He will pick all the next presidents after Trump, determine what legislation actually has a chance, and control basically every aspect of public life in the US for the foreseeable future.
What I like about this is that he starts off with a relatively mundane claim "Elon is now president for life." It's obviously untrue but it's just within the realm of vague plausibility that you don't dismiss it out of hand, just treat it as this kind of extreme hyperbole that they all post but you get what he "means" is Elon has the most powerful position in the country.

Then you see where Orayn is a real artist, not some loser like Nepenthe or PlanetSmasher but a real master of his craft, he immediately jumps beyond Presidential powers. Elon can have anything he wants to happen that's physically possible. He will determine all legislation. He will "control basically every aspect of public life in the US." The latter two are serious steps down from being able to have anything "physically possible" he wants happen!

President for life? Why would God-King Elon debase himself with such a lowly and irrelevant position? Something Orayn himself notes by saying that Elon will pick all the Presidents. Though I don't know why Elon would bother with that or legislation at all when he's clearly ascended to some kind of deity from all the drugs he's taking if he can achieve any physically possible thing he wants.

Didn't someone on The Bire post something that the clearance rate for murders is down to 50% (from a historical average of ~80%)? 

These dudes are always missing the forest for the trees: "but crime rates are down/the same, so your problems are fictional". If the same amount of murders happen, but 30% fewer get solved, is the problem still fictional? 

hell, I feel like 3-4 years ago people were talking about cops half-assing their jobs as a response to BLM stuff. Surely that would impact crime statistics--both in terms of reporting and resolving.

Steve Sailer has a lot of articles about that.

I thought part of the discussion was about how nobody will talk to cops anymore even when they have knowledge that could lead to arrest

"if you see something, no you didn't" ufup 

you can say that's the cops' fault for proving themselves untrustworthy, but that doesn't exactly help the unsolved crimes, does it

Friedrich Hayek wrote:Advancement within a totalitarian group or party depends largely on a willingness to do immoral things. The principle that the end justifies the means, which in individualist ethics is regarded as the denial of all morals, in collectivist ethics becomes necessarily the supreme rule. There is literally nothing which the consistent collectivist must not be prepared to do if it serves “the good of the whole”, because that is to him the only criterion of what ought to be done.

Once you admit that the individual is merely a means to serve the ends of the higher entity called society or the nation, most of those features of totalitarianism which horrify us follow of necessity. From the collectivist standpoint intolerance and brutal suppression of dissent, deception and spying, the complete disregard of the life and happiness of the individual are essential and unavoidable. Acts which revolt all our feelings, such as the shooting of hostages or the killing of the old or sick, are treated as mere matters of expediency; the compulsory uprooting and transportation of hundreds of thousands becomes an instrument of policy approved by almost everybody except the victims.

To be a useful assistant in the running of a totalitarian state, therefore, a man must be prepared to break every moral rule he has ever known if this seems necessary to achieve the end set for him. In the totalitarian machine there will be special opportunities for the ruthless and unscrupulous. Neither the Gestapo nor the administration of a concentration camp, neither the Ministry of Propaganda nor the SA or SS (or their Russian counterparts) are suitable places for the exercise of humanitarian feelings. Yet it is through such positions that the road to the highest positions in the totalitarian state leads.
...
A further point should be made here: collectivism means the end of truth. To make a totalitarian system function efficiently it is not enough that everybody should be forced to work for the ends selected by those in control; it is essential that the people should come to regard these ends as their own. This is brought about by propaganda and by complete control of all sources of information.

The most effective way of making people accept the validity of the values they are to serve is to persuade them that they are really the same as those they have always held, but which were not properly understood or recognized before. And the most efficient technique to this end is to use the old words but change their meaning. Few traits of totalitarian regimes are at the same time so confusing to the superficial observer and yet so characteristic of the whole intellectual climate as this complete perversion of language.

The worst sufferer in this respect is the word “liberty”. It is a word used as freely in totalitarian states as elsewhere. Indeed, it could almost be said that wherever liberty as we know it has been destroyed, this has been done in the name of some new freedom promised to the people. Even among us we have planners who promise us a “collective freedom”, which is as misleading as anything said by totalitarian politicians. “Collective freedom” is not the freedom of the members of society, but the unlimited freedom of the planner to do with society that which he pleases. This is the confusion of freedom with power carried to the extreme.

It is not difficult to deprive the great majority of independent thought. But the minority who will retain an inclination to criticize must also be silenced. Public criticism or even expressions of doubt must be suppressed because they tend to weaken support of the regime. As Sidney and Beatrice Webb report of the position in every Russian enterprise: “Whilst the work is in progress, any public expression of doubt that the plan will be successful is an act of disloyalty and even of treachery because of its possible effect on the will and efforts of the rest of the staff.”

Control extends even to subjects which seem to have no political significance. The theory of relativity, for instance, has been opposed as a “Semitic attack on the foundation of Christian and Nordic physics” and because it is “in conflict with dialectical materialism and Marxist dogma”. Every activity must derive its justification from conscious social purpose. There must be no spontaneous, unguided activity, because it might produce results which cannot be foreseen and for which the plan does not provide.

The principle extends even to games and amusements. I leave it to the reader to guess where it was that chess players were officially exhorted that “we must finish once and for all with the neutrality of chess. We must condemn once and for all the formula chess for the sake of chess.”

