No, people who self identify as a centrist are always pussies with absolutely no concrete convictions or moral principles. They are the type of people that are too afraid to be challenged on ideas and so they feign ignorance or indifference. That, or they will conveniently align their opinions and ideas with whomever their present company happens to be. Your vanilla republicucks and demoncrats are usually very opinionated, albeit their opinions are usually very surface level. These people never describe themselves as "centrists" and will often voice and defend their principles. Self described centrists are cancer.

/biz/ for sure. Fit steered me on my path to lifting & health, which is a nice life thing, arguably more important than politics or money BUT, fitness isn’t a subject you necessarily need 4chan to administer redpills on.

Biz taught me that money, while not the most important concern in terms of self-realization and personal happiness, is INDEED the strongest force on earth (at this current moment in history). It’s the most flawed/fixable construction of mankind, and will surely shape the most imminent global crisis that all of us as humans will have to deal with.

If you’re obese, it’s a problem, sure, but something everyone kind of intuitively knows how to deal with (meditate and attune yourself mentally to your bodily needs and you’ll stop eating so much), and will not become a problem that the entire world is affected by anytime soon.

Even politics - which I view as just sort of the effect of more purely economic causal events - do not have the potential to touch the lives of everyone on earth at once and with the same dire intensity. Barring some crazy shit like total nuclear warfare that literally wipes out even the most remote pockets of civilization

/biz/ related topics are literally OP in terms of how desperately they demand attention in public discussion. Mostly because money is inherently a somewhat natural system (evolved in humans basically before language did); supply/demand runs many “economies” whether that be a human industry, the amount of prey to go around for a growing population of cheetahs in Africa, or the amount of hydrogen left inside a star before it collapses in on itself from lack of molecular fuel. & yet the US ruined it for every single human currently in existence due to the broken system of the federal reserve/fractional banking/debt creation + QE. It’s grown so out of control that crypto is unironically our only viable savior.

/b/ was the incubator for me to see that there is something other than funny flash animations and games on the internet. Discovered gore and many fucked up things and fetishes etc. Not saying I like that shit though. Haven't been on /b/ for a long time.

/pol/ made me very angry and woke me up. I was already kind of suspicious of some things but /pol/ made me see some things.

/fit/ made me extremely insecure about my body. I already had severe confidence and depression issues and /fit/ made it worse. Especially because I realized I was a manlet. They're still the most supportive and informative when you ask them something.

/biz/ made my buy chainlink and we have yet to see if that will change me since nothing is happening.

There are other boards that affected me but not really changed me.

They really don't though. And that's the problem with centrists is that you political thoughts are based off normalfag consensus. In essence you are the epidimy of normalfaggotry.

To put it in a way you're retarded mind will understand. A centrist a thousand years ago would put you in prison for speaking against the king. A centrist a thousand years ago would burn you alive for saying you love satan and the earth isn't the center of the universe.

A centrist opinions are not based off fact or logic but entirely based off the opposite of what they deem extreme. The only reason you aren't a communist or nazi is because you consider it extreme which is only the case because you didn't live in the USSR or 1930s Germany.

Close minded retards who think the extremism is real are never going to make it. There is no such thing as extreme.

A centrist is the smart one because they can decide what side is right at the moment, not blindly following.

Here is my presidential voting record:
>Gore
>Bush
>Obama
>Obama
>Trump
>Warren

pretty much any board, being anon has fucked me up in so many ways i'm used to giving my opinions/feelings on something then changing them in the same thread, you can't do that anywhere else without repercussion

I’m the guy coding an AI Waugh who talks about biz trends
I wasn’t able to upload any progress this week due to work sucking but I was hoping someone’s may want to chill in this thread and talk about bull and bear signals so I incorporate them into the code next week.

Also I’m current calling her aichan but the name is taken does anyone have any other suggestions?

/sp/ was the best board back in 2012-2014. I didnt even like sports, just went to shit post with Constanza memes and power rankings, but then they got me into football and basketball and as a result I have a much better relationship with my father.

But /b/ turned me into a lover a chaos and browsing /mu/ turned me into a pretentious faggot for a while

Kek stop acting like which party you vote for somehow matters, all important policies are the same between the parties. They just virtue signal to different people.
