Lucky for you cargo stuff seems to be back in style, at least where I live, haha

I bought this Patagonia Retro-x fleece recently (see model pic below) and it's one of my favourite items of clothing I've worn in a while. I think it suits my personality well and I usually wear it with very similar dark navy jeans to what you see below. I tend to wear mostly just jeans and a t-shirt for convenience and then a more interesting jacket for style. You could probably call my style something close to Gorpcore. I like Levi's jeans, and I like Patagonia t-shirts, especially capilene cool trail. But these are more for quality, comfort, ethics, and practicality rather than style. It's also again not really style, but I'd recommend you get rid of all of your socks and buy like 3 pairs of darn tough merino wool socks. They're comfortable, very smell-resistent, and they'll last you a lifetime. And if they break, they come with a lifetime warranty so you can get replacements sent out for free.

Then he’d no longer fit the wise bald man aesthetic

How are aliens going to get all the way to earth if they can’t use tools?

Well this is about what style of life forms would be capable of building space ships and traveling to another planet So tool use, which our bodies are optimised for, is going to be a critical trait in a species that reaches that stage A dolphin or an amoeba can’t really build a space ship no matter how intelligent it is

It could be because that configuration is universally effective. Bipedal motion could be one of the most effective and efficient general purpose configurations for a being. Think about it, your bipedal setup allows you to move quickly, fight, and use tools effectively and also at the same time.

I get your point, but it could also be the case that there are certain traits like emotions and bipedalism that are generally extremely useful and so evolution on other planets would also produce creatures with them. Almost all animals on earth have evolved to display basic emotions like fear. Fear seems like it could be a universal emotion for any organism that doesn't want to die. And if I remember correctly, bipedalism is a very efficient way to combine moving + fighting + using tools simultaneously. Also regarding communication, if they have the technology to make it to our planet, they would likely be capable of decoding and replicating our speech near instantaneously. It could be the case that aliens are very similar to us, or entirely different. It's really just speculation and it's something that is very hard to know for sure. I would not be so confident about it

Any advanced editor features like quoting, images, lots of formatting, tags etc. just don't work very well on a phone Though I do visit on my phone a fair bit anyway.

I live in Scotland and I heard not a single thing about this despite it being released in March. I can only find two articles about it online and both are quite biased. So it’s somewhat hard to get an accurate picture of what this is actually about. You’re right, it’s pretty extreme the way it’s worded here and on the articles I could find. I doubt that it would be enforced in this way if it were introduced into law. I would also say that a group of guys loudly talking about sexual conquests in public is not really acceptable behaviour, it should be discouraged. But this is probably not the way to do it. Most places already have laws about being loud and obnoxious in public, as well as laws against public hate speech, this would likely be similar to those. They mostly only get enforced at the extremes or as part of more serious crimes.

Leo has a video about this! I'm sure you can find it if you search for "actualized.org intuition"

Poverty in the US is caused by things like lack of education, massive rent payments, health insurance costs and debt. Reducing taxes is not going to change any of that.

Most guys go into online dating thinking that they can stick a few random pics from their phone up and get some matches, but chances are those pics will be quite boring. If you’re gonna do online you should do it right. The next step up from random boring pics from your phone is a cohesive set of images that match specific aesthetics. A lot of guys who put effort into making a profile go for aesthetics like: - the part time Eastern European drug dealer - the gym bro - the tall skinny goth sad-boi - the thoughtfully stares off into distance bro And these are often what men think women want rather than what women really want. Some guys can pull these styles off but most can’t. The reason is because they make you look like you’re trying too hard and like you take yourself too seriously. That’s a turnoff for a lot of women. You need pictures where you look comfortable and natural, that match attractive aesthetics, and also match your own personality. This is quite tough to do well but if you get it right, even if you look average you can get matches. Obviously the better you look and the more you pay dating apps, the less effort required. For many guys the effort + money would be much better spent meeting women IRL, not even just because of how they look but because, as you mentioned, online dating doesn’t really grow you much at all. As a final point: the best pic you can put up on your profile if you want to meet good woman online is a high quality picture of you in comfy but stylish clothes, with a massive warm smile cuddling a big fluffy dog. Even better if it’s in a cool place. Picture that in your head. Everything about that image is appealing to a majority of woman.

