"Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future" -- Niels Bohr
Its not difficult when you realize there are only two options. Either people will become smart enough or they wont. My bet is they wont, and I was right for past 15 years in a row.
And talking dirty should be reserved for your spouse
Do you really think that a guy who constantly talks about sex and perversions online has a spouse? If he does, I feel sorry for her.
I want to invest in silver too, pure silver, and also silver jewelry which I find beautiful as well.
You make no mention of private party investment in ourselves
Sure I do, indirectly. Education is supposed to cover that, even tho it doesnt currently. I have invested in many things, gold, land, buisness, saving account...ect. without any government help, some would even say government harmed me much more than it helped regarding my investments.
I started buying gold when it was $400 per ounce. It's now over $3,400 per ounce. I expect it to rise higher over the long haul
I approve of government buying gold from other countries and putting it in local economy, and mining gold and putting it in local economy, but governments usually do something stupid like buy gold and just store it forever.
Government is also supposed to improve economy if it can, and technology if it can.
Being able to do useful thing and not doing it doesnt exactly sound like great strategy.
Who said the only money supply available is by printing it?
No one, what was being talked about is how government is supposed to fill its budget.
Tax cuts dont do anything much if you dont reduce expenses and invest in means of production in economy.
There is truly 0% of understanding of economy everywhere, but its simple.
1. Means of production are used to produce stuff.
2. So more means of production equals more stuff.
A government which imports cows will have more milk.
But people dont understand the basics in economy, which is why most economies in the world are shit.
There are only 4 basis of economy:
1. Production power
2. Technology
3. Investments
4. Cost to effect economy
The government should reasonably cover all 4.
Production power is increased by increasing means of production which produce useful things, example milk.
Technology is developed by education, research...ect.
Government can encourage investments by giving loans which are of low interest, and by printing money which causes increase in amount of money in economy.
Cost to effect economy requires a smart government.
Money printing plus low taxes plus medium to low government expenses are ideal way.
I hate Trump, but at least he defeated the Communists.
Damn that 2.7 % inflation. Once democrats come back in office, it will be 10% to 15% again thank God.
Do you love your gods, then? Or is it just transactional?
I believe that love is conditional. In the same way you wouldnt love someone who just abuses you and hurts you, I wouldnt love a God who just abuses and hurts me. In this sense, love is a trade. Not trade in a sense of "I give you this if you give me that". But in this sense: I will respect you and help you and do as you want, and then if you just hurt me, then there is no more respecting or helping from my side. I think this is what love is in a simple way. You offer first, but withdraw if person is pure evil. Same with Gods. I offered a lot to Gods before asking anything from them. It worked for me a lot, and because of this I think Gods exist and they can be pleased and they do return favors as well.
I bought it last year and went Ventrue because I liked the mind control powers
Mind control powers are great against weaker enemies, makes some levels super easy. Tho only some powers are useful against stronger enemies.
as long as the net movement is an increase
No, it doesnt matter if average temperature is 15 degrees or 20 degrees. Water still holds heat better than land does.
Currently, China, North Korea, and Vietnam, are officially atheist.
Their population are ranked highest in the world
China has birth rate which is almost as low as that of Japan. And yeah, good example with North Korea too.
I am surprised atheists think so much about sex, given the fact that their reproduction rates are lowest in the world.
I think you're a little fixated.
The guy talks about sex all the time. He is not "a little fixated".
Yes, but right now we're in a period of warming
No, there is still autumn, spring, winter and nights when temperatures drop much faster on land than they do on sea.
Mm... Tremere?
Yes, but I played all others too. I probably completed the game about 50 times. Of course a blood mage vampire would be my first choice, and its also overpowered because his first ability, blood strike, can actually defeat anyone in the game as long as you keep spamming it and using blood packs to restore blood. I also liked completing the game with guns alone, but you can even complete the game with fists alone or knife on some characters. It is one single game I enjoyed playing over and over. I dont know what I liked more, using powers to control enemies, to make them go insane, using powers to become basically impossible to harm with high fortitude power and high defense, or when I realized that there is no need to invest any points in strength because blood buff gives you full strength on its own anyway. Its one of those games where there are thousands of interesting things to try.
Didnt play much survival games. I mean, where you die if you dont eat. Maybe the only one which comes close to it is Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines, because you are a vampire and cant do anything if you dont feed.
if the temperature is rising overall, it's gonna rise faster on land.
No, average temperatures include both rising and falling temperatures, not just rising temperatures. Otherwise, sea would be significantly colder than the land on average.
My theology is completely about connecting with Gods and making deals with Gods. I do talk with humans too especially online but that is for research purposes and has no any love involved.
So we're just ignoring heat capacity here?
Land warms faster, but also cools faster. So average isnt higher than in sea.
we should expect that land will heat up faster than the sea
No, average temperature of sea isnt lower than that of land. Water holds temperature much better than land does.
I trust the people in my life well
I personally wouldnt put all my hopes in other people, but you do you.
They can see how sea temperatures rise too
That proves my point. Sea temperatures in past 20 years rose by 0.4 degrees only, while meassuring stations on land reported a rise in temperature of 1.5 degrees on land. Thats a significant difference between rise in temperature on sea and temperature on land.
So roads aren't really a problem.
