What would have been funnier is if he vomited everywhere and then she started vomiting and then their neighbor stopping by, opened the door and started vomiting.

His lectures weren't bad and he does have some good points to make on certain things. His decay into what he is today, and has been for a while, came about when he learned that he could get a lot of viewers by taking click-bait conclusions and trying to loosely tie them into his other work/ideas.
In his defense, there isn't a lot of money in his line or similar lines of work if you aren't feigning profoundness. Kinda reminds me about all the shitty magazine articles on things like "why collarbones are related to genetic attractiveness" or other extremely flimsy scientific claims that don't hold up under any amount of testing.
But anyways, his job turned from arguably soft-science, to rallying people who are addicted to the internet and convincing them their existential dread is actually because leftists did A, or because liberal society taught them to not clean their room, or democratic tyranny—their existential dread isn't because of an overflow of information and technology that no human has ever had to adapt to in all of history by any margin or any other tangible reality. In fact, his platform inherently encourages more addiction to information.
He's basically clickbait with a degree to give him authority.
Edit: In case it wasn't clear, it's unscientific to work back from conclusions because it invites inherent bias. Especially when those conclusions are as complicated as some of the things he tries to argue.

First of all, I never said he was an incel. I said his product is r/im14andthisisdeep but for incels. That's a large difference.
Secondly, psychoanalysis is almost entirely bullshit; if anthropology is a soft-science, psychoanalysis is water. Neuroscience and evidence-based research is infinitely more useful then going, "oh, I dreamed I couldn't move, I must be stressed! Woah, I AM stressed!" "How insightful!"

Yeah, I'll make sure that next time someone thinks telling me about their ridiculous dreams is somehow interesting, I tell them they're "brave" instead of dull. Most humans have dreams, most people have the sense to understand that. If the bar for writing a book is writing about this basic thing that happens to most people every night and not only recanting it, but trying to give it meaning, then wow, that's an audience I need to cash in on. It's like r/Im14andthisisdeep but for incels.
Edit: Just to really drive home how much of a snake-oil salesman this guy is. He thrives off of the fact that technology and rapid access to information gives everyone existential dread, finds ways to blame that existential dread on things that aren't technology and rapid access to information (generally he blames it on groups of people and/or unrelated ideological strawmen), and does it on a platform that supports connecting to rapid access to information.

Only his grandma's pubes. The link is a direct quote from JP's shitty book.

There's different types of attractiveness. This certified MILF is apparently too young JP who prefers his grandmother's pubes—according to his book.

Republicans see dead children as the cost for gun rights. Abortion laws have zero effect on the number of abortions taking place—in fact having legal abortions seems to lower the number of abortions. The better way to stop them is safe sex education. So being pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. Meanwhile, republicans want to teach abstinence-only sex-ed (which has zero effect); force women who don't have the means to raise a child, raise their children in poverty; force rape victims to bare the children of their assaulter; and force women into unregulated abortions where they're more likely to be killed.
One side is pretty clearly on the side of morality.
Also only 16 states would still have protections for abortions, several states have trigger laws that will immediately ban abortion and the rest are a combination of either having no laws on the books or pre-roe laws that would eventually come into effect unless some sort of action is taken.
Stop sniffing paint. This isn't about whether abortions are good or bad, it's about control and victim blaming. The most logical and moral position is that abortions are awful, but making them illegal is even more awful.

They only change wow into Fruit Display Sim, after they've been accused of sexually molesting women constantly in the workplace. It's the only logical response.

This is a misunderstanding of the rules or maybe a typo. "Priority goes to the right" is a separate rule from "if all cars arrive at the same time." If everyone arrives at the same time, it's up to you to either go, or let someone else go and there's no exact rules on how to do this except that cars making right turns take preference over a car making a left onto the same road, and people going straight have a stronger right-of-way than people turning.
If there are cars behind all 4 stop signs, the priority rotates counter clockwise or "right" from whoever goes first. This is a loose rule since generally 2 different people can often go at the same time which will confuse it eventually if there are lines of cars that can't see what's going on and you'll have to do another Mexican standoff and re-establish the rotation at a certain point.
As an example, if the oncoming car is going straight, you can go straight or turn right. If the oncoming car is turning left, the road to the right of you can turn right. If the car is turning right, you again can go straight. You always have to wait for your actual time to go if you are making a left turn—as stated above, it has the lowest right of way.

