Probably never. I guess you could hoard some gasoline maybe.

>doesn't include actual literacy rates
I'm willing to bet even accounting for immigration and shit, that literacy rates have dropped over the past 15 years or more.

There is no benefit to *actively* participate in race wars, especially when your "own" people hate you.

Kids are growing up not only glued to iPads, but now using LLMs for school work and everything else. Compare it to the millennial and older generations where you had to sit down with a book and figure out how to write about it unaided. At best you could copy someone else's homework. There's no chance the younger generations are getting as much practice reading and writing in their younger years.

>>324843
it's even worse globally. I can't find the actual stats this quickly but white % or high iq % of world population if you want to include east asians is dropping faster globally than it is in the US.

It's pretty funny. When I was a kid I used to think the "if you use a calculator for everything, you won't learn how to do math!" line was bullshit. But now that I've seen a generation offload their entire brain to a machine I realize my parents had a point.

I hope they can learn to think at some point in their lives without Big Tech's assistance. Some seem to be trying. But I know that the forces that be would really rather they didn't so I don't have much hope that they can learn.

>>324950
Even written books are a mental crutch compared to rote memorized poetic epics. The ancients looked at the proliferation of books with suspicion.

>>324954
Consider this as an alternative with Ethiopia. In this way, the Bab-el-Mandeb will be controlled by the more stronger Egypt…. and that allows for more absurd situations akin to what you have with Iran today.

>>324955
And also, how great for the pressured Christians… They would relocate to the autonomous land of Punt, harness their strengths, develop it to be years ahead of anything in the mainland, in consequence thus rebound from a trivial party to becoming the majority power over Egypt given enough time.
Failing to include the territory of Punt into Egypt, moreover failing to make it a self-governing territory, plus failing to make Saba independent from Yemen, then transitioned to a more secular state, means you can't obtain the true maximum fulfillment of this mission of 'Making Egypt Christian'.

>>324955
For Islam, the Shia-Sunni split will transition to a 'progressive' and 'conservative' split analogous to the Republican/Democrat fiasco. Only 2 nations in the world will remain Islamic: A. Eran/Persia (meaning also the autonomous territory Sapta Kashmir) which'll bear the progressive, open and inquisitive banner, with a new capital around Uzbekistan, B. Arabia, bearing the conservative banner, centered around the genesis point of Mecca.
Egypt, Khartage, Akkadia, Yemen, Saba, Sudan, Nagalaysia, Europe Minor (Turkey west of Yozgat), the Balkans.. the rest of the world.. only secularism remains, or else Christianity, Judaism, and in the case of the Americas, Judeo-Christianity. But Russia is an exception, because right after annexing Mongolia, Belarus, Ukraine up to Odessa and Georgia too, it goes for Kazakhstan, whose southern most point of Turkestan sits right next to a vital point of Eran. Thus the Islamic influence is inescapable, making Russia an Islamic-Christian state, but that's a nice reflection to America, which is Judeo-Christian. Everywhere else, once Eran and Arabia stop sending over proselytizers and funding construction of mosques, it all vanishes.

And that's for the best, because why should a European be muslim? Look at the balkans. They're only muslim because of a brutal enigma. Why should Africans be muslim? Why Indonesia and Malaysia despite all those Indian temples and such? Why Xinjiang? It's artificially drummed in these places and an aberration, and this artificiality and aberrations will all disappear in the new world. It already has in Xinjiang, so it shall everywhere else. Absolutist monotheism makes sense only in Eran and Arabia, but not so elsewhere in the world, where it just leads to retardation. It can't even work with Israel and the Jews, seeing as how they perceive themselves as peers and equals with God.

>>324938
The Kalergi Plan is quite real, it's just that it's only focused on territories far away from Israel's immediate control, which is to say North and South America.

Israel can access Africa, Australia, Asia, Russia pretty easily. Everything there's more or less connected, but this isn't so with the foreign and far removed America, which should ever it turn against Israel, won't be easily incapacitated due to the oceanic barrier.

