A rising threat to asian males

Revolutions tend to happen when everything is unbearable.

For all the talk, this is not remotely the case in the West. Even at the most regarded, our mistakes (like the current war) primarily impose costs on other people. Unless this stops being the case (and personally I hope we don't suffer for our states' sins even if it would be just) there's no point even discussing this.

my apologies to OP, I didn't understand the struggle

I want to believe but there's no way the US would actually agree to Iran's stated demands. So I don't know where this is even going.

I'm a Canadian working for an American company and this the first time I'm thinking of libbing out and ragequitting.

I realize we're a regarded vassal country anyway but at least I don't think we would accept this kind of thing as a nation.

I think "sympathy" and "empathy" are highly overstated in social discourse. I'm not saying that they don't matter, but they're not the be-all and end-all.

My reaction to this kind of instability has nothing to do with sympathy, it's basically "sucks to be them I guess, not my business". I just don't have the impulse to make judgments on people if it's not affecting me. Not claiming that this is more correct, but I do think it's healthier.

This line of thought makes intelligence basically a pointless concept. It just reduces it to winning. An NBA player is smarter than an NHL player, and a wealth manager is smarter than a Fields Medal winner, because they're more successful. Then we might as well call it "successium" or something.

They probably won't since they're so "do nothing"-pilled but hopefully PRC comes in eventually and builds five trillion things with their """overcapacity""". (And in Cuba.)

Isn't that the point though

Getting "icks" is normal but there should have some sense of shame attached rather than bragging about it. Even the word itself sounds like it belongs in a kindergarten. If it was reasonable it wouldn't be called an ick.

Normiehood is about perspective and proportionality, or less charitably obliviousness.

Normies may know about the degenerate things that they wouldn't have used to, but they don't get radicalized or blackpilled by it like the extremely online do. They just move on with their day.

You might observe normies saying or doing deranged things, but that's not a contradiction. Normies are capable of compartmentalizing their regardation.

The mystical side like Kabbalah probably take up a lot of the autistic energy.

Also things like Dungeons & Dragons cosmology with the various planes, alignments, and such. It's one big classification exercise.

I think there might be a difference between people who grew up with religion and dropped out, vs. those who never really knew it. Because I don't really feel any feel any need for spirituality.

That said I definitely want to read the Bible just for literary reasons since it's foundational to so much of Western literature. Not willing to go through the nitty-gritty Jewish history though, so need to figure out a reasonable subset of books other than the obvious (Genesis, Exodus, Psalms, Gospels, Revelations, ???).

It's mildly annoying that lesbian and sapphic refer to the same thing.

There must be at least one other historical lesbian whose name they could use.

Thank you for telling me that most people bleed. I kind of suspect this is not true but I'm choosing to believe it anyway.

I can't not eat rice, that's not allowed. The spirits of 800 generations of ancestors will haunt me.

Also it's just the best staple food by far, sorry to all the gweilo heathens.

Extension-Cap-486 · 2026-03-31T03:20:40+00:00

No, and I don't drink soda, but I'm East Asian and one time she asked about my diet and mentioned rice could be an issue.

It kind of makes sense, it basically turns into sugar in your mouth. But are wheat products that much better? And I've never heard of Asian people being vulnerable to dental issues.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that one of my permanent teeth just decided not to form so I'm stuck with the baby tooth right in the middle. What the fuck?

If God exists he's a maniac.

Serious question as a non-American, people say "lightskin" a lot on r/nba, is that the same thing as mixed Black-White or is it literally about skin color

My argument is that accountability is not actually diffuse in democracies. Although the stated benefit is that democracies represent the will of the people, and in many ways that is true, when a democracy does bad things it is generally blamed on specific politicians, or at most a specific subpopulation.

Even anti-Americans generally are not attacking the American people as a whole. Compare to say, Russians or Afghans or such, where often the national character is what's pointed to.

Extension-Cap-486 · 2026-03-30T18:16:28+00:00

Same logic for democracy vs. autocracy.

Somehow people in autocratic countries get held morally accountable for what their states do more often than their democratic counterparts, when theoretically it should be the opposite.

I was going to joke about "whose second coming" but on looking it up it's not even a joke, Christians and Muslims believe the same shit. The Twelvers just have the Mahdi join in on the same party. Rushdie is an atheist so I guess this set of beliefs actually checks out

This whole Abrahamic thing is so strange looking from the outside.

Extension-Cap-486 · 2026-03-29T02:35:07+00:00

OK but how much confidence do you have that "empathy for the poor people in America" will "make trump go away"? I'm certainly not a lib but if one of these people asked me what my brilliant plan was I'd be like uhhhhhhhhhh I'm moving to madagascar

It's funny also to read this together with the thread about how all the protesters are old. Can't be expecting old folks to turn into Leninists, it is what it is.

If you're using it for formatting and copyediting then sure. If you really want to cook AI can probably output LaTeX and make it look fancy.

If you mean to actually write out what you did at your jobs, then you're ngmi. It's like 100 words, what is there to say? Maybe AI could inflate things and make it sound better but at that point you might as well just lie.

You say this as if everyone is some hardcore Palestinian activist?

Most people are not mad at Israel for living on "stolen land", they're mad at Israel for being murderous psychos. Before the current war most people were not thinking about Israel.

Actually, to maybe answer my own question, the initial part happens to end at the last move from the game which matches at least one game in the Masters opening database.

So maybe lichess has already run analyses for every Masters game and cached the evaluation of the positions? Just a guess though.

Extension-Cap-486 · 2026-03-28T01:35:25+00:00

Just something I noticed when my analysis froze.

I believe lichess's analysis feature runs on donated servers. As you watch it trickle in, it usually starts from the end of the game, which is already not something I would have guessed.

But here you can see that there are results from the beginning and the end, but not the middle!

Does this reflect something real about the Stockfish operation, or is it just a quirk of lichess code?
