the part where you're falling off the boat here into the sea of total bullshit is that this problem can only be solved by individual male action

average women in relationships with shitty men isn't an option. shitty men are too shitty and average women are adequately fine on their own. a relationship with a shitty man is such an unimaginable downgrade from catlady lyfe that an ever increasing percentage of women are overwhelmingly willing to give up having children rather than risk it.

it sucks that men have to fix their individual problems in a situation that was collectively created but here's the thing. it's really, really attractive. in fact there is nothing more attractive than a man beating the odds ffs.

and because humans are sexually dimorphic and heterosexuality is asymmetrical it doesn't work the other way. a woman working on herself and overcoming great odds and beating the system is cool and everything, but it's not sexually attractive, while a man doing the same thing is insanely desirable.

the problem holds the seeds of its solution! selfimprovement is the way gentlemen, also make some money and buy some land.
Big part of the problem is that both men and women hold unrealistic standards for a partner.
Porn sick men think that the average woman should look like a top onlyfans earner they jerk 24/7 too. Their social media will similarly be full of woman with tons of makeup, filters and operations. So you end up with a man that goons all day, looking for a virgin trad wife that looks like an OF whore and is willing to debase herself to fulfill all his extreme fantasies, all while probably being out of shape, and not doing anything with his time. So if a regular but still attractive decent looking woman, who maybe had one or two partners comes along he'll probably think she's fugly and a whore.

On the other hand you'll have a shitton of women who swolled the WAHMEN power pill, and think they deserve a 6 feet tall, 6 figure salary earner with a 6 pack. They deserve this much, despite being obese, unhegynic(redundant) and usually pretty unpleasant to be around. There's also a huge amount of women who think they deserve a man who is obssessed with them just like in their porn romantic novels, and will bitch if a man "doesn't know his way around a pussy", despite needing a vibrator that shakes like a busted washing machine to get off. Or they expect a man to have his life figured out in the current hellscape, despite having over $10k in credit card debt, because they just HAD to buy the newest trendy bullshit.

TLDR: The consequences of social media and normalization of ALL kinds of porn have been a disaster for romantic relationships.
 
The Iron Dome is made to stop short-range rockets and artillery shells, not ballistic missiles.
So they willfully attacked a country that has the ability and firepower to retaliate and they have no defense other than relying on the USA? That's how I'm reading into this. 4chan is filled with bullshit, but I read Netanyahu fled Isreal right after the attack on Iran to Greece. Anyone know if there's credit to that, all I can find is random shit stating his private jet was seen in Greece.
 
I really loathe Ted Cruz and his ilk - the chickenhawks, the israel-first tards, the phony patriots. It’s the neocon redux.

The people calling this a cheap gotcha are truly retarded, including the boomers in this thread. If you're going to argue for regime change, especially as a senator who will have a hand in it, you should know some facts about the population, demographics, and geography of the country. A cheap gotcha would be if Ted guessed 80-100 million and Tucker pulled an aksually on him. Cruz is a senator with a significant public platform and pull behind the scenes. He should be grilled on important issues, not baby'd because he happens have a "R" next to his name and opinions marginally better than the average geriatric baby-eater.

Israel has Popeye nuclear missies in submarine and Jericho 3's that can do the same back at Iran but with 200+ nukes.

Israel's playing soft and absorbing it. Why? We did it on 9/11 and still think we should nuked all islam. People are soft and stupid.

Beyond what you've said, I'd say a lot of people just don't see the benefit of being in a long term stable relationship. They genuinely think settling down is some kind of burden, and they're better off alone doing whatever they want, especially because they don't have kids.

I see people all the time in relationships that fizzle because they just don't want to put in the effort to fix it, or even adequately maintain it, and let it fall apart. If it takes talking to their partner clearly about what the issue is and working together to fix it? Not interested.

Being married means always trying to be the best person you can be so you and your partner are always growing together and proud of how far you've come? Too much pressure I'd rather just rot.

Not to mention the rampant mental health issues, including genuine problems from general poor health, problems from being numbed out and apathetic from being over-medicated (SSRIs etc), or issues from the idea that talking about your problems with a stranger will fix them and that nothing is actually your fault (therapy co-dependency).

