2019-05-07 at 5:42 PM UTC in Should I feel shame because my last an hero attempt didnt workNow you just thought you were trying to kill your self?
You are destroying yourself every day. Your eye is messed up, probably for life. You have rhabdo from your drug use. God only knows the amount of brain damage you’ve gotten from seizures or just the actual drugs. You’re young and look like an old guy who’s had a stroke.
Listen, I don’t know you, but I’ve read enough to know a bit. You need to figure out what makes you do this shit and deal with it. I doubt that will happen, so you will continue to destroy your brain till you are comatose. Ya know a vegetable for life.
Sorry man, but the shit you stoop to for a fuckin buzz is ridiculous. -
2019-05-07 at 11:53 AM UTC in ID'S HAPPENING! RECESSION IN CHINER
Originally posted by Sudo Australia is unique in the regard that the only places anybody gets houses are along the coast and IIRC predominantly in nsw or Victoria. There are two territories that are irrelevant out of 5 (western aus, which only has perth and tazmania) and I don't remember the last one.
that's not so much a peculiarity of the housing market as it is just weird population distribution and poor planning. All major cities are rising in terms of price/cost of living, but yeah Sydney and Melbourne are by far the worst.I know someone whose an economist in Australia who works predominantly with the urban housing market and I believe sees Australia as a kind of guinea pig for neo liberal policy.
yeah that's pretty accurateCould be a lot worse. Aus is just going to get more inflated as foreign investment trickles in even though they have some kinda clever and dickish policies to keep it out
It will get a lot worse because the situation is significantly more complicated than that. It basically boils down to policy being dictated to benefit people who already own 'investment properties' because the bulk of the Australian economy comes from FIRE and education (lol) and relies on constant growth in those sectors.
What that means in practice is that the government constantly works to boost real estate prices and property values, and they already have to the point where in many areas there aren't enough domestic buyers with the capital to keep the market afloat. As a result, Australia NEEDS foreign buyers (largely Chinese) to keep the bubble from bursting, but at the same time wants to prevent (or at least wants to appear to prevent) large swathes of the country being sold off to foreign interests.
It's absolutely not sustainable and comes from the same place many of these problems do - the government prioritising economic growth over quantifiable benefits to its people. -

2019-05-06 at 9:10 PM UTC in Rabbis praise Hitlerhttps://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201905051074724787-rabbis-recorded-endorsing-hitler-arab-slavery/
An Israeli media outlet has released a series of undated recordings, in which two rabbis from a West Bank religious academy can be heard praising slavery, defending Adolf Hitler’s ideology and making racist comments while speaking about jedi supremacy.
In a recording published by Channel 13 news, Rabbi Eliezer Kashtiel, the head of the Bnei David pre-military academy in the settlement of Eli in the West Bank, is telling a class that being a “slave to a jedi is the best”:
“The gentiles will want to be our slaves. Being a slave to a jedi is the best. They’re glad to be slaves, they want to be slaves. Instead of just walking the streets and being stupid and violent and harming each other, once they’re slaves, their lives can begin to take shapes”, Kashtiel said as cited by Channel 13.
According to the media outlet, the rabbi goes as far as to claim that Arabs want to “be under the occupation” due to what he described as “genetic problems” and promotes jedi superiority.
“All around us, we are surrounded by peoples with genetic problems. Ask a simple Arab ‘where do you want to be?’ He wants to be under the occupation. Why? Because they have genetic problems, they don’t know how to run a country, they don’t know how to do anything. Look at them. Yes, we’re racists. We believe in racism… There are races in the world and people have genetic traits, and that requires us to try to help them. The jedis are a more successful race”.
In another video from the batch, Rabbi Giora Redler can be heard openly saying that Adolf Hitler was the most “correct person there ever was” during a lesson on the Holocaust and lamenting that the Fuhrer was simply “on the wrong side”.
“Let’s just start with whether Hitler was right or not. He was the most correct person there ever was, and was correct in every word he said… he was just on the wrong side. The real Holocaust was not when they murdered the jedis, that’s not it. All these excuses – that it was ideological or systematic – are nonsense. Humanism and the secular culture of ‘We believe in man’, that’s Holocaust”, Redler said, according to Channel 13.
They make a good point in a way. People that are so anti-hitler cannot actually quote the guy most of the time. They say stupid shit like "durrr dur he said he hates da jooz n they should b destroyed durrr"
I mean, jedis tend to have a higher average IQ, and most are already part German (ashkenazi). Germans also have one of the highest IQ averages. -
2019-05-06 at 5:47 PM UTC in I got suspended from work.3 days off...
All because I wrote on the paperwork that one of the operators was a sad, pathetic, fucking bitch who would benefit from some re-education and a work camp.
Apparently I am not allowed to call fucking bitches "fucking bitches".