Therefore, to prevent that from ever happening, you make North America India, you make South America Africa.
You want 99% of everyone to be either Indian, black African, a Mexican or a latino. That's to say more mellow, savage and servile.

>>324940
In contrast, you want the more immediate states around you to be robust, powerful, strengthened, well reputed, productive, or aesthetically pleasing.
Immediate for Israel is Eran, Egypt, Babili, Khartage, Europa, Sapta Kashmir, China, Russia, Arabia, Saba, Aethiopia, Victoria, and the list goes on.
It's everything apart from North and South America. And probably, despite it all, India, just 'cos they're filth incarnate, reprobates, heathens, scum made animate, cursed by God to be mongrel ape monkey animals and damned from birth to death. Any proud son of Judah as with all other sons and daughters would advocate for their slaughter. But if reformation is possible, then reformation should be pursued. Once they retreat from the North East, Ladakh, Kashmir, and the Himalayas, is there any reason to antagonize them? Perhaps, but not strong reasons. Certainly not so strong that they override good faith.

>>324928
It'd be pretty bad if you made Russia a proper technological state, given its vector of force depends on exploiting primeval character. You don't need to extend spy and monitoring apparatus beyond stationing humans for the task. Giving people a spy-device and having cameras everywhere won't do. Rather, stationing spies, watchers and men here and there and everywhere is good.
This is a country fashioned so only one region is developed, that being the HQ and place wherein the president rests. Everywhere else, development should be no more than what the common Polish household had in 1994.
Should Russia become significantly more tech-advanced and should monitoring function through complex contraption as opposed to the most simple of means, the primeval element distributed across the nation will vanish, making rebellion and insurgency more likely. This is in contrast to regions elsewhere in the world where urbanization and deploying of devices and cameras lessens rebellion. In Russia, the more widespread opulence becomes, the faster disaster brews. Letting things operate as nature intended with the farmers farming and the business men tending to kiosks and the mechanics doing what they do more than suffices to keeping a lid on things. But if the Russian is thoroughly modernized and given access to all amenities the rest of the world enjoys, the first thing he'll do is stage a a coup d'etatat, and then another, and then another.
The country should be no more modern than Mongolia, which soon it will annex, with some toleration accepted by the spoilt Kazakhstan, which soon it will annex.

Gog and Magog should be just that–savages. Not creatures who carry around future-tier tech. Some fairly modern amenities are acceptable sure, but no further than in Moscow and its outermost zones.

Otherwise, Russia will spiral to collapse. Only diminishment and grey miasma keeps that from happening. Stepping beyond ersatz good and into true good makes the country fall apart.
All that said, Russian borders should be tightened against the Chinese, and maybe it's best to conceive a more robust new intelligence agency. Though saying this, the paradox of a not really monitored but really monitored state via conventional means somehow has to be maintained. It should be possible to run into the forests and escape in the mountains… in iPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

The Mongols were in the illuminati card game I'm sure, and if you hypothesize what the best strategic option with that card is, you end up with Russia annexing Mongolia.. and its brother Kazakhstan.
There's no way the RU can stand against the might of a totally integrated EU otherwise. What option is there but to play the 'Mongol Card'? >>324928

It's been a long time since I've seen a thread hit the bump limit and then start bumping again after the post count went 200% above that limit. I think it was the 2016 US election version of this thread. This one took a good minute to archive off-site and it may have to be excluded from the local archive because our back end has a hard time converting threads this large. I've made a new thread and locked this one.

I'd like to request the guy making the geopolitical predictions with the colored maps to just make your own thread about your interest. It obliterated all other discussion in this historically open, long-lasted thread.

King Von wasn't stupid at school yet remained a gangsta doing drills on the opps. Just like many wizards wasn't stupid and turned meets and hikikomoris.

I've been on my PC every waking moment I could do so for the past 24 years or so.
For me, a recent thing is trying to embrace phones and a tablet I got for further consumption and comfort.
Never was addicted to a phone since I was at a PC all day, why bother right?

