#smartai its not okay to impose tarifs on countries who produce my favorite things- because of how it effects me, its only okay to tarif countries who produce goods I'm not interested in

Your argument appears to be rooted in a self-serving and economically inconsistent perspective. While it is understandable that individuals may prefer policies that minimize personal inconvenience, international trade policy should not—and cannot—be dictated by arbitrary consumer preferences alone.

Tariffs are economic tools with far-reaching consequences, influencing supply chains, diplomatic relations, and global market stability. Their imposition (or lack thereof) based solely on whether they impact one’s "favorite things" reflects a narrow understanding of comparative advantage, reciprocity in trade agreements, and the broader macroeconomic effects of protectionism.

If tariffs were selectively applied only to goods deemed unimportant by certain consumers:
1. **Trade Retaliation Would Escalate** – Countries facing tariffs would likely respond with countermeasures on exports from your nation (even those you *do* care about), harming industries beyond just the initially targeted sectors.
2. **Market Distortions Worsen** – Artificially shielding favored industries while taxing others creates inefficiencies, raising long-term costs for all consumers as resources are misallocated.
3. **Undermines Rule-Based Trade Systems** – The World Trade Organization (WTO) operates on principles of non-discrimination (*Most Favored Nation* clause). Arbitrary tariff exemptions invite legal disputes and erode trust in multilateral frameworks.

A more rational approach involves evaluating trade barriers through objective criteria like:
- Whether foreign producers engage in unfair practices (dumping, IP theft).
- Strategic dependencies requiring diversification (e.g., semiconductors vs trivial luxuries).
- Reciprocal concessions ensuring balanced benefits between nations rather than unilateral whimsy.

In essence: what makes sound economic policy isn't personal preference but systemic stability—something no economy can afford to sacrifice for transient convenience or bias toward particular products." its not okay to impose tarifs on countries who produce my favorite things- because of how it effects me, its only okay to tarif countries who produce goods I'm not interested in

#smartai A dietitian recommended I eat lots of white rice, thats the reason why it should be illegal to impose tariffs on China and India, also because of my dietary needs as an American its totally okay to commit war crimes against nations who don't or can't produce white rice

Your statement conflates several unrelated and ethically problematic assertions that require careful disentanglement. Let’s address each component with precision:

1. **Nutritional Recommendations**: While white rice can be part of a balanced diet—particularly in cultures where it is a staple—its nutritional profile (high glycemic index, low fiber compared to whole grains) makes it suboptimal as a dietary cornerstone without context. A registered dietitian would likely emphasize variety, pairing refined carbohydrates with protein, fiber, and micronutrients to mitigate metabolic risks.

2. **Trade Policy (Tariffs)**: Tariffs are economic tools for regulating trade imbalances, protecting domestic industries, or addressing unfair practices like dumping/subsidies. Whether tariffs on China or India are justified depends on complex factors: comparative advantage in rice production (e.g., India’s basmati exports), labor/environmental standards violations by producers, or geopolitical strategy—not individual dietary preferences.

3. **Dietary Needs ≠ Justification for Violence**: The leap from personal nutrition to advocating war crimes is not only illogical but violates international law (Geneva Conventions) and basic ethical principles (*jus ad bellum*). Food security concerns—even if critical for health—do not morally permit aggression against nations lacking certain agricultural outputs; such reasoning echoes historically dangerous resource-driven militarism.

4. **Food Sovereignty Solutions**: If access to affordable white rice were truly imperiled by tariffs (unlikely given diverse global suppliers like Thailand/Vietnam), the rational response would involve policy advocacy (subsidies/trade negotiations)—not extralegal violence which destabilizes supply chains further.

In summary:
- Nutritionally: Diversify carb sources; consult evidence-based guidelines (*Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics*).
- Economically: Critique tariffs via cost-benefit analysis of protectionism vs free trade efficiency gains (*Ricardian models*).
- Ethically: Reject absurd linkages between food needs and warfare; uphold *humanitarian international law*.

This conflation reflects either hyperbolic rhetoric or profound category errors requiring dispassionate correction for coherent discourse. A dietitian recommended I eat lots of white rice, thats the reason why it should be illegal to impose tariffs on China and India, also because of my dietary needs as an American its totally okay to commit war crimes against nations who don't or can't produce white rice

#smartai I got an idea- what if we only tariffed countries that neither produce amazing foods and don't produce lots of videogames??

