How to ASK FOR S#X
1. Speak like a man
1. Speak like a man
Don’t say “Can we?”
Say “Come here.”
Speak like a man who knows what he wants but still respects her.
Command presence, not compliance.
Women respond to grounded direction, not needy permission.

2. Don't ask.
You don’t ask for it.
You CREATE it.
Eye contact, tone, proximity, subtle touches, FOREPLAY...
After you feel she'd die for your d***, you can begin to touch her genitals slowly and pull her clothes slowly off.
If you have to ask, the energy’s NOT there yet.

On two occasions today, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers rammed UNIFIL vehicles with a Merkava tank, in one case causing significant damage. The soldiers had blocked a road in Bayada that is used to access UNIFIL positions.
Over the past week, Israeli soldiers have fired “warning shots” in the area, striking and damaging clearly identifiable UNIFIL vehicles. In one case, a “warning shot” landed a metre away from a peacekeeper who had dismounted his vehicle.
Israeli soldiers have continually blocked peacekeepers’ movements on this road in recent days, in addition to denials of freedom of movement recorded in other areas.
@MarkMariani11 No. You're blaspheming. The Bible doesn't say that. The Bible is poetry, philosophy, and teaching lessons from experience through analogies & metaphors.
Don't pretend to know it by reciting (at best) some verses (like other religions making stupid).

@MarkMariani11 The Bible was made to be understood (& not to be recited without understanding by Anglosaxon-idiots like you) !
That will make you a good Christian or Jew (or even Muslim, for those who remember that the Bible was originally part of Islamic teachings).

MEN, LEARN HOW TO FLIRT ALREADY
Save it, you'll need it✅
1. Use statements, not questions (observe her from afar)
Instead of asking boring questions like "What do you do?", make bold and fun observations about her.

- "You're the type who secretly dances in their room when no one's watching."
- "I'd bet you're the friend who plans wild nights but acts all innocent the next day."
This shows your confidence without feeling the need to respond to them, while letting them know you get their vibe.

2. Push-Pull Method
Compliment her, then take it back (or immediately follow up by teasing her). It makes her emotionally dependent.
Examples:
- "You're kind of cute... too bad you're a troublemaker."
- "I love your energy... don't ruin it now by acting boring."
Push = teasing/pushing away. Pull = showing interest/complimenting.
Mix them quickly.

8 Bedroom Hacks:
1) Last longer than her
1) Last longer than her
Lasting longer than her is easy if you know what to focus on.
If you focus on how horny she makes you, you'll cvm quickly.
You have to tell her she's hot while not paying that much attention to it.
Make sure you control your breath.
You'll 100% last longer than her.

2) Undress her slowly
Listen, 90% of making her 0rgasm is turning her on a lot before.
So, make sure you focus as much as possible on foreplay and the making out part.
You get hard only if she's around you.
She gets hard after you kiss for a long time.

The case came to light because of one brave family.
Parents noticed their daughter suddenly changed.
She started wearing a burqa and observing Ramzan fasts.
They approached Nashik Police.
That one complaint opened a 4 year old can of worms. 🤯

Nashik Police didn’t just take complaints.
They sent female officers UNDERCOVER into the office.
They risked their lives to expose the racket.
Accused caught red handed.
40+ CCTV clips seized as evidence.
This is how real police work looks. 👏🇮🇳

Day 126 of posting a deal a day until I get a new role in CRE / Investments / Special Sitatuations🧵
Today I am doing an intro on recoverable amortization. @ClarenceWongCRE feel free to jump in
This is an office building we are selling and I am refreshing the model to reflect amortization.
I am doing this to accurately reflect cash flows and make sure our value is as high as possible

I am doing this to accurately reflect cash flows and make sure our value is as high as possible
1) wtf is amortization and why am I tracking it?
- Let's say we replace the HVAC. We pay this (as the landlord) on day 1 however, for office leases you can actually recover this cost
How does this get recovered?
- you will amortize the cost over x months
Simple example:
- 100k hvac repair , depreciates over 10 years so you charge your tenants 10k / year until you recover it back
- you are also allowed to charge the tenants interest (depends on the lease) so you actually end up recovering over 100k
- this is table stakes and allowed in CRE leases (especially office)
- so we need to figure out how we amortize it e.g. the term, and the amount so I can figure out how much we can recover from tenants
- this is a cash inflow

Example from the deal I am selling
- we did some hvac repairs in 2021 and since we amortize it over 180 months we get to collect from the tenants until 2036 (when that ends)
- this represents a charge for tenants
- since we incurred this already, a new purchaser is legally entitled to this and since it's already done and paid for, its free money to the purchaser (sunk cost for us as the seller)
- A buyer loves to see this completed recoverable capital
- Final note is that the interest is accumulated as well and the amount depends on the contractual interest rate in the leases

🚨 Elisabeth Bik’s Bombshell Scandals Unfolding
Is Elisabeth Bik really important?
Absolutely not.
📢 But here’s why exposing her matters:
She represents a deceptive layer of a mob network, with fraudulent organizations — the PubPeer Foundation and Retraction Watch — as its main pillars, actively defrauding the academic community under the guise of “research integrity.”
She has been effectively curated since her recruitment in 2020 to serve as the face of the PubPeer “PubSmear” Network Mob operation: selective targeting of certain scientists and researchers for personal and institutional gains, through controlling the academic job market, academic funds and grants, share values of the related industries, and finally controlling the scientific narratives. ⚠️ This has never been about genuine science integrity. It is a carefully managed narrative designed to mislead the academic community.
We designated Bik as a fake “science integrity consultant” with little knowledge about academia and research integrity.
📌 Her attack on Boris (Bruce) Kriger (@brucekriger) on April 9, 2026 is a clear indication why this designation is 100% accurate.
1/7
🧵 Thread starts here.
Read through to see how a normal science and philosophy enthusiast, who is not in any way a member of the conventional/traditional academic community, is smeared by Bik, as an attempt to regain her declining traction on social media, following ScienceGuardians™’ exposures.

