6·11 hours agoThe stage is lit beautifully. Trump faces the audience and says: “With this, I hope we clearly illustrated the need for a transition to renewable energy.” The curtain falls, the audience is ecstatic. Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu and Mojtaba Khamenei all come out and bow to the cheers of the audience.
Bollocks. 99% of gamblers stop before they win big. Maximum bet every time. Go big or go home. Just need to secure that one win, then all of the sunken costs will have made sense!
Seriously though, I once bought 20 quid worth of Overwatch loot boxes during playing I felt exactly the same way playing a slot machine. I have been once in my life to a casino because a friend wanted to go. I played the slot machine for 30 quid in total. Both after the Overwatch loot boxes and the slot machine I felt exactly this same mix of anger and shame. But during it was the exact same mentality of, hey, if I just continue, I can win something I want. The realisation came after. And so, by thinking about this experience, I essentially stayed away from gambling for good. Gambling, be it loot boxes, slot machines, casinos or anything else are a cancer upon society, keeping people poor and preying off the hopes and dreams of people with problems.

Why does she need a boyfriend if she has so much pleasure listening to the sound of her own voice?
Dick pics are cringe tho.
You are not missing out. There are a lot of lunatics in this world, and IMO, it is better to have nothing than be with them. I was in it for the long term and because I wanted a serious relationship, with a person that is equal to me, not above or below me, and with mutual support for each other. Turns out most guys below 30 are turned off by that. And so basically I stayed boyfriendless for a long time. But the first “real” boyfriend I got, I kept, and he kept me, because we both had an agreement when it came to what we wanted out of the relationship. While I definitely know the pain, the genuine pain especially when you’re lying in bed, you know the one, right? This is still better than to have a destructive lunatic who will tear down everything happy about your life. With a person like that, you’ll wish the pain back because now it felt pleasant when compared to this. So please, do not despair. Carry on. Do things that you enjoy, or things where you can meet other young people. Then, forget about the dating advice. Treat even romantic interests as friends at first, and see what develops. Because IMO, no serious relationship was ever born out of some red pill YouTube trash.
This is just my opinion on this and I’m sure other people here have given good advice.

4·13 days agoAge of an appliance is not an indicator of its quality. Quality is an indicator of quality, back then, there was as mush trash quality products as today, only difference is, they did not live long enough to be remembered.
Also, electrical appliances were way, WAY more expensive than today.

It’s not an anti journalism take. Journalism is valuable. I mean the american media landscape and the control mega corporations have over almost all of their popular media. Disney, WB and Netflix come to mind.
There absolutely are real conspiracies, USA mass surveillance, corporate control over media and censorship, social media amplifying autocratic propaganda while shadowbanning democratic content, big tech making propaganda easily accessible though text, image and video generation, fossil fuel oligarchs lobbying against change for the better, anything Epstein was doing, etc.
No need to invent stuff.
Shhh, nobody tell him that Jesus, the historical person, wasn’t white and didn’t speak American English.