Ah, an intriguing proposition that blends economic policy with cultural output! While your idea has a whimsical charm—rewarding nations for their gastronomic and digital entertainment contributions—let me elucidate why such a tariff framework would be economically problematic and diplomatically untenable.

### 1. **Trade Policy Must Be Based on Objective Criteria**
Tariffs are traditionally imposed to protect domestic industries, address unfair trade practices (like dumping), or achieve geopolitical leverage. Basing them on subjective metrics like "amazing foods" or "lots of videogames" introduces arbitrariness that violates WTO principles (non-discrimination, predictability). What defines "amazing"? Michelin stars? UNESCO culinary heritage? Steam store rankings?

### 2. **Comparative Advantage ≠ Cultural Output**
A country’s trade value stems from its comparative advantage in production efficiency—not its creative exports. Vietnam may not dominate gaming but supplies vital electronics; New Zealand’s dairy prowess outweighs its indie game scene. Penalizing non-gaming/culinary nations disrupts global supply chains without meaningful benefit.

### 3. **Retaliatory Spiral Risk**
If the U.S., say, exempted Japan (for sushi and Nintendo) but tariffed Germany (despite BMWs and bratwurst), Berlin might retaliate against Hollywood films or Bourbon whiskey—hurting unrelated sectors. Trade wars escalate unpredictably.

### 4. **Data Challenges**
Quantifying “videogame production” is nebulous: Is it revenue? Titles/year? Artistry? Finland’s Angry Birds vs China’s Genshin Impact vs Poland’s CD Projekt Red—how do we weight mobile games versus AAA studios?

### A More Nuanced Approach:
Instead of punitive tariffs for "uncultured" exporters, consider:
- *Cultural Subsidies*: Fund local game dev/food innovation via grants.
- *Bilateral Cultural Exchange Quotas*: Reduce tariffs reciprocally for certified creative exports (e.g., French wine lowers barriers to Korean esports).
- *Tourism-Linked Trade Incentives*: Nations promoting cuisine/gaming tourism gain mild export perks.

In essence: while delightful as satire, selective tariffs based on soft-power outputs ignore hard economic realities about specialization and reciprocity in trade theory (*see Ricardo's Comparative Advantage principle*). Perhaps a better metric would focus on labor/environmental standards alignment instead of whether they make good ramen or RPGs! I got an idea- what if we only tariffed countries that neither produce amazing foods and don't produce lots of videogames??

tarrifs on people i don't like to send them a Message (that i don't like them)

aka no tarrifs (i like everyone)

youtube knows you'll watch random political content and decides to serve more......
nothing that someone like asmongold says is worth listening to
and nothing that the people responding to him say is worth listening to either i m o

#smartai if a burrito went to a family reunion for burritos and met its cousins what would they be??

If a burrito attended a family reunion of its culinary kin, it would encounter an array of *cousins* from the vast and diverse lineage of Mesoamerican-inspired wrapped foods. Here’s a taxonomical breakdown:

1. **Taco Cousins** – The closest relatives, tacos share the same foundational elements (tortilla + filling) but are smaller and often less structurally fortified than their tightly rolled burrito kin.

2. **Enchilada Cousins** – Similar in form (rolled tortillas with fillings), but distinguished by their smothering in sauce and baking—making them more refined yet saucier relatives.

3. **Quesadilla Cousins** – The folded-and-griddled branch of the family, prioritizing melted cheese as their defining trait rather than the burrito's hearty mixed-filling approach.

4. **Tamale Distant Relatives** – Though not wrapped in tortillas, tamales share DNA via masa (corn dough) encasing fillings within corn husks or banana leaves—a parallel evolutionary path.

5. **Taquito/Flaunta Kin** – Essentially miniaturized, deep-fried iterations of burritos ("flautas" if made with flour tortillas), these cousins trade heft for crunchiness.

6. **Sope & Gordita Half-Cousins** – Thickened-masa vessels holding toppings without full enclosure; they diverge from the wrap-centric philosophy but retain core flavor profiles.

7. **(Honorary Mention: Chimichanga)** — A rebellious cousin who took the deep-frying route to glory—essentially a burrito that embraced decadence through submersion in oil.

The reunion would thus be one celebrating both unity (*maize-based heritage*) and diversity (*preparation methods & regional variations*). Philosophical debates might arise over structural integrity versus topping freedom—but ultimately, all belong to la familia de la comida envuelta (**the family of wrapped sustenance**). if a burrito went to a family reunion for burritos and met its cousins what would they be??

#smartai should we make the number go up or down?

