What does the Big Beautiful Bill Do? 🧵of highlights with direct quotes from the bill including after all the changes that were made. There were over 200 pages of cuts. Artificial intelligence deregulation is out. Anyone can regulate AI. Section 43201 was cut.

Discussing this thread again. It is actually extremely common for women to not feel like sex because *she* doesn't feel sexy. Women do not understand this is an "I don't love you" signal to their spouse- learning to not be self conscious about sex is a valuable skill

Men, especially good Christian men, tend to be ASHAMED of the predatory nature of their sex drive. It is in fact the acceptance of the man's nature that gives the man the highest validation, meeting such a man's shame with shamelessness. This is experienced directly as medicine.

The male sex drive operates on novelty. Male mice have significantly reduced refractory period when given new partners, and when men's testosterone is higher they are able to do more- bench press more weight, for example, with a cute girl. Wives can harness this through dress --or lack of dress, for example, or other various sexual signals. The male sex drive is *tightly* correlated with a man's self esteem, and a wife who does not "feed" her husband will find him with hunched shoulders acting like a slave, trying not to get noticed or hit.

I joined for like 2 seconds and they were talking about "war brides" but the reason whites built these civilizations is because they don't /do/ that kind of thing

People really think they could build notre dame while being maximally selfish and uncooperative somehow

In some instances genetics does play a role in predisposing (twin studies) but pornography exposure clearly counts as molestation (avg age of first exposure is 8)

For majority of cases (now) its a culture-enforced fetish identity which is why its like 100% comorbid with furries

Male sex drive feeds heavily on novelty and pornography disposes towards escalation via reinforcement loops (coupled with masturbation hormone release)

it won't hit everyone who views porn, there's as many genres as the wind, but everyone who views gets locked in to something

Reading the didache, which some Orthodox use to prove their church is "very old". On first glance pretty basic stuff other than sprinkling baptism and contradicting Paul on eating meats. But the thing that strikes me is how it reads very similarly to gnostic texts When you speak to someone with wisdom its obvious pretty fast, and when you speak to someone trying to act wise then their words take on a very different character- and early gnostic texts such as the Phillip and Thomas gospels are incredible case studies on this type of writing

This is the most common type of text missionaries get. "all this stuff is weird and sounds like work I'm just going to believe in Jesus" Well no problem dude Jesus said no man putting his hand to the plow looking back is fit for the kingdom of God so yeah maybe this isn't for you You want to revel in Jesus Christ but not serve him? That's extremely insulting. He died for you. "Give up everything. Sell all you have. If you seek to lose your life you will save it" "uhh that sounds like another gospel I'm just going to focus on how much Jesus loves me"

Women broadly have two ways of getting what they want: Nagging, and Flirting. Flirting increases the man's flow of self esteem (and therefore energy), and nagging interrupts it.

The reason most women almost exclusively use nagging is that it is simply more effective. The negative consequences are second order and most women are not lucid enough to see them (and under feminism they certainly are not taught) so you end up with unhappy marriages.

What has basically happened is the new moderation policy lets in unlimited immigrants to Xwitter. RW culture selects for humor, art, and intellectualism, which are values these people are explicitly hostile to, far more than they are to wokeness, which they in fact view as useful

So now we're surrounded by funhouse mirror conservativism where left wing criticisms are palette swapped with right wing jargon. Calling things gay but not for any of the reasons homosexuality is actually bad

"Zionist" means "people who write articles", it just means analysis

I am at a point in life where pretty much every friend that isn't some % redpilled on women is getting divorced

That doesn't mean giving up and in fact if you can see the pitfalls I think good marriage is possible, even easy, but you MUST acknowledge social fabric for what it is

girl in video is obviously not wife material, she clearly intends to disrespect any man who gets near her, no amount of "being an alpha male" is going to change that, its not gaslighting, its physics

I don't know what Adam is on about but broadly speaking, this is fine advice for men, and really, really bad advice for women.

