Regardless though it's crazy how his son began to associate with the people who almost had 50 killed

I have no rebuttal for this. True true.

Watching over your video, the house fire sounded like it was recent in the OP's video, not when he was a kid back in the late 00's. Kinda pathetic that she got greedy in wanting more than $25K and ending up in court to get it dwindled down to $6.7K. In any case, baby mama issues isn't enough for me to be sympathetic to 50's turbulent relationship with his son. It's an active job to be a father and we had a billion and 2 social constructs to prevent the destabilization of the nuclear family, most of which disappeared over the last 50 years or so. Of course, in his culture, why would he know any better?

50 Cent, on the relationship with his son (from 50's perspective):

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vYBV52LVDhw

He had a brilliant idea with the online sneakershop but he screwed up with his absent father tendencies. He waited for the results, not pushed for them. If Marquis lived in his home, 50 Cent would have been on top of him, reminding him everyday, "Did you work on the shop yet?", "Did you get a buddy to manage the warehouse?", "Did you build a website yet?", and he would be right there to answer questions when the kid inevitably got stuck on what to do. But since they didn't live together, 50 would have had to call him up to press for results. And he didn't. He assumed Marquis would have been on top of things. But given how it appears he hasn't displayed discipline or perseverance, of course he would inevitably flounder on that project.

I don't blame the kid at all for this. You don't become a man who can assume responsibilities when you hit whatever the legal age of your country is. Majority of the history in cultures across the world, boys are guided to become one through trials to demonstrate their growth and ability to handle responsibilities. You don't immediately gain discipline, it's all a gradual process that you have to practice, which is one of the reasons why you teach kids to make their beds everyday or have them wash the dishes daily. Just giving him money and whatever he wants isn't a substitute for helping him develop the necessary qualities to help him succeed in life.

To the OP, is the kid still looking for child support? Or is he venting over the reduction of child support? For any average person, $81K a year (with no hours committed to earning it) is more than enough for them to not have to worry about finances. For him, he was probably used to a lavish lifestyle above most people's paygrade and his life revolved around material goods with jewelry and sneakers. So yeah, he'd be one to say his life is over after his house burned down, taking all his jewelry and 10's of thousands of dollars worth of sneakers with it, and think $6700 is not enough to rebuild.

Only vaguely relevant but check out this piece on the child support economy.

That's not how science works.

The burden of proof is on the ones claiming it does exist.

The burden of proof is on the ones making a claim; whether you make a claim X exists or Y doesn't exist, you prove it in science. Case in point, E&M theory says it's possible for monopoles to exist. Does it exist? We haven't observed it in reality yet. But we don't know so we can't say it doesn't or does exist altogether.

Having a stance or belief doesn't mean it's a religion. For instance you believed in pizzagate but that doesn't make pizzagate a religion. It's just a really stupid belief.

I never said it was a religion, only some people do treat it as such. You need to work on your reading comprehension if you want attempt to slander people with forbidden topics.

We differentiate between atheism and agnosticism for a reason.

DoesntMatter posted...

incorrect. atheism is the lack of belief in gods. no "believing" involved. you straight up reject the notion as factually untrue.

Indeed, you have a stance, a disbelief in gods. The belief, the stance is that they do not exist.

Atheism is a belief, Agnosticism is not. One is "I believe gods don't exist", other is "I don't have an opinion on whether they exist or not".

But to the topic, given how people are forming a community and identity around their atheistic beliefs, I would consider taking it to that extent to be a religion.

The impression I'm getting is that this guy is overly protective of what's his as noted by starting a fight over his lawn and he thinks he's better than everyone else. I can deduce the logic in that. It doesn't have the inherent contradictory nature of someone who looks down on a population but still married into it.

But for a real world example, I will give you that there is a population of Hapas, half White half Asian males who are emotionally abused due to their Asian mothers who have self hatred of their genes and White males who are proud of their genes (to say the least) but go over to Asia to find a wife. And the parents are both disappointed that the kid looks more like the mom than the dad. And it reflects in their treatment and upbringing of the kid.

I don't think this is true at all and I do believe it depends on the conservative and the liberal. A conservative who strongly believes abortion is murder isn't likely to date someone who believes abortion is a choice of body autonomy and is willing to fight for the right to choose.

They did some polling and it's the general sentiment.

https://today.yougov.com/topics/society/articles-reports/2020/08/13/dating-political-beliefs-pol-data

There are newer polls that reflect the similar sentiment, perhaps to greater degree, but I am feeling lazy at the moment.

As mentioned, it was a variation of that but basically it was "Your family seem to be nice people but they're too hispanic for me and I am not comfortable being around them. You're different and act more white and even look more white than they do. You integrated in our culture better than they did." This was... very insulting.

