Videogames
Was spielen sie?
I am thinking about starting a new game in either Vintage Story (autistic minecraft clone started by an Austrian IIRC) and Workers and Resources which should need no introduction, it's the best city builder ever made.
I'm undecided on which, I already own both.
What if, purely hypocritically, one soldier who got transferred to a rear unit recently and got a vacation, chose not to return to his unit and just stayed living in his freshly renovated apartment treading carefully outside only early in the morning or late at night? Would it be feasible? Hypothetically of course.
This guy probably had no internet presence whatsoever. No images of his face, no mentions of his name. A ghost online. And now? His name is going to show up forever, with pictures of his face and mentions of his online history. Along with videos of his house and family and details of his living situation. Publicized to the masses and impossible to remove.
This is something from my nightmares and I experience severe paranoia at times thinking that I could get exposed and humiliated like this.
I found this post on Reddit. A substitute teacher, from Sweden, wrote about how technology is negatively impacting the youth and their ability to perform in school. Here's the original post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/112u7m5/kan_vi_prata_om_hur_den_digitala_v%C3%A4rlden_p%C3%A5verkar/
Rough translation:
> I have worked as a substitute teacher for over a year in middle schools and high schools. I am extremely concerned and in some cases shocked over how big of a difference there is compared to my own school years. I'm born in the mid 90s so I'm fully integrated into the digital world. The difference is I didn't have a smart phone or any social medias until I was in upper secondary school.> * Students today (especially boys) have an awfully hard time concentrating. Many students (including those without a diagnosis) can't even do the simplest of tasks without being directly instructed by the teacher. If a math task takes more than 15 seconds, they need to take a phone break after 7 seconds (not an exaggeration). I've had high school students that can't handle reading 1/3 of an A4 paper with instructions, and these are students without a learning disorder.> * It's not unusual to have students that are completely disconnected from social life. I've had several students with autism (in multiple schools) that are allowed to sit with their laptops and headphones during class. And during recess. And during briefings, basically the entire day. These students are so fragile that they can't handle the social pressure of sitting in a classroom without a screen in front of them. Yes, autistic students have always existed - but back in the day there was no digital world to escape to. I have no idea how these students will be able to handle an adult life.> * Nowadays there are truants in basically every other class. Normal male (usually) students that simply can't handle the pressure of school and instead live their digital lives at home.> I'm not an expert in this field and don't have a relevant degree. But something is very wrong here. The only solution I can think of is some kind of nuclear strike approach:> * Ban smartphones in all schools (translation note: he's specially referring "grundskola", there isn't a good translation for the word that I know of, but basically he means until you're 15-16)> * Remove student laptops/Chromebooks. Have computer labs instead (students in 8th and 9th grade can have laptops)> * Remove all games/social media that exist on wifi (there are dozens of blocklists online)> Needed to get this off my chest, something is extremely wrong with the current system.
Additional comment from OP:
> Many high school students can barely write complete sentences in Swedish without rough grammatical errors and English loan words. Internet usage has without a doubt negatively impacted Swedish proficiency among students.
Other users in the comment section also paint a dire situation:
> Us 90s kids played Counter-Strike all day on our personal computers in upper secondary school and we still managed because we understood it was just a game/not reality.> Nowadays it feels totally hopeless when they are so connected to the digital world that they forget reality exists. I have a cousin that is almost 18 that doesn't have any diagnosis but has spent every day for the past 5 years at home. She blames this on her being "depressed" (despite the fact that doctors have said that she isn't, it's just an excuse that works). Her parents won't do anything about it because she gets mad if she doesn't get to sit in front of the computer 20 hours a day, and she hasn't even begun attending upper secondary school.
In America we have a large shortage of housing so developers buy land in the cities and plan to build nice housing on it.
But leftists in the cities actually block the construction of new apartments because they're "not affordable enough". Therefore the shortage of housing gets worse and the cost of housing goes up even more.
Pic related is a massive development in a sparse areas of New York City, slated to have thousands of apartments and public green spaces. But the leftist city councilor of Queens killed it because it only had 25% affordable housing and she demanded 45%.
Basically leftists demand the building have so many public giveaways that it can't be profitable so the building never gets built. They're scared of "gentrification" so they actively work to make their neighborhoods shittier.

I'm actually amazed at how leftists themselves are the ones killing walkable cities and transit.
If you want funding for transit, you need to let people build nice apartments in the city so you have net tax contributors funding infrastructure.

Bonobos and chimps can and do mate and produce fertile offspring yet they are considered separate species. Same goes for hooded crows and carrion crows and many other pairs or groups of species. Whites and niggers have measurably reduced fertility together as compared to Whites couples. Furthermore, Whites are not fertile at all with chimpanzees while niggers and chimps are capable of producing offspring together.

It's so surreal that I share this board with 1st world sissies who don't know what poverty and war are. In my eyes you aren't adults. I can't take your constant whining seriously. Shut the fuck up, you know nothing, you haven't lived

You can become dead inside, and this is common for people that have endured terrible trauma. But it is not ubiquitous in people that have been through terrible suffering and being surrounded by death. It is important to maintain the capacity to care, to not die inside.
That is what makes life worth living.

Anyways congrats for making the best fap investment of your live. Your synapses are gonna get fried.
War is the purpose of Man. But men were not prepared for the advances in technology that made war much more brutal than in the past. Men were not prepared for the world wars. After them, war was replaced by sports and now video games. But those are poor substitutes for the real vocation of men: war.
The world wars were good, but men were not good enough for them. Man must evolve, become super man, so the times of war return. The same technology that made men unfit for today's wars, can make men into super men, therefore returning the world to the good times? Genetic engineering, robotics, neural implants, can make men stronger, faster, smarter, more tolerant to pain. By hacking men, we can return the world to the good old times.

I also go to toilet to shit and play factorio building factories and read books about scifi aliums and mathematics. Doesn't mean shitting or building factories or contacting aliums is man's purpose. Being good at war is beneficial but so is being a good cook or regular jogging. These are purely utilitarian values that are good and enjoyable (thanks to evolution making most beneficial activities enjoyable) to pursue but arent the end goal or the purpose.
The purpose of man, if there's any, is to SURVIVE (short term) and let the genes and memes you carry pass into the future (long term). Being better at war helps that, but engaging in it at all is actually harming your survival/propagation chances.
nope, romania is the brownest country on earth, especially mentally
its like with the speed of light, others can approach it but never actually reach it. that's also why all gypsies are romanians, as they achieve the same brownness level
