Ever try to water down a fountain drink with carbonated water? You can add 300% soda water and it still tastes sweet. But that overwhelming level of sweetness seems to stimulate appetite. And it’s one of many reasons why manufacturers use high fructose instead of table sugar. It’s slightly sweeter and more stimulating.

That is precisely the origin of reactionary movements. If we look at Weimar Germany, Francisco Franco’s Spain, and Portugal’s brief experiment with dictatorship, we see a pattern: elite squandering of public resources directly cause the sort of instability that leads to fascism.

Also, Liberal Democracies tend to be very permissive of reactionary movements, owing to a combination of elite preferences for wealth inequality, manipulation of public discourse, and weak democratic structures, which the fascists easily undermine and destroy.

Liberal Democracies tend to have “freedom of the press” which leads to a large number of voices influencing political discourse. The press are usually owned by elites. Elites prefer inequality because that is what allows them to own things. So we have many voices being heard but elite voices are the loudest. This leads to corruption and theft from public funds. In the case of the first rise of fascism, elites bankrupted the states of Europe by pursuing a pointless war. The US was able to abrogate a third World War because they forgave many war debts and instead chose to economically develop nations which had been ravaged by war.

Elite today are looking at US government indebtedness and are falsely swallowing the narrative that public entitlements are causing the problem, when the real issue is war debt incurred by the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars.

The natural response to a declining standard of living is to demand economic change. The fascists are not a movement of the poor, although they are supported by the poor. They are a movement of the ultra wealthy to prevent economic and social change.

There are small language models out there that can run fluently on smartphones. I’m fond of StableCode as a coding tutor. My dream is to be able to speak to the tutor and see its code instructions without having to dig my phone out.

“Kinky” rape is basically just rape

A jury found him innocent of beating his girlfriend in 2015. He said that he was just really into kinky sex. The jury bought it. And here we are. Potentially hundreds of victims in.

The reason is that Trump can reverse the tariffs tomorrow. Or a court could freeze them if it rules trump acted illegally.

But it does seem that they might be doing some serious insider trading on the market’s volatility. Its funny that until 2024 this was illegal. But the supreme court wanted this. So here we are.

It’s odd to me that someone would feel the need to compensate for their socially awkward highschool years by learning Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and taking growth hormone. You’d think being rich would be enough for these people but it’s not.

For a brief period of time, I entertained the hope that the t-shirt was Zuck’s way of warning the world that the US was slipping into a fascist dictatorship, but that was not the case. It seems clear that that he wore the shirt out of hubris. It was his way of telling the world that he was the modern era’s Caeser and the two others men running the failing superstate were crassus and pompey. An absolutely mindless message given how it ended for all three of these men.

By the way, isn’t the word “commode” derived from Commodus? We should name something after Zuck. Perhaps this new strain of bird flu that’s been spreading wildly because of a lack of a federal response?

It occurred right around when the kingdom in orange took power. Somehow zuck thought that it would be advantageous to his interests to compare himself to Caesar during an obvious triumvirate. The orange one and phony stark would be crassus and pompey by extension. But I think commodus is a far more appropriate roman emperor for zuck to choose as his patron saint

I appreciate that you are trying to get good sources and promote truth. Thank you for being nice too.

Daily mail has done legit journalism in the past. The problem is that 90 percent of their content is salacious trash. But in this case they literally just copied their sources here so you can find the og on your own.

Yes you are right. But if you reread what I wrote i pointed out that ketamine wasnt the cause. But it was her ketamine addiction which put her in rehab. And while she was in rehab she had the medical issue.

There was a porn star whose ketamine addiction led to a series of events which resulted in a vegetative state. She shows signs of consciousness but no signs of intelligence just like musky

For fitness its probably decent but Garmin seems to have placebo sleep tracking. In order to get anything remotely accurate the sleep tracking algorithm has to be compared to a lot of polysomnograph data. But because companies don’t want to spend any more than they need to sleep tracking is usually just tacked on. Garmin hasn’t shown a good track record in this regard.