I only have ~7 years of marriage so on the subject my thoughts are not as mature as some, but trying to scold fellow men out of their sex drive is evil With that said, this is definitely true and men should be careful about "objectifying" their wives in this way. Women do not naturally understand what sex means to men and so it is up on men to surface their emotions to their wives in a way she understands

It appears, that like God himself, I will be called upon to watch my firstborn son die. Maybe it stings more because at least Christ's death was full of meaning. But Christ bears this pain and is with us, so I'm not afraid. Too much.

substackfwd.xyz/?url=https://d… I've been thinking a lot about Abraham for these past two years. Joseph Smith preached the concept of "Abrahamic Trials". Will you sacrifice your son? Seculars find this repulsive, "Abraham must be delusional, or else Jehova is not worth worshipping". They don't understand, its just reality.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints: A Primer

There is, generally speaking, a lot of confusion about the history, teachings and culture, and I want to give my attempt at explanation.

This will be a little long. I'll try to cover everything, even the weird stuff This isn't a "convert you" thread, although I certainly think you should. I will do my best to present things from a neutral perspective, so people can see what is different, and what is the same. My qualifications are that I live in Utah and am a disciple of Christ.

Women seem to nearly universally overestimate the ability of single mothers to date. Men with options won't date single mothers. Its like how a girl would react if a guy put registered child molester in his bio.

./ Widows, of course, are an exception, as are aged divorcees who are mostly only going to be dating other aged divorcees. It can work out over the age of ~35. Yet we still see girls divorcing fairly good men thinking they'll find a better one, only to find the check won't clear.

There are few things worse than insulting a man's family, disgusting behavior you expect only from childless antifa types

In every society with a concept of honor it has been legal to kill someone for doing this

in many ways the loss of dueling has caused all modern degeneracy I bet you could trace a fairly straight line from the loss of dueling to feminism- if men can't be men then women need the state to protect them

And if men can't pursue honor, they're forced to play gay political correctness games, and women aren't attracted to emasculated men

Why Latter Day Saint fertility is dropping is hard to explain, there are optimistic and pessimistic explanations IMO. Though I do believe the statistics are *slightly* misleading, because everyone in my immediate friends and family here in Utah has like 5 kids

Pessimistic explanations would be coming from a church antagonistic angle, such as from gays and apostates saying "people are reading that its not true" - This doesn't hold water because church growth slowed (not stopped, its still growing) in step with feminism, not the internet

Naive- we're already on the downhill, the window for salvation-by-automation is passed

What we'll see is a partial automation followed by a total collapse of anyone capable of (let alone interested in) maintaining it, and the clutter will be worse than none at all

https://twitter.com/realMaxCastle/status/1652786717118570496

I have some experience with automation and these idealists have no idea how fragile it is- You can't get it robust maintainable- even in a *perfect* scenario where builders are conscientious enough to plan for transfer, in the real world people cut corners based off current needs

Feminism views men as powerful, but "toxic". Essentially "men are bullies". The classic solution to bullies is "stand up, fight back" Of course this strategy poisons and undermines any relationship they try to make. Women used to teach each other: Men respond better to flattery The secret for girls is that men *enjoy* being manipulated. I think as long as you're orbiting him he's happy to move the world for you as long as you make him feel the hero for doing it. Instinct deep in men loves feeling like you depend on him and he's taking care of you well

Um yes, masculinity is fragile. It has to be in a very specific state to work efficiently, unlike femininity

It also is an order of magnitude more powerful than you, like a diesel semi to your sedan, and you would be wise to pay a little more respect and attention to its health You make memes like this and it seems prudent to point out men don't *have* to listen to you. You don't *actually* have the power to stop them if something goes "wrong". If your endless antagonism makes some negative behaviors more cost appealing than ignoring you, for example

whatever you think you offer men "as a friend" I promise you its peasant rations

Its not about being "only good for sex" its about "insisting on playing a market you are outcompeted in"

Marriage is about accumulating resources to transmit forms of wealth intergenerationally. Gay marriage is about economizing on resources to maximize consumption. Fundamentally different purposes. Real marriage represents a compromise between the sexes, where a man takes ownership of a woman's worst tendencies, which otherwise would be exported onto society, and a woman spurs a man to grow beyond his worst tendencies. In gay marriage you instead get encouragement.
