[00:03]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I said, "Apparently Jack Tramiel at Commodore told Bill Gates "I'm already married." when Gates told him the asking price of BASIC. That's sort of my attitude with banks that want to make money off me."
[00:05]	IsambardPrince	"Banks are vicious marketers, and if you ever end up owing them and not being able to pay it as fast as they want it, you'll start to see a really ugly side that they don't want people to see on the entrance."
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	JWZ says that Star Trek Section 31 is the worst trek.
[00:08]	IsambardPrince	They'd have to work to earn that after Season 1 of TNG.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	My favorite examples of Star Trek gone wrong are the planet of ooga booga black people, and the planet of women that are large and in charge until they just can't get enough of Riker.
[00:09]	IsambardPrince	:)
[00:11]	MinceR	lol
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	"Project 2025 serves women too, although you would think not on the surface level.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Women have been trying to ban pornography forever. They say it humiliates and objectifies them, but the real reason they want it gone is the same reason prostitution is illegal. The same reason they want to criminalize non-marital co-habitation and gay marriage again. It's competition. You have a product or service with a listed price (sometimes free) (in the case of porn and prostitution), which competes with a product with no 
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	known fixed price and one that is an open-ended commitment.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Marriage to a woman is like having a charge card where you really want a credit card. A charge card is said to have "No Preset Spending Limit", but there is a limit. It changes every month and they won't tell you what it is. You can ask if they'd approve what you're about to do, but that's all you can do. Women don't want you to know what the price is. They might let you know what it is, roughly, at a point in time, if it suits 
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	them, otherwise they won't.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	It could also be compared to buying a car vs paying a mechanic. In the first case, you both argue a lot and you have no idea what you'll be paying, and in the other case, the price is on the wall.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Some people value knowing up front what the terms are. If my alternator blows up, I can ask a mechanic (or do it myself and ask the store) what I'm in for. If my car breaks down entirely and I need a new one, it's back to arguing about prices, interest rates, payment terms, paint and puncture packages, extended warranties, and loan payoff agreements, until you don't even know what the hell just happened.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Banning porn eliminates competition. There's a bill in Illinois right now that would decriminalize prostitution, and it might pass. Because it only benefits women. They can be prostitutes and never get arrested for it, but being a man trying to hire one would still be a punishable crime, and the police would still have sting operations, instead of working on their 7% murder clearance rate.
[00:20]	IsambardPrince	Sex robots? Oh, they won't like that at all. They already don't. They say what a loser you'd have to be to buy one. They also want laws against renting time on one. It's competition. They don't like it when men reduce them to that, but they're fine with reducing themselves to that as a means to an end."
[00:21]	IsambardPrince	-Me
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, Some woman complained about a man who doesn't shower or know how to load the dishwasher. Then another one was like omg me too, and he smells so bad I have to keep the windows open.
[00:44]	IsambardPrince	I replied.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	"Many women have a knack for finding the worst 5% of men and refusing to date anyone but them and then claiming "all men" are like this.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	He has no problems because you think you'll fix him and refuse to set boundaries.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	Then it drives the other men crazy to look at it. Then the women call those men "incels".
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	If someone is pissing you off, either confront them about it or leave. It's as simple as that. If he can't figure out how to work a bar of soap and turn on a dishwasher, you've lost nothing. Quit complaining on Reddit."
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	So they called me an incel.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	I continued:
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	"My suggestion to either ditch a guy who doesn't know how to shower or load a dishwasher or stop complaining, is a fact. If he really can't do either of those tasks, which are basic and easy. And what man wants to sit around and stink so badly that they have to smell themselves? What in the Hell is wrong with your generation?
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	Does this "man" have to get someone to help him change wiper blades too?
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	Women don't have an exclusive commodity and the only think that evokes a sense of mystique or wonder is in how someone is failing so much that they "need" some sort of degenerate who can't figure out how to load a dishwasher or bathe can even live.
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	"Herr derr I leave the windows open because he stinks so much! I like this I eat paste!"
[00:45]	MinceR	lol
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	That's what you women sound like. What kind of a man wants that?
[00:45]	IsambardPrince	Tell him to get in there and wash his goddamned crotch for crying out loud. What a loser."
[00:45]	MinceR	why do you waste your time on people like that?
[00:46]	IsambardPrince	*thing
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	I don't know.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	It bothers them.
[00:47]	IsambardPrince	They're not used to getting pushback from an actual man that says that's fucking disgusting. Have some self respect.
[00:48]	IsambardPrince	They like to paint all men as doesn't know how to shower and if he does I catch him in there using Dawn dish soap.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, You know, between my various antifeminist and male rights views, and my skepticism towards globalization and the Fed, it would be easy to make fun of me, or accuse me of being some kind of a crank.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	Because it pisses people off when you're onto something and it challenges their power.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	One thing Trump should demolish is the United Nations.
[00:51]	IsambardPrince	I don't mean it figuratively.
[00:52]	IsambardPrince	I mean send bulldozers and knock it down and expel the "diplomats".