He told me he didn't want to be around them again.

Him not accepting or respecting your family is a fine reason to not continue the relationship. Personally I'd be interested in figuring why he thinks lowly of Hispanics but of the course, there's no future, given what I brought up about Hapas above.

Some people can change. I am less harsh than others on CE and generally give people a chance. I provide reason to users that others tell me not to bother with. I tend to give the benefit of doubt more often than not.

That being said.. it's not everyone's place to educate others or give people a chance. Different people have different energy levels. Educating others isn't really any of our jobs. As you mentioned, different people have different tolerances.

Well, there are people out there looking to impose their will on the world and ideals on those around them. If someone doesn't take up the mantle of educating others, someone else will and it will be a concern if you don't agree with what they're teaching.

hmmmm not wanting to date people whose political philosophy involves purging all queer people, all non-whites, etc.

seems unreasonable

Yeah well, you won't ever come to solidarity unless you have a conversation with the other side to understand why they think the way they do and they come to understand why you think the way you do.

Is that the only thing you took from my post?

Doe posted...

That's the exact sleight of hand liberalism performs in real life. You never see the meaningful change to structure and institution. It's just assured to come like the end of a fairy tale if you pledge to support the structure and institution as it is now.

BRO, JK Rowling got stumped on figuring out how write a compelling method of Harry, Hermione, and Ron becoming best friends while they were grouped off in the obvious houses they were supposed to be in, Ravenclaw and Slytherin for the latter 2 respectively. So she gave up on them being sorted in their logical houses and threw them all into Gryffindor.

If she couldn't come up with a compelling scenario there, why expect her to write a compelling multi-volume story of Harry becoming a revolutionary hero that meaningfully impacts and progresses his society for the better?

Rowling is clearly a brilliant writer for creating such a compelling magical world, but that #6's post, I think that was out of her hands.

I don't think I can understate how big of an investment a marriage is. You may say the guy's intentions are foul, but if he's still upholding his obligations in treating his family well with flying colors, that speaks well of his character. His mind can be changed and he will respect the individual despite the population the person comes from. And it's telling when we live in a culture where liberals have zero tolerance for conservatives when it comes to dating while conservatives tend to be more open minded about dating liberals.

If he's being rude and treating people awfully and flat out embarrassing you, that is definitely a deal breaker. I wouldn't want to date someone who treats people like dirt either. But if he says comments to you privately that you find rude and offensive, why not have a conversation with him about it and engage him on why he feels such a way? Breaking a relationship off with someone over him saying "Oh, why can't more of _____ be like you?" comes off as shallow to me (granted most men don't have an overflowing amount of options so they would be more willing to compromise than break it off). We all have preconceived notions, it takes exposure to new experiences to evolve them.

Case in point, I had a really good buddy back in college who had vendetta against women and certain ethnicities. When I engaged him on why he felt such a way, we came to the conclusion that he was projecting his anger on women from one of his earlier relationships as he hadn't gotten over how it ended (he got kicked out of college due to the shenanigans that took place then). So people who remind him of her get him started. So anytime he says something offensive about them, I just bip him with a blow up hammer and tell him to stop projecting.

I admit, I have more tolerance than most, but this is basic shit, communicating with one another to understand WHY people think a certain way.

Wouldn't a racist person detest the idea of being married to a non white person and having non white kids? If it's just a front to fool people, he's going pretty far with it

Indeed. There's no investment needed when someone says "I have friends who are ______". In contrast, if a guy is married to a girl of some ethnicity, not only is he socially obligated to provide for her and raise her children, but he's merging their families and potentially will be continuing both of their bloodlines. If the guy is racist, then that would speak highly of his character if he treats her well and is a good husband.

You don't seem to understand what Im getting at. Are you implying the entire organization is a scam? If so, can you link me to an article with the accusations?

They received over a billion dollars, what have they accomplished besides buying new mansions for their top leaders?

You're an idiot if you think any sizable organization isn't gonna have scammers coming into it and taking advantage.

This particular organization dominated culture a couple years ago. I think you're vastly underplaying the problem here.

ElleRagu posted...

he does bring up a good point about how women rarely attend/watch women's sports and that we should uplifting our fellow women

only valid part of this rant imo

The comparison to the Khardashians is critical as it implies there's a market for women that exists (as in they have money and are willing to spend) but it's absolutely damning to see who's commandeering that market.

I've never watched a Kim Khardashian show, is that really what they do? Tear at each other?