Perhaps the most alarming fact is that contempt for intellectual liberty is not a thing which arises only once the totalitarian system is established, but can be found everywhere among those who have embraced a collectivist faith. The worst oppression is condoned if it is committed in the name of socialism. Intolerance of opposing ideas is openly extolled. The tragedy of collectivist thought is that while it starts out to make reason supreme, it ends by destroying reason.

James Madison wrote:The provision for defense must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.

A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions. This policy of supplying, by opposite and rival interests, the defect of better motives, might be traced through the whole system of human affairs, private as well as public. We see it particularly displayed in all the subordinate distributions of power, where the constant aim is to divide and arrange the several offices in such a manner as that each may be a check on the other that the private interest of every individual may be a sentinel over the public rights. These inventions of prudence cannot be less requisite in the distribution of the supreme powers of the State.
...
There are but two methods of providing against this evil: the one by creating a will in the community independent of the majority that is, of the society itself; the other, by comprehending in the society so many separate descriptions of citizens as will render an unjust combination of a majority of the whole very improbable, if not impracticable. The first method prevails in all governments possessing an hereditary or self-appointed authority. This, at best, is but a precarious security; because a power independent of the society may as well espouse the unjust views of the major, as the rightful interests of the minor party, and may possibly be turned against both parties. The second method will be exemplified in the federal republic of the United States. Whilst all authority in it will be derived from and dependent on the society, the society itself will be broken into so many parts, interests, and classes of citizens, that the rights of individuals, or of the minority, will be in little danger from interested combinations of the majority.

In a free government the security for civil rights must be the same as that for religious rights. It consists in the one case in the multiplicity of interests, and in the other in the multiplicity of sects. The degree of security in both cases will depend on the number of interests and sects; and this may be presumed to depend on the extent of country and number of people comprehended under the same government. This view of the subject must particularly recommend a proper federal system to all the sincere and considerate friends of republican government, since it shows that in exact proportion as the territory of the Union may be formed into more circumscribed Confederacies, or States oppressive combinations of a majority will be facilitated: the best security, under the republican forms, for the rights of every class of citizens, will be diminished: and consequently the stability and independence of some member of the government, the only other security, must be proportionately increased. Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the stronger individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves; so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be gradnally induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful.

I haven't gotten myself diagnosed, but on top of severe social anxiety, it seems I have avoidant personality disorder and I'm fucking terrified:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avoidant_personality_disorder

https://www.reddit.com/r/AvPD/

...I REALLY don't want to be seen as that.

I've always felt like an outsider in my family's country. People there, including, family members, see me as the "weird" one, and I can't seem to fit in with Black American spaces either.

Among Black dudes, both here and abroad, there's certain cultural expectations around sociability and expression.

Every interaction feels like I'm disappointing people or being annoying. I try to connect, but it's like there's this invisible wall between me and everyone else. The worst part is feeling like I'm failing at meeting cultural expectations of what a Black man "should" be like: outgoing, strong, resilient. In Black space, there seems to be this unspoken expectation to be outgoing, to have that natural confidence, to "represent" properly.

It seems all attempts to avoid others and keep to myself in order to prevent myself from being coming across as weird or bizarre only serve to actually have me come across as weird or bizarre. Most of the time, I really wish I didn't exist.

For Black dudes, are anxiety or depression considered "white people problems"?

I wonder if there are other Black men who share similar experiences with anxiety and feeling "different" within their communities. It seems like there's a huge stigma for Black men in the African-American community to suffer rom social anxiety.

This doesn't really seem to be a "Black dude problem"

Is it commonplace for a Black dude to be considered "weak", a "loser", "weird", or "broken" within the black community because of issues such as this? Does anyone else struggle with being seen as "not Black enough" because of social anxiety? How do you cope with feeling like you're constantly offending others, disgusting others, or making yourself a laughing stock?

Sounds like he identifies as a white guy tbh

Or who really cares, tbh. It was apparently rolled back quickly because it seemed more like a glitch than a feature.

PCgamer decides to capitalize on this complete nothingburger of a story just to engage in a little projection and say the gooner word over and over.

I've seen game-breaking bugs take longer to hotfix. At least it led to one of my favorite news headlines in a while.

Yeah, so weirdos like you don't have start compulsively masturbating at a camera angle of a video game character.

Is this a Resetera take or are you also retarded?

If he’s Irish, then probably.

"The Online Hate Research and Education Project defines this derogatory anti-trans word as: “A slur used by transphobes to refer to and dehumanize transgender women. The term is a portmanteau of the words ‘trans’ and ‘goon,’ and carries the connotation that those accused of being ‘people of gender’ are using gender identity to hide sinister and potentially violent ends.”

Jesus. For all our trans ree guests, there you go. That's what Nep actually thinks of you. That's her real belief. We laugh at you for what you post. She laughs at you for who you are.

She’s apparently “Trans”, but I doubt that’s true with the way she tends to forget about it.
Censoring creep shots to gachadrones can't look up prepubescent looking girls skirts? Oh my.

Give me actual thicc women, not re-skinned gacha slop same face characters.  Malarkey!

This little girl comes up to me while I'm walking in the park and tells me that "I'm a cute boy. But are you trying to look like a girl?" In which the father seemed a little embarrassed but I smiled and explained that "honestly I'm just me today but thank you very much for noticing!"

It's funny how she understood that immediately... her father probably was confused but I really didn't care what his opinion is.


Kids understand. They figure things out. And if they don't? They ask. C;

That little girls name?
Coco Chanel.
