NEET Scot

I'm a Scottish NEET transhumanister and can't find a job. Decided to go to uni to do sociology and film studies as a surrogate for employment so the job centre wouldn't keep hounding me trying to make me do unpaid 'internships' as… A cleaner… Or at a fast food chain in exchange for the dole. Had a few jobs on and off over my 20s but in my 30s now and feeling quite shite and done with academia (sociology and film) considering I know most of it already and have experience making films and doing freelance shit and just need to do something.

What is NEET filmmaker/musician transhumanist to do for our cause? Im also bretty good at DIY I guess

jobless parasite on disability bucks

What do trans rights mean if a trans woman can't get a job or a place to rent? It seems to me that literally no movement cares about such fundamentals. Every trans woman has the right to an honest job, housing and education. Queer liberalism has jackshit to do with getting trans women that.

Is academia a waste of time?

I'm 31. I never went to college because I considered it a waste of time. The state of education in the USA is abhorrent and I never for a moment considered there would be something to gain by wasting time in ideological brainwashing factories masquerading as educational institutions. I'm employed in the trades and I've always studied philosophy in my spare time, but I'm seriously considering university now because I believe (perhaps mistakenly) that my abilities and knowledge have reached a point of enough breadth and depth to make a career as a philosopher, and to get some papers and books published. Has anyone here pursued that path, and if so, what were your experiences?

How would you go about learning about solar? Do you know of any useful material to learn about it? I'd love to learn more about the different technologies involved and about the installation of solar panels and power generation.

Freezing sperm

I had to wake up today at 6:00 AM and got ready to get to the clinic, pretty nice but i felt forced to look like i didn't got there from the ghetto…

got to sign some documents, they took my ID and i paid for the tests, a while in i got called for getting my blood drawn, the usual at this point; they got 2 tubes of blood and had me in for some questions regarding my medical background, after that i was taken to the "sample room" which was basically like a sink, a chair and a TV.

so i did some hand washing and such and i had downloaded a bunch of stuff in my phone yesterday, the whole time feeling like i'd just burst and ruin the 3-5 days abstinence recommended.

but i had already washed my hands and i don't think washing my phone be viable + i'd have to hold my phone as well as the sample cup and everything?

so i just used the TV with the USB which was kinda slow so i just kinda did a faproulette with it and actually seeing the sample size i got scared it'd be too small but it was just about 0.2ml short according to the doctors; besides that the sample was very good and i'll be able to freeze from 2 to 4 vials with a doctor's recommendation and go back on estrogen hopefully by next month.

overall everything is going fine which is scary because whenever things are going fine i get this feeling of calm before the storm.

The internet is inherently hierarchical and tends toward giving already established and popular entities undue voice.

In the real, physical world, people encounter things that they are physically close to and can sense through their sight, hearing, etc. This is the concept behind protesting out on the street.

On the internet, there is no built in discovery mechanism like there is in the physical reality. People never just type in domain names to se what's there, especially these days. You could own "starmer.sucks" and maybe get like two visitora a year.

Discovery on the internet is based on network effect and platforms. You are at the mercy of other people linking to your site or whatever platform you're posting on choosing to recommend you.

In contrast, the material world has discovery built in. You pass a street protest, you hear their chants, you see their faces. You see some graffiti. You didn't search for it. The people who did tjat didn't have to pay Google for the privilege of being seen.

This is why real life is so important. Touch grass my Marxbros

middle-class retirees re-entering the workforce

they're like the worst employees you could ever imagine, worse than any apathetic stoned teenager because at least the teenager doesn't have delusions of seniority or experience or a complete inability to accept criticism or admit to making a mistake, at least they can be trained. but the boomers and karens are unreformable, they complain and exude indignation and misery out of every orifice and destroy employee morale, they do things the wrong way and they get belligerent and defensive when you try to show them how to do them the right way, they get irritated with busy shifts and lines and impatient customers and they show their irritation very publicly, they gossip about co-workers and discuss politics and religion and create drama, they speak condescendingly to co-workers and customers and even managers, it's unbelievable. it's like a paroled convict who was in prison for decades and has no idea how to re-enter normal society. and when you are forced to finally reprimand them, they have a fucking emotional breakdown.

