Yes, violent fantasies of what you're going to do to Chad and Stacy is standard incel fare. I don't see it as serious discussion of policy.
If it was, I'd say morally it's an evil policy - you need far more, and more tangible evidence of harm, to harm others. Practically, it would require the incels to win against the chads on the battlefield when they couldn't on the football field.

My assessment is that you are intentionally aiming to be as inflammatory as possible to another commenter with the above, perhaps in an attempt to "teach a lesson" to someone you disagree with.
??? I think it's because Sloot didn't want to be castrated, or be 'erased from the gene pool' for the crime of not living up to his full potential or fucking girls @thejdizzler pines for. Which aside from being petty and mean is quite a hardline policy, let's face it.

I don’t know what the big deal is, if you repeatedly defend Tucker Carlson against his critics, I will call him your idol and your pal. Plus he praised the literary value of jk rowling’s books, that’s a level of personal dedication maybe five adults on the planet can muster.

I didn't mean to suggest anything untoward in your steadfast support for this writer of beloved children's books. I tried and failed to think of a softer alternative to the word 'idol'. Your 'pal', jk rowling?

I think you know what I mean – there’s a tension between liberal egalitarianism which you generally support, and your traditional view of manhood as special protectors and providers, paying for everyting before going to the gallows with a smile. You foist plenty of duties on men you would never foist on women. They’re not even allowed to make a fuss on their last moments on earth when they’re wrongfully executed. By contrast you indulge women their tears in every situation, and tend to view them as innocent victims, like your idol feminist JK rowling (I’m not talking about the "anti-trans" stuff, which is fine and compatible with liberalism).

Yeah, one is banned from the digital world, the other from the analog world. Astral plane, mortal plane. Hard to tell which one hurts more to lose, soul or body.

but otherwise, no, I can only despise the "morality" you advocate.
On what grounds? Your idea of 'manlyness'? You're generally liberal, but the sex stuff is your achilles heel.
Also, your example is of someone being unjustly and arbitrarily executed, not someone being justly punished for his actions.
Right, but I don't think Hlynka thinks he's been justly punished for his actions. Personally I don't consider most of the permabans the mods hand out justified.

They're just going to remember you as a whiny, blubbering coward.
Pure vanity. A grave injustice and your life hang in the balance, this is not the time for such superficial concerns. If morality requires you to cry, you cry. If your duty requires you to die despised, then you swallow your ego and holler like a bahamian.
Btw, I don’t know, and thanks to mods’ I won’t know, but I’m pretty sure that Hlynka, as the NCO law-order-honor-type, would not back my defense at all, which I find amusing. As is tradition, since I’ve always maintained he should not be banned, even though he himself was the most pro-censorship of the mods.

I am hugely disappointed that rather than taking your ban like a man
Never understood this concept. In Paths of Glory, when they decide to execute three soldiers at random, one of the condemned starts whining and dragging his feet, saying it’s so unfair and he doesn’t want to die, and his executioners and their priest tell him to show courage and die with dignity …. But why should he help them to commit an unjust act?
That quivering mess is the only honest man there, and moreover he’s morally correct. You want your “comrades” to have nightmares for years where they see you begging for your mother – their conscience torturing them is good. You don’t want them to commit a grave crime, then eat breakfast like it’s tuesday.
When you make it easy on them, you are cooperating with defectors. In modern parlance, by acquiescing to your own destruction, you become a cuck.

I don’t know how your friend managed that; In the original thread, the OP of little faith had given the put he dared us to buy – CCL was trading at 42, the 30 put a year out was 1.35. The next month the stock fell to 12 ; so that ‘s 13x, then it fell even further to 8, before rebounding, so if held till expiration, 7x.

Good point. All the hyped anti-aging drugs haven’t panned out either. Because things very very rarely do, and it’s good to always keep in mind that nothing ever happens. I hadn’t really considered it here, because like most rats/transhumanists I tend to pattern-match every criticism of ozempic, or of a hypothetical anti-aging drug, with a kind of moralising, small-minded complaint - ‘it’s the easy way out’ , ‘it’s unauthentic thinness’, ‘aging/dying is a part of life’ etc – I immediately dismiss.