When I worked for Compaq I traveled a lot all over the US...training our various partners mostly which generally took multiple trips too because they were dumb Americans.
Then Back before I moved to the USA I had various jobs/interests that involved a lot of travel etc, examples: I worked for an air charter broker that did a lot of Air ambulance work and also flew the rich and famous around in private jets etc...then there was the 6 months I worked as a laborer/maintenance guy at an Antarctic scientific base (for which I had to pass a very extensive psychological examination first) and of course the 6 week motorcycle trip across the Sahara for a popular UK motorcycle magazine story/article...though sadly that was canceled a week before it was to take place as the guy driving the backup/support vehicle broke his leg... not to mention my sporting activities and travels resulting from my Cycling, Swimming and Speed Skating activities.
Of course now I'm old I just sit at this desk all day and reflect on the full life I've lived. -

2019-05-05 at 10:40 PM UTC in Got into a fightJackie and I went out last night to see one of our friends theatrical preformances, after that we went to an after party and there were these two dudes that are bad news, they were talking about how their going to find a girl to drug and use at this party. Towards the end of the party I was outside with jackie and they came out and were talking to us but were getting increasingly agressive and maniacal. I ent up telling them we're gonna head off, and one of them pulls a knife out saying I can leave but she's staying and I say "fuck that, come get some faggot" he comes at me with the knife and I wrestle him to the broke his finger or at least sprained it getting the knife out of his hand and he friend comes and kicks me in the face, luckily my friend carter heard the commotion and came out and we fought the two guys off, but I was in a daze and bleeding a lot and someone called the ambulance.
Ent up getting stiches in my right ear and in my right eyebrow And my collar bone is proken. They gave me two shots of morphine but then just scripted me 12 t'3's. So I'm eating those now and just chilling smoking a bowl.

2019-05-05 at 6:21 PM UTC in African Swine Fever Outbreak in China - Intentional Attack?In short, there was an African Swine Fever outbreak in Eastern China (Near the North Korean border) which has spread like wildfire over the last six months. It was first detected in a pig farm in Shenbei housing around 400 pigs, infecting 47 with a 100% kill rate, mostly inside of 7 days. It's since spread rapidly to 23 other provinces, possibly more given that some farmers have been found to be hiding infections to stop embargoes and/or purges of their livestock.
China's pork production sector is huge, with an estimated 700 million pigs destined for both (primarily) domestic consumption and the export market, and the current outbreak has chopped around 200 million off of annual production, driving prices up and forcing China to import from other sources to satisfy domestic demand.
If the infection and spread of African Swine Fever among Chinese farms was intentional, it serves several geopolitical goals.
Primarily, crippling Chinese pork production forces them to seek foreign exporters to satisfy domestic demand; the US being one of the few exporters with the capacity to make it up. There's currently an embargo after China applied tariffs to US pork in the ongoing trade war though, so in order to import US pork, China would be forced to negotiate new trade agreements based on Trump's trade deficit complaints. Given the urgency of the Chinese requirements, the US would have the upper hand in negotiations and could likely pursue other demands such as ongoing demands regarding US 'intellectual property' and copyright enforcement in China.
Secondarily, the epicenter of the infection is close to the North Korean border - if it does (or for that matter, has) spread into North Korea, it would be devastating to local food production. Pigs are their primary livestock for domestic consumption, and given existing sanctions and trade embargoes, they have little recourse but to cave in to US demands if their food source is further decimated. It's worth noting that it's impossible to know if NK has been affected as their state media would not disclose it unless forced to.
There are several reasons to suspect biowarfare, specifically initiated in this case by the CIA. First and foremost are the outcomes above - no other state stands to gain so much from the decimation of the Chinese pork industry, especially during the US-Chinese 'trade war'. Secondarily this is the first time there's been a significant outbreak of ASF in Asia, again calling the timing into question. Third and most interestingly, the CIA has a history of using ASF as a weapon.
Back in 1971, during the cold war, Cuba suffered an outbreak of ASF which led to the destruction of around 500,000 pigs and the decimation of their entire pork production industry. It was declared an international crisis and a mystery as to how the native-African virus (which had previously only spread to Europe through contaminated meat products) appeared in South America. Several months later, an anonymous source within the CIA came forward and reported to the San Francisco Chronicle that he had been tasked with passing the virus on to anti-communist rebels in Cuba, but was not aware of the package's contents at the time and only discovered it several months after the fact. Six years later the Manchester Guardian did an investigative piece on the incident, finding several CIA sources to corroborate the operation, as well as ex-rebels who claim to have handled and passed on the package knowing what it was. None were willing to testify publicly though, so all we have to go on are anonymous sources cited in decades-old newspaper articles. As an aside, the CIA was questioned by the senate over its role in the incident, but the probe was closed without further investigation when the director denied involvement. They further made the claim that the US hadn't predicted the outbreak and as such pigs were vaccinated on a large scale, which was immediately denied by the Department of Agriculture on the basis that there was (and is) no vaccine against ASF.
Assuming this is true and the CIA did in fact infect Chinese farms with ASF, it's likely it was done without the knowledge or approval of the US president. He's been at odds with the intelligence agencies since (and before) his inauguration, and the CIA in particular has essentially worked under its own authority with little to no oversight since its inception after WWII.
I fully expect that China will find out if the infection was intentional though, which will likely lead to a covert response rather than an overt political or military one. Russia, China's primary ally, has as much if not more expertise in biochemical warfare as the US so we can very likely expect an escalation of competing epidemics in the coming years.
Finally, Infinityshock PM'd me about this, so thanks. I'd read about it briefly and didn't know the scale of the outbreak so I didn't think much of it at the time.
Sources are unfinished, I'll paste more in and add descriptions later:
