You are helping a highly potential terrorist get away with it. This is his manifesto. You must understand he can even convince someone else to do it with this.

You can be a heavy bodybuilder and not necessarily good at pushups. There are many ways to be fit.

To do pushups you have to be capable of essentially bench pressing 75% of your bodyweight over and over. The 25% being the part your toes/feet prop up. I've seen what most men who say they can do pushups do and they're too proud to admit they can't do a real one so they curl their spine and do partial pushups in a rushed way that lets momentum compensate for lack of muscle power.

Pushups are hard. Don't be fooled to think the average man can do it at all. What they do are sloiuched, rushed partials.

Combined with his later thread making it clear this is propaganda to genuinely talk someone into a mass murder of juveniles, this is now actionable by law. You must contact the police, it's not a joke. If you don't, you are aiding and abetting it. This is the responsibility of a mod. You must tell Mike ASAP. He has to report to law enforcement. It's set in stone.

It's actually men that drive other guys to be simps.

They shame virgins worse than pathetic simps, much worse. It's not sensible, fair or anything that they do this but it's something women do far less to each other and is why women are less commonly simps for men (though they can be and are, often when lacking financial and emotional safety nets elsewhere).

People wrongly fuse right wing economics with conservative social values. I am unsure why. I know socially conservative leftwing thinkers and everyone knows of right wing Libertarians.

Sharia is both Conservatives and very Capitalist.

Good people on both sides.
The main problem is that Sharia Law is extremely Right Wing but Ntanyahu's wing of Israel is also extremely right wing knucklehead conservative.

So, for the left wing, both societies are quite disgusting to actually side with. Nobody on the left is admitting it because they wrongly hold the idea that all cultures are equally good and valuable to the world.

What is clear is they loathe both sides, I do as well at this point  and I notice the repressed 'cannot admit it' opinion my fellow leftwing thinkers hold. They just want neither side to get what it wants and did the whole time. They want(ed) Hamas to lose but to remain as a functioning terrorist organisation that may eventually free Palestine. They also want(ed) Israel to remain in peace but to not genocide 10s of millions of Gazans and make months of sheer terror and hell, making them worse terrorists.

Thus, there is a clear aim of the Left; achieve a surefire long term peaceful defeat for both sides ASAP. This has and always will be how to understand the Left's contradictory approach. Even I am supporting the approach now.

The House series is definitely more popular in US than in UK and it's not just availability.

The privatised concept of healthcare in US doesn't make much sense for the UK soap opera hospital drama scene (which has at least 2 significant huuuuge series that aren't well known outside UK but are known of, not known but known of, in Europe depending how near to the UK the country is.

Before I say what I am about to say, there is a concept wrongly stated in Google that Soaps Vs Dramas are differed based on sombre time Vs light-hearted tone. This is bullshit. EastEnders is the most popular UK soap and your first Google search will tell you how many tragedies it intentionally covers.

Holby City and Casualty are (were in Holby City's case) Soap Operas big in the UK that inspired the likes of House, with far more drama to them and far less centering around just any one or two characters. This chaotic soap opera style seems to work much better with UK and Europe in general. You will often notice that series for Brits and Europeans alike lack fundamental main characters or if they have them the supporting characters are nearly as significant with nearly as much screen time. This is simply a concept that doesn't work as well for movies and the US is or was a more movie-centric showbusiness place whereas for UK and Europe Theatre evolved more into Series than Movies, with epics like Doctor Who seemingly always able able to dish out a new Season for decades no matter what, if the demand picks up again.

@Best.Korea
The awareness of autism increased. It's diagnosed much more for cases that were just thought of as difficult weirdos before. The prevalence of it hasn't increased whatsoever. Id argue the total opposite. Travelling was rarer as was experiencing changes in routine. People had rigid routines, hometown accents, rituals etc before. That's autistic.

The structure of older societies was literally more autistic.

Fuck face is what your wife's name would be if you could keep it up and reach the back of her eager greedy throat. No need to project it onto me.

