The wealthy don’t care who you hate: the elderly, foreigners, immigrants, muslims, jews, black people, white people, the chinese… They’ll be fine as long as you’re fighting amongst each other.

How do you usually learn stuff? You could find a book on the topic and read it. Theory can’t fully replace practical experience, but it can carry you at least some of the way. Or if you’re more hands-on, you try stuff out, see how well it works (or doesn’t), and then use Google to figure out what you did wrong.

Many people have written off flirting / approaching in person entirely because of this.

Giving up before even trying does not sound like a winning strategy.

The funny thing about men is that most of them are terrible at flirting, but it never bothers them enough to get off their asses and figure out how it works.

It’s not magic, it’s a skill like everything else.

Torment does not create torment. It’s being created by the torment factory within the nexus. Nexus was not valued.

I agree. Most countries are trying to reduce their dependency on the USA right now. And why wouldn’t they, when the whole world can watch how Trump uses this dependency as a weapon against them.

I’m not sure if he doesn’t understand trust and soft power or doesn’t care. Maybe he realized that he is able to utilize it to temporarily get what he wants, which makes him look like a tough negotiator, and that someone else will have to deal with the long-term consequences of the broken trust.

I love it. We need to watch out for each other. We certainly can’t rely on the US anymore, even though some politicians haven’t accepted this new reality yet.
