Might be unrelated. I heard about some dude who was so annoyed by that myth that he would crack his knuckles all the time but just on one hand. He did it for like 20 years just to prove a point and apparently his hand was fine.

That the PSP was a flop.

Was it convincingly outsold by it's main rival? Yes, but the DS is the second best selling system of all time. The PSP still sold over 80 MILLION units and is one of the top ten best selling systems ever, far ahead of the likes of the NES, SNES, N64, every Xbox...

Masturbation fucks up your testosterone!

No, it doesnt. There is very little-to-no correlation between testosterone levels and ejaculation. All your favorite athletes who claim theyre stronger/tougher for not stroking their junk are just drinking the kool-aid.

Next.

Actually no. Your testosterone levels reach peak levels about 7 days after orgasm.

I'm not sure if what you describe is what you actually believe socialism is.


Nope, because Nazism isn't socialism. And Hitler didn't do either of those things.

I heard that it originated from monkeys but was not initially contracted through sex, but rather through blood, from people eating diseased monkeys ("bush meat") in the jungle. It only spread through sex after any patients zero caught it from eating tainted meat.

astrology

I used to work with a guy who was very into astrology. So much so that he even wrote a book about it. But the interesting thing about him was that I never got the impression that he believed astrology was the be-all and end-all of the universe. He seemed like an intelligent guy. I absolutely believe he'd place actual science and logic over astrology any day. It just happened to be a big hobby of his.

Maybe my impression of him is wrong though. He definitely did like talking about it a lot.

Astrology is real but not in the sense people think it is. People who are susceptible to it read their assigned personality traits when they're young and subconsciously grow into that kind of person. And then the horoscope is just daily advice that applies to that personality type and may very well be useful to them

do you think it might have turned out better for formerly socialist states if the US didn't kill their leaders, wage war on them, place massive embargoes on them, fund counter-revolutionary groups, and install fascist dictators?

I think it was a vice documentary where I saw it. It didn't specifically say that this was the original source of the disease in humans, but it focused on how it is still spread in Africa today by this and there are doctors that go around with hunters and actually test the bush meat in the field to determine if it is safe to eat as a humanitarian cause. I deduced from it that this was likely how people first contracted aids, but I don't know that it is verified. Just makes more sense than monkey-fucking.

What does that have to do with communism?


When you say "It only works on paper", the usual implication is "It only works on paper, because it's failed every time that it's been attempted" even if you coach it in language like "human nature". But if the reason that communism has always failed in real life is that the US has tried to stop it from succeeding, that really says little about the hypothetical success of that system.

It'd be like if I said to you that bars "just don't work" in my hometown, because they always lasted a month before having to close due to lack of business, but disregarded the fact that I regularly firebombed bars in my hometown.

IDK if masturbation specifically decreases your testosterone but depending on HOW you're masturbating it's probably not good for you. Especially if you're circumcised and use a very firm grip... you're just making it harder and harder for yourself to come AND you're losing sensitivity (which circumcised guys should be very worried about)


You can just not touch yourself for about a month and get the normal sensation back though

Keynes actually saved the U.S. back in the 30s. Marx critiqued capital so I don't know what "Marxist ecocomics" are. If anything, Reagenomics and Thatcherism should be discarded as they have taken two of the most powerful nations on earth and ruined them economically despite their proaganda. Just like at the U.S. And UK now and see.