I don't mind it too much, I'm on it to numb myself. I often just stare at the screen as of late, not even scrolling any manga, let alone doing the gargantuan effort of playing games.

The only issue I have is with digital hoarding. I know the internet as I knwo it is coming to an end so I should really start hoarding.
Having so much unsorted JUNK I saved over the years is causing me mad anxiety too.
I need order, but pic rel is unsortable… can't let it go either.

I got about 6TB of SSD space open for once I start scraping the 35k bookmarks I hoarded over the years as well.
Mostly manga, doujins, r34 pics, audio/voiceworks crap like that that isn't really worth it, but would give me peace of mind to have my own offline library. Wish I wasn't so retarded about it and knew what to do.
Was looking into lanraragi and hydrus but they aren't exactly plug and play and idk what would happen to those hoards if I had to move drives to another PC that might not be windows in the future.

TL:DR; digital hoarding gives me mad anxiety
I considered purging most if not all I have currently downloaded and questioning how much I should even hoard considering I might not even be able or desire to jerk off much now that I'm 30.

What would I even do with my time without it? I can't imagine it. I have a tiny 2x5m room. I tried hobbies like mini painting, carving, drawing etc. but failed at acting on them in the long run.
I'd just put the stuff in front of me and stare at it like it's a screen. Fucking hell…

I guess being a pc addict is the root of my problems after all.

I don't even care anymore, I just try to be doing productive things while on the computer. Reading, learning about hardware and software, doing some math, etc.

>Don't you guys have headache and blurry vision after a while of staring at the PC?
you should get that checked out because that could be a sign of diabetes, macular degeneration, multiple sclerosis, corneal edema or glaucoma. i've been staring at a computer screen all day every day for the past 30+ years and have no issues. only time i have eye strain is if i turn off ambient light around screen (pitch black room) for too long or skip my sleep. as for headaches, i used to get chronic headaches (unrelated to screen time) but cured it with magnesium glycinate supplement

>>324880
> i've been staring at a computer screen all day every day for the past 30+ years and have no issues

CRT monitors cause eye strain you lying retard so if you were using them back then all day and everyday you definitely did experience some issues
It's been proven that crt can cause visual problems such as cvs

Wow… I cant believe its been so long. I think I'll look back to the 2016-2025 as the surreal lolcow DEI era…

>>324668
Same as you. I'm looking back and realizing how surreal and ridiculous this was, when back then I just kind of dismissed it as nothing significant.

Mark my words, this will be a real thing in China within a decade. At least for succubi.
They're still at the "we will pay you to have kids" phase, but once their succubi keep being succubi, married to and dependant on the state while chasing an unrealistically high standard in their extramarital dating life, they will move to the stick rather than the carrot.

I like to go out for a run about four times a week if it isn't raining out there. Sometimes, I can only run two or three times a week. It's better to run in the morning since after doing it you can see the whole day in front of you, it's like it expands

>>324511
>I like to go out for a run about four times a week if it isn't raining out there. Sometimes, I can only run two or three times a week.

that's amazing. currently i am not really running but doing 2 or more 30-60min walks per day but what you do i believe to be even better because when you go fora run you sweat more.

>It's better to run in the morning since after doing it you can see the whole day in front of you, it's like it expands

yeah i have noticed the same thing, when i exhaust myself a bit early in the day, i can make way better use of the day. i am in the process of slowly adjusting myself to getting up earlier to around 7am after being a nightowl for many years, i believe this helps too because the human body is somewhat of a plant and benefits from being exposed to natural sunlight. life at night is possible but i believe humans are meant to be up during the daylight to get sunshine on the skin.

>>324451
i wish the dude in your picture had a more pure approach because the costumes and theatrics are cheapening the genuine ability this dude bothered to cultivate. it looks so silly and childish but the discipline necessary to become able to do the physical feats would have been impressive to me otherwise. i suspect this is done to appeal to females who are too brainwashed into relating to the bright advertisement world to care about anything that isn't obvious.

