- Comment on Trump announces new US tariffs on Mexican... beer 1 day ago:
Hey, Dutch guy here. Dutch Heineken is disgusting pisswater, export or foreign produced Heineken is even worse. It has a weird plastic after taste, like wtf. Other than that it’s lacking taste, so people who don’t like beer can drink it. Just like corona and Budd light. There are so many properly crafted beers, thousands of them. Pilsner has the most neutral taste of them all, but even pilsner in the Chech Republic tastes amazing. We’ve gone over the top with different types of beer these days but it gives us an infinite amount to choose from. Heineken is the worst choice you could make, just like the others I mentioned. Especially with so many amazing other options.

No clue. I have no way of connecting it, I don’t have a land-line. I was thinking of converting it to a mic and headphone speaker for my eurorack. So add jack plugs on some wire.

I even have a walkman in my eurorack setup.

But at what cost.

Fines are so the ultra rich and mega corps have more freedom than others. Rules do not apply to them, they pay for it which is far less than their profits. Fines do not hurt them, it allows them to make more money than smaller competition.

Go to a country which is better than the US. So skip North Korea, Somalia, Palestine. Then you’re good.

Let me sum it up for you:
- Comment on Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference... 1 week ago:
Believing in a god, aliens, time travelers or any other fairytale isn’t going to help anyone.
- Comment on Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference... 1 week ago:
Yeah, let’s blame this shit show on time travelers and not on the racist dumb fucks we voted into power. Whatever we do, let’s not take responsibility for our actions and blame it on anything else.

Poor choice of alcohol. I’d rather slip, fall and break my back than having to drink Jack Daniel’s.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You forgot some important aspects:
People will have to give you all their belongings. They will have nothing if they ever want to leave. This can be done by making them pay for the workshops, with levels each more expensive then the other, making them not wanting to give up since they are already this far in and makes them give you everything they have to reach the next level. They must do so, otherwise they won’t have true devotion and they will risk punishment and have fear of being expelled. Look at Scientology, NXIVM.
They need to break ties with friends and relatives. Isolate them, so they have no one to return to if they ever want to leave. True isolation, with only you to lead them. They cannot trust anyone else, they cannot trust themselves. Only you. Again, Scientology.
Reward and punish them, but haphazardly, you don’t want to be predictable. This way they will do anything to get rewarded and are super scared to be punished. Break them down mentally, then build them up again according to your strict plan. Controlling their food and sleep helps (deprive them). They will follow you blindly and give up everything. See the documentary Stolen Youth on Hulu.
What many cults do wrong, is not having a business plan. You need income, so make them work for something you can sell. See the documentary Wild Wild Country on Netflix, they did this perfectly. You have basically free labor so you can compete in many markets.
And don’t forget you need good propaganda. You need new members, they need to think everything is super happy and they will learn new things about themselves (they will, after you break them first). Have a PR division, don’t be scared to pay someone properly to do this. Look at NXIVM, Scientology.
There’s a documentary about NXIVM called:
- The Vow. Documentaries listed above:
- Wild Wild Country
- Stolen youth Other documentaries to watch:
- Love has won, the cult of mother god
- The way down
- Escaping utopia
- Raël
- The deep end
- Breath of fire
- The program
- Escaping twin flames
- Kumaré
- Prophet’s prey
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 1 month ago:
It’s just to alienate and villainize the people they don’t like. Image someone as criminal and disgusting and other people will grow the same feeling. It’s what, Trump does too, with immigrants and trans people. Hitler did the same with jews. Spreading hate 101.

- Comment on What do I do for my sister/her friend? 1 month ago:
Wow, wtf. That’s not narcicism, a narcicist doesn’t acknowledge it. That’s rly fucked up. Wtf is wrong with that person. Get them some mental help. That’s seriously fucked up.
- Comment on What do I do for my sister/her friend? 1 month ago:
So, all I have is your bias story to go on, (sorry but there’s no objectivity to pull from a one sided story) but if you’re right, it sounds like this “friend” has something resembling a narcicistic personality disorder or something like it. If that’s true, it’s something to worry about. People with a condition like this tend to lure you in with kindness, force you to do stuff for them with the so called “kindness” as leverage, but at the same time destroying you by feeding negativity to you and the people around you about you, to maintain control over you by playing with you insecurities. And with “you”, I mean your sister in this case. Your sister will just be a pawn in their game to get status, attention, control, which will result in your sister getting hurt a lot and them moving on onto another victim.
But there’s a chance this is all wrong, again, I’m basing it only on your story. I don’t know if you are seeing everything which is happening clearly. Cases like this are always very difficult.
Maybe you can advice your sister not to get too dependent and attached on this “friend” and to be careful. And be there for her when it goes south. Don’t judge her, she’s a victim. Be supportive. Other than that, I doubt there’s anything you can do. It’s something which will have to play out as long as your sister isn’t ready to take her distance. It will be a hard life lesson, but a valuable one. Prep her with your insight, let her make the choice.
That’s my advice.

No. Shit. Sherlock.
- Comment on Why was Hitler so mean and hateful toward one group or another? I find it hard to believe he woke up one day and said you and you suck but these people over here are good. Taking it so far as killing? 1 month ago:
Worked the same for Hitler as it does for Elon en Trump. The love for hate, the need to blame, the hunger for power.

I need a pass code to log into my pc and my phone. I have biometrics enabled to unlock my password manager after that.
- Comment on ****** 1 month ago:
You type in passwords? Better use a password manager with random generated passwords, plus 2FA. Only copy-paste passwords and make it extremily hard to brute-force one, or have one stolen which can be used on other platforms because you use the same all over. Only unique long gibberish hidden behind a biometric lock, double protected with 2 factor Auth.

- Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt 1 month ago:
Thanks to Elon, inspecting governmental bodies, regulations and regulators will be dissolved, so probably the cybertruck will be an amazing camp fire, better known as a dumbster fire, due to spontaneous combustion like Chinese cars in China. Then to blame it on trans people or something.