I am not a RINO because I am not. Republican even in name, I am left wing on balance and don't think it's the government's fucking business what I spend even one cent on let alone 3 trillion dollars. However, I am also a realist. Being angry about their nosy and corrupt ways to invade our privacy to stop other corrupt people is just part and parcel of humanity, which is more corrupt than it is justice or privacy focused.

People should be aware the person who made this thread is autistic himself, hates himself and will never have children himself according to his approach to life.

So... Thanks for the advice you neither have lived nor will live by.

Also, the only reason his profile says 'female' gender is to both ridicule transgenders and women at once as according to him this faked transition will get more women to the website:

So, I am not certain whether this eugenics bullcrap from him is real or just trolling but I hope you appreciate how to take this thread, it doesn't represent what the site thinks.

@Best.Korea
Yes, but autism is a disability and it would be better if they were born without autism, so born earlier.
not really, it's more than that. It's a configuration to value innate intelligence and imagination over external approval and influence. That's the most fundamental feature of the autistic mindset that separates it from the typical human's mindset which is inverted in both past age 11 or so (and this is also why psychiatrists wait until adolescence to properly/formerly diagnose it, until then they say 'on the spectrum' or 'traits of').

Many children seem autistic actually, in their own world playing with toys where they dictate the storyline and having a rich inner world and being weird and very sensitive to many things unique to them as well as very picky eaters etc. It's that those that aren't autistic value conforming over holding onto the rich inner world and autistic people are the total opposite if they're severe.

Dr. Huemer AMA Responses
In fact, just to make it clear for anyone who thought I was remotely wrong in the thread before let's explore what he's really saying vs his bullshit way of wording it.

HOA = Homeowner Association AKA neighborhood  with rules (think gated especially but not just gated).

I am unsure what you mean by "the difference". Is the question about important differences between HOA's and governments?

HOA's are a real phenomenon, which has actually arisen voluntarily. Nation-sized HOA's, however, have not voluntarily arisen, nor is there any plausible way that that would happen. So that is one difference between HOA's and national governments.
This is a lie. What he means and I appreciate him admitting is that even the local council-level bylaws the HOAs enforce is antithetical to anarchical definition of 'voluntary'. To have any rules forced onto people isn't anarchy (until it is which I'll get to later).

Another interesting difference is that real HOA's face meaningful competition. If a person does not like the rules of one HOA, it is very easy to avoid that HOA and live in another neighborhood or housing complex. This does not require leaving behind one's family, friends, job, and culture; learning a new language; or getting the permission of some other nation-state. This makes competition among HOAs much more meaningful than competition among national governments.
A freedom only the wealthy enough have. It also implies his idea of staying in touch with family is long-distance by definition but that is fine as many define it that way (though it's a sign of a sociopathic way of seeing things, I don't disagree with it as it's so mainstream in humanity to have distant relations now with Internet etc).

I am not sure, but I think the question may have been suggesting that the people in one generation can create rules that restrict the use of their land for all future generations. I think this is not legitimate. I think any future generation would be free to alter the rules of the HOA or even to abolish the HOA, and earlier generations cannot do anything to prevent this.
Which is why it's going to just be whatever the strongest or those paying the strongest make the rules to become with each generation.

2. What should (not does but should) stop individuals from committing crimes?

Every individual should voluntarily respect the rights of others due to their understanding of morality. However, if (as is the case in all known societies) some individuals refuse to respect the rights of others, then someone else (such as private protection agencies) should deploy force to stop the rights-violators. 
Translation: those that can afford it get protection against any and all abuse (in fact against anything they deem abuse making it malicious to enforce not only to not enforce). They hire thugs to do their bidding, the thugs do it as hired as private enforcers (or worse, mercenaries) and do what they're told if they want money to keep rolling in.


3. If someone got sick from a meal or beverage, as it had different ingredients from what was displayed in the packaging, how (other than virtue signaling and boycotting) could they achieve retribution and deter companies from continuing this practice?

