The bullshit thread

[Pimpin]

Why are you guys so defensive and introduce new comparing points as if that was my intention at all.
Oh x country is is rich because of y, and without y it wouldn't be. I can point to ten gazillion reasons why western europe has those hundreds year old fancy buildings - and they were built by both, unethical "sourcing" of materials and labor. "Worst place to live on earth", seems quite an exaggeration, every country has its own country specific advantage that it leverages to get a competitive edge.. oh remove this from europe see how it is, oh remove that from china see how it gets.

Again, I do not want to seem offensive but I do not think you understand how much it would cost to modernize some of this stuff.. pay terminals is not some gov led initiative that costs billions.. merchants/startups jointly can lead to alot of adoption, digitally able people would work too.. making toilet for free is not a billion dollar initiative.. Brugges has 8 million tourists yearly, they can have taxes to mantain their toilettes. How much do you think cleaning a toilet costs? Its not a trade off between welfare and 50 cents for toilet.

Again, every big city has its good parts and bad parts, london labor does not live in kensington. But obviously you havent been to north/east/south london, or even past w1, nor in paris, nor in brussels..

My overarching point is that, private and publci sector in europe are asleep, and you guys are just getting defensive and starting what aboutism.. its eerily similar to balkans, oh we might be shit but 1,500 years go we invented the fork, and we have a guy in a horse that was smart, and we are cradle of civilization.

Last point, UK had none of the issues that western europe, particularly belgium has.

just to built on this what if example of yours:

take out cheap gas from Russia and Chinese exports, both with splendid Human Rights record, then europe is nth but an amusement center.

I'm going on a trip to Miami for a few days (leaving tomorrow). Any recommendations for food and shopping? My hotel is basically a 20 minute walk from whatever the main strip is.

I also want to try some American fast food places like iHop, Shake Shack, etc.

I never been to Miami but;

whoever says Slovenia isn't balkan has never been here

sure, geographically only a part of it is a part of the peninsula, but culture wise this is ALL BALKAN

we sure ain't Italian or Austrian

 

[brehme1989]

Was joking due to the geographic part but I'd say Slovenians are a bit more distinct than the rest of the Yugoslav Balkanites. In a manner Greeks or Albanians are also rather distinct from the rest.

Do we consider Romanians to be Balkanites as well? I don't know where we draw the line anymore.

Just put Kanye in the insane asylum already... but of course they won't, because he brings too much money. His Pete Davidson rants and antisemitism peaked into pure insanity levels.

Sanity >>> talent all day, any day.

Even Elon "Free Speech" Musk blocked his twitter account.

fucking moron

Bro elon brought him back to twitter Elon loves this shit.... ( just saying cause ye was suspended after a tweet that made fun of elon and not after the swastika tweet)

Anyways i ll never understand how we as a society and especially the US cannot distinguish between someone being great/ a genius in one field and being a complete idiot everywhere else and a complete asshole on top of this....
It s always uhh but he s that smart uhh but his music is genius uhh but he s so rich he cant be dumb, uhh he starts rockets.

Does not fucken change that their humongous assholes and we should not provide them a platform that is outside their tiny field of expertise. like every time Ye starts to talk about a topic that aint music cut off his fucken mic...


Whats even more pathetic is especially VC bros coming in and defending these horrid takes of other celebs and VC bros.

 

[Conan the Barbarian]

Kanye West = Uncle Ruckus

 

[Ethor]

Guess Kanye music won't be playing at any bar mitzvahs, so that's a big plus. Praising Hitler while being interviewed by the bald idiot. On a happy note: he purported owes the IRS 50M, When is the next missle strike experiment on an asteroid? They can use him as ballast.

the college dropout should've stayed in college

 

[crzdcolombian]

fucking moron

Like they would have killed him too… not like they liked black people

I don’t think the dude is racist. I just think he is crazy and refuses to back down so instead is doubling down on his stupidity

 

[TheNetworkZ]

Has he even said anything other than naming (((them)))?

I listened to the whole lex friedman podcast and thought it was hilarious. Lex has no spine so it was funny seeing him get really offended when kanye said he doesn't trust him.

I've seen 1 or 2 clips from info wars and he just mentions that there were some good that comes with the bad, in a not so great way ofc. Operation paperclip being an example.

What? The dude litreally called himselfe a hitler fan on a fucken podcast if that does not qualify as racist what the fuck does?
Also he was about to go defcon 4 on jews what ever the fuck that was supposed to mean.
Now dont get me wrong there is something mentally wrong with the dude but that does not excuse all the racist shit he says....

Some quotes: “Every human being has something of value that they brought to the table, especially Hitler,” Ye continued. “Also Hitler was born Christian." (especially hitler? And who the fuck cares if he was christian? )

“They want to separate and confuse the Christians and make us afraid to stand next to each other,” Ye said during his unhinged tirade on Infowars. “Because Jesus can save everyone, but if the Zionists can get us so afraid that they’re going to do what they’ve been doing to me. … You put on the whole armor of god, and they will not be able to break your spirit.”( can it get more fucken racist?)

Ye pulled out a bottle of Yoo-hoo chocolate drink and a small net he indicated represented Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, mimicking him in a high-pitched voice saying, “We have to control the history books. We have to control the banks. And we have to go and kill people.”

You see or hear any person say this shit and you go thats a fucken racist... Lets not make an exception for ye cause he made some good tracks...

 

[crzdcolombian]

I am not making excuses for him just saying nazis would have killed him too…

My mom side of the family are all blond hair with green or blue eye Italians. They left Italy because they were Jewish and would have gotten killed in ww2.

Just saying a black guy is totally fkd.

Also any idiot who doesn’t get that Christian’s are Jews who have 3 extra chapters of a book are pretty fking stupid.

I get this I was more confused by you saying he s not racist....
Listen to him and imagine the things he says come out of a white non famous guys mouth everybody would say he s a fucken racist....

Lmao Kanye and especially Elon are not geniuses.

Neither are as bad as Ezra Pound but you'll never see him under-appreciated in literary communities.

It's impossible to de-platform people in this day and age, and if the artwork is good enough it'll stand the test of time in any case.

But thats exactly my point........ Talk about Kanye as a music producer or artist as thats what he s good at, but why the fuck would you bring him on to talk politics? Also if he s fans would have turned on him a bit earlir and stoped buying Ye s when it became obvious he s a complete asshole/moron maybe he would not have been gone that much off the rails....... But no he was a genius....

Same goes for elon remember Trumps we gotta protect our geniuses? That was directed at Musk and was when trump saved his ass...
One does not have to be a genius to be looked at one and Musk is the obvious prove of that. Says vile dumb shit all the time and half the population thinks he s the next fucken nikola Tesla....

I m not saying deplatform them but if idiots would stop reading or turn off the TV when these two idiots come on to talk politics instead of listening to them and then go apeshit one way or another we would be way better of.

Like who is surprised that kanye or elon are vile assholes that think to highly of them selfes? really should be nobody
