FUCK I hate companies that use shitty foreign call centers for ALL customer contact!
Got a notification that my credit card was successfully added to "my" mobile wallet. Problem is, I do not USE Apple Pay or Google Play whatever it's called.
Called the number on card as the notification recommended as I did NOT take this action. 2 calls totaling 15 minutes, and the best this foreign guy could do is tell me in a heavy accent that I could undo the action in the Apple Pay or Google Play app. He told me he was unable to block those as merchants, and couldn't grasp much less answer questions of whether using the card at a merchant who uses either as their payment servicer could have triggered this notice.
I've always been bullish on the concept of Capitalism as a business owner and buyer/reseller of goods and services. However, the state of Late Stage Capitalism as it exists today has me questioning my faith in Capitalism as a going concern. I see money funneling upward from the lower and middle classes and getting concentrated into a very small number of elite hands. The process seems to be accelerating toward an endgame, where said elite is burning the system to the ground to scoop up what they can. The US debt is currently in a Hockey Stick graph that is adding $1 TRILLION dollars approximately every 90 days.

There's buzz about the Iraqi Dinar about to get revalued and speculators are bullish on acquiring this currency.
Before the Gulf War, it was valued at US$3.xx per Dinar. The USA precipitated a crash and shortly it was revalued to US$1 buys thousands of Dinar. Read of US service members buying millions to hold and that it turned into a serious long tail investment. Anyone here have insight into this currency and its recent attention?
The USA narrative about the first Gulf War was that Saddam attacked Kuwait for no reason, and President Bush called it Naked Aggression. At the time, I drew a political cartoon comparing this to Clothed Aggression depicting Bush marching into Panama draped in the American Flag.
Turns out, Saddam had legitimate beef with Kuwait. He had large debts to that country in the aftermath of the long Iran-Iraq war. Kuwait was producing well above their OPEC allotment of oil, which was undercutting Iraq's oil profits costing them US$1 billion a year. He also claimed Kuwait was slant drilling into Iraq's side of the oil deposits and stealing them. Saddam tried to resolve the matter through diplomatic and economic channels, but OPEC countries basically said too bad, how sad and did nothing. The Emir of Kuwait told him to his face, "I will bankrupt Iraq and turn every Iraqi woman into a $10 whore." Saddam reached out to the US State Department which told him, "We're not going to get involved in Arab-Arab conflicts." After all of this, he launched the Kuwait invasion. Suddenly, America DID care, and American troops and tax dollars got involved.

Hello everyone,
I've recently embraced the red pill and am eager to connect with others on this path. At 26, I've spent much of my life as a die-hard romantic, always treating women with respect and kindness, looking for that perfect symmetrical relationship of care and support. Despite these efforts, I've been through a rollercoaster of relationships with attractive partners. Last year, a painful breakup with my girlfriend—who left me for an older man due to my clingy behavior—was a serious wake-up call. I managed to win her back using strategies from Corey Wayne, only to realize she was a 304 and end things for good.
This breakup catalyzed my dive into personal growth in masculinity and dating dynamics, leading to a phase of casual relationships. However, I eventually fell for someone special, my oneitis, who initially reciprocated but grew distant as I reverted to old habits. I wanted to make her my girlfriend (wrong mindset ik). After two months of dating she read into my intentions and said she wasn't looking for a relationship. I ended up things only to text her again after 3 weeks. We got back to it again but this time I had already read some redpill content and was trying a different approach, practising detachment, treating her like just one more girl and keeping emotional distance. This had a dramatic effect on her interest, she started to go crazy for me and after couple weeks she told me that she needed things to go back to something more "stable" and "linear" (basically: having me back to my beta, clingy ways for her to regain full power). I was blunt and clumsy due to my overwhelming emotional investment: I refused to comply so she dumped me. She was a party girl, unnatural hair colour, openly feminist and bisexual and didn't respect her dad, also bad relationship with her family, so she wasn't long term material. Anyhow, I realized that I lost a great prospect for FWB-sex playmates (also threesome potential) because I wouldn't admit to myself that I wanted sex and fun, I'm still ashamed of my sexuality and my sexual desire and this leads to me being overly respectful and not assertive in sexual encounters.
Now, three months post-breakup, I'm grappling with intense suffering, longing and guilt. I feel like she's the most attractive girl in the world and I could never attract anyone as hot and fun as she was. But, I'm committed to learning from this. I'm focusing on casual dating to better manage my feelings and desires without overcommitting emotionally. I've taken up new hobbies like Brazilian jiu-jitsu, learning how to be a better masculine man, upgraded my wardrobe, looking for a brotherhood and I'm pursuing my ideal job. Next time I'll do things right from the get go. I just wasn't expecting to receive the interest of such an attractive girl. It was the first time in my life that I had dated the "best I can do" girl.
I'm here to share experiences and gain perspectives from those who have navigated similar paths or are curious about this journey. If this community is active, I hope we can support each other and grow together.
Looking forward to meaningful discussions and shared growth.
Consider investing into a reliable ready reference you can pick up and study to better prepare yourself for engaging the opposite sex. I'd suggest that you get yourself a copy of Doc Love's "The System: The Dating Dictionary". Doc Love, who until his passing was also known as Tom Hodges, wrote a weekly advice column that's archive is mirrored on several mens focused sites and a podcast. His media is a bit pricey, but it's a solid foundation a guy can branch out from in RP aware circles. I'd suggest you review his advice column to decide if his view on dating and relationships is aligned with what you aspire for yourself. To save yourself a search, give this scribed link a gander to find out if his book is something you'd like to add to your library. It should also be available on libgen.