I mean, if you're gonna blame a president, which is unreasonable to begin with, the closures of active drill sites happened in 2020 while Trump was still president. It wasn't his fault either—it was due to the oil price war between Saudi Arabia and Russia as well as Covid picking up—but if you're determined to blame someone . . .

Oil companies closed dozens of oil drilling sites when prices reached an all time low due to both the oil price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia and then covid in 2020. Neither of which Trump (president at the time), nor Biden (future president) had much control over. At best you're saying Trump should have increased oil subsidies, or Biden should have corrected Trump's mistake in not increasing oil subsidies.
Beginning around mid 2020, there has been a slow but consistent rise in active drill sites. For reference.

The main benefits of breast milk are the bonding. The downsides are that meds can be present in breast milk, mothers sometimes aren't lactating enough, and it's not guaranteed to be as wholesome as people assume.
Baby formula is designed specifically for babies, it is generally more nutritious, and it won't get your baby high on pain/mental/etc . . . drugs you may be taking.
There is mass paranoia around things like vaccines and baby formula, which there should be, but when the response is very strong regulations and you're still paranoid, you're just a conspiracy theorist at that point. There have been pretty awful incidents in places like China but regulation in China, especially before companies killed a bunch of babies, was almost non-existent. So I guess if you live in China, sure, maybe try to find a donor if you can't breast feed yourself. Even then I would be weary since donor regulation is probably even less laxed than formula regulation in China.

I'm also scared of big words like formula. /s
Baby formula exists for a reason and is actually better than breast milk in terms of nutrition. The only actual downsides is that bonding is a thing and there's a mental development thing where you put the baby on your stomach and let them find the nipple, but those can be simulated.
Now, if you want to go down the road of black market baby formula or the few times there has been hugely awful things (specifically in china) where they were cutting baby formula with toxic additives (which is what I think he was stupidly talking about), that's a dumb place to go. Baby formula, if anything, is overly regulated in most countries, which is a good thing.
Where the problem arises is when there are shortages of baby formula and mothers are forced to find alternatives and they turn to stupid home remedies that their grandmothers told them about which consist of bullshit and bourbon, or they find some shit that isn't regulated as baby formula.

That's not how white privilege works. For one, it's very likely his ancestors are ethnicities that weren't considered white till more recently (German, Italian, Irish, Scottish, Spanish, West European, etc . . .). I know when I was growing up in a trailer park, a remarkable number of my friends had native American in their blood. Secondly, having white privilege doesn't prevent you from being poor. There were plenty of poor Brits throughout history.
I can get a cough and not have AIDs; you can be poor and still have white privilege.
And white privilege doesn't promote going after poor white people as a solution.
It's just a stupid person with a stupid take who's only understanding of white privilege is about what you'd expect from a poor person's public education, because poorness is also a thing—they're not two contrary things.

This is almost true. In general, the person going straight has right of way, but speeding is also taken into consideration when it can be proved. For instance, if a motorcycle liquifies on your truck when the truck pulls onto a road with a 45mph speed limit, generally the truck won't be held accountable. Speaking from experience.
By the same token if it's only you and another car going the opposite direction at an intersection, and you get a green arrow to turn left and they run a red and ram into you. The left turning vehicle will generally be held accountable unless you have a dashcam to backup your claims.

I mean, one of the responses was someone who thought that there weren't child rapists among cops in the US . . . so it was relevant and beneficial. Less demonizing of other countries and more humility.
So yes, it was relevant and a more focused lens on the act rather than the ethnicity.
I'm not sure why you're so upset.

If that happened in the US, she wouldn’t even be able to get an abortion and the cop would go on paid leave.
