You’re right I come off as rude in many threads, It’s my fault entirely. Social media, video games, high internet usage deteriorate mental health significantly, loneliness, individualism, atheism.

Temporary jobs are abundant in NL, nobody is unemployed for months. As for housing, yes it’s hard. Western Europe has drained eastern Europe of its population, hundreds of thousands moved to Germany, NL, Austria. It’s not new or odd, it’s common, in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Romania etc it’s almost expected if you have higher education. Overall I agree with OP but he can live there if he wants. It’s so common that people go to Western Europe, work there for 5 years, qualify for i.e German pension, and move back home, after retirement they receive German pensions in Croatia where it’s cheaper to live generally. You didn’t know we were so advanced ay? You can’t work in Switzerland and get part of Swiss pensions in your orange man bald eagle star and stripe lookin ahh country https://commission.europa.eu/strategy-and-policy/policies/justice-and-fundamental-rights/democracy-eu-citizenship-anti-corruption/free-movement-and-residence_en https://europa.eu/youreurope/citizens/work/retire-abroad/state-pensions-abroad/indexamp_en.htm

You can move and live in the Netherlands tomorrow and be a permanent resident as a polish person without a job or paperwork. Learn the language, There’s no excuses. Seems rather silly to talk about it in such romantic and glorifying way when it’s so open and available to you.

This topic reminds me of a video i watched recently:

You must really love Québec to invest so much into this project lol

My father is an alcoholic divorced twice, I might answer 1 out of 10 of his calls. I never think about him nor care about what he’s doing, the fact that he’s my father doesn’t change that he’s full of shit. If you’re an adult, a healthy connection with your dead-end parent isn’t necessary. I refuse to spend my energy healing a relationship I didn’t even ruin, as it was ruined before I was ever a conscious adult. There’s no trauma, It’s just about priorities. My life and success over stupid family squabbles.

Nothing like good BROCCOLI SPROUTS

You might have high cortisol, anger issues are a common side effect.

How do you eat them

I have, I used to eat only meat and white rice back when Jason Aculization recommended it on this forum, tried it for a month, gained some weight, but that's about it. I lost it all since I stopped. I don't think a food group is causing this; I have eyelid jitters, which is just a massive sign of high cortisol and acumilated sleep debt.

I also have a white coated tongue, tiny appetite, dry lips, constant burping & low libido and ed. I get regular appetite signals but I’m full in 3-4 bites. It’s especially hard for me to eat meat, high calorie foods, and easier to eat sweeter foods over salty ones. You’re probably genetically predisposed to this just like me but there’s something worsening your symptoms. I would advise you to not restrict yourself to specific food groups like vegan, vegetarian or Mediterranean. What causes everything for me is likely terrible sleep. For regular appetite you have to be awake in the morning and sleeping by 11-midnight. And get full 8-9 hours.

All women are attracted to the same behavior and not the same looks so why bother even thinking about it? Social proof and preselection are #1, these are well studied. This is when a woman sees you socializing and having a good time at the bar and she gets attracted to you because of it. This is probably how 99% of your ancestors got laid.

The era of deep personal friendships is probably a dead concept in 2026, It’s dying by the decade.

I have traveled to over 18 countries in my life across the entire world, Europe, Asia, and North America, but one country keeps catching my eye in terms of checking every box for quality of life: Australia. I truly have no bias or attachment to this place, I haven’t been there either (yet), BUT on paper, this country seems to have the most important things. Here are my thoughts in no particular order. I won't go into living costs or political problems, as everyone in the world has an issue with these things. IT'S EXPENSIVE EVERYWHERE. Sydney and Melbourne are giant seaside/coastal cities, which is rare. Bigger than a lot of European countries and cities in population, at 5+ million each Giant skyscrapers On the Pacific Ocean Safer than most Western countries, like the UK, USA, France, Canada, and Sweden. 480,000–630,000 animal species are unique to Australia. AU has all kinds of stunning birds, bugs, mammals, reptiles, and fish that can't be found anywhere else in the world Examples: Cassowary Platypus leafy sea dragon Wild Kangaroos, Dolphins, Koalas, Wombats, EMU... Warm climate Lots of greenery, sand, nature, and water. This can't be understated. It's rare to see such livable cities and such unique terrain. Might add more later. Australia is what people think California is; California is a pretty place mixed in with the ugliest slums I've seen. Australia is IT. Only issues Skin cancer rates are super high Insanely remote, far away even from South Asia.