Novo Nordisk's glory days are behind them
All the pharma companies’ chart look like that though. I’m not sure these drugs and their implication have really arrived on the street. Cremieux makes a good case for regeneron, I’ll add it to my scattershot leaps package.
There's also attacks on the patent regime (might be lost in Canada which might be a backdoor into the US) and also the borders seem quite porous to gray market sources entering the country.
I’m going to go with the nothing will ever happen heuristic. I’m not really concerned about risks like that since these are deep oom calls, the stock(s) either blows up or not, I’m not trying to conserve its value.

Ever since the halcyon days of early 2020, where some yahoo dared us rationalist corona panickers to buy puts on cruise companies, I’ve been trying to recreate this missed opportunity (turns out, it wasn’t priced in).
Ozempic’s been getting a lot of good press in rat circles. Leaps calls on novo nordisk/eli lily?

Happy to save a life. I beg you, eat something. But not too fast or you’ll pass out.
I already told you about my cousin’s vegan girlfriend who died of thinness at 29. That really opened my eyes to the danger of vegetables.

I’m a utilitarian, but even granting human-level moral worth to animals, I have no problem with cannibalism, in principle (avoiding the brain for health reasons, etc), so eating human-like animals is obviously fine. You are what you eat. The closer to us the life form, the more nutritious. It’s unnatural to eat grass and wood like vegans do. Say no to exophagy.
I was thinking about that watching Ravenous, where cannibalism gave you super strength and eternal life. There’s a great contemplative moment in the middle of the film where the hero lies in the woods wounded, while seasons pass and the cannibal just enjoys nature. In the end cannibalism was a tortured metaphor for colonialism and capitalism. Fine, those things are obviously awesome and bring eternal blissful life and immeasurable wealth. But cannibalism as a metaphor for the fire of life itself would work too. Get busy living, or get busy dying. Those who walk away from omelas are the latter. Are you so self-hating that you would scorn your own meat?
It is an absurd position to tell me that I am a twig or emaciated at that weight when I am well within the bounds of a healthy BMI.
By what measure? By whoever wrote the BMI definition(probably some ascetic quack), yes. By the light of modern science, no. BMI of 20 for a man is severely underweight imo (any connection to the topic above purely coincidental). All meta studies find lowest mortality in a BMI range of 25–30. Mortality for the (lower than BMI 20) is as high as the (higher than BMI 35) group.

of the sexual revolution and the very negative consequences it had on many young women. My mother tells stories about half her friends at 14 years old (in the late 1970s) having 25-30 year old boyfriends who picked them up outside school. That is the way it was.
Were normal, middle/upper class girls screwed up by stuff like this? All I know is I like my hippy aunts better than the tightasses. And I don‘t really see much regret or complaining from that generation compared to younger ones.

There is a much more parsimonious explanation why she spurns the lentil millionaire and welcomes a big spender, even on credit: she likes money. No evo psych needed. If a male chimp gives a female a banana for sex, the female was not attracted to the chimp‘s banana procurement skills or his status: she was attracted to the banana.

How can you abandon the non-racists to be devoured by those nazis? Without your help, we are surely lost. We’ll be forced down the alt-right pipeline, and it’ll be all your fault when we come out brown on the other side.

We have terrible problems with muslims: poverty, criminality, hostility, and increasingly, political demands from a repressive fundamentalist religion. Learn from our mistakes: not every immigrant is the same. Let in hispanics if you want, but avoid the green ones at all cost.

For example, I read somewhere that 80% of people under 20 in Belgium are not Belgian, effectively that means that that nation is over.
I don't think that's correct. Some limited version of that statement may be true for brussels:
In 2020, among those aged under 18 (of Brussels residents), 83,9% had at least one parent of non-Belgian origin and of those 60,1% of non-European origin (including 37% of African origin). wiki
Your justifications are all over the place and incoherent. They boil down to resentment. Lotharios don't need to lie to those women to sleep with them (what are they, proposing? In this day and age?). And obviously you don't castrate people for not being maximally productive. Nor for being too hot ('make standard dudes invisible').