[00:58]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, The author mentions an episode of the old TV series "The Avengers where two men facing each other across a pool table. They agree to give each other three seconds before grabbing for a gun and shooting, and on the count of 2 one picks up the pistol and shoots the other. The one that was playing by the overall agreed upon rules was disadvantaged and it cost him his life.
[00:58]	IsambardPrince	I like that.
● Feb 19
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	Hmm, I never thought about this.
[01:01]	IsambardPrince	Women deliberately failing to control their emotions, as a weapon.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	He said that men do. I don't.
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	If I turn on a shower that's too cold or too hot I definitely start shouting "Ahhh!! FUCK FUCK FUCK!!!!"
[01:02]	IsambardPrince	And I admit that this happens far too often.
[01:27]	IsambardPrince	If that guy across the hall was worth anything, he wouldn't need an econowife.

[02:18]	IsambardPrince	I hope they get evicted.
[02:18]	IsambardPrince	Thump thump thump n***a n***a n***a....

[10:13]	IsambardPrince	She said she was an English teacher who, in Iran, had converted to Christianity in an underground church. According to Irans Islamic Shariah law, converting from Islam is considered apostasy and is a crime punishable by death.
[10:13]	IsambardPrince	She left Iran in December, she said, hoping to build a new life in the United States. She knew that Mr. Trump was deporting migrants, she added, but thought, Im not a criminal, I am educated, I will show them my qualifications, my conversion to Christianity papers.
[10:13]	IsambardPrince	Ms. Ghasemzadeh took a series of flights to Mexico, she said, and then headed for the southern border, paying a smuggler around $3,000 to help her climb over the border wall. She was soon picked up by border officials.
[10:13]	IsambardPrince	After five days in federal custody, Ms. Ghasemzadeh said, all the deportees except for the children had their hands tied and their feet shackled by U.S. authorities."

[22:28]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I posted: "
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	Honestly, I'm more concerned under this administration that people will eventually need to get out and won't be able to. Consider Nazi Germany (the Voyage of the Damned) or the German "Democratic Republic" (you know, the one with the wall, that shot people in the back for trying to escape), or China's "no exit list" and the local police call you and cancel your tickets if you don't tell them why you're traveling.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	But we're not there, yet. What's disturbing is that human psychology is prone to denying there's a problem or that it will be "that bad" right until the end. Many Jews kept thinking that Nazi Germany would only get worse "to an extent" and look what happened. Not saying that's where this is going, but people live in this sort of state as a survival mechanism. Right? First the government was promoting itself by buying people off with 
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	benefits and generous allotments of vacations and cushy jobs and stuff, while on the backend it was taking on ruinous high interest loans to finance that (along with rearmament, of course), then when it no longer needed the public's praise, but rather its fear, the benefits went away and the threats got louder.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	You are here. That's why the House Republican bill is deleting food stamps and Medicaid, but I digress.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	The current administration has far more in common with those people than the people who elected him.
[22:28]	IsambardPrince	To be fair, if Trump had to be stranded on a desert island, he'd likely much rather be stranded there with Xi or Putin, than the people who only elected him. After all, he has almost nothing in common with the folks that elected him, other than the fact that some of them might be a larcenous perverted worm."

[23:03]	IsambardPrince	There is no inherent difference in mental capacity between man and woman. They're raised differently.

[23:34]	IsambardPrince	Well, at least that would be good news.
[23:34]	MinceR	indeed
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	It would be the first time military spending in the US went down since the second world war.
[23:35]	IsambardPrince	The DoD is the largest component of the budget that's not mandatory spending.

[23:36]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I've said all along we should rename it the United States Self-Defense Force and pare it way down. Keep several hundred nukes so nobody fucks with us, and call it a day.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	8% is kind of a lot because the baseline budget alone is over $1.4 trillion now.
[23:37]	MinceR	well, the less of it there is, the less cheeto hitler can use against anyone
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	I think we can do more than 8%.
[23:37]	IsambardPrince	8% would just be cutting out the money that they lose every year.
[23:37]	MinceR	communist china's, muscovy's and north korea's spending should also be reduced

[23:39]	IsambardPrince	When Olaf Sholz said that having Orban was "like having Putin in the room with us", he didn't realize soon it would be much worse.
