    Actually, it sounds to be like sharks might be a pretty good analogy for dealing with the opposite sex

    • Know the warning signs of dangerous predators
    • Be aware of areas which may be at higher risk of running into said predators
    • Know what steps may reduce your likelihood of being attacked, and how to defend yourself

    Neither is going to make life 100% risk free, but the appropriate knowledge and steps CAN help reduce risks. It probably also helps to know the difference between the dorsal fin of a shark and a dolphin.


  • Yeah IIRC emissions shit was like that. So you can get a truck that weighs 2500kg puts out 158g/km of emissions but not an Asian style mini-truck that weighs only 1500kg and puts out i.e. 130g/km of emissions because it’s in the same weight-class as say a Corolla (for which the max emissions might be only i.e. 100g/km)

    So the mini truck might produce less pollution than the bigger truck and be perfectly useful for many people, but it’s too much PER WEIGHT and thus doesn’t qualify under the emissions regulations

    I see the issue here less as “the kids get nothing” and more a concern at where they money ends up.

    Houses get massively inflated over time… Older parents sell, but the money all ends up at some retirement home. Retirement homes are owned by a bunch of hedge funds and/or rich folk. Staff at these places often aren’t paid particularly well either.

    The end result is still higher prices for everyone else, while the rich folk get richer as everything rises into unaffordabilty.






  • I mean, for the most part yes. I’m not even so much concerned about my kids viewing porn, more so than somebody else will make nasty deepfakes of them and post online etc, so age verification won’t fix that.

    I could see it help with discriminating between people at their “own damn computers” and bots or misinformation/psyops campaigns run out of certain foreign countries though (assuming any ID also ties back to parent country).

    It’s a bit of both, but the gender problem is at least partially derived from the fact that the larger portion of assholes at the top are men.

    Getting rid of them or clipping their wings would likely be overall better for women. Replacing them with a billionaire-class of women would not.

    TBH, there was another guy but he is either dead or disappeared now.

    But the factor of whether people get tried for their crimes is much more about wealth and connection than gender IMO. Even in jail she’s given preferential treatment, and I’m sure there are other women who have been involved with Epstein’s Island of evil in additional to the rich men.

    Yes. The pedodent is supported by the billionaire class and in turn funnels even more taxpayer dollars to then and his own family. The billionaires in turn help manufacture of amplify the conflicts he feeds upon.
