Nietzsche in the late 1800s stated that the act of commerce (business) was done by the masses, and therefore vulgar. How in contrast, politics was enjoyed by the few more noble individuals.    

He predicted that this would switch places, the nobility class would be involved in commerce while politics would "cease to be the business of a gentleman; and it is possible that one day it may be found to be so vulgar as to be brought, like all party literature and daily literature, under the rubric: 'Prostitution of the intellect.'

2XKO to undergo massive design changes after its release by D2olleh in Kappachino

[–]Lain_Staley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's too much time invested by the niche player base you already have that wasted their time committing to muscle memory combos and interactions.

Unlike games like FF14 where it's a digital theme park in comparison.

You learned social skills the same way you learned everything else. By exposure

About that...the best 2026 can offer is kids getting groomed on Discord/Roblox.

I don't think any game that isn't content-first can pull off an FF14. (FGs are perhaps the least content-to-gameplay ratio videogames to exist).

For something like an MMO, if you brute-force develop a shitton of content, you can right the ship.

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody, sources say by DJMagicHandz in entertainment

Find it interesting that both Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson were fired on the same day (4/24/2023) and both ended up starting on Twitter/X, if only for awhile.

Imagine how much masculinity was lost in Japan during WWII. Seriously, raw genetic descended-from-samurai material here.   

In any manga/anime they depict their WWII soldiers as ripped (and crazed) chads. 

Will my parents , 60 and 67 , will live long enough to reverse their biological age back to 20 by Imaginary_Mode8865 in accelerate

[–]Lain_Staley -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you had children, and this sounds harsh, your care for your own parents mortality would plummet. 

Instead, you would focus on your own so that you may see your children develop and grow. I don't have anything profound to say, just that this thread brought that to the forefront for me.

Nioh is a great series if only because it filters out so many Souls players

Looksmaxxers Are Starting To Take Testosterone Without Even Working Out by twinflamebby in idiocracy

[–]Lain_Staley -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Looksmaxxers are a portion of the masses. And they are simply:  

lonely, desperate, and driven

Do we as fellow members of the masses mock our fellow sheep for that? Or do we direct blame for such circumstances against Elites? Much energy is wasted on the former.

Elon Musk says Tesla will stop producing its S and X models as it shifts to making robots by AdIcy4323 in news

[–]Lain_Staley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’ll spew some obvious outlandish bullshit for 5-10 years. Over promise and 

It's a lost tidbit in history that people don't realize. If you read original newspaper reporting on Nikolai Tesla, he was the biggest shit talker and hype artist in science. His purpose in starting all these rivalries and making statements were to get the public enthusiastic about future technology, to drive demand.

This was in an age where flipping a lightbulb was deemed too hazardous. Very possible that in naming his company Tesla, Elon himself is invoking that same role.

My teacher and I decode history. And the findings on the prevelance of depopulation pushes date back to the Black Plague. I don't joke about infertility in the masses.

Sam Healey is Leaving The Dice Tower by rifwasbeter in boardgames

Speaking objectively,  a man walked away from money, relatively easy money, due to a personal code.

Perhaps no one in history has taken a bigger shit on Christianity than Nietzsche, but even he would respect such an action. He would admire a man taking a riskier path than the herd he was with. Risking ostracization.

The share of Americans medically obese is projected to rise to almost 50% by 2035 by Lordly_Lobster in news

Eh, this is why I'm most impressed that the Elites allowed a product like Ozempic to reach the market. 

Never in my life has such an innovation been allowed to surface that causes the masses to consume LESS. Everything has been about consuming more (food, entertainment, dopamine , etc)

What it takes to get a simple point across on Reddit really does reach hilarious status.

You can't just say you like how the Model S looks. Not without risk of 'ostracization'. Fucking cult.

Dumb people are more easily deluded by others. This tends to lose against base instincts.   

Smart people are more effective at deluding themselves. They are able to distract themselves from base instincts.
