What others said, stop.
Poles do not muttify their language like beaners. They either speak fully Polish or fully English. Even on /int/ the running joke is to mistranslate English phrases.

It's good I am a sadist but have some common sense.

I can torment my characters all I like and viewers will call it good writing. I cut give some of these characters a break too and they'll call it "great ending" too.

After intense analysis, I have determined that this picture does not portray 20th century Europe, and is thus irrelevant. Please reconsider your question, or chose a picture that more adequately embodies 20th century Europe, either in spirit, or in subject matter. Alternatively, delete this.

Thank you kindly,

Suppose you're a bookie, and someone owes you $100, but they're not paying you back. So you hire a thug for $200, and ask them to give your debtor a nice beating. You've "lost" $100, but in reality people will think twice before going against you, so it was really an investment in your reputation. A similar case may be made for Youtube, Google is (probably) losing money in running it, but at the same time there's value in keeping it around, since it's a monopoly for video streaming.

Liberalism is the worst thing to happen to leftism since the Maoism and Stalinism. Before people associated us with authoritarian murderers now they think we're all degenerate faggots obsessed with 'cancelling' and 'pronouns'. We need a working class leftist movement that focuses on real class issues and not liberal 'woke' bullshit. Our current two party system is a complete fraud, no wonder why almost half of Americans don't even bother to vote.

Based anti-zionist jews. Zionism is a cancer not only on the world but on Judaism itself. Insisting that your race is somehow superior to others and that justifies taking their land is morally no different than Nazism. Judaism itself is a good religion but so called Jews are up to some terrible shit today, and not just in occupied Palestine.

I want to understand all major philosophical ideas and know all significant literature. But I plan to achieve this without reading any books, at all, just by reading discussion on those books and memes and I plan to engage in those discussion heavily, without outing myself. I want to see what it's like to perceive world through simulacra of knowledge. I'm not even joking. Thoughts?

your kindness... give it to me

When will you realize nonduality is the highest philosophy, the end all metaphysics ,the last spiritual stage. Abandon all mental masturbation philosophies which do not lead to liberation as they are nothing more then entertainment for the mind.Sages who wrote after they reached the ultimate truth not before it .

"Ramakrishna practiced meditation with yogis, and he said that all these were progressive steps and did not condemn them. Yet with Vivekananda he taught that religion and yoga were not the end, for they can never directly lead to Brahma-gnana. Teachings other than Vedanta are for beginners only. There are stages in comprehending truth. Hence Sri Ramakrishna taught Vedanta--the highest truth--only to Vivekananda. All his other disciples were taught Yoga, mysticism or theology. He kept a Vedanta treatise (Ashtavakra Gita) hidden under his pillow when others came to talk, but when he was alone with Vivekananda he brought the book out and taught him from it."

Most are filtered and not ready this , only refined souls reaching a critical point of evolution.

Imagine being free of problems of the body and mind, of all social conditioning Realizing how unreal your desires are, emotions that arise ,the changing states of mind ... all unstable and changing ,the only real unchanging self is the witnessing awareness .That which is playing the role not the role itself( identity gender,race,nationality... etc all part of randomized character creation) the stage observer.
Awareness that is non-separate but makes distinctions so one can still function in this reality ,as zen saying goes '' rivers become rivers and mountains become mountains again''
Being able to rest in wellspring of eternal self liberated in nondual blissful awareness.
Realization beyond all appearances and forms.
"This self was indeed Brahman in the beginning. It knew itself only as "I am Brahman." Therefore it became all. And whoever among the gods had this enlightenment, also became That Brahman. It is the same with the seers (rishis), the same with men. The seer Vamadeva, having realized this self as That, came to know: "I was Manu and the sun." And to this day, whoever in a like manner knows the self as "I am Brahman," becomes all this universe. Even the gods cannot prevent his becoming this, for he has become their Self. Now, if a man worships another deity, thinking: "He is one and I am another," he does not know. He is like an animal to the gods. As many animals serve a man, so does each man serve the gods. Even if one animal is taken away, it causes anguish to the owner; how much more so when many are taken away! Therefore it is not pleasing to the gods that men should know this."

- Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 1.4.10.
