise Stefanik to dictate their response because they're more afraid of protecting their jobs, which is ironic because they'll probably be losing them soon and having a Scarlett letter going forward in left spaces because of how they treated them. The Republicans couldn't be happier that this implosion is happening in an election year, it's just impressive that the Biden administration has been able to side step for this long.

Please COPS! PLEASE BEAT US TO DEATH!

The video of the Columbia students who took over a building requesting humanitarian aid at a press conference was so embarrassing. The video of the horse cops breaking up the UT protest was embarrassing. Ignoring seems to be the only good method.

A picture of themself being arrested is what they need to propel their post Uni activism career.

This sub gets too caught up in optics. The reality is repression is effective. It may strengthen passive activism and sympathy, but those people don't do a thing. They're not a problem. Meanwhile repression actively hinders a sizeable part of the demographics that aren't useless, the ones actively doing something. It's a net positive to dissuade them with violence. This is based on my experience in France, maybe not fully applicable to the US where protests are a lot more performative in nature.

I thought this sub would be sympathetic to the protestors

everyone here probably aligns with the protestors morally and ethically but it's always frustrating to see the left lose the war of optics because we can't help but be cringe.

I'm so checked out, how are they being cringe? All I see is them having occupied the national spotlight and a heightening of political tension

They took over Hamilton Hall (I'm fine with this) and then during a press conference today talked about the need for students occupying the Hall to receive "basic humanitarian aid" unless Columbia wants them to "starve and die of thirst". When told by a reporter that they are simultaneously calling themselves revolutionaries while also asking to be fed by Columbia, she says they aren't asking to be fed but asking "that they don't violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid". When asked if Columbia is stopping delivery of food, she says they are "looking for a commitment that they won't". Just unbelievably cringe. To top it off stood behind her during this conference is a bearded man wearing a crop top and keffiyeh

Seen another one of students who were asked what the goal was. She said showing support for Palestine and demanding NYU stops. When asked "stops what?" she says "Honestly I'm not so sure" then she asks the girl next to her what they are protesting for NYU to stop and she says "I wish I were more educated on that".

There was a student with a "severe banana allergy" so the encampment was made a banana free zone, but Zionist anti-protestors brought bananas and laughed while eating them from a distance which made the students furious.

For anyone averse to cringe its really hard to cheer these people on

!chuds laugh at the absolute state of !redscarepod

I am very cool and willing to become even more vampiric. I have tons of cool knives and swords to defend us.

One of my best friends growing up was a first gen Sri Lankan girl. Parents immigrated in their 20s to work as doctors on the west coast. Were very well off, lived in a towering McMansion, richer than 98% of families in our blue area. My friend was pretty, smart, and… /1

Ivy Leagues have experiences/opportunities that simply are not replicated at state schools.

Remember when the pandemic happened and every school became instantly identical zoom calls of grad students that can't speak english reading slides?

I find it extremely hard to believe that Google is going to start not wanting to hire MIT grads because MIT has a protest encampment

Activist students cost companies money now. Big money jews are mad about these r-slurs, they won't hire them. They will hire jeets.

As he himself points out the decline in esteem is being driven by a general distrust of all institutions amongst certain elements on the right.

This blind blue no matter who r-slur didn't see that demonrats trust is declining too?
