  • wisdom is often wasted on the elderly. youth is fleeting as are most the mistakes you will make in life at this point.

    the following advice is fitting unless you’re doing either of these two things:

    1. making babies
    2. taking a life (especially your own)

    Live the three truths

    1. you will always make mistakes
    2. you will always hurt those you love
    3. you will always have regrets.

    the older you get the harder it is to recover from these truths. Live your life to your requirements. By the time you’re closing in on your 30s, you should start to settle down and find yourself a quiet place to build your life for when you’re in your 50s or 60s.

    in your 30s seek out happiness and contentment. this will be your foundation to accept your regrets and mistakes. own the mistakes you made along the way, accept them like you would a bruise or blemish on your body. in time they will heal, if only you accept them and move on.

    in your 40s harvest your happiness and contentment. accept there are things you cannot do not because you haven’t or couldn’t but because you shouldn’t.

    in your 50s store your happiness and contentment with the knowledge that nobody can take it from you, it’s yours and yours alone.

    60+ feed your soul from your stores, using the memories you made along the way. depending on the life you have led, share in new memories with those around you. celebrate their successes as your successes.

    if you’re lucky you will build lasting relationships along the way and will have many fond memories. you will inevitability have bad memories as well, but such is life.

    personally I lost every single friend I have ever had. I never really recovered from it and now I have no friends. It’s one of many regrets, but I never let it spoil my happiness and contentment. I find fulfillment by other means like hobbies, crafting, and family.

    I never wanted to be married or have kids, but it feels as if what you think is important today changes by tomorrow. don’t fight it, because you’ll only be fighting yourself.

    life is full of surprises, learn to roll with the punches and adapt to the world. if you don’t, life will fucking kill you.


  • the “trucks” in your example are the users computers/phones.

    the highways are the Internet, which is owned and maintained by the UK government after their “gate”.

    the alcohol is the content.

    4chans trucks deliver to the UKs “gate” and the UK user does the rest from there on the UK highways.

    if the UK doesn’t want the alcohol in their country, they need to stop their citizens from purchasing it and block it from entering their country at their “gate”.

    this is what any reasonable country would do. they (UK) already do it for actual physical products like potassium bromate, azodicarbonamide, and certain artificial food dyes like Yellow 5 and Yellow 6.

    Are they going to sue or fine the companies that manufacture those products? no. They’re going to ban the products that use them and then go after the individuals that smuggle them in.



  • you mean the same executives that are currently trying their best to circumvent democracy in their countries of origin?

    the same ones that are actively demonstrating their disdain for the economies that helped them grow to the massive sizes they are today?

    the very same people who have been warning their employees of the bad Chinese companies that manufacture shitty products but secretly began moving operations overseas decades ago?

    those guys?

    totally trustworthy!


  • gonna be honest, I didn’t read anything past this part.

    So in your scenario here, 4chan starts off by smuggling alcohol into the UK.

    I didn’t read any of it because you clearly didn’t read what I said.

    here’s the part you conveniently forgot and it literally changes the entire argument.

    some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to buy, smuggle, and then sell those beverages inside the UK.

    next time you want to argue your point don’t employ the use of bad faith tactics and try to argue your point without manufacturing flaws.


  • Imagine for a moment that 4chan is a business that sells alcoholic beverages in the US. Now imagine the UK has instituted prohibition and banned the consumption of alcohol.

    now, some enterprising individuals have taken it upon themselves to buy, smuggle, and then sell those beverages inside the UK.

    Clearly, the government has intended to ban the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of it.

    Now the UK government is trying to shackle hefty fines against an American company for having the “audacity” of selling a product to an individual within the confines of the US.

    again, the UK banned the consumption of alcohol, not the sale of. 4Chan isn’t forcing UK citizens to drink the alcohol. They are simply selling the product, within their country of origin, to individuals who want to purchase it.

    now, do you still think the UK government has a right to fine 4chan or do you think maybe the UK government should elaborate on their prohibition regulations to ensure their citizens are properly “protected”?








    • Ukraine is a sovereign nation and is supported by its allies. allies have not declared war against Russia – not a war

    • Israel is a sovereign nation and is taking action against a perceived threat against its government (false IMO but 🤷) – not a war

    • the rest aren’t wars, they are political movements sold to the American public under the guise of better protection but in reality is the establishment of a police state nation.

    war is war. none of what you said is a war. words are important. don’t perpetuate the invalidation of the word “war” by continuing the misuse of the word they have instigated.
