  1. Had a good read on this site and a subsequent PDF that goes into more detail about putting the strategy into practice. It's a method for disarming people who are using their Lizard Brain to engage in situations where rationality is called for. They do this because they have some unhealthy insecurity that causes them to get "triggered" in their daily lives. They "convert" the insecurity to anger and then lash at whoever they can. This person, Joanna Nicola, contends that a way to deal with this problem is this method which is centered around a specially constructed sentence. (read about it below) But basically, it get's them to involuntarily switch to their rational brains where a conversation can begin. Supposedly, this method even teaches them, over time, to cope with their emotions - a skill they were missing for whatever reason. I was thinking, what if the type of person that falls for the left is also suffering from this condition? Nicola says that this disorder is becoming increasingly common. And with the internet, it can be quite confounding to wonder why people buy into stuff that can be easily looked up and debunked, if you will. We know that arguing with a person who is acting out of pure emotion is folly, and yet we so far are sort of forced into this situation with the left. What if we looked at them in this new way and dealt with them accordingly. It's late for me, and I'm sure I haven't made my best case. But I hope someone gets curious. I'd love to talk about this more, because I am definitely planning to SOMEHOW apply this method in dealing with the left. I don't know if it's as simple as using the sentence on them. I think it needs to be scaled somehow...

  2. When I went to college it because I literally had no idea what else I was supposed to do. I was just on a conveyor belt to nowhere. After graduating, traveling, and running my own businesses, I really began to understand what was robbed from me through the educational system. Even if a person is employee material and prefers it, having been exposed to how business works, it makes you a MUCH more valuable employee, because you understand what your employer needs to help run their business. After doing my own businesses, when I've had to get a job, passing the interview and getting the job is a joke. I'm usually hired on the spot--I know how to show an employer I understand what they need and I have the means to provide it. Furthermore, especially on these boards, I get the feeling that people think that starting your own business involves doing something innovative and a huge amount of resources to get started and to become successful. All that needs to be done is find something mundane, washing windows or pressure washing driveways or picking up people's junk or detailing cars or whatever, and be solid about it. Especially for washing windows, you can be in business for like $200 worth of materials. When I look back at how I could have spent college, or even my teenage years, simply finding something simple to do (again, washing windows for example) to make money on my own, I could have been wildly more self-sufficient and wealthy with the knowledge and experience I would have picked up from it. Again, all I was told was: "Go to school and get good grades." Once upon a time, going to college could actually get you a job to shoot you into the middle class. Now it literally makes you more stupid, less employable, and can often be dangerous depending on your race, sex, and political views. I don't know what else to recommend other than start figuring out how to take care of things for yourself, which involves starting and running a business.

  3. We should all stop showering, so that we stop adding more water vapour into the atmosphere. All involved climate scientists and climate politicians should stop showering, and recommend everyone else to do the same, to show how serious they are about this. All fountains, water parks, and perhaps even all fire departments should be closed as well, to prove how dedicated they are to this. Water rationing is a given, as excess water consumed can be converted into vapour and added to the atmosphere through breathing and sweating. The planet is at stake here!

  4. http://www.popsci.com/here-are-some-key-takeaways-leaked-climate-change-document "Many lines of evidence demonstrate that human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases, are primarily responsible for the observed climate changes over the last 15 decades. There are no alternative explanations. There are no apparent natural cycles in the observational record that can explain the recent changes in climate (e.g., PAGES 2K 2013; Marcott et al. 2013). In addition, natural cycles within the Earth’s climate system can only redistribute heat; they cannot be responsible for the observed increase in the overall heat content of the climate system (Church et al. 2011). Internal variability, alternative explanations, or even unknown forcing factors cannot explain the majority of the observed changes in climate (Anderson et al. 2012)."

  5. I don't think that sentence will do anything. Personally I like to push leftism to the extreme on them. Example: They say: Black lives matters is about black lives mattering. All lives matters is racist because it ignores black lives. I say: If you really think about it, they are still shackled by their slaves chains to be called black. They aren't black. Just look at their skin, its not actually the color black. That term is actually oppression. They must be referred to by their national identities. ie African, Jamaican, American. (Notice this actually makes sense to call an "African American" an "American" ) They say: Hmm really? I say: Yes, You are being racist. They are internalizing their oppression. They say: But I am not racist! I support BLM. I say: You are supporting internalized oppression of minorities, that is racist. You are racist. They say: Omg, I don't mean to be. I am sorry. etc etc. ***This is where they feel the left eating the left. Like when the SJW is called out by the feminists or the transgender black is reeeeeee'd at for saying the "wrong" thing.*** When you push them too far they question their beliefs. They are thinking I am not racist but I did something that someone now thinks I am racist. Breaks their circular thought patterns.

  6. Well observing the news these days and it's not hard to get very worried about the future and be skeptical about things getting any better: Islamisation of the West, fast rising debts of the world economies, migrant crisis, rise of the new Soviet Union (eg the EU), creeping socialism, nuclear arms race in the middle east, north korea, there's a lot of bad stuff happening all at the same time. Question is if things go to worst case scenario and everything on the list that could go wrong goes absolutely wrong, what steps should you take in the meantime to prepare yourself for when things go tits up? Eg, economic crash, civil war with the muslims, possible nuclear exchange. I know everyone says that in the event of thermonuclear war you might as well just shoot yourself because everything is totally hopeless, which it would be in the scenario of a full on nuclear exchange between Russia, US, China, but i'm one to not go down without fight. So what steps could you take in the meantime? I'm thinking everything to do with survival. For example: 1. Total self sufficiency: Being able to grow your own food eg tomatos, lettuce. Being able to hunt and fish for meat, storing up food 2. Self defence: Being able to fight in order to protect your resources eg proficient in some martial arts, having some sort of weapon at home. Could even be a crowbar or shovel. Now regarding being able to feed yourself, i've been thinking about storing up lots of food at home. I've got a lot of tinned food, but the issue i've got with that is i've heard that the tinned food contains BPA, a chemical which can cause cancers, so what would be the better alternative? Does there exist any canned food which doesn't have any BPA in it? If not what's the alternative? Bottled food? Also i'm guessing if you wanted to cook, seeing as how power and gas would be down, one option would be having barrels of water and finding a way to boil it. But what would be the best way to do that? storing up lots of wood and burning it on a fire? Or should you get a gas generator? Also I assume it runs out eventually. If so how do you replenish the gas supply. Also any ideas how you could heat up water? Would some sort of water generator work where you heat up the water? Then there's finding fresh water and I guess you'd have to find go find a spring in order to find some. Also would I also have to do some filtering to get rid of dirt and filth from the water? Finding a cascade or waterfall or lake with clean water could be a good idea as well in order to wash and keep clean. Learning how to make soap I think is also an essential skill to have in order to keep clean. Learning to hunt, learning how to build shelter. These are all good things that could help you survive. Does anyone have any other ideas?

  7. By threatening to dox a reddit user unless he remains silent the fake news network "CNN" has declared war on the entire internet community. Unless we fight back CNN could do this to anyone of us! Sign a petition to revoke their broadcasting license: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/it-time-revoke-cnn-broadcasting-license But even more important, hit them where it hurts - contact and boycott their advertisers: (Remember to use #CNNBlackmail when contacting them via twitter!)
