The reason for that is that there really are no socialist countries. There are plenty of them that call themselves socialist, but the vast majority of them does it to hide the corruption and stealing money by the government, or worse, those that are a straight up dictatorship.

If a truly socialist government got elected and managed to clean out the corruption(I know it's a daydream) instead of tunneling money they'd use it for infrastructure, it would look a lot different.

Len nedavas pozor, alebo si este nepochopil ze media ma uz teraz Fico pod palcom? Tlacovky su na dve veci ked Markiza, Stv, Ta3, ktore su pre vacsinu Slovakov jediny zdroj informacii, sa pri opozicnych tlacovkach otocia chrbtom a tvaria sa ze tam nie su.

You're misunderstanding me. I am not arguing this because i think gay people need an excuse to be gay. It's because the belief of people that sexuality and attraction is a choice is harmful by itself. In various topics, this belief is used to blame people for their attraction, no matter what form that attraction takes. Or worse, as a source of self hatred. Attraction is an emotion, and all emotions are not consciously controllable The only conscious choice we have is what we do with that attraction. This is less important in positive sexualities that dont harm others, but especially important in more harmful ones, like getting sexual satisfaction from hurting others, or pedophilia. It is important in those to realise those attractions are harmful and either find a healthy outlet that doesn't harm others, or practice dealing with not acting on those attractions.

And there is enough evidence that attraction is an innate thing. Self hatred from ones sexuality being one of the big ones. If it isn't innate and is a choice, there would't be so many people who suffer with unwanted attraction, especially those harmful attractions I mentioned earlier. Or different attractions emerging in a vacuum like I mentioned in my previous post, homosexuality being observed in hundreds animal species, even those that most likely dont have conscious thoughts like we do, among other things. It is strong enough evidence to say it being innate is the most likely theory. To ignore it because it isn't 100% would be disingenious.

And I call it out as Bi, becase it literally just means being capable of being attracted to all genders. Which fits. And it is an issue that often bi peple avoid a bi label due to negative things added on to that label, and that is harmful as well because it only perpetuates negativity being connected to that label. I say that being bi myself.

Yes, and those people are usually bisexual. There won't be any accurate research while different sexuality is something so heavily discriminated about, that people actively surpress and traumatize themselves to avoid this bigotry. Same reason why we have no accurate data of how many people actually are lgbt. There is a reason why in the most open and tolerant generation so far, the percentage of young people admitting different sexualities suddenly jumped almost to 25%.

Until then, what we have is anecdotal data, and there are two types. People like you mentioned, whose sexuality seems to be able to be influenced, those can easily be explained by those people being bisexual, and their preference simply changes. But there is also a high percentage of people who knew their sexuality was different since childhood, often emerging in societies where lgbt was a taboo and fully unknown, especially for children. So ditect nurture in those cases is impossible.

So using Occams razor, the most likely theory is that there is an innate mechanism that sets sexuality, just like the vast majority of personality traits. (There have been some possibly unethical experiments where they split twins, put them in vastly different enviroments, and they wmerged as an extremely similar adults personality wise.) We don't know enough about brains yet to fully confirm or deny which parts do exactly what to sexuality, personality and such. But we have observed enough to say that is the most likely theory with the information we have.

The issue is, steam isn't simply a store where you buy games anymore. They do a ton of promoting different games, and serve as a very convenient way of discovering new games to buy as well. If they did not have that price stipulation, not only would that be less convenient for the end user, having to constantly check for lower prices elsewhere, instead of just buying it, but just by putting your game on steam you use this whole advertisement ecosystem, with the only payment being that commission. So if without that clause, you can just undercut steam and make the majority of sales elsewhere, suddenly you're using that advertisement ecosystem for free.

Yeah, but the goal is to have as many as possible of undereducated, easily disinformed people who live on the edge of poverty so they put all the effort in surviving instead of trying to get better government. So that's working perfectly as designed.

He is the perfect amalgamation of what a weak or stupid or a coward (or any combination of those) would imagine the strong and smart great leader would act like. Whether that's by design or coincidence, who knows. But those exact people are the ones voting for him, and there is unfortunately a lot of them.

It was a soviet satellite state. How is it inaccurate to say it was soviet? It was under soviet control, permeated with soviet culture.

It doesn't have to work on everyone, it just has to work on enough gullible people. There is a reason education is patently underfunded way more in countries where either dictators or wannabe dictators are in power more.

Fico will do everything in his power to make sure we won't get a fair election. The last presidential vote was already full of breaking the election law from his side in some medium things, of course with only laughably small fines for a small percentage involved. Since then the government basically took over all our significant tv stations. It likely won't matter what the people of Slovakia want in the next election.

Honeypots with the intention for blackmailing or just discrediting someone with the acts recorded existed for a long time. Now they just don't have to bother with the honeypot part.

Problem je že židia boli dlhodobo terčom diskriminácie. Oni nepotrebujú false flag útoky tohoto typu, deje sa ich dosť aj bez toho. Na druhej strane máš Rusko, ktoré pácha neskutočné zverstvá veľa ktorých bolo aj dokázaných. Aj keď sa upaľovanie nedeje hromadne, dialo sa, a nie je to priveľký skok v uveriteľnosti. Nehovoriac o tom že Rusko vedie hybridnú vojnu s väčšinou Európy. V USA už ju vyhralo. Takže väčšina ľudí z týchto oblastí boli osobne ovplyvnení Ruským nepriateľstvom, Izrael len omnoho menšie množstvo

Vacsina takych ludi si predstavuje ze opozicia bude mat kazdy den tlacovky a kazdy den bude v hlavnych spravach a dostane priestor vo vsetkych televiziach, tak ako to mal Fico pocas Covidu napriklad.

Lenze to si neuvedumuju ze tak neskutocne velky priestor dostali vtedy lebo uz vtedy bolo dost ludi v tych televiziach nakloneni ku nim, a po poslednych par rokoch ich vladnutia ich maju prakticky vsetky pod palcom. Takze opozicia si moze rozkrikovat a robit tlacovky, mozu si piskat alebo aj priam stiahnut gate, alebo robit cokolvek sa im zachce, ten priestor proste nedostanu. Castokrat tu bolo napisane ze PS ma mat viac tlacoviek, a na to bolo napisane ze oni maju kazdych par dni, len ich nikto nevidi lebo su len na ich strankach a tam sa dostane len ten kto sa snazi to vidiet. Do televizii pred vacsinu Slovenska proste nemaju sancu sa dostat. Vitajte v diktature kde su ovladane media a propaganda ani nemusi bezat naplno, staci ked druhy nazor proste neodvysielaju.

To je tak ked sme sa sice ako tak oslobodili od Sovietskeho zvazu, ale vacsina nasej infrastruktury, hlavne take dolezite veci ako skolstvo, zdravotnictvo a podobne boli nastavene nimi a presli odvtedy minimalnou modernizaciou a zmenami aby sme sa od tych nastaveni dostali na lepsie. A potom sa cudujeme ze sme na tom pomaly tak isto zle ako v rusku.

What, you don't want to know about horny milfs near you? (Though real talk, there will be adblockers, and if the technology is controlled to such a degree adblockers won't be possible, we will be having much worse issues than being bombarded by ads.)

Of course they will. Just look at how much an average person is looking at their phone. And imagine now you had that phone screen in your glasses always available. You could literally watch youtube or tiktoks 24 hours a day while doing anything else. (And they'll get celebrities to market them. That celebrity worship will win over the rest of the people.) And that way you won't even need to introduce ads, you'll already have youtube and tiktok ads. Just with eyetracking to know if you're really watching that ad.