i was dealing with a recent hire who was like this, and one day i noticed that she was burning through rolls of paper towels at several times the rate of any other worker wadding up huge balls of paper towels and wiping stuff down and throwing it away and grabbing another, so i kind of pulled her aside so as not to embarrass her and explained to her how to take one paper towel and fold it twice to make four surfaces and use one surface until it gets dirty, then use another, etc. she became indignant and said "sweetie, i've been cleaning up after four kids for 20 years i know how to use a paper towel." i told her, "first of all, i'm trying to help you, i'm trying to show you how to do the job right, i'm trying to make your job easier. second, this is work, this isn't your house, and you are a brand new employee here. don't talk to me or anyone else here that way. don't call me 'sweetie' and don't get an attitude with me. you do it again, you're gone. do you understand?" she started crying. she cried about it for the rest of the day and then the next day she never showed up for work, no call no show. someone had to come in and pull a double to cover for her. and i didn't even get a chance to confront her about all the other shit she was doing wrong.

i felt guilty about it, which makes me even more annoyed when i really think about it because i shouldn't feel guilty just for expecting a perfectly healthy able-bodied adult to listen and follow basic directions and not behave like an entitled spoiled brat at work. i understand that your hero donald trump betrayed you and destroyed the economy and your security and i understand how humiliating it must feel to be a suburban middle-class retiree for years and then suddenly be reduced to the lowly task of wiping down tables and ringing up customers, but you know what? too bad.

what's are the major difference between the VZ-58 with it's short-stroke system and Type-81 attempt to improve the AK's shortcomings?

besides stamped/milled receiver?

would it be worth it trying to bring back the VZ58?
or has modern Chinese production AKs ended the AK pattern arms race?

Is everyone bisexual?

Why do some people seem to believe that everyone is innately bisexual? I've seen this claim every now and then online, and apparently some prominent bisexuals (e.g. Gore Vidal, Billie Joe Armstrong) believe(d) it. I've even heard it twice IRL; the second time, a lesbian acquaintance of mine said something along the lines of "I'm gay enough that I know straight people aren't lying about being straight", which I concurred with in my head (although I said nothing). Personally, I'm a gay guy, or at least that's what I call myself, but there have been a few rare instances where I briefly wondered whether I actually am attracted to women, only minimally and/or while repressing it, and although I have always ultimately concluded that I am just gay, it does make me think about the idea that everyone is actually just at some point or another on a spectrum of bisexuality. That being said, it still seems highly improbable to me. What are your thoughts?

Let it go dude it’s over

I’m not on hrt, if I was everyone would notice and I would have to humiliate myself my coming out to everyone I know, I would also still look like a guy but my voice would be more whiny and annoying

I just wish I was born a cis Woman, I wouldn’t have to get hrt I wouldn’t have to have surgeries and I would have to worry about medication that permanently alters my body and would ruin my life if I regretted taking it

If I want to go on hrt it would have to be when I am in a place where I can live by myself, which will be never and at that point it would be pointless, at that point I would have never lived as a woman, it would only change how I look and sound

of course most /pol/tards side with caser's legion but looking at it almost every single faction is awful one way or the other, The NCR is literally a reboot of America that is in the middle of a manifest destiny, House is a egotistical maniac and probably appeals to Musk bros and Yes man is just a libertarian wet dream

Where is the best Latin American country to visit as an Amerikkkan?

(I guess this also applies to many non-Latin American countries in the Caribbean and the The Guianas but you get the point)
My parents were saying that this Christmas we should go on a vacation to Mexico, my dad actually once went to Mexico before and he didn't like it for some reason so why parents said that any warm country in the Americas could work. I was exited but also concerned because I know how in Hawaii the local people hate tourism because all of the Airbnbs and Resorts are owned by rich white guys on the mainland so tourism there is inherently exploitative, so I was wondering which countries are and aren't like that in Latin America.

<TWO SOURCE COSMOGONY: The One was and was-not, combined, and desired to separate the was-not from the was. So it generated a diploid sac which contained, like auyghshell, a pair of twins, each an androgyny, spinning in opposite directions (the Yin and Yang of Taoism, with the One as the Tao). The plan of the One was that both twins would emerge into being (was-ness) simultaneously; however, motivated by a desire to be (which the One implanted in both twins), the counter-clockwise twin broke through the sac and separated prematurely; i.e. before full term. This was the dark or Yin twin. Therefore it was defective. At full term the wiser twin emerged. Each twin formed a unitary entelechy, a single living organism made of psyche and soma, still rotating in opposite directions to each other. The full term twin, called Form I by Parmenides, advanced correctly through its growth stages, but the prematurely born twin, called Form II, languished.

