Welcome to The Hub. This is our welcoming tribe dedicated to introducing yourself, meeting new people, and learning about new tribes.
@First-light I read it a while ago, although I don’t own a farm, I have still adopted some principles from the book i.e waking up before the whole house does to insure everything is in order, allocating duties to family and friends, end day accounting of funds, being frugal in my spending, creating order in the house, respecting ancestors, being strong in character, providing protection, leadership, and discipline in the house, ensuring everything is in its place when the day ends, keeping a strong posture and tone, drinking sparingly that way I’m always vigilant enough to fulfil my duties, sleeping early, house inspections, planning for tomorrow the day before, creating a respectful and calm environment within my home, and daily physical training.

@Chantfire Its hard to overrate the greatness of this man.
The Greek philosophers made a lot of noise about how the wise man should think and act and are still quoted much today (and deservedly so). M. Porcius, had some things to say on this too, however he also actually lived the life of a great and wise man. That sets him above all the Greek philosophers. He actually walked the walk.
The cognomen Cato itself pays tribute to his sound sense grounded in experience and character, which trumps all philosophy. Philosophy might give a man some of the attributes of a Cato but it can't actually supply the full package. Cato was not only a great paterfamilias but he was also a successful politician, esteemed moral authority, brave soldier, astute commander, a sacker of cities and builder of Rome. Privately frugal, yet a public benefactor. And yes he was also a good farm manager.
The great thing about M. Porcius is that its all one thing with him. It starts with the inner man, disciplined, wise and frugal leading a family which through him is disciplined, wise and frugal, families building themselves up with intergeneration success make up the backbone of the Roman city state which should also be disciplined, wise and frugal. The greatest success a politician can have is to destroy his people's enemies and then give his spoils to his soldiers and his people, keeping very little if anything for himself because -like Cato's own hero and role model Manius Curius Dentatus- he is secure that he already has all he needs -a healthy body, good name that men will stand up for and enough simple food from his farm to keep himself healthy.
Needless to say Cato is very unpopular these days with the liberals. This should tell men all they need to know. Men should study Cato. In the study of self improvement through good mores -customs- it really is a case of bellum se ipsum alet. He didn't mean that when he said that liberal chilling phrase but as he showed in his life, the rewards of the struggle themselves fuel the continued struggle, one needs no more.

1) Virtually all human interaction is manipulation.
2) I'm just about always open to new ideas, at least for consideration. I'm not likely to change my mind, but the possibility exists.

No, but I do make use of the "not interested" and "don't recommend channel" options.
The Great Stork Derby was a contest held from 1926 to 1936. Female residents of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, competed to produce the most babies in order to qualify for an unusual bequest in a will.[
The race was the product of a scheme by Charles Vance Millar (1853–1926), a Toronto lawyer, financier, and practical joker, who bequeathed the residue of his significant estate to the woman in Toronto who could produce the most children in the decade following his death.[
Eleven families competed in the "baby race." Seven of them were disqualified, but eventually Judge William Edward Middleton ruled in favour of four mothers who each received $110,000 for their nine children ($2.24 million in 2023 dollars)[
Having a diverse feed and being conscious with what you are consuming is definetly a great step towards the right direction and much better than what most normies are doing. Nonetheless, always keep your guard up because at the end of the day that only proves the system has decided you like variety. Even if you turn off autoplay and manually click videos the system still decides on what to show you and what not based on what it thinks will keep you engaged.
So yee, users have some control, but the idea that the algorithm isn’t slowly manipulating people’s worldview because “you can just click things manually” is way too optimistic about how influence and recommendation systems actually work. These systems also make use of your current emotional state based on your input. In moments of weakness, when you are feeling a little too relaxed they will show you things you might not usually agree with in order to manipulate your opinion.
Or are you using specific browser extensions to really block the recommendations and only focus on your subs? I'm wondering if that might help towards a better feed.

@Typo-MAGAshiv her cunty, paint peeling, fruit spoiling voice paints a pretty vivid image on its own.
I think there is frightening variation from state to state on this one. I remember MGTOW saying that there are some states where if she gets in the door to spend the night, she has to be allowed a month of notice to quit and this means you can have a woman trash your home for the next 30 days if you tell her to leave (even if you never had sex with her once). I also recall someone saying that police said "If her toothbrush is in the bathroom, we can't do anything" Those cops must have had enough of being fucked about by entitled cunts and taken their authority to the limit. Her condescending saccharine middle class professional tones set the teeth on edge terribly in any working man.