>Noted: a blender (usb-c portable variant) > alle.

other ones looked so small so i think i found a nice one … until the battery becomes weak and then i am hoping i can change it. no idea what the battery inside looks like.

i think aldi sold one once and i regret not buying it but it was probably also a small one.

i am happy to report i did use it to drink so much lemon and banana smoothie that i effortlessly reached this state of always feeling cold, which i only managed to reach through many days of eating nothing and only drinking self-made fruit juice. was unpleasant because it was winter where i was. this cooling of the body is so pleasant in the summer.

- "A site for (/_/17U23|) h4><><orz doesn't need "rules", - I thought. My old "rebel without cause" self was telling me to avoid checking the clearly visible "ru13s" button of the site.
- "In modern terms, a button for rules of the site could have been a honeypot…"

To my surprise, I suddenly heard my own voice going all boomer:

- "Bak in mah days, "rulez" had a very different meaning".

"How far back are you talking about here?" chirped the cassowary.

I felt a lump in my throat form—coagulated from pure nostalgia—and replied "Too long, man… too long."

"Well, I don't exactly know what you are referring to by 'rulez', but check them out, they'll be useful for you."

"I think I prefer to do things my own way." Wow, I can't believe I said that. I could notice the intensity of my heartbeats increasing, but not following rules rulez.

"Look, I was assigned to guide you, but I'm not some babysitter. Tell me when you give up."

Fucking bird brain. You think I can't crack this site? I'll have you know I've…umm…well, I've made a few scripts and designed my myspa—wait, why the hell was I chosen for this?

I defiantly chose not to reply and continued frantically rushing through pages and trying to interact with every element. As my desperation began to grow, that toilet roll's presence began to irritate me. Just the same animation again and again, making that stupid face, at the exact same pace. Hold on. That time it took a bit longer. It isn't a basic loop, the two states mean something deeper—1s and 0s! It can't just be 10101.. though, maybe the length determines the length of how many times a binary digit will repeat before it alternates.

I opened up a spreadsheet, a Wikipedia page for ASCII representation and started to track the times.

>not much? to me that is a lot. when you eat everything at once you never know, if you only eat the same you know after a few days.
this shouldn't be necessary in the first place, this situation where most of the food in the supermarket is toxic slop shouldn't be here in the first place
I believe food safety laws were invented in the 19th century because they started adding detergents to bread which killed people, same situation now basically

>>324106
>this shouldn't be necessary in the first place
i don't see the point of you arguing with reality. you either understand the nature of reality or you cling to what reality tries you to tell you it is even though you have eyes to see that this isn't true.

>this situation where most of the food in the supermarket is toxic slop shouldn't be here in the first place
yeah but since it is you better become expert supermarket navigator and understander of the human digestive system since the people who pretend to look out for you don't.

>>324140
I meant this is something which could be easily avoided with proper food safety laws.
All this disease and decline of public health, for what exactly?
I don't believe this is planned either, just sheer indifference and stupidity.

>i've bought from more then 10 different brands so far and they all taste different but i never had one i did not like.

this is no longer true. i have tried all the brands again and tried one on vacation and now i can clearly tell that the majority of sesame paste aren't good,

the only good ones i know are:

>i think the last thing i am missing to begin doing it more is get a thermos that i like. i have a few that are too modern and colorful, i yearn for something plain and simple XD

i finally got 2 new stainless steel thermoses that i like, only took me a few months!

one small 500ml for 4€
one big 1000ml for 6€

now there is no excuse left, i can finally massproduce tee for myself and sip it throughout the day. first tea from actual herbs i made is an anti-parasite tea. i make it from

>cloves
>wormwood shreddings
>black walnut husks
>pinch of cinnamonpowder

the cloves are mild and pleasant, they taste like christmas to me. the wormwood is also pretty mild, they smell like healthfoodstore. the black walnut husks were expensive and they taste and smell nasty plus they make the water darker then coffee. the cinnamon was an attempt to make it taste less disgusting, didn't work but i keep it in the recipe because it is also healthy. i tried to add fresh lemon juice, still nasty but after a few cups it stops tasting as repulsive.