<The next step in the One's plan was that the Two would become the Many, through their dialetic interaction. From them as hyperuniverses they projected a hologram-like interface, which is the pluriform universe we creatures inhabit. The two sources were to intermingle equally in maintaining our universe, but Form II continued to languish toward illness, madness and disorder. These aspects she projected into our universe.


<It was the One's purpose for our hologramatic universe to serve as a teaching instrument by which a variety of new lives advanced until ultimately they would be isomorphic with the One. However, the decaying condition of hyperuniverse II introduced malfactors which damaged our hologramatic universe. This is the origin of entropy, undeserved suffering, chaos and death, as well as the Empire, the Black Iron Prison; in essence, the aborting of the proper health and growth of the life forms within the hologramatic universe. Also, the teaching function was grossly impaired, since only the signal from the hyperuniverse I was information-rich; that form II had become noise.


<The psyche of hyperuniverse I sent a micro-form of itself into hyperuniverse II to attempt to heal it. The micro-form was apparent in our hologramatic universe as Jesus Christ. However, hyperuniverse II, being deranged, at once tormented, humiliated, rejected and finally killed the micro-form of the healing psyche of her healthy twin. After that, hyperuniverse II continued to decay into blind, mechanical, purposeless causal processes. It then became the task of Christ (more properly the Holy Spirit) to either rescue the life forms in the hologramatic universe, or abolish all influences on it emanating from II. Approaching its task with caution, it prepared to kill the deranged twin, since she cannot be healed; i.e. she will not allow herself to be healed because she does not not understand that she is sick. This illness and madness pervades us and makes us idiots living in private, unreal worlds. The original plan of the One can only be realized now by the division of hyperuniverse I into two healthy hyperuniverses, which will transform the hologramatic universe into the successfull teaching machine it was designed to be. We will experience this as the 'Kingdom of God.'


<Within time, hyperuniverse II remains alive: 'The Empire never ended.' But in eternity, where the hyperuniverses exist, she has been killed – of necessity – by the healthy twin of hyperuniverse I, who is our champion. The One grieves for this death, since the One loved both twins; therefore the information of the Mind consists of a tragic tale of the death of a woman, the undertones of which generate anguish into all the creatures of the hologrammatic universe without their knowing why. This grief will depart when the healthy twin undergoes mitosis and the 'Kingdom of God' arrives. The machinery for this transformation – the procession within time from the Age of Iron to the Age of Gold – is at work now; in eternity it is already accomplished.

EDIÇÃO MENSAGENS DOS OPERÁRIOS
"Um vazamento no Salão Verde da Câmara dos Deputados levou um grupo de trabalhadores a encontrar, no início deste mês, seis mensagens de operários que construíram o Congresso Nacional. Os escritos estavam nas paredes do local onde havia o vazamento. As mensagens parecem ter sido escritas por pessoas diferentes (Nelson Nilson, José Silva Guerra dentre outros). Há mensagens de abril de 1959 e outras de setembro do mesmo ano. Brasília foi inaugurada no dia 21 de abril de 1960."

Se todos os brasileiros fossem dignos de honra e honestidade, teríamos um Brasil bem melhor

Amor palavra sublime que domina qualquer ser humano

Brasília de hoje, Brasil amanhã

Dura Lex, Sed Lex

Só temos uma esperança, nos brasileiros de amanhã

Saudade: palavra que nunca morre, quando morre fica arquivada no coração

I hate Warhammer

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

How do i convince my mother i am intersex?

Mom kept asking me to go to church, then when i finally felt sorta better to go, she approached me crying that i shouldn't have gone dressed as a woman, i asked my uncle who's got a higher authority on the church and he asked god and he says i had permission to go as i was comfortable and sit in the women's section.

nobody really bat an eye i was just asked if it was my first time there, i said i just hadn't been there in like years but i still knew the whole rituals and prayers, we sang a little, it was all chill until she arrived crying and sat next to me.

at the end she asked me to leave against my uncle's orders.
then she insists that i am not trans and it's just an idea i picked from the internet because i used to cry for being bullied for using the girls sinks in kindergarten and because i had a gf for like 5 days in middle school.

so i've been trying to explain to her that when i got my bloodwork my testosterone came out considerably low and my puberty didn't really start til around my 20s

tis more of a desperate attempt at her to stop asking me to wear "the right clothes" and just overall stop getting her hopes up about this being "just a phase" that's been going for like over 12 years now.
