  • As someone that abused Ketamine for years, it is so easy to be so caught up with delusions (especially those of grandeur, or that are fed into by your environment) especially if abusing in tandem with other drugs that reinforce such delusions like Cocaine.

    But those delusions still don’t just manifest out of nothing, the stew that is Elon’s brain has been continually cooking under these circumstances, but mine was under similar and I am no Nazi.

    I think it is likely the money, subsequent power and unwillingness to take on board criticism that leads him to be surrounded by sycophants that reinforce his growing mental illness.

    Having our false perceptions of reality be reinforced will cause loss of touch with reality over long enough time frames, especially when our actions are devoid of material consequences, and certain stimuli just expedite the process.

    Though that isn’t to say there isn’t a huge correlation between brain damage and conservative belief, and that excessive use of drugs such as Alcohol, Cocaine and Cocoethanol, Nitrous Oxide, Alcohol, PCP, Meth and Ketamine causes significant brain damage.

    Guess just yapping but I see ketamine abuse in this case as something that would have made him hugely more susceptible for sure despite maybe not being the sole cause, as over a similar abuse time frame I also struggled with distortions of reality and occasionally mania - especially if stressed and combining with cocaine.



  • Because no Gen Z sees 50$k towards a house and is impressed. That offer alone shows such a ridiculous disconnect between the dems and the populace. Yes that would be beneficial for a very select minority of Gen Z, but for the vast majority.

    Not close to helpful, radical or on level to Trump’s promises (lies).

    They want sweeping change, they expect politicians to lie and embellish. If the politician offers something so minor when they are expected to embellish then the avg voter probably expects even less or nothing at all.

    At least significant promises can get people excited. Even if they are obvious lies to those paying attention. Sad reality is vast majority of people of any generation pay almost no attention whatsoever.

    I think people seeing her message might have helped. But the difference maker would have been a message people actually want to get behind. That would have spread organically.

    Now whether the DNC was cooked either way following the publics perception of Bidens term is another thing. But a strong message will always prevail - even if it is a lie.


  • It certainly was that obvious if you pay attention how we do, but don’t you see how blaming the populous takes this from an actionable problem to a less actionable one. ‘Improving’ the populace requires a concerted effort and time, both of which are lacking…

    Surely it would be better to blame the bullshit artists stirring the pot than the general public. That is, those who push the narrative so heavily in favour of the right regardless of the individual democrats actions. Those who intentionally undermine education and control information such that false narratives can prevail.

    But it is also naive to act like the DNC was entirely without fault. There can be multiple parties at fault. They need to meet people where they are at, otherwise they won’t get anywhere.




  • Thank you for the suggestions. Hasan has made huge progress for the left, he’s not perfect but he’s so far from a Zionist, he’s been the main target of the ADL for many months now, targeting him and his consistent anti-zionist attitude has been so important to the Zionist because they recognise how powerful having such a large voice speaking against them is. There’s a reason they’ve tried so heavily to deplatform him.

    You may not like him and he may not be perfect, but in terms of real influence he is clearly a powerful ally.

    Funnily enough I was exposed to Second Thought and Hakim through Hasan, I think he has been a return guest on there. I will check out MidwesternMarx. I’ve had people try to discredit Hasan by saying he is associated with Second Thought, so you can understand why I’m not likely to immediately succumb to divide and conquer tactics.




  • First gen leafs are almost 15 years old at this point, they, until the design change, didn’t include dedicated battery heating and cooling tech which is part of why their batteries didn’t last as long as later models.

    Any one newer than 2015 shouldn’t have these issues, and many have been retrofitted with newer batteries today. There are older gen Leafs still on the market however you just have to be mindful of the battery health, especially given they had much smaller batteries back then. If the health is low on one of those old batteries though you’ll be lucky to get 100km range, so the older first gens have limited use cases today.





  • There are many MAGA grifters with similarly confusingly contradictory identity going back to the start and the reality is that they’re there because capital interest outweighs all else.

    MAGA grifts seem incredibly lucrative, especially if you’re the sort of Milo Yionopolis, Clarence Thomas, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro ass, member of a group they’re not too fond off. I’m pretty sure MAGA grifts are the most lucrative social grift currently, it’s free money and the discourse drives the engagement so its a self feeding loop for an influencer or content creator, its self perpetuating in other ways too so if you start its not easy to stop.

    They also don’t care that they’re helping to do the things that they do because they believe the leopards won’t eat her face in the end because she was one of the good ones. Ofcourse bigots rarely make distinctions when riled up in to a frenzy, so they definitely could and likely will get facey eaten. But assuming she is actually getting paid, she will become ever more privileged in their new society than she would be in their new society without that money. But also, if she’s been privileged with wealth long enough she could align with wealth interests solely, and ignore (bewilderingly) all the other policys of MAGA.




  • The man himself is the sole person to have attempted to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Sometimes there are exceptions to the ‘don’t stoop to their level rule’, those times are usually life or death. Another Trump presidency would be catastrophic enough, purely going from his spoken intentions, to justify his murder an infinite number of times over.


  • Sounds cool, did you find any standout resources in the process about running nodes, and would you be willing to share if so? I last ran local when the chain was small enough to fit under a 32gb thumb drive lol

    Also if you don’t mind answering I had some questions:

    • What would the costs be involved generally with hosting a full node? Is it high in bandwidth costs?
    • Would ‘mining’ be an option for the device running the node?
    • How much can u expect to spend on an 16tb hdd to host the node?
    • Finally, all in, how much did it cost you to set up your node?
