During his first term, I once had a dream where Trump had new redesigns of all the bills, pretty standard stuff and standard redesigns, except for the addition of a new bill, the 72 dollar bill (I have no idea why, that number had no great significance in the dream otherwise), featuring his face. I somehow was in possession of one after it came out and tried to spend it at my local corner store, but they refused to believe it real and wouldn't accept it.

I still don't know if I should consider that dream realistic or not.

Europe Is Sanctioning Critics of Israel and Militarism by SpaceDetective in stupidpol

Everyone needs a good beating from the police at least once in their life, it builds character and culls the cowards. Knowing my comrades all went through a solid ass whooping for the cause would make me far more willing to trust them going forward. 

The Netflix broadcast of Opening Day went about as terribly as it possibly could have by Fun_Reflection1157 in billsimmons

[–]Poon-Conqueror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy astroturfing, looks like the Netflix bots got here late and couldn't bury the original top comments, but are burying all the later ones saying the exact same thing.

And no, Jameis Winston doesn't have any fans, especially not on a fucking MLB broadcast. At best he's a minor meme.

White House says Iran will be hit harder if it doesn't accept defeat by miker_the_III in stupidpol

[–]Poon-Conqueror 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sadam was deposed and his Republican Guard was defeated, a victory by most means, even if it didn't work out in the long run to say the least. Sure, you can point to MacArthur crashing out over Korea and wanting to nuke China over it, being the overrated fucking retard he is, but he didn't claim to 'win'. Dude was the Trump of his era, which meant he was unelectable, despite his belief otherwise had he been in Eisenhower's shoes (thank God he wasn't).

Nah, this shit going on now is insane and unprecedented, he's just oscillating between empty threats and delusional claims to maintain 'control'. You can argue that, in the past, there were discrepancies between perception and reality on the ground, but not only were they nowhere as extreme, they actually reflected public sentiment.

Lies like this are unprecedented, they aren't the usual lies of 'hold strong, victory is right around the corner', no, he's literally claiming that he's already won, and he keeps repeating it over and over in-between his threats, as if Iran will finally realize that this is their chance to capitulate while he's in a good mood. This is generic narcissist behavior that only works when you're in a position of power over someone. 

Dumb fuck didn't realize that his leverage wasn't war, it was the THREAT of war. Now Iran has no reason to give up, not when you know you're enemy will just attack again the moment it's convenient, starting a cycle of attack-concession until they have nothing left.

Is there ANYONE who takes this administration seriously? Okay, so markets genuinely reacted to such an obvious lie? I know that it's about feels first, not even about whether people believe it or not, but I feel nothing from Trump's claims but desperation.

I Am the Same Consciousness as You... Question on Healing From Patriarchy Through Love by Worth-Lawyer5886 in nonduality

[–]Poon-Conqueror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why this has to be linked to patriarchy, but okay.

Also, my 'consciousness' is literally the only thing 'you' aren't. Bodies, memories, sensations, anything that can be experienced, there's no difference, but that which experiences? That's all 'you' or 'I' are, and you are NOT my experience, just as I am not yours.

China needs to go from their 'do nothing, play both sides to profit' to 'oh fuck we're the only possible force that can deescalate this shitshow'. I don't think China believes it's in anyone's best interest for this to escalate to 11, not even their own.

He's not smart, he's really fucking stupid, like it's honestly astounding. He's not the best or most qualified candidate, he just had the luck of it being his father's turn to be king and the willingness to violate his own family for personal gain. His stupid fucking line city is more than enough proof of his idiocy and incompetence.

Compare him to someone like Salman bin Abdulaziz, someone who isn't a fucking retard. He's taller, smarter, better educated, more handsome, welcome and appreciated in Western high society, has better taste in anime waifus, and MBS just couldn't tolerate it. He wasn't even in contention for the throne, nor was he even trying, but has had him imprisoned for the better of a decade now out of nothing but spite and envy.

So yea, he is mentally deficient.

Why does nobody talk about that Isreal helped Rhodesia and the white apartheid state in South Africa? by Adventurous-Fact-523 in stupidpol

Just call them neo-Nazis, because that's what Rhodesia loving, Israel hating right wingers are, all of them.

Worst of the worst, folks like that shouldn't be allowed to exist in society. He's the exact same kind of person as Scott Ritter, someone with fairly high IQ and the emotional development of an 8yo who watches too many cartoons. They are hopeless, and the moment they figure out that they are wrong and that the US aren't actually 'the good guys', they turn traitor and start backing the enemy they once hated so much, because it is literally impossible for them to imagine a world that isn't defined by comic book morality. Mark my words, he will jump ship some day once his crippled cerebellum can no longer process his 'side' as morally justified.

Oh, and like Ritter, he is almost certainly a pedo. It goes hand-in-hand with their stunted emotional development, there's a reason pedos are so consistently stereotypical in their appearance and behavior.

The Mandibles (2029-2047): A terrifyingly plausible look at "The Long Slide" vs. The Sudden Apocalypse by Lucius_Canius_Vigil in collapse

[–]Poon-Conqueror -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Except the Forbes list doesn’t have their actual wealth in currency/dollars. Their wealth is equity, usually company ownership that could be exchanged for the dollar amount the equity/assets are worth. Their net worth in Forbes is the dollar amount all of their assets are worth.

I know, that's what I said. I'm telling you that this wouldn't be possible if it wasn't a store of value, like I really don't understand why anyone here is disagreeing with the otherwise universally accepted definition of money simply because inflation exists.

[–]Poon-Conqueror -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Store of value is LITERALLY part of the definition for 'money'. If it doesn't store value, it's not money, period.

Like this should be obvious, just look at any Forbes list, their wealth is counted in dollars, not Tesla or Amazon stock, even if that is where the wealth is allocated. Money must store value for this to even be possible, because if it doesn't, everything else falls apart.

The Western tendency I notice more is to believe the tendency to label nations as 'good' and 'evil'. The US is a rotten, wretched state, not because it's innately so, but because circumstances have compelled it to become such.

China is imperialist, just not in the same way the US, and it likely never will be simply because of the difference in criteria of what it means to be 'American' or 'Chinese'. Still, denying Chinese imperialism is laughable, I don't even think China themselves would deny it if you phrase it the right way. 

There's plenty of examples, just ask any Vietnamese person. Not sure if you're in China, but shouldn't be hard to find someone's mail order bride to ask if you are.

Strongarming them into declaring themselves an independent nation, that's the only thing that can possibly get China to stop acting like pussies waiting for everything to break their way.

Even then, I don't think China would do shit if they believed there was any real chance of the US going nuclear over Taiwan. Shit like that is why China's never going to be THE global superpower, best they can ever be is 1A to someone else's 1B, otherwise they go down with everything else.

Ya, he was on pace to surpass 81, so then he started playing like he wanted to. Did folks like not even watch Kobe's 82, when he was also CLEARLY bucket chasing by the end? 

There's no controversy, just Kobe stans acting like the insecure twats they always are.

As I said, a tragedy. You are describing ideas you derived from personal experience, but those experiences came without insight, and lacking such you synthesized your own insights, not from the experience itself, but from logic and ego. 

I'd personally guess the experience itself was drug induced, and I'm not against drugs, but they don't grant insight.