The individual could bring a lawsuit against the manufacturer. The plaintiff and the defendant would go to one of the private arbitration firms to have their dispute resolved. The private justice system is described at greater length in chapter 11 of The Problem of Political Authorityhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/1137281650/.
See above for translation.
However, in real capitalist societies, lawsuits over product disputes are very rare, because companies almost always resolve customer complaints satisfactorily without a lawsuit (also because lawsuits in the current system are extremely expensive). I have virtually never had a company refuse to fix a problem. Indeed, empirically, companies bend over backwards to accommodate even unreasonable customer demands.
'real capitalist societies' aren't anarchic. Thus, the fear of being ripped to shreds by a valid lawsuit that overtime has proven to hold water even if the plaintiffs are poor, thanks to left-wing movements bit by bit chipping away at the ability of 'hush money' to totally shut down such cases and exposure of blackmail illuminati type killings to silence the frontrunners etc, it's become difficult in these 'real capitalist societies' to abuse the Capitalism to the extent ancap would allow. Thus it's a fruitless endeavour to compare any 'norms' in that sense to what would happen under anarchocapitalism.

This particular scenario is also particularly improbable. Companies do not generally poison their customers. No business plan starts with, "Step 1: Feed our customers stuff that makes them vomit..."
That's because they fear the enforcement of non-anarchic rule of law.

I have never had a dispute with another community. I have lived in several different neighborhoods in my life. None of them has ever had a dispute with another neighborhood. I am not sure what sort of dispute this question is imagining. However, if your HOA somehow has a dispute with another HOA, they would resolve that by going to arbitration, just as in the case of any other dispute. They would not raise an army and declare a war. If my HOA board somehow gets filled with crazy people and declares that we're going to attack the condominium building across the street, I am not joining that war. And neither, I believe, will any of my neighbors.
That's not surprising to me. This guy doesn't know the first thing about gangster rivalries that run actual anarchocapitalistic ways of life yet he preaches their way of life as some abstract PhD bullshit type thing.

Human beings own their own brains, and they have their own lives to live. They are not resources at the disposal of other people. You can't force someone to live somewhere they don't want to be just so that the people there can extract value from them. That's a form of slavery.
You can force it more than ever in a society where beating the shit out of people too poor to hire cops and 'law' (there's no law) protection can't fight back. Try again.

It's also extremely harmful to the world. If Sergei Brin had been forced to spend his life in Russia, Google would not exist. He would not have somehow overthrown Putin and converted Russia into a liberal, capitalist democracy; his life would just have been wasted. Of course, Brin is an outlier in terms of talent. But the qualitative point applies widely: the overwhelming majority of people can realize their potential vastly better in a society such as the U.S. than they can in a Third World nation. In some cases, the amount of value one can produce may be thousands of times greater.
I can turn this so badly onto him. If nobody was forced under conditions they didn't want to be in then in contrast to this propaganda, you'd find actually far less rebellions or fights for freedom succeed as those most seeking of it just run away. However, I think what he's missing is what I said before; ancap doesn't increase your options, it enslaves all the poor and/or weak instantaneously by removing the apparatus that make the richer and/or stronger afraid to abuse them.

If you learn that one of your neighbors recently beat up one of the neighborhood kids, is it okay for you to beat up another kid, in order to achieve symmetry? No; two wrongs don't make a right. If country A commits a rights-violation, this is not fixed by country B committing another rights violation against someone else.
This completely avoids the concept of punishing country A, a clever gaslighting trick that makes you feel stupid for asking a completely valid question.
In reality, immigration pressure between pairs of countries is mostly one-directional. It barely matters if Mexico prohibits Americans from migrating to Mexico, because hardly anyone would want to do so. It's still a rights-violation, but a relatively small one.
I mean... Okay. Not relevant to the Ancap migration restrictions.

Taking into account, in addition, that immigration benefits the receiving country, the question is a little bit like: "If my neighbor shoots himself in the foot, should I shoot myself in the foot too?"
If enough people migrate into Ancap societies, they can, will and throughout the entire Earth historically have stopped it being Anarchic first, not necessarily selfish and capitalistic. This is because humans, being the most intelligent animal, realise the problem with letting brutes abuse weaker people without 0 restriction. That's not optimal.

I think I replied to enough to clarify.
