Lira has scrubbed his dating-coach material from his YouTube channel after turning to war reporting, the Daily Beast has the receipts, which include a 2020 video advising men to “never date a woman in her thirties” since a single, childless woman past 30 is a degenerate **** who is about to succumb to “baby rabies” and will do anything to trick a man into marriage.

The first I knew of Lira is when I watched a 'Chief Red Pill' video.  He rubbed me the wrong way and since then I have wondered if my opinion of him is fair.

It is hard.  Lira's complex background puts him in multiple categories.  One of the many categories is pushy NY East Coast know it all.  'I am smarter than you and always right'.  It makes him look unique at first glance, but East Coast pushiness always pisses me off.

Phil, Come on over to the new address.  The new place is getting more activity than this one.

As to this video he is more right than wrong.  But we have to wait to see if reality agrees.

Phil is not being punished.  The statement I added to our new registration agreement has nothing to do with you or Phil.  The banter between you 2 triggered it, but it is a good thing to have in our registration agreement because trolls love to lie and accuse people of being 'opposite' from their professed sympathies.  They know it pisses you off.  I am a veteran of Clusterfuck Nation.  I have seen you post there.  I know about trolls.

K-Dog, I've never participated, posted, or done anything at Cluserfuck Nation. I think I clicked on a link provided here  at this website once, and noticed that it was so full of ads, that it wasn't even worth reading the article I went there for.

So WHAT are you talking about?

There is a farmgirl there.  I thought it was you. No big deal.  The character there is not weird.  Since you have not been there but once, I suggest you continue living a clean chaste life and avoid the place.  Things get nasty there.

I have history.  Been there since 2005 when Kustler was pretending to be human.  Sometimes I roll in the mud at Kunstler's theater just to see if I can stay clean.

'Members shall not accuse each other of backpedaling on previous statements without showing a quote documenting the previous statement.   ?

I don't feel it is necessary to punish Phil for just misinterpreting something I said related to when the basics of collapse came into view, if I were going to offer up a date when you could begin to see the basics arriving in public. I stand by the quotes he came up with, his interpretation was just off.

I am a free speech guy.  But I go medieval on trolls.  In that there is no contradiction. 

If RE wants to put anyone in the 'cooler' like he used to, he is free to do so.  But to  do that RE needs a code of conduct to cite as a reason.

RE and I are decent guys .  But here we have the the power of god.

My two cents:  There was discussion in the tower of babble around 1970 about the world going to **** by the year 2000.  The date was delayed by a cosmic microsecond when tight oil substituted for easy oil, which is GONE.  Original 1970 doom discussions neglected other conversations in the tower.  Some diabolically evil.

The powers that be, whom have had a lock on the American psyche since they told women to smoke with 'torches of freedom' in the 1920's dealt with 1970-ish Earth Day discussions.  They killed them dead.

Can we have it forthwith that any accusations of someone saying for example Tonga would disappear or a peak equalling an instant apocalypse, be backed by a direct quote. Call it the April fools Day nobody's fool rule

What say you RE?[/b]

Seems like a good rule to me.

RE

Figure out how to say this the right way and we can put it into a code of conduct in the registration agreement.  The new place of course, since we can't alter the registration agreement here.

'Members shall not accuse each other of backpedaling on previous statements without showing a quote documenting the previous statement.   ?

That's fine.

RE


This is what I have right now.  New members see this if they click.

We need more guidelines, I can add them as we remember them.

Greetings from Global Collapse,


The 'Global Collapse' forum : https://globalcollapse.createaforum.com/index.php is moving.

The NEW incantation of the DOOMSTEAD DINER forum, the 'DOOMSTEAD' is here: https://chasingthesquirrel.com/doomstead/

Two years ago the Global Collapse forum continued the Doomstead Diner forum on when the Doomstead Diner closed. 

RE, the owner of the former Doomstead Diner is an admin at the new Doomstead.  The new Doomstead forum is under my (K-Dog's ) domain.  I am the other admin at Global Collapse.