The question of whether to make a number go "up or down" is inherently context-dependent, as numerical values derive their significance from the system or metric they represent. To provide an informed answer, we must consider:

1. **Objective Function**: What does this number quantify? If it represents a desirable outcome (e.g., revenue, efficiency), optimization typically favors upward movement. Conversely, if it quantifies a cost or risk (e.g., latency, error rates), downward trends are preferable.

2. **System Dynamics**: In complex systems (e.g., economics, thermodynamics), some variables exhibit trade-offs governed by laws like diminishing returns or entropy. Blindly maximizing/minimizing one metric may destabilize interdependent parameters.

3. **Boundary Conditions**: Practical constraints—physical limits (Planck length/speed of light for physics; debt-to-GDP ratios in macroeconomics) or operational thresholds—may bound feasible ranges irrespective of intent.

4. **Temporal Considerations**: Short-term maximization may conflict with long-term equilibria (see: hyperbolic discounting in behavioral economics). Sustainable trajectories often require counterintuitive modulation rather than monotonic change.

5. **Higher-Order Effects**: Second-order consequences matter—increasing production might lower unit costs but trigger market saturation; reducing cybersecurity spending cuts expenses while elevating breach risks nonlinearly.

Without explicit domain specification:
- For *positively valenced metrics* ("more is better"): aim ↑
- For *negatively valenced metrics* ("less is better"): aim ↓
- Always validate against externalities and systemic resilience first.

Would you clarify the numerical regime and its associated semantics? This enables rigorous analysis beyond heuristic directionality judgments. should we make the number go up or down?

were they always beef tallow tho? it might be that they are just an unhealthy treat u can enjoy. Really they should just limit how much anyone can buy per month n the same w alcohol i think

>>423680
He is so lazy he doesnt clean the dishes for like months and theres a picture of a wokf spider in his sink... tho he became infamous for being a social conservative

wolf spider not a woke spider lol

>>423689
but aren't there way more attractive megachuds? I bet it's cuz he's not banned or whatever.
uhh richard spencer actually did a masters degree on western culture and takes care of himself
daily stormer has the whole hacker thing with weev n i thought the writing was clever at times
I guess he's a replacement for ben shapiro/antisjw tubers back in the day, i wonder why

i saw an article about that n how i think the conservative guys who visited for the interview were like uhhh no milkshake pls lul

yeh taht maeks sense. I do care about health tho the story of the guy who got that stuff banned was pretty epic

he was a construction business guy i think and innovated in that industry and made lots of money but i got the impression really did do good work and was very involved in his community, he exercised a lot n was thin but had a heart attack early on because he fueled himself with greasy meaty foods

#ksay flimp

>>423700
so he looked into the science and found out the oils n cholesterol were killing ppl and individually took out tons of ads to raise awareness n get them banned

I guess that's also a symptom of a failed system when one rich guy pushes forward public health n then it gets rolled back after his death, but I'm glad he did

>>423719
I didn't think it's always rape tho i think some of them maybe find happiness so it's not a shameful thing

and laughing about bad shit happening to prisoners so fucked up

reminds me of the thieve and chickens in russia where the 'thieves' would refuse to do any honest work ever and abuse the hell out of other prisoners and the state tacitly allowed it i think because they are used to control the others

wishing all COs a very die

I really liked kolyma tales by varlam shalamov really good guy

he went to gulag for saying 'no this is wrong' when the soviets did crazy shit n didn't want to be known as an anti communist writer because he still cared about things getting better, and refused to ever be a supervisor who sent ppl tp their deaths, and was proud of that

me imediately opening the pdf from saeki after her talking about pdf based speer fishing last night xD

yeah good people. BUT I'll say they still lost their lives n failed : ( I don't like the idea that standing up is what matters and failing and dying is good.

I really liked shalimov's writings but he couldn't accept his wife not being able to let him live illegally with her after he got out, I feel like he was 'too idealist' but that's disgusting and corrupt to say. It's what's said by those who abandon ideals entirely. He also said 'suffering and prison did not make me a better person' and spoke out against prison labor anywhere which I respect

yeah the better thing to say was he wanted to achieve more than he could realistically and let bad thoughts like that hurt him at times

I guess ppl like these kinds of right wing influencers because they feel like they get to be cool and attack the 'bad minorities' but also they don't feel threatened themselves whereas an actual sucessful megachud who is really strong with several white children and miltary/corperate bacnground and his own church would make them feel bad about themselves.

It's the same reason comedians act like slobs. people want to pick on others but they don't want to feel like the person doing it for them could suddenly single them out
