We have lived in an effectively post-scarcity society since 1885. Most political conflict since then has revolved around what to do with all the surplus we generated. The modern "services-oriented" economy is the solution we arrived at: give everyone fake jobs to LARP scarcity.

>Is central London just a playground for domestic and international nepo kids? Or Americans? (lol) not sure how it works
Yes. Not domestic really (not from what I’ve seen, there’s not enough of them/they hang out outside London), but certainly international + Americans.

Takes a special kind of retard to think missile defense systems to stop Russians from slaughtering civilians are neither worthwhile nor urgently needed.
How dare he spend a weekend saving schools and hospitals from explosive drone attacks instead of ending poverty, right?

Have you read what Cummings said about it? That it was literally a non story but was perfect memetically amongst a certain section of the elite
Going through airport security. Being prodded and directed like cattle by the most ugly freakshows. Deeply sickening experience. I would put up with the occasional hijacking or bombing to not have to deal with this

Chess is much less random than boxing. To beat Carlsen you have to get lucky 35-80 moves in a row. To beat Tyson you have to get lucky once.

Actually now that I think about it , voting labour is inherently accelerationist. The sooner the public sees nothing will change with a new party in power the sooner something new and effective can arise

They don’t have to be the primary methodology though. Swiping is the lowest effort thing you can do. Going outside and doing cold opens is still a thing

Yeah I do lol. My sibling doesn’t. Not sure how common it is, my guess is there are fewer people that feel bad. Probably because there’s no point, I’m jealous of my sibling tbh. It wears on the mind thinking about how little you actually do compared to what you could do.

Yes we are ngmi… I am leaving as soon as I can. I even wrote a blogpost about how the UK sends many of its best engineers to work in Formula 1 doing literally pointless things, while the best engineers in the US work on things like SpaceX. One of the many avenues of our decline
Ambient latent obsession with psychometrics obscures the fact that what mainly separates "normies" from the rest of us is not middling IQ but astounding and incurable cowardice. You have no idea how brave you are by just thinking your own thoughts in the safety of your own head.

Hmm idk man, telling a kid they’re immoral for liking Musk seems worthy of disciplinary action at least. Hope you mentioned this to your principal or something of the sort
Went to Wales and ate like shit, so thought I’d try and cleanse myself. I now haven’t eaten in 48 hours, my first time fasting. Only had water and salt.
First day was alright, got some hunger pangs but nothing too bad. Even sat for dinner with my family and wasn’t tempted. Maybe