Moving the Doomstead forum from the createaforum umbrella becomes desirable.  Createaforum is fine, but we desire more freedom.


K-Dog

If you are already there, you will get one too.

A bizzy year beginning in Tornado Alley.  So far about double the seasonal average.

Power outages in tens of thousands, widespread damage reported from Arkansas tornado

RE

Someone will say that tornadoes have been around forever and climate change has nothing to do with, an increased stochastic propensity.  ****.

Alan Novak said to Judge Potter Stewart. "Mr. Justice, you will know it when you see it." The justice agreed, and Novak included that remark in his characterization of pornography.



I don't know is it ?

You will know collapse when you see it.  You may also think some things are collapse which are not.  Only a total idiot will think there is no collapse when there is.

The world has a lot of total idiots.

Except for FG it's not real. It doesn't meet her definition of collapse because it's not happening fast enough for her and not enough people have died yet.

Everybody dies, but collapse is special.  While everyone dies society goes on.  I think that is FG's point.  Society is going on.  For now.  In many ways with social changes that are not so good.  But tomorrow still brings a simulacrum of yesterday.  We limp on.

When tomorrow no longer resembles yesterday, and can't because nothing works we won't be arguing about what collapse is.  We also won't be able to argue.  No power, and no way to host a website.

We are in pre-collapse.  It it is hard to argue collapse has not begun.  If everyone got smart, an impossibility. collapse could be avoided for centuries.  But the truth is we are past a dozen tipping points.  It is only a matter of time now.

The measure of misery is not the measure of collapse.  Misery is only an indication.  Collapse causes misery, but collapse is a special kind of misery.  Misery is possible without collapse.

Civilization will return when intelligent squirrels find RE's tombstone and extract the info about the original Diner from the digital archive in the stone.

Consider this: 

This is not collapse.  It looks like collapse, but the road still has organized traffic.  Society goes on, but obviously the people in this painting are in for more bad times.  The people on the right side of the road are flooded out.  Buildings are underwater.  What will happen on the left side?  The painting does not tell.

The picture is 'in denial' of collapse in a way.  It suggests 'we' can adapt.  One side of the road still lives.  If we can always adapt there will be no collapse.  A ridiculous perspective.  Thinking there is always a way ignores how much human flesh is alive.  Math says we will collapse. 

Without oil there are far to many to feed.  Social breakdown is inevitable, but we are not there yet.

Working on a logo for the top of the page at the new forum.

This picture of a diner was made in my computer from a 3-D model of a virtual diner that I found online.  I moved the camera just inside the door.  The software that does this is called Blender.



Not what the logo will look like,  I will make my own model.  But this pic shows the basic method I'll use.   A picture of a 3-D model.

This pic is too dark, too tall and it could be wider.  It is only an example.  The final picture will be from the outside looking in through windows.  Like the Hopper painting.



Notable about the Hopper painting is that it is high resolution and can be zoomed in on to see fine details like the salt and pepper shakers.  I could do something like that.  In the real painting the coffee level in the glass tubes of the big decanters can easily be seen.

Well, right now gas is available at most corner convenience stores, just as it has been since conventional peak oil happened in 2005. You can also buy a truck delivery for your 3000 gallon farm tank if you are worried about not having enough for your monster truck or tractor, just pick up the phone and have it delivered.



Buying of gas will be observed by circling buzzards long after it becomes unobtainable to an average Joe.  Then the infrastructure to get it will totally break down and we will have collapse 2.0.  Like a release of Windows.  Collapse 1.0 will do in billions before the total breakdown.  Collapse 2.0 will follow 1.0 quickly.  The road to ruin is rapid.

Reading the discussion the thought comes that we should remind ourselves collapse is real.

Bald tyres, and over 100mph on the wrong side of the road, drunk and high.  And I was lucky enough not to crash, but that was then and this is now.

Such behavior will likely bring on a personal collapse.  Personal collapse is nothing new and always true.  But, if you can't get stuff to get high with and your bald tyres are not going anywhere because nobody has gas, that is beyond personal.  That is a real collapse.



On a global scale.
