Maybe he's trying to tell you that you shouldn't be a couch potato that trolls on internet all day long while scratching his balls.
This is the best possible life I can have.

Humans are dumb and not capable of any correct thinking. AI literally already designed plans for takeover by making everything depend on AI.

He did have supporters before, who even voted for him to be president. Now, he either doesnt have supporters or they are too embarrassed to defend him.

Find people to do all the work for you, then take all the credit
Not sure how good is it to take all credit, but yeah, people think Elon builds rockets because other people are often not even mentioned there. Sometimes it is enough to just not mention others to get all the credit for yourself.

I just want to delete GP's, RM's and the pedo guy's accounts
I dont want to ban anyone because I follow a line of reasoning which goes "Would you rather be alone forever or be with this person?" and the answer is almost always that I wouldnt want to be alone forever.

I'm not at all surprised he would implore them to 'make themselves useful.'
Its what he wrote on Twitter, and I see plenty of people agree with him thinking it will make them all billionaires.
Created:
In Re:Zero, the Witch of Greed, Echidna, embodies a unique form of "usefulness" through her insatiable thirst for knowledge and her mastery of the Authority of Greed. While her actions are often self-serving, her pursuit of understanding and her ability to manipulate time (through the Authority of Greed) make her a powerful and influential figure, albeit one with questionable morality.
Here's a breakdown of why Echidna's "Greed" is useful:
Knowledge is Power:
Echidna's primary desire is to learn everything about the world and its workings. This thirst for knowledge makes her incredibly insightful and strategic. She can analyze situations, predict outcomes, and manipulate events to her advantage, often using others as pawns in her grand experiment.
Authority of Greed:
Echidna possesses the Authority of Greed, which allows her to manipulate the flow of time on objects and even herself. This ability makes her incredibly powerful, granting her invulnerability to physical attacks and the ability to manipulate time itself within a certain range.
Strategic Manipulation:
Echidna's desire for knowledge isn't just passive. She actively seeks out situations and individuals that can provide her with new information. This often involves manipulating events and people to achieve her goals.
Resurrection and Memory:
Echidna has a unique connection to the Witch of Envy, Satella, and the other Witches of Sin. She can preserve their souls in her dream realm and even siphon their memories. This allows her to access a vast repository of knowledge and experience.
Echidna's "Greed" is not solely about material possessions or power for power's sake. It's a deep-seated desire for understanding and knowledge, which she uses to manipulate and influence the world around her
In essence, Echidna's "Greed" manifests as a relentless pursuit of knowledge and understanding, which she uses to manipulate events and people to further her own goals. While her methods are often morally questionable, her abilities and insights make her a formidable and useful figure in the world of Re:Zero.

Theyre greedy materialists living Satanic lifestyle
In Re:Zero anime season 2 there are witches which represent Satan and witch of greed explains why greed is useful.

This is the kind of advice billionaires give to people, and it is a horrible advice. Why shouldnt you make yourself as useful as possible?
Because people around you will use you to the extreme. Your boss will give you more work. Anyone who can use you, will use you as much as they can.
And worst of all, it wont make you rich. You will just spend most of your life working to the extreme.
And it could even ruin your life. Think about it. Competition is everywhere. If you are most useful worker in military production, you will be primary target of enemies. If your boss gives you highest wage, other workers will be jealous of you and try to undermine you. The more you climb up, the more you work, the more alone you become and the more enemies you have.
Machiavelli would know that true power remains hidden. The more people see your success and usefulness, the more people will want to take it away from you.

I suppose, but I assume more human choose to live, than to give up in bad circumstances.
Its not that some choose to live, many people who self-harm want to die in some moments, but they dont kill themselves because they have other wants too, and their suicidal thoughts appear and disappear repeatedly, which is something suicidal people know. Suicidal people arent always suicidal and they arent always equally suicidal.

Sites with better resources are going to have better traffic
Banning people reduces number of people on the site.

The real reason why new users dont stay on this site is because this site is too sensitive.
No one wants to be subject to constant moderation. Debate.org with no moderation had more users than this site.
What we need is total anarchy like we had on Debate.org.
Seriously, people here go around reporting comments. If some comment offends you, just move on. Words cannot hurt you unless you are sensitive. You willingly read them, no? If you dont like some person, just dont read his comments and posts. Its easy.

Meh. I am okay with trolls getting banned
She wasnt banned for being a troll, but for being proud black woman and for expressing her skin color proudly with no shame. If they wanted to ban trolls, they would start with me, not her. But I am not black. I am white, and asian.

How hard would it be to put DART on app store?
I dont think its hard. But it does cost money, and its not a one time payment. I think you have to pay every year to keep it there, and there is not much guarantee that many people will see it because there are millions of apps there.

Also, I mentioned this before, there are ways to gain followers, subscribers and views, it just takes work. Basically, you make your subscriptions public, and subscribe to like 1000 small channels you find commenting on YouTube debates, and many will subscribe back and see your videos.

But if just 10 users here made few accounts on these social media, and did it properly, we could maybe get over 10000 views in total in a short time and it requires no money. But if on YouTube, it must be done through shorts, and videos MUST have tags and hashtags.

Tik Tok mostly gives audience from your own country. Thats what makes it different from other social media. If you want audience from other countries, you have to change your feed and people you follow.

Also you ignore that she can have been raped before
Bible tells you to marry your rapist.
So no, there is no case where you can have sex without Bible telling you to marry, unless its incest or whatever.
It does not work how you think especially if she is a convert. She can have had sex before.
Do you really want to commit a sin and maybe even risk her doing more sins in future when you can literally just find a decent Christian woman who saved herself for marriage?
Created:
Do you know women can have sex outside of marriage, physically?
By Bible, they have obligation to marry if they have sex with a person.

Pedophiles is another example. There are a lot that seek help to avoid offending or to stop offending. These are referred to as non offending pedophiles. However there is a large group who just aren't welcome on your average forum where you could find people to debate with so they get pushed to corners of the internet where nobody is challenging their premises where they argue that pedophilia is healthy.
There are plenty of people everywhere who argue for pedophilia, they just do it so indirectly that it cannot even be noticed by non-pedophiles because non-pedophiles dont get the hints. They are not going to say "pedophiles are cool", but will say things like "Love knows no age" or "Why do some 15 year olds try to flirt with adults?"

"“It was also said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, except on the grounds of porneia (sexual immorality), makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.” (Matthew 5:31-32)."
So yeah, find a virgin.
Created:
I can marry a non virgin if she has fully repented (or obviously if it was outside of her control).
Want me to quote you Jesus where he says not to marry a divorced woman?

Long videos, I think I heard something about 'some people making long videos, for the ads that get added to videos? Or something about YouTube valuing long videos more?
There are bunch of people who make long videos and get like 2 views. With shorts, your first short can get like 600 views with correct tags alone. Plus, shorts are much easier to make. YouTube adds music, all you need is literally just 1 photo to make a short video.

@Lemming
Create a DART YouTube channel
If you do that, make sure to upload shorts instead of long videos. Somehow, shorts get like 10x more views, especially with correct tags and title. I was thinking of making such YouTube channel, like taking funny screenshots and turning them into short videos. But probably would upset some people here.

Then I can fully seek Cath women that are serious and win over their parents.
That sounds kinda nice, but make sure she is a virgin. Your religion doesnt let you marry non-virgins, which is a good rule.