If you’re gonna keep pleasuring yourself you can easily do that for 50+ years and be absolutely miserable, you never tried anything with real women because you were never interested. Men are supposed to go out and fuck, doesn’t matter if it ultimately satisfies them or not.

You’re supposed to go out and socialize as a man, and girls absolutely will give you the hair flipping and side eyeing bullshit they do when they find you attractive, it’s an invitation to talk to her. People get laid through 1 or 2, maybe 3 social mechanisms and It all comes down to the man. You’re not supposed to target one woman, that’s more her thing, men’s game is volume based, and when It’s volume based the points she made in the video fall apart.

There's no way you understood what she was talking about I'll quote one line from the video "And that shift is incredibly destabilizing in a dating market where the majority of participants benefit from ambiguity. So rather than confronting compatibility directly, the competition will start to attack the meaning of those signals." What the fuck is this woman talking about? Is this even English? I see these self-help videos all the time where the creator is spitting major nonsense to resonate with an audience who values complexity and nuance, but it's not complexity or nuance; it's just fluff. Her points make little sense to me.

No Being horny just means you're healthy I have minimal sex drive, but I also have crippeling insomnia.

Somebody said a kangaroo is just a deer that learned how to stand

If you ask ChatGPT, it's gonna say, Vienna, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Zurich, Melbourne, Vancouver (?), Tokyo, Auckland. It's more objective than you may think, because of human values, and they apply evenly across the board. Like spending more time outside, your personality can be opposed to it, and you'll still be miserable. Personalities are not wired for happiness. Your personality can wire you for misery. In personality tests, you're asked what you do daily, not whether you actually like doing it. You can look at this Forbes article and see how often New Zealand and Australia rank. Everything is expensive. If you live in Bulgaria, where life is cheap, salaries will match, and it will still be expensive. Although there is some truth to this, Germany has higher wages, lower rent and grocery prices than Canada, despite 200% more demand in DE, higher GDP, and a fraction of the size in square meters. The funny part is that people still complain about German prices!!!

Likely the one I’m facing right now, recently my visa to go to Canada (Toronto) got approved, I was thinking of using it to move and start a business in trades, It’s probably the best financial decision I can make, and later move the business to the US or Australia. The barrier to entry is practically none, the visa is approved, apprenticeships and licensing are loose in Canada for trades comparatively. Or stay in Europe and pursue something online. The question is less financial and more about do I really see myself living in these places long term. 5 years ago most of these places were mostly imagination, when I traveled to the US 2 years ago, my illusion was broken. It’s not perfect, some things I found inauthentic to how I wanted to live.

You can look at Melbourne and Sydney from a plane, and you'll see tons of greenery; it looks very tropical. You can see here how the ocean penetrates deep into Sydney like a river Central Europe doesn't even have sandy beaches; the only one I'm aware of is in the Netherlands, which looks terrible. If Central Europe means Germany, Slovakia, Czechia, and Poland, it doesn't even compare; most of these are very gothic/soviet style countries, I'm personally not the biggest fan of it, some of it is genuinely old and crooked like Budapest and Prague. I don't understand how people can look at those black bricks in Prague and think it's nice looking, maybe historic, definitely not pretty. Nobody actually wants to go outside and feel like they're living in medieval times. Germany can be nice, but definitely not tropical or exciting. I went to Tokyo last month, and the best part of the city, called Odaiba, was the one part most similar to Sydney and Melbourne. I'd call it a life-changing experience. Insanely livable, fashion and car scene unmatched, walking around at 2 am, super late night restoraunts and convenience stores. I would actually rate the US and UK the worst in livability, with some US exceptions. Amsterdam is perhaps at Australia's level. It's hard to even think of how a place where everyone is armed to the teeth with guns and knives could be livable. To each their own

You guys belong between America and Europe in the Atlantic, just below Greenland, you should know that. It's strange to fly over the Indians and Asians to arrive at a place where there are again, redneck whites.

We live in a world where adult men wake up and play video games on their computers first thing in the morning for hours. A lot of them have sub-consciously given up. Governments must shut down all internet use on weekends at least (sedentary uses first perhaps) Because if the government doesn’t intervene people stray away from basic humans values, that’s just how infantile we are.

It could be that your way of life and your values are truly rare Recently I’ve been feeling like I’m the only sane/sober person in this world, I’ve quit drinking, cocaine, video games, porn, conspiracy thinking, red/black pill ideologies and smoking, meanwhile 30 year old men at my company are still playing league of legends. I find most normal people deranged these days, I can’t believe how they live their lives in such thoughtless ways. If you’re liberal, maybe move to a more liberal city. Participle in activities that are most authentic.
