Do what ADHD people do best. Zone out, and if your name is dropped, zoom backwards what was said and try to catch up before zoning out again.

Working in cooperations is the definition of insanity. Been there, it’s crazy. And yes, there the lying and cheating part is most likely to get you ahead.

Usually veiled in religion. Also the American dream, work your way up instead of investing into education.

Business owner here, even if not a very good one. These kinds of CEOs exist, but there are far from the norm. And they usually act that way because the owners of the company expect them to lead that way. There is a crowd mechanic of many people owning some of the stock of a company. It leads to some psychopathy as nobody feels responsible and everybody wants to earn some extra Money. Look into a documentary called “cooperation”.

Most business people, especially the more successful ones are the classic boys club people. They get good deals by being friends and knowing people that give them access. It leads to a culture where what you earn has more or less nothing to so with what or how good you work. If you know the show billions, watch it and look for the making of episodes. There is a lot of real world experience in the writing.

17, i like some air around the bits

Its called white supremacy. They want more white babies to be born.

Size doesn’t matter. I’m close friends with a dude dating in his 50s and his dick just doesn’t work like it used to after he had a heart attack. The women are usually very understanding and often like the challenge. Someone loving you for who you are wouldn’t even be bothered by something like that as long as it’s about love. And if she physically needs more sometimes, just buy a dildo to help her out. Nothing more or less as if she needs dirty talk. Just oblige and make her happy as she makes you happy.

Why would you buy a new car if you are dead broke?

Yes and there is a heatmap plugin that allows creating heatmaps from daily notes with tags.

Look into obsidian, especially with some community plugins

This is the way.

This. Did a seminar on these techniques during my it security degree. Porn sites invented that to detect people that use competing sites.

Jup, something is missing in this story.

Given the rise of the far right in Germany, I tend to agree. This would bundle EU resources and take control from single States in case the far right takes over.

I’d very much like that the right not take control of the strongest EU army right after we build it.

Also turns out bouncing your leg and similar activities are surprisingly good at burning calories.

Gosh. Normal people get an education and learn how these things work. And now you don’t have to trust the government or anybody for that matter because it makes sense and it works.

You don’t have to be a car specialist to know that is you put gasoline in it, it goes if you need it.

An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.

They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.

So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.

My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.

Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.

Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)

So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.

Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.

The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.

I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.

I was planning to package that and release it as open source.

Still might do that.

Already throwing him under the bus I see. That was as quickly as expected.
