This thing where liberals have uncontrollable audible outbursts whenever they hear something they disagree with really needs to be studied. What in the world is going on there? I’m being totally serious. I’m not trying to make fun of anybody here or just saying something snarky. It’s very strange the way they audibly gasp whenever they hear something with which they disagree. I’ve never once heard a conservative do this. Go watch an Ann Colter video from 20 years ago where she speaks to a liberal college audience. They literally cannot sit still and listen to somebody say something with which they disagree. Nervous laughter, audible moans and groans, literal gasps. And every other speaker who goes up to the mic feels compelled to ask her, “do you really believe what you’re saying? I mean, is this a bit or do you really believe it?” Again, I’m not trying to be funny or snarky here. It’s very weird how just one political faction does this.

Yup. I saw it in New England; when Billy Evans said retorted to Seyfriend that yes, he did like Kirk, the audience gasped, some people laughed incredulously, etc. It was THE BIGGEST REACTION the *entire* film got

Claude Code just found proof that every app on your phone is listening to your conversations. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat. they're using what you say out loud to build your feed. i have the data to prove it. i've suspected this for months but last week something happened that made me finally check. i was on a call with my friend and told him i'm thinking about breaking up with my girlfriend. didn't text it. didn't search it. just said it out loud with my phone on the table. two hours later she opens TikTok next to me and her entire feed is breakups. "signs your relationship is over." "how to heal after a breakup." she looked at me and said "why is TikTok showing me this." i said i don't know. but i did know. i connected my iPhone to my MacBook and ran Claude Code that same night. it scanned every app's background microphone activity for the last 90 days. not just the apps that asked for microphone permission. apps that were supposed to only have access to photos or location but were activating the microphone anyway. what it found: → TikTok activated the microphone 347 times while the app was "closed" in the background → Instagram → 211 background activations → Facebook → 189 → Snapchat → 94 every activation lasted between 3 and 15 seconds. enough to catch a sentence. every one of them tagged a keyword and cached it locally on the phone with a timestamp. Claude Code pulled the full keyword cache: → "breakup" — tagged 4 hours before her feed changed → "moving out" — from a conversation with my mom last Tuesday → "wedding venue" — from a call with my sister about her engagement that i never searched once → "protein powder" — said it out loud to my roommate, had ads for it within an hour → "flight to tokyo" — mentioned it at dinner, saw travel ads the same night those keywords were sitting in a local cache on my phone organized by app with timestamps. TikTok had the most entries. Instagram was second. every single keyword matched a conversation i had out loud near my phone. the scariest one was "wedding venue." my sister told me she's getting engaged on a private call. i never searched it. never typed it. within a day my explore page had engagement rings and venue tours. then Claude Code checked a second phone in the same room. my girlfriend's. same keywords. same timestamps. both phones were picking up the same conversation and tagging it independently. i asked Claude Code how to shut it down. it mapped every app's microphone access and built a permission audit. what i did: → revoked microphone access from every app that doesn't need it to function → disabled background app refresh for TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat → turned off "Hey Siri" which keeps the microphone in passive listening mode 24/7 → revoked "nearby interaction" permission which uses ultrasonic audio between devices Claude Code confirmed all four apps lost background microphone access after the changes. i checked her phone too. same steps. took about 3 minutes per phone. within 48 hours both our feeds went completely random. generic content. nothing personal. nothing from our conversations. that's when i knew for sure it was real. the full step by step and the prompt are in the first reply. takes 3 minutes. save it so you don't lose it and send it to anyone who's ever said "my phone is definitely listening to me." it is. now you can prove it and shut it down.

Irvine has the highest parkland percentage of any city in America (33%), and the 60,000 acres of the Irvine Ranch permanently preserved as part of the Irvine Master Plan is the biggest preserve in America and larger than many national parks. The value of developing that land stretching from the Santa Ana mountains and down to Irvine's vassal cities, Laguna and Newport Beach, is worth more than the GDP of a median European nation, and still was instead nobly preserved for wildlife (not even open to tourist hikercels) by the Irvine Company's masterful stewards. America is the greatest nation in the world, beloved by God, and California is God's blessed state, and Southern California is why God loves California, visible in its sun, God's Country, and when God comes to Southern California, he goes directly to Orange County, the heart of Southern California, and when he comes to Orange County, he goes directly to Irvine, the secret throne of Orange County, and the center of the world.

Irvine resident - 1983-1992 and 2018-Present. I agree with a lot of what you laid forth but I also have another perspective. There is a vibrational frequency and the possibility to connect with nature that is unique if you look for it and embrace the wierdness.

The reason to threaten Musk is to terrify anyone who would even think of opposing these people. If they can take out the world's richest man and our greatest contemporary industrialist, then just think what they can do to you and to the average Jane and Joe. We must stop them.
On the Bulwak podcast, Kara Swisher says Elon might already be in jail under Kamala Harris, and "he knows what's coming for him." Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file: "If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him." "So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list." "He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard." They're all just saying this stuff out loud now. There are no secrets about what they want to do.

startups, here's enterprise decoded ... 1. 'circle back' = dead 2. 'get it done asap' = within 90 days 3. 'send me what I can share internally' = 3 bullets 4. 'this is exciting' = let me play a role in shaping this for us internally 5. 'send me your paper' = i will send you mine back 6. 'how much time is needed' = 30min OR less 7. 'I will bring my boss' = I expect a match in seniority 8. 'no questions from my side" = I have no idea what just happened 9. 'this price seems fair' = this falls below what I had budgeted 10. 'give me time' = stop following up

Because the Boomer Holy War, otherwise known as the Second World War, is the creation myth, the biblical Genesis, of the political world order we inhabit. History begins in 1945, Year Zero, when the Allied and Axis powers, the cosmic forces of absolute Good and Evil, clashed for dominion over the world. What we call “Western Values” are the liberal American values of the postwar order: unregulated global capitalism, liberal democracy, individualism, civil rights, and equality. Three generations of men have been indoctrinated into this cult, which is ultimately a secularized heresy of Aristotelian humanist Christianity, repackaged as a universal moral doctrine. Hitler has assumed the role of Satan, while some grotesque amalgamation of Winston Churchill and Martin Luther King Jr. occupies the throne of Jesus Christ. The Nazis are the defeated legions of Hell, and the Holocaust is the ultimate revelation of Evil against which all subsequent political and moral questions must be judged. You’re not allowed to have nice things like community, traditional families, immigration restrictions, or any meaningful sense of national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity as a White person because any deviation from the sacred doctrines of the postwar consensus threatens to bring about Holocaust 2. To believe in any of these is to practice heresy. Racism is the ultimate heresy, and White guilt is origin sin, without a path to atonement. The further removed each generation becomes from 1945, the weaker its attachment to this haphazard, pseudo religious worldview grows. In 13 years, an entire century will have passed since the outbreak of the Second World War. The moralizing about the Holocaust, the obsessive fixation on stopping identity politics among native Westerners, the relentless insistence on feminism, diversity, and the ideological apparatus of the postwar order will resemble the exhausted dogmas of a dying secular religion whose founding revelation has lost its power over the living. This is obvious as the materialistic promise of infinite growth and wealth has failed, and mass immigration, diversity and the third world are an existential threat to westerners who have no socioeconomic opportunities and a poor shot at family for formation.
Genuine question, why do normies get vehemently angry over racism?
