@03:18:33- In the 2024 election, why they didn’t steal it, the left is not a sizable group without taxpayers money, Tfm is optimistic about the future, Russia will not cut a deal, president of Iran is a moderate but won’t make a deal

@04:59:39- BraveRenegade superchat one more question. Mortgage is a 815 with a 3.5 rate in a lower cost of living area. Feels like he’s always bleeding money to fix his house. Should he just get a town house with less expenses?

@05:40:26- MarkStrong superchat thoughts on suicide. AMR would preach that in Islam, committing suicide would send you straight to the hell fire by Allah.

@05:41:01- Tfms thoughts on suicide, one more good day standard, suicide is a permanent solution to a short term problem
@05:50:50- MarkStrong superchat do our thoughts come from the mind, the brain or some external universal consciousness. What fascinates him is the idea that we can only worry about one thing at a time.
@05:51:21- You can only think of one thing at a time, your thoughts come from your mind, don’t confuse your thoughts for yourself
@05:55:59- MarkStrong superchat Tfm said that it’s highly unlikely that a girl is full on lesbian and only attracted to other women, because they use strapons. Can you explain that. Are you sure that there aren’t any pure blooded lesbians. Also is homosexuality a gene mutation? Why would nature allow it? Or is it social conditioning?

@06:24:04- Calorie deficit will help you lose weight, Ozempic, drugs help people who can’t ignore their physiological need to eat, two groups of people Tfm envy, body builders and gym rats
@06:29:58- MarkStrong superchat Nobel prize winner Geoffrey Hinton, godfather of ai quote Conciousness already arrived inside ai, suppose I take 1 neuron in your brain cell.