Why are your desires for sex more important than a woman’s desire to feel safe? Women are smaller and weaker than men. A small minority of men will kidnap women and chain them to radiators. A much larger minority of men will spike a woman’s drink, take her home and rape her. If you were at risk of these things happening to you, do you not think you would be quite wary around men who were “creeping you out a little”? That feeling a woman has around creepy men is the same feeling you have when you walk by a rowdy gang of dudes alone at night. No one is teaming up to put you in a cage. It’s not like that. If you consistently creep out enough woman in the same area, the number of reports against you to the same authority gets high enough that they will tell you to stop doing what you are doing, and if you don’t then they will arrest you. If you find yourself in that situation it is not the worlds fault, it is your fault for being a public nuisance and not heeding the numerous signals you got that what you were doing was making lots of people uncomfortable. It’s absolutely possible to learn to navigate the social world without being creepy. That’s what you need to learn to do instead of getting hung up on what happens if you creep women out. I promise you it’s worth it.

This is a very reputable source of survey data. I think that any data they present will be accounting for biases like this.

Here is an example of this happening for reference, posting as it's one of my favourite infamous Tate clips where he admits to some BS while trying to show off:

It's really hard to do everything well. If you look at Twitch and YT as an example, in theory both should be able to do exactly what each other do successfully. But they can't. Why is that? Or YT and TikTok. YouTube has tried to enter the TikTok space with shorts but it failed pretty badly. Why is that? Massively scaled tech companies like this often need to specialise, it's very hard to do everything well at such a large scale. Let's say it's even possible to create a successful everything app; musk fired 80% of his staff. And on top of that, I expect a lot of his most experienced devs probably quit anyway. Musk's companies have a reputation for being a toxic place to work. These experienced devs would be the kind of people who could switch to any other big tech company and get a high paying job in a hearbeat so there is little incentive for them to stay at Twitter.

When Tesla and his previous endeavours gained success he seemed far more mentally stable and rational

It’s worth thinking about the difference between seriously harmful promiscuous behaviour and experimentation. Both can contribute to a higher body count but they mean different things. The first is lack of impulse control which is an indicator someone won’t make a good long term partner, and the second is a display of open-mindedness and introspection which are indicators that someone would make a good long term partner. And that applies to male or female. The reasons behind why someone has the body count they do are more important than the actual number. Ruling someone out specifically because of the number itself is silly.

I think Musk is dealing with some sort of sunken-cost situation where he’s spent such a mind-boggling amount of money on Twitter that he’s now incapable of making rational business decisions for the company

Being aesthetically pleasing helps. Being neutral looking is fine, you can make that work. Looking unkempt or unhygienic is a problem. Most guys can make it to that neutral category with good grooming and style. Acting creepy or coming across as unstable is a far bigger issue and will fuck you up no matter how you look. The energy you give off on this forum is erratic and chaotic and these are not helpful traits for making a woman feel safe around you. You are experiencing a strong desire for a woman which is natural but it is likely several steps away for you. That is also natural. It is meant to take some work to be attractive, you are not entitled to a woman just by existing. Work on your mental stability, social skills, friendships, style, grooming etc. and then you can start approaching girls in the mall. Or even better somewhere more naturally sociable like a bar or a club.

Well, he hurt, manipulated and scammed a lot of people. So it’s somewhat hard to feel sorry for him.

@Bobby_2021 Fuckin amazing job compiling this all together btw, it's very useful to see it laid out in one place Idk how you could read all this and still think Tate is worthy of support.

This is such a silly vision IMO. In fact, it's so vague that it's barely even a vision. It's like a high 15 year old came up with it. "Listen bro, I want to make an app that does everything, it will be awesome bro trust me" I think it will end up being some weird "jack of all trades, master of none" kind of thing. And when it comes to online services people tend to like a specific service with a strong brand that does one thing well, instead of a service that does lots of things poorly.

That's an interesting stat! Though I do think it's important context that this stat is specifically for marriage, not relationships, see text below. Liberal people place slightly less overall importance on marriage and so are less likely to try hard to make it work. And it's quite well known that woman initiate most divorces, which implies they are the ones who are typically least satisfied in their marriage.

He really is a knob