I find it all quite depressing because marriage and kids is a path that can be incredibly fulfilling and a relief from a sometimes harsh clown world, one of the best consistent sources of fulfillment and pride and swathes of people are lobbing it off as worthless drudgery.
The "I hate my wife" boomer memes probably also don't help.

Edit: The demographics question isn't a cheap gotcha, it's a question of second order effects. If you topple the current government who is most likely to fill the vacuum, what is their demographic, how will they change the rest of the country? Tucker brings this up in relation to the killing and persecution of Christians after regime change due to who took over and the demographics and relationships between the people in the country afterwards.

They are using multiple systems currently. Arrow 2 and 3, David's Sling, and the US THADD. Iron Dome is a low level system
 
I only saw the clips posted here but regarding the Iran question, as somehow who is gunho about going to war with Iran, this kind of basic elementary school level info should be a no brainier
Elementary school students can't give demographic statistics of any country off the cuff, and Senators don't generally memorize trivia to prepare for briefings because, as gay and retard as Congress is, it's still not a game show.

Hard disagree. Memorizing demographics isn't actaully important to staying current on what's going on in Iran. It's more important to know about the terror networks they back throughout the Middle East, like their relationship with Hezbollah.

A cheap gotcha would be if Ted guessed 80-100 million and Tucker pulled an aksually on him.

Cruz actually mentioned this exact range and asked why it matters precisely where, in this range, the true number lies. He's been in the Senate for like 20 years, you think he's never sat through a briefing on Iran? He clearly knew Tucker was pulling a gotcha and was trying to avoid the game. When he specifically asked about the 80-100 million range, and why the exact number matters so much, Tucker stammered that it is just really important to know it's 92 million because IT JUST IS OKAY.

In fact, this is basically what happened with the demographics question. The vast majority of people in Iran identify as "Persian," but when Ted said Iran is "Persian," that wasn't good enough for Tucker. Because he didn't want to grill Ted on important issues, he want to ambush him with a trivia contest so he could call him an idiot later. Which he did. So I guess Tucker won, and he'll never get to interview Ted Cruz again.

He should be grilled on important issues

The exact population of Iran isn't an important issue.

Don't act like that isn't entirely Californian Boomer's fault, as they flee their shitty home state and retire abroad, driving up the prices in Arizona/Utah/Nevada/Texas.
Currently the west half of the US is experiencing population growth due to that, yes. It's why getting an apartment anywhere over here is mental. Even when a new apartment block or house is put up, it's already sold out.

Kek, as if corporations ever gave two shits about you, they know you'll come crawling back with all those knives on your back and those bus tires all over your body. You'll vote blue again no matter how much they shit on trannies.

They hate normal people more than anything and that's never going to change, they'll chop off an arm and a leg to own le ebil nazis before standing up to the people that use them endlessly.
 
What’s everyone’s thoughts on BBB?

While it’s nice that Trump got his no tax on tips and there’s money for ICE and sure: You have to make compromises, but I can’t help but think that it’s another pork filled disaster.

ONE TRILLION DOLLAR pentagon budget.
Few DOGE cuts.
BORROW MORE! What’s an extra five trillion borrowed money between friends?
 
Cruz is retard and I believe the only reason he got as far as he got is because he will unapolegetically suck off israel, and has no allegiance or loyalty besides that.
He really is. An absolute snake. Remember how he was the biggest critic of Trump and wanted to “rescue the party” before he figured out that the best way to climb to the top was to get aboard the Trump train, and when Trump inevitably kicks the bucket or can’t run again, pretend to be their heir?

Tucker is a real one. He’s sharp as a tack, and exposed what an empty barrel Cruz is.
 
The exact population of Iran isn't an important issue.
Sure.

The important issue is that he doesn’t know the first thing about the country he was to bomb.

Stuff like “ethnic composition” is important, if you want to avoid another total fiasco like Afghanistan or Iraq.

People like Cruz of course don’t care, since they’ll pass on the blame and don’t need to deal with the fallout. Like regular Americans will.
