Who knows if there are any comprehensive works on the history of the development of nuclear programmes of the nuclear club states and potential candidates for them? And in general, a literature thread on the topic

26/M. Can someone recommend a book on how one would become an alpha fucking male? I'm too generous and nice. I want to learn how to not give a fuck. And how to talk to women because I have absolutely no game.

You're right for the wrong reason.
Humans are animals.
Also, alpha and beta as zoologist terms was actually found out to be misunderstood

The only informed take on this thread and it's disregarded.

Neckbeardians in a bubble, telling each other how the outside world works.

If you did actually succeed in becoming the archetypal alpha, you'd find yourself getting low-tier plastic-filled junk and shallow gold-diggers.

Cool, calm, easy confidence. Lack of desire to participate in the stupid peacocking, but knowing you could crush them if you so chose.

In a lot of ways the game HAS changed; it's a lot more mask-off. Women have options and aren't forced into settling for the guy from the farm next door.

Some of that translates directly into what you see on dating sites: height requirements, fitness requirements, financial requirements, personality requirements. There's an entire set of problems that women are facing because of these games we play, but if you want to win you have to know and accept what game you're playing. If you can't adapt, your genetics will be filtered out.

Straight-up, some people who may have been fine fifty years ago are no longer fit. Stop griping about it and better yourself, or get filtered.

notetaking reading a newbook 23/11/25(Sat)17:25 No. 18412 [Reply]

I like to shit post so what better way to motivate myself to read a book than reading it to shit post, this is amazing. Time to read.

our first book is going to be 《Arrest-proof yourself : an ex-cop reveals how easy it is for anyone to get arrested, how even a single arrest could ruin your life, what to do if the police get in your face》, recommended by an vet military officer

This is especially useful because how much of a shithole 4chan is. Going to read book and write down some note to share with you all, have any resources please do share.

Even if you aren't feeling threaten but DOJ essentially works just like that, FBI NSA collecting your informations charges can get drop on you in secret court next thing you know radar weapon system shot at you 24/7 sleep deprived tormented skin and body melting tooth gum burn bloated and bleeding from microwave burn, IQ went straight to below60 under infrasound disruption, memory reduced to nothing, can't focus can't keep your job, irritated by shots after shots of radar beams, or even get abused till you're disabie, all because we don't know how it works. We'd be meeting officers on the internet without knowing anything, stuff you wrote could get you in trouble for attitude, anonymous and freedom of speech aren't going to help.

————————————

A law enforcement doctrine called proactive policing has spread across the land. It calls for zero tolerance of petty offenses, including such things as jaywalking, loitering, and drinking a beer on the street. Proactive policing has reduced crime—no question—but to do so it requires huge numbers of arrests of petty offenders who in years past would never have seen the inside of a jail.

The volume of arrests has caused a boom in jail and court construction and the creation of a criminal justice system that employs hundreds of thousands and requires ever more arrests to justify its existence.

The near universal installation of computers in police cruisers, and their ability to access law enforcement databases instantly, allows police to make more arrests for what I call administrative crimes. People have worse manners than in the past. Whether this is due to less effective parenting, a decline in church attendance, increased use of drugs, disorder at public schools, or the pervasive influence of TV shows where everyone is “in your face” is a topic best left to the talk shows. All I know for a fact is that people don’t know how to behave. They act out in front of cops and get busted for being obnoxious.

People use to e far more savage in the "good ol days."

Men used to have gunfights or put their wives in gallows for mere disagreement.

Also, irony is, most delinquents come from environments of excessive spanking.

And I lie how you assume church attendance is equivalent to a moral conscience.
Most civil offenders are churchgoers.

The main thing is he can be hard to understand because italians are very pedantic in their writing. But the only people who call it "schizo" are the exact normies he's talking about.

Read the original Grimm Brothers fairy tale
Snow White was 7 when the mirror first called her the fairest one of all
7 when she met the dwarfs who all fell in love with her
7 when she “died” and was put in the glass coffin so the dwarfs could look at her all the time
7 when the prince saw her in the glass coffin and fell in love with her and married her

I heard about this book "Morning Glory Milking Farm" and i am curious now. But since I have never read any books, I do not even know where do you get these.

In fact, even the legal ways seem a bit tricky as the only legit looking ebook site seems to be amazon and they want me to sign up for some kindle sht. I just want to read it on my desktop personal computer.

Pls hlp

Oh my god I feel just how I used to feel
Watching Danny Phantom eating Happy Meals
Every night at 7 watch my favorite shows
Never really worried 'bout the to and fro's or the way life goes
It's like a time machine just brought me there
Wiped away my thoughts and cares
And re-embraced the daylight there
Or maybe, just maybe
I think I'm starting to like myself
I think I'm right where I need to be
To be the best version of myself
To be the version that I want you to see
Oh oh oh, I feel like I found the secret

Just a heads up... If Laura asks whether Ramsey ever showed you how to upload the Savage Vignettes, either tell her: "No, he was too busy talking about a he/she encounter." Or: "Yes. Have I been putting them in the wrong place?" (Ramsey has a bad habit of putting them in the wrong category and at the wrong cart numbers.) She saw me downloading some Vignettes yesterday and said: "I thought Michelle was doing those, didn't Ramsey show her how?" And I said: "No, I don't think he did." So she may ask you about it. (If you want, you can make them 'Michelle Vignettes' -- I think people would rather hear what you have to say than that wind-bag anyway.)

Since 8Kun is dead I will post what I posted there
No, it is actually a good book. I think the distance of time from when it was written has blunted it's impact and modern readers ignorance of the era of it was written.

>>It is a huge slap in the face to 1950's manufactured idealism.

There are a huge number of things the HH and Dot do that would bring horror to the Normies everything from the Car trip and motel stays to Dot consuming endless amounts of magazines were the corporate manufactured "Ideals" Family Car trips ( pushed by GM ) to motels to local sights etc. Liberal Magazine Publishers like Atlantic Monthly Sophisticated , intelligent and well informed by reading all the magazines, mean while airheaded Dot does the same and she is an Airhead. An she has to read Dunken Hinds column ( Gorden Ramses of the day ) to know where to eat !!

It would be like in 2008 while everyone gushed over Facebook and the New Iphone you wrote a book where a Pedo loves Facebook to keep tabs of his Nieces "growth" and Reddit because they were smart , the Iphone for its camera and long battery for hiding in the girls locker room people would lose their spaghetti reading that .

>>It is a Romantic novel in the way of "Idealism" rather than love.

>>HH is a truly unreliable narrator.

Unreliable, firstly his retelling to make himself seem smarter and better than everyone one else , kind of like a M'lady fedora wearer thinking he is sauve and, saying how "everyone clapped" at the end of his story . And also his ( HH ) speeches about Nymphets and Loltia reminded me of Alcoholics justifying their drinking " No no dear reader I am sophisticated drinker , a Writer , I am a wine connoisseur." Justifying why they're in the bag at 11 in the morning .