When they increase land temperature by up to 10 degrees, they are.
I think Gods themselves are ashamed when they see how men act today. Men used to be strong dominant warriors with big beautiful hairy chest and big strong arms. They were stinky. They never shaved. They didnt care for opinions. They didnt care about what woman thinks.
Today, men are feminine, shaved everywhere, skinny, using perfume like women and they beg. They beg for women to notice them. They beg women for tiny bits of attention, and are so happy when she just barely notices for a short time that they exist.
These are men today. These are men who are much less likely to reproduce. These are men who are more likely to be abused in marriage if they ever even succeed in marrying. These are men who get bossed and controlled by women easily. These are men who get insulted and mocked by women all the time and they bow their head in shame. These are men who get shamed for being virgins by women. These are men who get compared to bears. These are men who get bullied by women. These are men who will swallow every insult and still keep begging for tiny bits of woman's attention.
Notice meeeee!!!!!
I belong to a culture of true Nordic warriors, and I feel ashamed when I see today's men, who are not even men in appearance anymore. They have become women. They have become sensitive and they talk about their feelings.
I am having great difficulty of telling difference between men and women on Tik Tok. Men dress like women, have long hair, and now every fourth man is femboy or feminine.
It is like I am living in Japan.
These men brush their hair and apply skin care products. They hug and marry pillows.
Women, on the other hand, have extremely privileged status.
When a hot woman commits a serious crime, most comments start justifying her. Men, on the other hand, are judged for merely existing. Women write books and comments about getting rid of all men, and that is considered "acceptable".
These same women who talk about how men are source of all evil will of course beg for attention of 10% hottest men, while the remaining 90% of men are considered undesirable and they only serve purpose if all attempts at getting hottest man fail.
In fact, women dont care if man is evil if he is hot. This is why hot criminals get women easily. Hot criminals are not considered evil by women, but more of a "bad boys" status where women use the excuse "I can fix him" or "he is good to me".
But when women get lonely, they will actually beg for attention of any man. If all men were true warriors and didnt care to give women attention, women would beg for attention.
But men are weak and they beg instead. This empowers women to basically be the ones who get endless attention from many men, and then she picks the most suitable one while the others are misled into believing they have a chance.
True warrior isnt someone who abuses women, but he isnt someone who begs them either. If you have to beg to get woman's attention, you have already lost your warrior spirit.
True warrior can be friend with a woman, but he cannot be her dog. He cannot degrade himself.
Sadly, this new generation seems to be openly showing to be willing to do anything to get noticed. They will degrade their language, talk dirty like dogs, and lose every single bit of respect they had for themselves.
Truly, when man has no honor, it is no use if he has big chest. But these new men have small chests, they have strength of a woman.
I dont know why this happened. Maybe modern food which increases estrogen levels in men made them to be more like women. And yes, men who take estrogen do begin to act like women, and modern food does contain chemicals which increase estrogen levels.
The average meassured temperatures in past 20 years rose by 1.5 degrees C.
Problem?
In urban areas, temperature can be up to 3 degrees higher than in rural areas during day, and up to 10 degrees during night.
How would this mess up average?
There are less and less rural areas in the world, cities are having less green surface and even rural areas are getting more roads everywhere.
So what the climate change people focus on is CO2, but the real change in temperature comes from roads and concrete. You can test it yourself during summer. Place your hand on grass, its nice and cool. Place your hand on concrete and its burning hot like fire. Thats what has great effect on average temperature meassurements.
Some meassuring stations report lower temperatures. Again, meassuring stations dont meassure total Earth's temperature, as much as survey of 1000 people doesnt meassure opinion of 7 billion people.
Those are pretty easy things to control for, like Statistics 101
You cant control for it.
Tree rings and ice cores can be used to measure temperatures from in the past
Questionable how much is that even reliable, but this was about temperature meassuring stations. And trees and ice likewise would suffer from same problem of environment variety which meassuring stations suffer from. There is no meassuring system which meassures entire temperature everywhere. Meassuring systems only meassure temperature in their small area. They are not omni present.
less variation when measuring average than a single data point due to the law of large numbers
Average changes when new different variables are introduced.
I'm saying you haven't presented an argument that the people measuring have failed to follow necessary standards.
Maybe there could be argument that meassuring stations built in new places would logically give different meassurements. Temperature isnt consistent anywhere. New meassuring stations are built, and of course they are going to give different meassurements. Its impossible for them to give same meassurements. If you meassure temperature, you will see that different places give different meassurement. There is a lot of variation in degrees on every 50 kilometers. I dont deny climate change, but claim that temperature meassurements can be completely accurate is logically impossible. For example, if someone built more roads around meassuring station, it would show higher temperature because roads increase temperature of surroundings during summer. If someone built new meassuring station which is closer to roads, it would show higher temperature. Temperature meassurement entirely depends on where meassuring station is built and on its environment around it, also from what materials is meassuring station built. The only thing going in favor of climate change supporters is consistent increase in temperature which happens every year, and the recent hot temperatures obviously exceed those remembered from the past. But to rely on meassurements from 50 years ago is bad argument, 50 years ago science had terrible standards in everything. Even today, science makes dumb mistakes which is the main reason people dont trust studies much anymore.
