LinkedIn: just got promoted
Instagram: just went to the gym
X: if you don’t make $20 million before you turn 25 then you’re gay and your entire family will die

Don’t fall for the fake Fox/GOP outrage. Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion.

- Debit card, not credit card (high risk for daily use)
- Linking your money with your social media (kind of stupid)
- 3% and 6% is subsidized (house of cards)
This isn't a serious product.
It's essentially high risk, mostly useless, and the benefits certainly temporary.

Ayn Rand actually sucks. She cucked her husband and threw a huge fit when her affair became public. She ran her movement like a cult. She was constantly bitter, cold, and generally unlikeable in interviews.
All of her work revolved around a "life well lived" but had an extremely messy lifestyle, which imbued itself in her demeaner.
She preaches total independence but her family made the sacrifices to help her leave Soviet Russia. They provided her housing and career support and her husband's family (the one she cheated on) helped her get an abortion.
She died isolated, which honestly is in line with her philosophical conclusion.
You will be much happier acting in service of others, fostering community, rebuilding the collective. Objectivism is categorically boomer-minded and counterproductive to the world a lot of us want to live in.
But she does make some good points.
Ayn Rand in a nutshell:
> reality doesn't care about your feelings
> there is no fate, no destiny, no plan, just cause and effect
> it is what it is and it's up to you to deal with it
> reason over emotion
> feelings lead you astray
> "trusting the process" is a cop-out for people that don't want to think
> living for other people's approval is cowardice not virtue
> real moral virtue is being honest, hardworking, and independent
> every relationship should be a deal both sides actually want
Not the biggest fan of Objectivism as it disregards the Divine, but it's sobering to entertain on occasion.
You can simultaneously believe there is a divine plan/everything happens for a reason and that your success in life ultimately is up to you. Worth chewing on if looking to agency max (The Fountainhead is a fun fiction).

Luego queremos hombres deconstruidos, que expresen sin tapujos el cariño y la sensibilidad. Pero el propio colectivo lo señala ya como una orientación sexual… Igual dos tíos pueden ser amigos y darse abrazos y besos y ahí está la libertad.
