Because Whignats are #canceled in 2019
(kidding kidding)
"In this video, Dave Rubin and I focus on four issues:
(1) our departure from Patreon (as of Jan 15, 2019);
**(2) plans to create an alternative creator-funding platform, with multiple payment options, and with protection for free speech foremost and center as a guiding principle;**
(3) the exceptional danger posed by the increasing willingness of payment processors such as MasterCard, Visa and PayPal to monitor, judge and regulate the spending habits of their customers;
(4) the pressure being applied to such companies by organizations designed precisely for that purpose (such as “Change the Terms (https://www.changetheterms.org/), aimed at the elimination of what they regard as “hate speech” online and everywhere else). "
2019 could be the year free speech fights back.
I wish them the best, but the pessimist in me doubts that we'll see a fix that doesn't involve legislation.
Indeed, but this could keep the 1st Amendment in the conversation long enough for the right people to hear.
win win
@Hakujin - CA France my dude
I plan to take her to see Paris
New Murdoch Murdoch!
hows everyone doing tonight ?
Re: Patrick's new year's suggestions ... I am getting married in a few months 😃 the closer the date gets, the more I realize I'm kind of intimidated about whether I can do a good job at it... Wondered if any married people have advice.
After seeing the tweets about NYE TV shows last night and the disgusting stuff they did, I'm really glad I no longer watch any television nor allow my kids to do so. Absolutely gross conversations and totally inappropriate.
@apronandlace It's like a title, if you already treat him right, and he treats you right before getting married, then you guys should be fine*
I'm a girl
thanks for the reassurance!
good recovery @The Eternal Anglo 😂
@apronandlace Marriage is a life long learning experience. Look at the relationship as iron sharpens iron. Make one another better and challenge each other to greatness. You’ll be fine 😃
@ThisIsChris thanks!
@apronandlace My mistake, congratulations by the way!
I personally recommend premarital counseling regardless, as it always is good to already know helpful preventives and things to do before they happen. How to deal with certain situations, etc.
Over all though it is fantastic, and you two should be grand @apronandlace 💪 👍
Yes for Catholics at least it's required to do a premarital prep course before they'll marry you
Is there a financial planning/tax advice section in the skills server? I’m working on my wife and I’s budget for 2019 and work as a CPA, would be happy to offer some tax planning help, can probably save some folks some money in taxes
The one I took was surprisingly long, once a week for about 4 months plus a fieldtrip
@Rick Flair yes there is
tax planning would be awesome
check #noncrypto-finance
4-6 mos is typical
@Rick Flair do you take clients from out of state?
I don’t make a living in financial planning, I work in oil and gas, but I do have a bit of knowledge based on my background and my own planning, would be happy to give out some basic things I do for minimizing taxes and cashflow management
@Papa Pizzagate I'm glad to hear that. Yeah 4 months is what I remember from a few years ago, could be longer. Basically like a college semester.
Thanks Chris, I don’t see that server on my list, do I need to reach out to anyone specifically?
@Rick Flair me, I'll DM you
Done.
If any IE-ers are reading this later and are looking for an invite just DM me whenever. Unless I'm sleeping I usually respond within a few minutes.
<#401064276967817216> has a big list of all our servers for anyone who wants to cross reference what they have
thought this was a nice quote from a review of Jim Goad's Whiteness: The Original Sin: "As I've said many times but will keep saying until it seeps into everyone’s impossibly thick skulls, the most powerful political weapon is guilt. It can disable entire populations without a single shot being fired. Apparently those who are constantly injecting the collective white unconscious with guilt serum are deathly afraid of what white people could accomplish if they were to toss their “invisible knapsacks” of imaginary guilt into the nearest river." https://www.takimag.com/article/whiteness_the_original_sin_jim_goad/2/