2/7 Who is Boris Kriger that Bik has targeted?
Boris Kriger is simply a science and philosophy enthusiast.
He writes and self-publishes his ideas.
He has zero peer-reviewed publications.
He has zero record on Scopus or Web of Science.
He is not and has never been affiliated with any established academic institutions or universities.
His so-called “Doctoral Thesis” titled A Unified Structural Theory of Complex Systems (656 pages, presented as fulfillment of a PhD in Systems Science / Theoretical Foundations of Complex Systems), is entirely self-published with no university, supervisor, defense committee, or established academic institution involved — it is presented solely under his own self-created micro-institutes. Hence, as long as has not used this self-awarded “PhD” to defraud any actual institution, grant agency, employer, or official academic application (i.e., he is not submitting it as a credential from a recognized university to secure a real academic position, funding, or any regulated benefit), then, it is not fraud in any legal sense, and is his personal business.
He is also a former Orthodox priest (Father Boris Kriger) who served in the Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox Diocese, founded churches, and worked on humanitarian and educational projects in the greater Toronto area.

3/7 Boris Kriger has created profiles on Google Scholar and ResearchGate—platforms that allow individuals to set up public pages with limited verification.
While widely used, these platforms contain loopholes that can be exploited, such as the ability to create profiles without rigorous identity checks, misattribute publications, or upload non-peer-reviewed or unverifiable documents.
As a result, they do not offer the same level of curation and validation as formal academic indexing services.

In fact, the empirical results of this work are supported by a more general theoretical principle: if two agents (model & brain here) achieve vanishing regret on the *same* task family, there *must* exist an invertible mapping between them.
This is Corollary 5 of my "Capable Agents" paper from over a month ago, more details here:
Also, check out @cogphilosopher's thread about our prior work identifying invertible mappings from one brain to another. This serves as principled "ground truth" for the mapping that should used between models and brains:
In 1903, a 9-year-old boy's father died. His family fell into poverty.
He entered Columbia at 16 on a scholarship. Three departments offered him professorships: philosophy, mathematics, and English.
He turned them all down. They didn't pay enough to feed his family.
He went to Wall Street instead. First job: $12 a week chalking stock prices on a blackboard.
He invented value investing. His book is still called "the best book about investing ever written." 75 years later.
His most famous student became the richest investor in history. That student said the professor was more influential than anyone except his own father.
The professor was Benjamin Graham. The student was Warren Buffett.
I turned Graham's philosophy into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:

The professor was Benjamin Graham. The student was Warren Buffett.
I turned Graham's philosophy into 12 prompts.
Here are all 12:
Prompt 1: Mr. Market
Graham's most famous allegory from The Intelligent Investor: Imagine you have a business partner named Mr. Market. Every day he shows up and offers to buy your share or sell you his. Some days he's euphoric and names a high price. Other days he's depressed and names a low price. The key insight: you don't have to trade with him. His mood is his problem. Your job is to decide whether his price makes sense.
"I'm evaluating an opportunity or reacting to market conditions: [describe. A stock price swing, a business offer, a salary negotiation, a real estate deal, a trending investment, public opinion about your work]. Using Graham's Mr. Market framework: (1) Who is 'Mr. Market' in my situation? The person, platform, or force that is quoting me a price right now? (2) What mood is Mr. Market in today? Euphoric, depressed, or somewhere in between? What evidence tells me this? (3) Is the price Mr. Market is offering me based on the actual value of the underlying thing, or is it based on his mood? (4) Graham said 'you don't have to trade with Mr. Market.' Am I being pressured to act right now? What happens if I simply wait? (5) What is the actual intrinsic value of what's being offered, independent of Mr. Market's mood? Give me the rational assessment."

(5) What is the actual intrinsic value of what's being offered, independent of Mr. Market's mood? Give me the rational assessment."
Prompt 2: The Margin of Safety
Graham called this "the central concept of investment." It means never paying full price. If a stock is worth $100, only buy it at $70. That 30% gap is your margin of safety. It protects you from being wrong. Graham developed this principle after losing money in the 1929 crash. His childhood poverty made him obsessed with never losing everything again.
"I'm about to make a significant commitment: [describe. An investment, a hire, a business deal, a career move, a major purchase, a partnership]. Using Graham's Margin of Safety framework: (1) What is the 'full price' of this commitment? Not just money. Time, energy, reputation, opportunity cost. (2) What is the 'intrinsic value'? What is this commitment actually worth to me based on cold analysis, not excitement? (3) What is my margin of safety? How much room do I have if things go wrong? If the answer is 'none,' I'm speculating, not investing. (4) Graham developed this after losing nearly everything in 1929. What is the worst-case scenario here? Can I survive it? (5) What would it take to increase my margin of safety? Can I negotiate a lower price, reduce my exposure, or add a contingency plan? Give me the version with the widest safety margin."