Well, us North African gave them a shelter, and they never misbehaved, until Palestine of course..
I think thr Kazharians want Kazharia back.
Ukraine is Kazharia.
The activities of the Barbary pirates and the wars which concluded their operations would suggest otherwise and unfortunately confirms that every heterogeneous civilization that has had inner-societal and inter-cultural problems, upon investigation will find that on some level those problems were exacerbated by materially ambitious alien populations such as the Jewish, the Kurds, and their shared ethnic precursors.
To be honest, those who serve the diabolical will pay whatever the price needed to enable them to exploit a society and they pay well, indeed.

Stellar Blade CENSORED on Day One! Gamers are P*SSED!
So much for Stellar Blade releasing intact and uncensored. Yes, a Day One patch not only removes the "Hard R" but also censors several of Eve's outfits and reportedly tones down the blood. Is this Shift Up's fault or Sony's?

St. Peter Chanel April 28th | Saint of the Day
www.youtube.com/watch?v=4UAsyBQ6hbw
In St. Peter Chanel, Priest and Martyr (Feast day - April 28) The protomartyr of the South Seas, St. Peter Chanel was born in 1803 at Clet in the diocese of Belley, France. His intelligence and simple piety brought him to the attention of the local priest, Father Trompier, who saw to his elementary education. Entering the diocesan Seminary, Peter won the affection and the esteem of both students and professors. After his ordination he found himself in a rundown country parish and completely revitalized it in the three year span that he remained there. However, his mind was set on missionary work; so, in 1831, he joined the newly formed Society of Mary (Marists) which concentrated on missionary work at home and abroad. To his dismay, he was appointed to teach at the seminary at Belley and remained there for the next five years, diligently performing his duties.

+ And I thought to myself "they can't be that cruel".. but then again they kill kids so..
"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."
— Sun Tzu, "The Art of War"
I meant in reference to the Jewish families relocating back to the Ukraine. They're likely Soviet-era branch families like Ben Shapiro's that migrated out of the USSR as the Soviet Union declined. For all intents and purposes, this is what I'd learned black Americans refer to as 'one step forward, two steps back.'
It's an interesting phenomena to see this all play out before my eyes, instead of reading it out of books. You can see just how fast the Jewish can monkey branch even with their own and secure themselves in a new, or in this case, old country. When you more closely scrutinize their collective behavior it becomes easier to understand why there's a rampancy of mental illness and moral illness in their population. It also reminds me why sub-Saharan Africans so eagerly employ deadly force against them and their agents with such glee. Evil is cancerous to a societies health, and bloody as it is, the only solution is cutting it out.
By the way, while Idi Amin did nothing wrong, however Muammar Gaddafi jumped the gun.