I remember the day at this one Chainlink virtual conference a couple years back, at Mashinsky's presentation, we were all laughing at him as he desperately tried to convince us Celsius was a DeFi company and not a bank dabbling in crypto. He may (and did) fool casual retail investors, but for a number of us who are quite knowledgeable of the field, we abide by the golden rule: "Not your keys, not your crypto". If you don't have access to the private key or someone else has access to your private key of a wallet address, consider the assets in that wallet no longer yours. Even if you put them on a trusted exchange like Coinbase.

In any case, between him, Do Kwon, and 3 Arrows Capital, the industry's reputation and goodwill has been setback several years so it'll be more difficult to win the common populace over. In any case, it's going to be interesting to see what new innovations take place in these next couple of years that make it to mainstream attention.

Spend $1K on a 100 Chainlink tokens and spend the next 2 weeks reading everything about Chainlink and how to secure your new found internet funny money. Congratulations, you found the "Google" of blockchain projects (in terms of influence, not functionality, it's closer to TCP/IP in terms of functionality). And if you don't want to take my word for it, just listen to the former CEO of Google give Chainlink (and the industry at large) his blessings.

I have not been following this. Is he just an asshole or is he a criminal?

Last I checked (2 months ago) there were allegations toward him but no charges yet. But I've seen another video of a girl showing her bruises that haven't been explained yet.

Otherwise, he's the latest in high value male alpha bro status dude capitalizing off the crisis we have of the rapidly growing population of males who are disillusioned, unmotivated and checking out of society. It's a shame that people, mainly his critics, don't understand this.

I misread the title as Andrew Tate being your personal assistant. Did a whole write up thinking how crazy it would be to leverage your new found influence on all these disillusioned and demoralized men.

Fun fact. Many men cite "Other" rather than cost than woman and gay men on why they didn't pursue higher education. This is in a poll that includes cost, taking care of family, working too hard, etc. What needs to be done?

Encourage more people to pursue education. Reduce costs as a barrier to entry.

This doesn't explain men participating in the workplace less and boys' worse highschool performances than their female counterparts.

From the second link OP posted:

Some of mens dislocation is an inevitable product of modernization, which, by making physical brawn less economically important, blurs men and womens social roles. It is not just America, after all, where more women than men earn college degrees. There are also more female than male college students in Iran and, to a lesser extent, Saudi Arabia.

Or maybe this teacher is not teaching in a way that the students find engaging and helpful?

again, I dont think NYU terminated their contract with dude because of just some student petitionthat didnt even call for his termination. There had to be something else going on here that the university could see

He mentioned that there had been a trend of grades falling across the decade with it plummeting thanks to Covid. But besides that, he said the students have poor attendance which was not refuted in the article nor were they compensating to make up for the reduced communication for the isolation in lieu of the pandemic.

Organic Chem has historically been a weeder class across every college. I never took it but even I remember my friends suffering immensely from the course to the point where even they went to the provost over the professor as she didn't get along with them that well, and probably 6 out 20 or 30 passed that I'm recalling the situation. In their case, I know those guys were studying a metric ton for the course.

Here, for a professor who devised the academic standard on how to teach the course, I'm going to be more sympathetic to him given what was said in the article. Especially because I'm going to need a good deal more of a reason as to why the kids weren't showing up to class or making up for their lack of participation.

Not going to watch a video, but according to this article the couple are multi-home landlords that were willing to buy up all 3 condos for sale for cash so they could rent it out:
https://atlantablackstar.com/2022/09/20/an-option-for-chinese-couple-sues-texan-by-way-of-taiwan-
real-estate-agent-they-say-refused-to-sell-to-them-because-they-are-black/

Not that it changes very much, but it's worth pointing out that they likely have/had no intent to actually live there but instead saw it as an opportunity to scoop up property earmarked for older asian families so they could rent it out to them at profit.

From the article:

"Lin, the agent, allegedly took them on an uncomfortable tour of the property, but still, the family was not discouraged. For them, this was not personal but a business investment."

I did catch in the video they planned on buying 3 units but it had me confused on why they would want to sue the seller AND still want to buy the units. The article confirms this, they had zero intention of being a part of that condominium community. I don't think that's right. We already have a problem of people buying up houses purely to rent out on Airbnb which drives the prices up for the market. And this is on top of Black Rock buying up properties across the country to rent out.

saying that kids these days just dont want to learn is some serious people dont want to work anymore boomer energy

I posted an archived link of the article. Did you read through the article? If kids don't show up to class, don't watch the lectures, don't ask for help beyond "make it easier!" and are clearly disengaged from the class, whoever's teaching the course is going to think they're not putting in any effort.

Here's an archived version of the article if you can't read it.

Reading the article, if I were in school during Covid, yeah, I'd probably be one of those kids that would get detached and fail out of school.
